Brothers in Arms

Brothers in Arms is based on a true story following the events of the famous airdrop before the invasion at Normandy. Players will take control of Sgt. Matt Baker whose squad of 101^st Airborne paratroopers were scattered over the French countryside. As the story unfolds, Baker must choose between the success of his mission and the lives of his men – his brothers in arms.

Brothers in Arms engage players in the historic eight-day invasion of Normandy. Brothers in Arms promises unparalleled imagery, authenticity, sound and gameplay.

Revolutionary AI System: Allies and enemies use the standard operating procedures of fire and maneuver to flank and kill their foes.

Unprecedented Authenticity: Realistic storyline giving players an accurate historic view of detailed battlefields, events and equipment recreated from Army Signal Corps photos, Aerial Reconnaissance Imagery and eyewitness accounts.

Innovative Multiplayer: Players command three-man AI teams in a battle of wits and skill to accomplish exciting objectives.

Award-Winning Team: Gearbox Software, creators of Half-Life Opposing Force; developers of James Bond: Nightfire, Counter-Strike and Halo (PC).

With an award winning cast like that, I have high expectations for Brothers in Arms. Even though I’m not the biggest first-person shooter fan I’m somewhat interested in this game do to the fact of it being the only first person shooter set in WWII. Having an accurate perspective of the war could also appeal to many gamers.
