We'll be releasing a new screenshot every day all week, with a bonus screenshot for the members of the mailing list. We worked very hard to get these screenshots for our community, and I'm sorry that you don't appreciate it.

The purpose of remembering Market Garden is important to us here, and I imagine that learning more about the circumstances around the game's story will benefit players who really appreciate our focus on authenticity and compelling narrative.

Six screenshots, that's good...
Also nice to read something about the background from market garden....

seems like Baker has a hard time in the netherlands..

baker looks like hes in a race with hartsock to see who can get the most facial scars before the end of the war.

his forehead scar is almost unnoticeable now (fast healer?)

oh and not that it matters but the 506th didnt drop NE of son in drop zone A, they landed in drop zone B and C with the 502nd NW of Son, and SW of Sint Oedenrode (which also put them E of the town of Best). Drop zone A and A-1 were the 501st's and they were just SW of veghel and W of Dinther respectively.

ass-kissers.

ennui: please dont assume to know me, and whether or not i appreciate something. i was merely asking the question: is that really it?
i would think, after the 2+ years that a majority of us have been hanging on GBXs every word, that at this point we might get more than a couple of screenshots.
what about some dev diaries? letting us know what part of the process has been really challenging? what parts were easier than they expected? harder? what about things that are 'next-gen' BESIDES graphics (since every new game looks cool, what else has improved?)? AI? physics?
how about polling some of the HH devs to find out what their favorite aspect of working with better hardware and UE3(?) is?

im not a thirteen year old with an xbox and an attitude bigger than my wang.
im 30. i have two kids. im a fairly busy guy. the fact that im a member and take the time to read and post on your site says i appreciate what you do...
sorry to offend...
ian.

Many companies only post stuff by a exclusive of a magazine, and their forums are for nothing.

Ah, interesting note - let me verify this correction with the Colonel and make an update if necessary. I definitely want the updates to be as accurate as possible, and am using the materials I have available immediately
