"The inspiration behind the creation of our latest trailer

The making of our “Leave A Message” trailer started with a simple concept and a very straightforward execution.
Everyone involved in creating the trailer was in complete agreement from the very beginning. We had three simple goals. We wanted to be authentic, we wanted to be respectful, and most of all, we wanted to give a special nod to Steven Spielberg, who created the Medal of Honor franchise over a decade ago.

The best way we knew how to do this, was to recreate the Omaha Beach landing with Jimmy Patterson. Except now, instead of arriving on the shores of occupied France in the hull of a Higgins boat, our Ranger would arrive in the Shahi-Kot Valley, in Afghanistan’s Paktia province, in the modern day equivalent, the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Basically, Normandy in the desert.

Since the entire piece is taken directly from the opening of the first Ranger mission in our game, creating the first pass of our trailer was quick and easy. We simply slowed the animation down and removed a few scenes that didn’t fit within the message. The entire untouched scene at regular speed remains in the final product.

There is a wonderful gag in the middle of the scene where one of the Rangers actually begins to realize that things seem very familiar to him. When it finally dawns on him that he is basically reliving the D-Day landing from “Saving Private Ryan” he quickly notices that he is sitting closest to the loading ramp at the rear of the fuselage. He then taps one of his teammates on the shoulder and says, “Hey, I’ve seen this movie, you sit here!” and then trades places with the young Ranger."
