Saving Private Ryan

So I just finished watching Saving Private Ryan. It was an awesome experience, and a great example of how WWII was like. I think, if able to, everyone should watch Saving Private Ryan. It was truly, a great movie.

Uhh why? The CoD franchise is really big on accuracy when it comes to what weapons were around and their physics. SPV was too. It's inevitable they have overlap, but I thought it was notable that in SPV they all have different guns and every single one is a usable weapon in CoD.

@above: BARs were actually given to 1 out of 4 soldiers towards the end of the war. Well at least in the pacific...how crazy is that

I saw it last Friday. I LMAO'd at the part where they told the wrong guy his brothers were dead.

Sorry, as stated before, I forgot that the movie was made in 1998.

[quote=NineCrimes]It wasn't really a typical story...but it was a good movie I agree.

I like how they all have different weapons but they're all the weapons you use in CoD and CoD2.[/quote]

EDIT: Sorry all, I forgot the movie was made in 1998, and not in recent years! My mistake
