Not the same in terms of policy, aims or methods. Results are often similar, though. I say this as a social democrat – some areas were absolutely devastated by the pseudo-communist regime run by the Soviet Union.

I’m betting that Much Fun is from Poland. I went to Poland recently. I will say this much: the Polish are not fans of either Germans or Russians. They suffered millions of deaths at the hands of the Nazis, and decades of oppression at the hands of the USSR. If there is anyone to whom you cannot speak regarding the evils of each, it is a Pole. If you believe you can do so, you sir, are an ignorant idiot.

If you think they’re both the same, you sir are an ignorant idiot.

Problem is that WG KR probably didn’t have any clue about the original place of the map, as they actually had a contest for the Korean name of the new map with 500G prize. ‘Heartbreak Ridge’ was one of the candidates posted by Korean forumites. The place could be the model of the map as it was one of the most fierce battlefield of Korean war, but the name itself wouldn’t imply anything.

I’m sorry if your brain cannot comprehend the fact that the map is specifically based on Korea, has an unique name referring to a specific battle known for its bloodiness, next to one of the most famous landscapes in Korea. I mean really, I would think there were a few too many coincidences for that.

You could probably find 1000 places on google maps with the same amount of similarity. Unless a dev specifically states, “ya, that’s where we got the idea” this is nothing but bad conjecture.
