Breaking Free!



This chapter marks the beginning of autumn, it's getting cold and rainy. Also, since the Soviets expect our attacks by now, we'll be operating at night.

E: One last thing, while doing the final edit I noticed that I captured a Commando choking a fighter. In my commentary, I refer to the Commandos almost doing that at the end of the video though. I tried to mark it with an overlay, but it probably goes by too fast for you to really see. Sorry! But it's more or less impossible to get a clean capture of that move.

Weapons

Submachine gun

"The sub machine gun, used by the Soviet Special Forces, fires it's 40 round clip in the blink of an eye. Light and fast, this weapon is inaccurate but devastating."

The SMG is mainly carried by the Soviet Commandos and pretty situational. It's very effective in close combat, due to the high rate of fire and damage that's on par with the assault rifle. But it's major drawback is that it kicks like an angry horse. The muzzle will climb real hard after only a few shots. So any kind of distant fire is pretty much a waste of ammo. Honestly, I don't really like to counteract the muzzle climb and prefer the assault rifle. But it's pretty deadly in enemy hands, since they have infinite ammo and don't need to reload. Give a Commando the chance, and he'll rip you to shreds with it.
