6 Trivia
In the final demo level 'Sturmfront', there is a large urban area comprised of numerous skyscrapers which forms the two alphabets, 'SK', when viewed on briefing satellite image. This is a hidden Easter Egg/reference to one of the leading level designers of the game: Stefan 'Opti/Metzel Hetzel' Karau.
