It's an interesting, "battle". And it would be surely fun to see it in!

This whole thing got out of hand, I just wanted to speak my mind.
It's okay, some people are hateful spirits. I think Fort Wagner would be cool to add. It's a known siege due to 'Glory', so it'd be good commercialization on FSE's part.

Would make an epic game trailer...

Plus you could show an all(well, mostly)-black regiment! That'd certainly be a change from the norm.

So yeah, it'd be a great idea.

When you create an avatar before the servers load do you think it should have a darker (black) skin tone or it auto makes everyone other then  officers black when the round starts?

Personally I think it's a good movie with a nice feeling and an AWESOME soundtrack

Dunno about all the ACW-buffs here, though...

I thought it was an amazing movie. It's obviously based on the real 54th Massachusetts; The shit they had to go through to finally be recognized not only as soldiers, but as people, was truly amazing. It wasn't until they formed the vanguard of the Federal attack on Fort Wagner that they were truly commemorated. It's a great movie to watch if you want a history lesson, however don't look too much into it for uniform accuracy, prop accuracy, etc.

I only liked Glory because of the actor who played Gould Shaw, Matthew Broderick (great actor, by the way), and the excellent visualization of the story I read a lot about back when I was in high school.
