The word being translated as “valor” in English was the Latin word for “virtue.” I found this quite exciting, because indeed the original meaning of the word “virtue” is military courage, or “valor,” if you want to use the best word to describe military courage. I quickly discovered that the translation was rendering three simple words: The central meaning of the film seemed to hang on this word, “valor,” and so I was most curious to see the exact vocabulary originally used by Tacitus.

The movie had been titled “ Act of Valor,” after all. What was the word being translated as “valor?” I wanted to read it in the original Latin. I was unfamiliar with this particular translation, and so my immediate impulse when the film was finished was to leave the movie theatre and head straight for the library to track down the original source of this quotation. I confess I was thrilled to read these classic words. At a key moment, a most excellent quotation from the Roman historian Tacitus flashes upon the screen: There is also a third aspect to the film that makes it especially notable for me. Truly, with respect and honor, this is exactly what we should leave to the trained professionals who alone are competent to wield such weapons with courage. Indeed, Act of Valor offers one of the most vivid lessons in “don’t try this at home” for movie watchers. I think such actors will be glad to stick with fake guns and fake bullets for the rest of their acting career. It may be all in a day’s work for a real warrior, but an actor or other civilian watching the film will gain a new appreciation for the seriousness of military affairs when they try and imagine being on set, trying to do those scenes with real bullets. It makes you appreciate how dicey it is to place a human in harm’s way in these types of situations.
When you know this fact about the film before watching it, you are even more impressed when you see the gunfire unleashed. Again, this was another mark of rare authenticity for the usually fictitious world of moviemaking. Second of all, the movie was notable for its use of live ammunition during battle scenes. I wouldn’t want this to become a regular thing in the movies, but it is certainly a mark of distinction for this particular war movie, and it really sets it apart from other cinematic attempts to do artistic justice to the fallen. The theme of the story was sacrifice and honor, so it was somehow most appropriate to have them playing the main roles in this tribute to fallen comrades. Still, I didn’t mind putting up with the limitations of the acting ability of the real-life heroes over the course of the movie. After all, acting is indeed a craft that is at its best when it is done by practiced professionals, or at least amateurs who are gifted with an innate charisma. This lent a certain unusual authenticity to the dramatic enactment, even if the acting seemed a bit stiff at times. First of all, for its casting it used real-life warriors instead of some Hollywood actors. The turrets cannot see you, and neither can the VC because they are being suppressed by the rest of your platoon.When it played in the movie theaters, the terrific movie Act of Valor (2012) earned notoriety for two reasons. Instead, stay prone and crawl up the middle. The VC appear on both sides after eliminating the first two turret bunkers rushing up the right side does not work under the normal or hard difficulty settings. If you try to kill everyone first it will not work they just keep appearing. When you are rushing the hill under the easy difficulty setting, just rush up the right side. Take the tunnels slow sometimes you will get face to face with the enemy crawling the other way. If done correctly, you will never be short on ammunition. Try using an AK47, as there is more than enough of them laying around. Remember, if you do not advance quick enough VC and NVA will keep appearing in surrounding areas, including behind you in some levels. Never enter a building without throwing in a grenade first, or if there is windows, aim your sight at them from a safe distance while keeping cover. Take as much time as needed, within reason. Continually advance, but always get cover as soon as possible. Treat every level like a real combat situation. Go through it, then you will be next to the bunker. However you must not go forward as it is practically no man's land.
On one of the levels later in the game you must get behind a bunker to plant a C4 explosive to destroy it. Then, enter one of the following codes to activate the corresponding cheat function.
