It wouldn't have made much sense to shoehorn Brothers in Arms' innovative single-player gameplay into a conventional multiplayer game.
We recently had the opportunity to get our hands on Brothers in Arms' mutiplayer game, and we've got a full report as to how it plays out.Īs members of the development team told us, what they wanted to do is avoid creating the same old multiplayer gameplay found in so many other shooters. Brothers in Arms impressed us when it was unveiled last year, but developer Gearbox has kept the multiplayer component of the game a secret.until now. What this means is that you will not only shoot at the enemy with bullets whizzing over your head, but also you'll have to constantly analyze the battlefield and issue commands to your computer-controlled squadmates. Brothers in Arms combines the fast-paced World War II action found in games like Call of Duty with the tactics and squad controls of last year's revolutionary Full Spectrum Warrior. After years of linear, heavily scripted first-person shooters in which the action unfolds the same way every time, Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 may very well represent the next big thing in the action game genre.
