First Omaha Assault documented
« on: 12-04-2014, 21:04:15 »
Hey guys,

I filmed the first ever assault on Omaha ( 762 servers ) with Fraps. I got shots from both sides and tried to capture the action from all the best vantage points. I will be making a Youtube video about 6-7 minutes long and will upload it in next few days. A lot of you guys are clearly in the video, so be prepared to see yourself in this historic moment!

I'll let you guys know when its up for viewing.  8)

Cheers,
Los Los Los

Can't wait for the video! I couldn't be there when the first landing crafts hit the beachhead, so I really want to see the footage :D

Wow that Lafette footage makes me realize how hopeless that part of THE landing must have been.

I'd love someone else's point of view on this truly great night of gaming.

Everything was so new that you really got that true D-day feeling, most of us had not seen the map before and all we (Americans) knew was that we were going to land on the beach, and all the Germans knew was that we were going to land on the beach, we didn't know where to go or what to expect except resistance.

Didn't know gaming could create those emotions, you really felt like you were part of history, not only for FH2

I too recorded my first experience on Omaha Beach. I died alot but it was epic -- the Americans managed to capture most of the bluffs before the round ended. I'm really looking forward to playing it after the ticket count has been raised and balanced have been added.
