Djaron: Greetings

I didnt pay attention first time i played the mission and saw the cutscene in my iitial playthrough of the game, but in my second playthrough it just struck me:

I think/believe there was a rather awesome and nice easter egg in this game. But it could just be me seeing things, so i'd rather have someone confirm or infirm that:

SPOILER ALERT BELOW

After the mission for Operation Northstar, we see the cutscene where Beholder Initiative still manage to fulfill their schemes by having the boeing plane shot down by russian fighter... The cutscene also says the plane was on its way to Korea.

So basically, we litterally get "the russians had shot down a plane on its way to korea..." (and i'd add "... two hundred and sixty nine innocent victims had died... Murder in the skies came without warning !")
Which basically IS the main lines from a song called "Murder in the Skies" by Gary Moore, that incidentally happens to be from the 80ies.
Such coincidence seems too good to be true...

So if it was accidental, well, it's still a great coincidence.
If it was intentional, i deeply bow in respect to the devs' dedication to the whole 80ies vibes in this game !

Thank for any answer on that matter

PS: game is awesome, clearly my weakspot for 2018, and i had seen, played and loved quite my share of tactical games so far...

Djaron: oh ok, so the whole mission in operation northstar is based on an historical event of a korean liner number 007 being shot down by soviets in the 80ies ?

then i guess the song is inspired by same event then, one same chicken laid two different eggs it seems :)

btw, they were so jealous of british's james bond agent that they thought a planed numbered 007 was a licence to kill everyone on board ? gee...

Also, like the ways the game ends, (no spoiler for people here) as being tied to other historical events... So the game aint occuring in a dystopia.

That "strange" ending also is closure enough for a game the way it went, afaic... but it leaves devs room to continue the whole thing on a wannabe sequel (please, do one ! possibly in the 90-ies or early 2k-ies)

Because imho, this game is great, for me it's a classical already and had a very good launch and support/feedback-using followup from very reactive and listening devs; they pulled a lot in this game, one can clearly sees

Also, couldnt help but putting the song here
