Influences, storyline, et cetera

Post by Jovan »

History Television has a "fact and film week" (ending tomorrow :(). Anyway, I think one of the influences for CSF was Guns of Navarone. Judging from what the characters do, we can see that there infact is a commando-like character behind Gregory Peck, a sniper behind Anthony Quinn, and a spy portrayed as David Niven. Infact, some of the missions show scenes from the movie, such as the cliff-convoy ambush, a little fortress, et cetera.

Now, on to the storyline. The Commandos 2 trailer states at the end "The commandos are born". Does this mean that C2 occurs BEFORE C1? I'll let you decide :)

Me and Tom have been talking lately, we'll have an announcement to make soon regarding Commandos in general.

Oh have we..? :p

To answer your C1 / C2 timeline question; in both games the missions start with a briefing including the mission's DATE.
