Based on a true story. Set during the famous airdrop before the invasion at Normandy, where Sgt. Matt Baker and his squad of 101st Airborne Paratroopers were scattered over the French countryside.
As the story unfolds, you must choose between the success of your mission and the lives of your men - your brothers in arms. Brothers In Arms: Road to Hill 30 will immerse players in the historic, eight-day invasion of Normandy - with unparalleled imagery, authenticity, sound, and gameplay.
One of a kind: Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30 is the only first-person tactical shooter set in WWII.
Real military tactics: Intuitive and easy-to-use squad controls appeal to both the hardcore and mainstream gaming audience.
Real soldiers: Featuring a cast of more than 20 characters, each with a unique personality, appearance, and style.
Revolutionary AI system: Allies and enemies use the standard operating procedures of fire and maneuver to flank and kill their foes.
Unprecedented authenticity: Historically accurate and detailed battlefields, events, and equipment re-created from Army Signal Corps photos, aerial reconnaissance imagery, and eyewitness accounts.
Innovative multiplayer: Players command three-man AI teams in a battle of wits and skill to accomplish exciting objectives.
Award-winning team: Gearbox Software, creators of Half-Life Opposing Force and developers of James Bond: Nightfire, Counter-Strike, and Halo (PC).
One of the good Gearbox series before they went... well as they are now. it's solid.
Being the first one it's a bit rough, especially compared to the contemporaries (Call of Duty 2 was the same year) the missions feel short, and the shooting isn't as good, but the addition of supression and tactics MAKES the game. The fact there's an actual story is nice too
Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 is a first-person tactical shooter set in WWII. It sets itself apart from other WWII games by providing the player with a unique tactical perspective. You command your squad as they fight their way through the villages and towns of Normandy against the German occupiers.
Each of the men in your squad has a unique personality, and you have to make some tough decisions under pressure that can sometimes have tragic consequences for your brothers in arms. This makes you very invested in both the story and the men under your command.
A more tactical approach to the FPS genre, the levels are more puzzles that you have to solve rather than simple stages in most other shooters. That being said, the "puzzles" generally have only one "good" solution despite, on the surface, appearing open to player agency. Furthermore, the game is pretty small and short, so a lot of artificial difficulty - especially in terms of frustratingly bad RNG weapon (in)accuracy, but also in very slow movement speed, etc. - has been added to pad the playtime.
In terms of graphics and sound, the game is pretty good in terms of production value. Looks good, sounds good, voiceacting is solid. Only technical issue I found was that the input to pick a weapon from the ground is often ignored, which is super annoying in cases you have to pick up anti-tank weapon for a quickly approaching tank and it does not work so you just hopelessly mash the button hoping it works before the tank blasts you to bits.
Overall, it's a good experience most of the time, but when the artifical difficulty crap rears its ugly head, the game gets very frustrating. There are certainly better ways to handle balancing and pacing than making a rifle, which IRL has effective range of 500m+, so inaccurate that you can't hit a house while standing directly in front of it.
