Don’t know much about these folks but I hear they are some serious BAMFS.
Have you ever played MoHW? :sarcastic: no seriously yeah BAMF’ers.
Don’t play the CoD/MoH series.
That is where my mind went as well lol.
I thought this was going to be some Polish guys racing Honda GROMs around…
The must be BAMFs. Didn’t they have Chris Kyle as their driver in Iraq?
(Reference Reagan’s joke about Gorbechof driving his own limo.)
Crazy Poles.
Currently reading Beyond The Call: The True Story of One World War II Pilot’s Covert Mission to Rescue POWs on the Eastern Front. Much of the book takes place in Poland. I’d say the Pols have been hardened for the past 75 years or so.
Good game. Missions based on real events, which got those guys in major trouble ha.
I thought that - with the exception of the Maersk Alabama mission - they were all written by guys who had been there, but weren’t actually based on any mission that had taken place. Such as landing a force of Marines in Somalia to destroy the bases of Somali pirates (with the player being part of a Navy SEAL team sent in to assist and support the Marines).
The capn phillips scene was my favorite.
Meh. I thought it was kind of silly. It was boring and easy and it was basically a QTE bookended by long loading screens and cut scenes.
The road chase in the city was cool. Didn’t expect that from a shooting game.
In 2009 former SAS Trooper Chris Ryan had a TV show called Shadow Soldiers, he did an episode with GROM/BOA. Yeah, they are card carrying members of the pipe hitter’s union.
Most CoD games seem to work one in. As do most MoH games.
I didn’t particularly enjoy it as the car physics were not very good and the car controls were horrible (but I’m used to Forza) and I don’t see how some juiced up Grand Cherokees can keep up with (let alone pass or get so far ahead as to be able to actually t-bone) a hot Audi station wagon with the throttle wide open.
I think that best info about what GROM is can come from those who worked with our guys in WoT. I’m sure there are some people with 1st hand experience with working with GROM or JWK (former 1.PSK) here.
AFAIK GROM was featured in mentioned game because of endorsement from some SEALs involved in game development. GROM did not allow any active duty soldiers to participate in project, but number of “just retired” soldiers were working on it, using gear provided by unit.
Generally Polish Special Forces units continue legacy of WW2 elite resistance units and No 10 Commando No 6 Troop and “Dark and Silent” Paratroopers (“Cichociemni”).
Video from first post is mix of materials from actual training and enacted videos popular in net.
I loved the campaign, I just hated the multiplayer. It still has the best weapon customization of any shooter I have played especially for us gun nuts. I hope they roll that same level of attention to detail in Battlefield 5 down the road. Good stuff.
