W@W reference on five

[weehammy97]

When I was playing five the other day, I noticed there was a picture of sgt.Roebuck either next to the mpl purchase or the other side, I can't remember :S

The weird thing is though, it was in colour...

:oops:

What's so weird about color? They had color technology back then. It worked very well and was getting around the country at that point.

Yup, colour or color film has been around far longer than most realise. Still I watched IGN on XBL yesterday and Jessica Chobot when telling people how to get the Thundergun in Numbers had to explain what an audio cassete was...

Semi interesting fact, digital cameras only see in black and white /light and dark. They then use algorythms to convert to colour/color, I keep meaning to look up if this is how the human eye works. Anyways here is the portrait weehammy was refering to.

Commander, you wouldnt happen to know where the location featured bottom right is would you? Or anyone else?

No what I found weird about the picture was that it was very high definition, for the 40's. I suppose I should have made that a bit clearer :lol:

It is only in recent years that digital sensors have constantly out performend film for resolution and quality. Some proffessional togs still choose to use film for a number of reasons.

With regards old photos it really just depends on the film, camera/ film format and the optical quality of the lens being used. The rest is down to the photographer and the light availible.

Here is a link to some colour WW2 photos.

That photo is really interesting. It has mountains in the back so it isn't any federal government place in the US. My bet is japan because Japan is very mountainous. Where did you find this photo? I'd also like to see a topographical map of Belarus, Germany. It may be Der Riese during the day.

Bump. I found out where that picture is. It is in the campaign when McNamara escorts you through the Pentagon. It is on the side of "distinguished heroes". It says on the plak next to it "Colone de Berbice" or somehing like that. Well that gets rid of the Der Riese idea.
