That name was so unfittingly hilarious. Gathering presents. Instead of "This company presents" it became a birthday mission "Objective, gathering presents. Locate and extract Tommy Lingdon's toy train". I laughed so damn much when that popped up.
Whenever i played this, it always reminded me of like a ww2 version of splinter cell, the fact you could sneak up behind enemies, and knife them quietly or make them surrender and go under-cover as an enemy soldier to make the mission/s easier and the voice acting was really good too :3
Wow, it’s been 17 years of this intro here, time goes fast.. I was playing being a kid, for now I could also launch it still having the CD. I’d like to experience again these days when life was no that serious and your only commitment was to wake up to the school. After playing some games spending time with the family, mostly parents and grandparents. That’s sad it will never go back. I’m really interested in the Second World War history, that was a pleasure for me to play in H&D.
Hey did you noticed the sounds of shooting and screaming Germans at 2:20 is actually from Band of Brothers, when they set an ambush on that horse-drawn carriage with soldiers? Check it and let me know ;)
Looks like maps were almost finished at this point, other features were heavy tweaks of HD1 assets, later they decided to make certain things from scratch I wish they left prerendered death anims. Ragdoll in HD2 looks weird Damn I wish we could pkay beta release of this game
The scenery used in the trailer/intro turned out to be a part of Warsaw. Interestingly enough, SAS has never been deployed in Poland during World War II which is one of the liberties in historical accuracy of this game, however the game itself is really great and is kind of historically accurate but not always.
@@hrafnkellorrirastarson7544 Hard to say, but there are mods that add extra maps to multiplayer and there is a map named "poland" or "warsaw" and certain part of it contains that building which is used in the intro
@@p13k4r3 that kind of building was built all around east countries. Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary. Its a typical architecture for this region. So maybe it wasnt specificly Warsaw
@@patrikmalory Yeah, you are completely right. However P13K4R points at one of Multiplayer mods which add map named "Warsaw" and is made of 4 roads and large building in the centre of map and when you enter courtyard, it looks exactly the same as shown in the trailer, with large hole in ground.
