Baker, along with the rest of the squad is preparing to disembark from the C-47, when the plane is hit by anti-aircraft fire. The game then snaps back to the initial jump off, taking place hours before the Normandy Landings.
Platoon Sergeant "Mac" is seen trying to resuscitate Baker before Baker fades into unconsciousness. An unhinged Leggett is seen firing an M1911 pistol at the tank, only to be torn apart by another shell. Unable to raise support or reinforcements, the situation for the Paratroopers only gets worse when a Panzer IV appears and fires at them, knocking Baker down again. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Paratroopers make a desperate stand as Leggett, the squad's radioman makes a frantic request for tank support. The game starts with the player, Sergeant Matthew "Matt" Baker of the 502nd Infantry Regiment at the climax of the Battle of Bloody Gulch. The game is based on the historical Mission Albany, in which the player has to complete missions based on real actions of the 101st in Normandy. The relative lack of accuracy is designed to simulate the difficulty in hitting targets in a combat situation and to force the player to use team members to engage enemy units and provide better tactical opportunities.īrothers in Arms is based on the true story of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) of the famed 101st Airborne Division who were dropped behind German lines on D-Day. Instead of having almost perfect accuracy with weapons in games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor, Brothers in Arms models weapons with erratic accuracy, and enemy fire can interfere with a player's aim to simulate the effects of suppressive fire. The focus on team command rather than individual marksmanship is emphasized by providing the player with inaccurate aim.
The game stresses at multiple points the effectiveness of fire and maneuver tactics, known as the Four Fs actually used by the military during World War II, expressed in the game tutorial as "Find, Fix, Flank, Finish" describing the steps in suppressing and flanking an enemy. Teams and tanks can be ordered to move, lay suppressive fire, rally, find cover, and charge the enemy. The player can also man the pintle-mounted M1919 Browning machine gun on the tank for additional suppression.īrothers in Arms is notable for its intuitive command system. Assault team: Made up of soldiers usually with the M1A1 Carbine and the Thompson submachine gun and is good for flanking the enemy while they are pinned down by the player's fire team.Īdditionally, some levels provide the player with a tank in lieu of a team, providing players with heavy firepower and mobile cover.Fire team: Made up of soldiers with the M1 Garand and the Browning Automatic Rifle and used to fix the enemy with suppressive fire.
There are two types of teams, which are automatically provided before each mission: In most levels of Brothers in Arms, the player is in command of one or two separate 1-3 man teams, with the exception of several sections in which the player is not in command of any unit. It was ported to the Wii in 2008, as part of the Brothers in Arms: Double Time compilation.īrothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 was also used to recreate scenarios in a 2005 History Channel special, also titled Brothers in Arms. The game takes place during World War II and focuses on tactics. It is the first game in the Brothers in Arms series.
