I spent the past three days dying repreatedly on a street corner of Tunisia (where George Lucas filmed Star Wars). I was pinned down by two MG42s, one behind a barricade of sand bags 2 0′clock to my position and another on the second story of a building 9 o’clock to my position.

I took at the 2:00 with a well-placed grenade (that was lobbed right back at me 75% of the time), then switched up weapons to the German MP40 and took out two rooftop snipers, then placed two well-aimed bullets 50 meters into the skull of the 9:00 machine gunner. My fellow British mates threw a couple of smoke grenades which filled the streets and gave great cover to gain ground but made it very difficult to engage in the up-close combat that followed (if you kill any of your own people, you have to start it all over again).

Oh, and did I mention that playing on the Veteran level, it’s pretty much get shot once and you’re dead?

But I finally did it. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for these veterans to actually fight this war. But I can tell you this–I’m gaining more and more respect for them every time I die at the hands of these pixellated Nazi bastards.

I’ve said it before, but this is the best video game ever!
