Default Poem at the beginning?

Anyone know the title and/or author of the poem narrarated during the opening movie? I like the way it's presented.

Sounds like Shakespeare to me. But I'm not entirely sure.

"On Time" by John Milton: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton/rea...me/index.shtml

Strange choice for a submarine game, but whatever!

I thought the opening CutScene was EXCELLENT.

Its so good - I always let it run to completion on fireing up the game.

Just goes to show you diversity makes the world go 'round...and that's a good thing. You liked the film and I consider it a pretentious piece of garbage.

I loved it. Much better than pompous band music and deep voices saying "We are at war ..."

Agreed, its a nice POEM, would have been better if it went with some nice animation rather then ingame reused to death footage

It is called "On Time" by John Milton.
