Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is a new fantastic WW2 game based on a true story.
It's all about the airdrops before the invasion of normandy, so you play in an airborne team.
The multiplayer is special, you are not playing individual, but you got your own AI squad, every MP player is a squad leader. This makes the game much more interesting and realistic.
The graphics, effects, sounds, maps, AI system, MP etc are really incredible.
A demo is coming soon in about 2 weeks, and the full game (which should be dvd-rom) would be released in 3 weeks from now.
So if you like MoH or CoD, it's really worth to get this game.

looks like better gameplay than PA and seems to have a better storyline since its based on a movie... those GFX look AWAESOM
so instead of 1 player controlling 1 guy all the time, you can switch between your squadmates and the ones youre not inhabiting just use ai? (mp q)

Nope

8 days

If the whole game only covers 8 days, it might get old very quick. Will each mission only cover a few hundred yards? How many different objectives can there be in a game that only has a squad heading for a small french town?
I guess I don't see the big picture!

if it only covers 8days it must be in pretty good detail which wud make it really fun, or itd be short and really bad. guess we'll have to see.

i can see the MP not being a huge success. many gamers nowadays only go for MP in games (idiots, they cant appreciate SP i suppose, if they're not playing with real people, the AI and cool stuff and a storyline wont cut it

) so if the MP is different and NOT in a simple way lie CTF or KOH or some basic game, they probably wont like it.
i love it when games branch out from the norm, but this one looks like it might be a good game that might be too tight of a playability space to like too much.

MP only supports like 4 players also.....maybe this could be modded.

Looks Cool just hope you can turn off the excesive gore. I don't want to toss a grenede in a room and find heads and arms and legs rolling aroung the floor with guts splattered on the walls.

gratuitous dismemberment is the only thing that would bother me about games.. i dont really want heads falling off and legs getting shot apart. i'd be just fine with gibbing and blood decals.
Splinter Cell only had 4 player support, but this should feel like a lt more. i'd play it.

my sentiments exactally.
If you watch the trailer they show a guy laying on the groud with half his torso missing and his guts hanging out. Only sickos like to play games with that stuff on.
A little bit of blood splatter is fine like in hidden and dangerous. but the other stuff is not.

Yea it depends in what you like, personally I like the extra gore, more realistic. But ofcourse you guy's are also right, I guess you can choose the type of gore in the settings like in all other games. We'll see.

Well I sure hope so
Atomic is there a type of gore that if the game has you won't play it.

my guess is that's probably just a model, not going to crop up with NPC AI/PC people ingame
EDIT: Yes this looks fine, no gibbing and not even blood decals i think

i really like it

(torso up to neck torn open doesnt bother me anymore, especially after seeing HL2 zombies)
