Cant really make a great deal of sense from that :P but if you're saying its Stransky that puts mines on the tracks, its not, its Steiner. Fantastic film though.

Is it only me that thinks that "The cross of iron"(or is it "The iron cross"? can't remember) sucks? The end sucks some major wang.

If you gonna watch WWII oldies, watch "The bridge over Remagen".

the Bridge over Remagen? you gotta be kidding, although it's not that bad....

the end of Cross of Iron is great in all its absurdity. this is antiwar, you can't have a happy ending and endings where everyone dies is used up

***Mast3rofPuppets*** · February 22nd, 2004

The point is that i don't think i understand the ending lol, and it's is sooo slooooooooow.

And "The bridge over Remagen" has some great fighting scenes.

Out of curiosity, are anti-personnel mines even possible with the BF1942 code? I've never seen them implemented in any mod, so I figured that perhaps they were not.

i think DC had them for a while but they sucked so hard so they removed them ..

What is there to not understand? The Russians are attacking, the Germans are fighting them.. seems ok in my book, a bit strange perhaps with the laughing and the children singing, but nothing too taxing... Its definitely a very anti-war film, but still has some superb battle scenes, especially the first Russian attack (where Steiner gets injured), with the handheld cameras and suchlike. Considering this was made in the 70s, 20 odd years before everyone made such a fuss about the handheld camerawork in SPR, I think its pretty good. Also turns a few stereotypes on its head, eg the anti war guy (Steiner) isnt some cowering idiot who cant fire a gun, he's the best soldier in the platoon etc. Plus the character development of Steiner's platoon is very good, really get a sense of comradeship, and feel their pain when they die. And finally Steiner's descent into insanity is well put across, and deeply disturbing.
I havent sat down to watch Bridge At Remagen, but I have a feeling I've seen bits of it, and cant say that it has really stuck out in my mind as anything special.
