    Default Brothers in Arms

    i really like this game so far

    when people start modding for it it is going to be amazing

    the multiplayer is a bit simple, but the concept is new

    I was really keen on this game before it came out as I like the idea of a shooter with some historical accuracy, but then it got awful reviews among people on the internet whose taste is likely to coincide with mine. Two problems I heard were (a) aiming was terribly inaccurate; (b) gameplay got repetitive - suppress, flank, assault and then repeat. How do you find these aspects?

    It heard the multiplayer sucks, the guns are supposedly very inaccurate and weak so everyone rushes in for a melee attack.

    The aiming are inaccurate yes, but it makes the game more fun.(takes longer time to kill the enemy; the missions are not done in 1,2,3 sec)

    As of flanking, I don`t really bother and snipe `em from a distance, or send my team to kill them.

    Don`t know anything about MP.

    im telling you

    it freaking gnarly

    gamespot even re-reviewed it with a 9.0

    it is a billion times better than call of duty and the multiplayer is a novel approach to fun tactical gaming

    chess is "boring" too, but tons of people play it all the time

    as mods and expansions come out, this game will be amazing

    i thought the same things, but when i played the demo, i was pleasantly suprised that general public reviews can be wrong

    remember, this is the same "general public" that loves action flicks and shiny objects

    plus it is around 29 bucks
