Default Brothers In Arms

Anyone got it?

Having been addicted to multiplayer medal of honour, call of duty, rainbow 6 and the like - this is a different and probably better experience IMO, great game for those who havent got it yet

I have it, havent played it though, got it few weeks ago....anyway its in my xbox game spindle all the way at the bottom, it will probably never the see the light of that dvd laser.

Is it worth waisting time to open the CD spindel and dig it up?

Just a little update. I just got the game for PC and actually played it for 30min or so. It is very similar to whats the name.......ahhh...fuck I forgot....anyway you have to control your men, you go into an overhead cam check out the situation and command your squad to either supress or flank etc...but its still an FPS, but with an overhead cam availible for command purposes.

The graphics look beatiful at 1280x1024 AA4 AF8...

It definetly looks like its worth playing for some mind numbing fun. You know when you are stressed out and want to have some fun, go shoot some nazis, then blow up some more nazis, kill more nazis, and kill your squad men just for the heck of it 8)

I have this for PC too, I have seen many vids of this and this is supposed to be one of the best games of the year so far, if not the best. I got it for PC but my PC is a little old and I dont want to play it without experiencing its full majesty.

i was thinkin of gettin this,but havent so far as i thought it may just be to similar to the latest war games (Call of duty etc etc) so i think Devil May Cry 3 and Doom 3 for the x-box may get my vote to buy this week

10x better than full spectrum warrior - FSW got a little boring without you being directly in the action - with this you're completely immersed its pretty amazing

I got it about a week ago. Its a great game, not as revolutionary as I thought it would be, but by far and away the best WWII game i've ever played. Its cool how you get to issue commands to your squad, and how the game forces you to be tactical.

Some parts are quite hard, though...

Hey mindgam3 if you like rainbow6 try some of the other titles, like rogue spear, and ghost recon.

I used to work for ubisoft ent. I worked on the ghost recon project. Try Americas Army ops too thats a well made game. THQ makes some good firstperson shooters too. The first redfaction was a good game.

Don't like ghost recon, played rogue spear for years, but its dated now.

Am currently playing Raven Shield quite a bit alongside BIA
