Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this. This is the follow-up from Band of Brothers. It looks pretty nice.
Now we're going to have a million people around here going "OMGZORRZ, I'M TEH AUSTRALIA GUYS! i337!"

Just like SPR, maybe it will increase interest in WW2 and the manufacturers will release some decent guns.

I'm not saying it's like Band of Brothers "2", I'm saying that Speilberg had planned this after Band of Brothers, and it is a follow-up to the hit series, Band of Brothers. They're trying to pull in a larger audience with another.

Looks good but the trailer doesn't show much of the show. Was this trailer aimed at australian audiences or something?

I hope they include a lot of battles like Guadalcanal, pelilue, Iwo Jima, Okinawa etc. in good depth not like some puny battle scenes.

Well til they start making more weapons from the period that work and don't use those damn shell's or gas, and are reliable enough to last more than one game there's not much choice is there? With all the private conversions being made you'd think they would've picked up the simple notion that we(the WW2 public) want more than just an M-4 or AK. Its not like they follow patent rules anyway, so just steal someones idea and go with it you'll make your money back(hint hint hint china). The real question for the show is will it go through all the major battles or focus on just a couple to make it to the end of the war?

I hope they can make them blow back like the M4 sop mod.

You know I'd pass on the blow back thingy if instead they put out more period weapons. The time and money put into a blowback for a thompson would be better spent making an M1 Garand, M1 carbine, or ______(fill in your personal favorite weapon of choice).

Like a friend said "get ready for the overpopulating Marines" Exactly! I know a few guys who do Marine already,and its growing steadily in the blank fire community. There's also supposed to be a Bataan event sometime in the early fall that I plan on doing. But you're right, just as BoB spawned a zillion Easy Co. wannabe's, lets hope this doesn't do the same for Marines. Then somebody would make an excuse to use them in a European scenario so as to be "all inclusive" or some such BS!.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this one. Our 101st group also does a USMC impression, hoping maybe this will get more interest in the PTO. Can't wait... wish I had HBO though:(

I feel bad because i could have gone to the premier for this. From what i've heard, they are three marines instead of something like Easy company.
