Brothers in Arms is a pretty good FPS. Focusses more on you managing your squads, than actual FPS action. But still plenty of action for your trigger fingers. I will admit the sighting for this games weapons is a little goofy, and it takes several kill shots to get the enemy to die. But hey if all the war FPS's were written the same way they would get boring. SO hats off to the BIA franchise for keeping things interesting. Aw come on try it - just keep your thinking cap on when playing and you will have a great time. Ran great on my Vista 64 OS and the Sony Vaio FW370 laptop.
Put simply, this game is the finest video game ever made. It goes without saying that it's the best FPS on the market - and that statement includes the time between here and its release date. It's amazing, because of the squad tactics and the unique system the game has for you to command your two fire times. The tactics are PRECISELY what I've *literally* used in the real world to survive urban firefights and the experience is so viscerally similar to actual combat that it illicits the fear-focus physical changes that you experience in real life. This is AS CLOSE as you will get to actual combat. I bought this eBay item to make sure I had a MINT condition 2nd copy of that game just in case my primary copy ever dies. THAT'S how good this game is.
Brothers to Arms:Earned in Blood is a great game that challenges you as a gamer. This new Brothers to Arms is online and can play with one or two players. The game is also rated M for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence and Strong Language. Unlike the first one, the german soilders will try to flank you, assult you and they will move from cover to cover to get a better shot at you. The game also has a new co-op skirmish mode. But, the game is like a copy of the original with some new guns, smart germans and the skirmish mode, but, you play as Hartsock not Baker. But, the game is one of the best WWII games I have ever played.
Very basic game. No obvious improvements in game play over original (hill 30). even on the hardest setting it was realitively simple. History info you are awarded after each mission was enjoyable though. Enjoyable for the first hour or two but very little replayability. Online game is again not very good. Decent maps but there is really zero security against hacks and exploiters even with punkbuster. One shot kills happen 8 out of 10 times. It is a decent game for younger people or someone just looing to waste a bit of time. HIGHLY recommend Battlefield 2 and the newish 2142
Graphics are not quite up to the Quality of more current games, and I really prefer to be in a first person shooter, rather than this one where you are in command of others. I knew that when I bought it, but wanted to try it anyway. Would be very good for someone who likes to control most of the action.
