Even if you have a good position with a scope and aim well and you able to find their tiny uncovered area and then shoot, you still can’t knock out the machine gunner, even when their head is exposed in a half-covered MG foxhole as you aim their head then they won't die too. yeah, the game is realistic, but instead, it creates hype, even if enemy is shooting at your teammate and NCP while you getting closer, then you die very suddenly without even the sake of a bullet hitting you, that FUBAR. also, if you’re skilled at marksmanship it will become useless, the game's aim their sway make it difficult to hit anything except about a couple of feet, even when crouching won't help as hell. Of course, understand that The enemies don’t wait for you to take your aim and shoot, stressful and under fire. But then what, if I fixed them on the place while I can’t flank them & suppress them as they won't even goddamn get their own head down, why not just use the rifle and shoot the target with good marksmanship? then what is all point about be aiming, if that so about aim sway are just always getting worse and can't make a good shoot, this will be a game from good concept then automatically ruined like nothing But except only telling you not to aim for shooting while just use sake of name tactical manoeuvre to shoot someone at fucking few feet as shooter game. just hell with it, played many times on Hill 30 and earned in blood.

Brothers in Arms is the only World War 2 shooter that understood that the "meta" of gunfights and tactics in the Second World de-emphasized precision and individual heroism. Rather, the "meta" of World War 2 was very much the need to apply overwhelming heavy firepower on area targets and follow up with mass assaults by large combined-arms formations. Not 3 or 4 guys. If you sent less than a Company to capture an objective, you weren't doing it right. It's not that individual achievement or precision was impossible before digital technology-but these things were not the norm-they were the exception. Only Brothers in Arms managed a "mode" or a configuration of gameplay that illustrated these concepts-and that's unfortunately probably why it's been forgotten. Because its shooter mechanics totally downplay individual empowerment and underline the *scale* of fighting in the biggest armed conflict in history.

Ikr, the gunfights in brothers in arms games are extremely realistic in their own way. If you notice, it took WAYS a lot of ammunition in order to eliminate a single German two men group, which is very realistic compared to real life gunfights. Sometimes when you shoot at a soldier while they are not yet suppressed, there's gonna be a chance he is going to execute a duck animation to avoid the shot, giving the feeling that these are the real human beings, not machines.

When it comes to shooter games, I never quite enjoy the 'superhero' trope. The thing I love the most, is when you feel like you are just another soldier in a bigger war. You're not trying to win the war, you are trying to survive it. Older Call of Duty games still gave that feeling sometimes. I remember and I don't know if it was COD 1 or COD 2, there was a section in I think Stalingrad, where you started a certain section with 1 or 2 friendly soldiers and had to go through quite a few streets to get to the next bigger battle. The section was a few minutes long, probably not even lasting 5 minutes. But the friendly soldiers if they died, they were gone and you were on your own. I always loved trying to keep the alive, not by leaving them behind and clearing the level on my own, but by genuinely pretending to be working together with them. They weren't special soldiers, just carrying auto-generated names. But it felt like we were in this mess together. Brother in arms truly did it better than any other game. I've been wishin for a part 4 for a long time. Though I'm not so sure if newer generation has the patience for games like Brothers in Arms anymore. Or they just want over the top action.

ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIME WITH A TRUE EMPHASIS ON FIRE AND MOVEMENT. I don't know if Hell Let Looses suppression is broken or intentionally nerfed but in recent videos I watched the suppression in HLL no longer makes enemy aim inaccurate. Nor does it produce blur or screenshake half the time if the bullets land in the dirt next to you or on walls/surfaces next to you. They really need to fix that because having a fire element to suppress and an assault element to move is the most fundamental thing a squad based ww2 shooter or any shooter needs. But especially a tactical shooter like HLL. EDIT - AND WTF WAS THAT BROTHERS IN ARMS 4 BS.

I will say that Call of Duty 2: Big Red One did a similar good job of making you feel as part of the World War 2. You start out as nothing more than a private but part of a squad of what feel like real people. Only your squad leader is the one set up to die/no longer be around due to the prologue being in the "future" when you are now the squad leader. The deaths of the others feel impactful and not really seen coming, and as replacements come in you don't really care to know the new guys. Yeah, it still plays like a Call of Duty, but the writing was pretty good for the time and I think it overall holds up even now.

The series have gone far too long without a sequel that I think it's not worth it to continue the series for the devs. There's always talks of a game being developed but they ALWAYS end up getting cancelled or no more official informations (abandoned most likely). This is from someone who's been waiting for a sequel since I was 11 (i'm 22 now). It's hard to bring hype to a new audience to a WW2 game especially for Brothers in Arms. In this current era WW2 games are over produced, the peak is long gone. That's why barely any developers (especially AAA ones) want to do WW2 themed games nowadays. Gearbox would rather make 3 more Borderlands spinoffs than make another BiA game since it's making them the most money.

The bullets got slow, like star wars slow, making it feel less realistic and immediate. Bullet time? Yawn! Breaking the emersion further is the third person mode. The first two games were exciting because they really put you there, fighting in France. Hells Highway took a step back and reminded you constantly that you were just playing a computer game.

Never understood why these games didn’t pick up, why they never seemed to be really commercially successful. It’s really sad. Amidst huge waves of absolute COD and Fortnite shit, hidden gems like these games get forgotten. It’s sad. And even more sad is that they provided an authentic feeling of a tactical approach in real time like no other games. Like in real firefights. Standstills that in order to be sorted require flanking manoeuvres, taking risks and balancing choices.

Pick up? These games required a more thoughtful, deliberate approach than others. Some lengthy but critical tutorials to be patient with. Controls, commands, incoming. A lot to learn for a young player in 2005.

I never liked how they changed the third person and the way health works in Hells Highway
@tsfullerton4 ай бұрын
Third person only if you Choose to dig-in. The 'health' system can be deleted in the gameplay menu.

This game series felt like an episode of band of brothers every time. Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood were absolutely chaotic, nailing the atmosphere of a firefight. The sheer amount of volume produced from bullets being exchanged in a skirmish was incredible. Glad I grew up with it.

Liked the whole series but I got my start on the Xbox version of Road to Hill 30. I still have my sealed Matthew Baker figurine from the Hells Highway limited edition, back when pre purchasing actually got you something tangible.

As a former infantryman I've always enjoyed this series for it's accurate battle tactics. It kind of falls apart somewhat as you exist between the two fireteams, floating around trying to direct them. But that's only when the game sets up multiple bounds and expects you to move through them linearly. In reality fireteams each have a commander with a brain (hopefully).

Brothers in Arms was in fact inspired by Band of Brothers. I love that about the game series and was debating revisiting the games hoping they still hold up.
@tsfullerton9 ай бұрын
Debating? Revisiting? Yes, the entertainment value still holds up. These games are not for the impatient. Understand controls and your 'golden'. Cheers.
