I like the low saturated colors, makes it more dramatic. Captures a WWII mood perfectly if you ask me.
If there's anything adding to a gloomy atmosphere, it's... gloomy colors, somewhat greyish like in this picture.

stunning in-game music, which is the reason I still love that game)

Great picture that captures drama very well.
I just noticed that at least 5 guys are servicing that spit...
