I like all of those effects except for the film grain. To me, part of the reason I'm playing a WW2 shooter is to experience it first hand. Adding film grain just puts me back in the same limitation of watching footage from the era. But yeah, the rest of those effects would be yummy.

This movie needs more love. It's very well done. Looks like it may have used live "actors" rather than scripted NPCs?

Why are they so afraid of finishing TF2? Can't seem to get it as good as the original? At this point I would be happy if they just managed to port it over to source and did visual upgrades like CS:S.

The video is hilarious. The propaganda style rules, and there's even a shoveling at the end. Very cool stuff.

Will they use this in TF 2? Motion blurred, grainy, sepia toned concussion grenade jumping? (Okay, okay - I just wanted to beat the whiners to the punch in mentioning TF 2)

very cool stuff, im unsure as to how they would implement the DOF effect though, it wouldnt make any sense to use it in the same way as Garrys mod, cause thats just messy.... other than that fantastic stuff:)
