John Antal, US Army (Retired), is meant to simulate the actual squad combat tactics used in World War II. This game play style, advised and designed by COL. In the single player campaign, my favorite part is the careful attention Gearbox has paid to fire and move tactics, where you'll use a squad of soldiers to pin a force of enemy troops while you maneuver another squad in a flanking move to catch the opponent off guard, in the open.
The game play in Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 isn't what I'd call refreshing and new, but it is what I'd call good. Sadly, it all just feels like something of a novelty and doesn't really have the weight to stand up against similarty-themed Enemy Territory matches or games of Call of Duty online. BIA multiplayer is decent enough over a LAN, with players able to co-ordinate with each other far more effectively. Ubi.com still has inherent stability problems, and unsubstantiated invalid CD-key errors are common with the service. So far so good - but unfortunately, there are server browser is sparse and devoid of filter searching or organisational options. Firefights can be spectacular, with plenty of cover and hustling for position taking place and the Al teammates making a decent enough fist of things.
Objectives range from blowing fl up (or defending) anti-aircraft guns to delivering orders to the front to setting up ambushes for unwary opponents.Įach player has access to the full range of tactical orders for their squad, taking over the next in command if they fall prey to an enemy bullet.
That in itself makes a change from just blasting the hell out of everyone, keeping true to the tactical nature of the offline game.
