Band of Brothers in Arms First, in correspondence with the review posing the question of being able to play on the axis side? The answer is yes, in multiplayer. As in most WWII shooters you'll be able to play as an Axis power, which is very much the same with Battlefield 1942 (considering it's a multiplayer game only.) Secondly, this game is a true story. The characters, battles and the stories around them are real. If you've seen HBO's fantastic miniseries "Band of Brothers" then you'll know what you're getting into. It's the story of a different company (Fox Company) of the 101st Airborne Division. Story aside, this game is not even close to "more of the same crap." It's the first game to take Full Spectrum Warrior's team command system and integrate it with a stylistic first person shooter. Gearbox has taken years of gathering information, recon photos, location scouting, weapons firing and study and has handled this game with care. Randy Pitchford has said that he knew that tackling a game in the already heavily populated WWII genre would be a daunting task, but with the help of retired Col. Antal and historians and a great developement team, they feel they've created a game that surpasses all other WWII games. Respected game reviewers IGN and Gamespot have already declared it to be "The Best WWII Shooter of All Time." I, personally can not wait for this game and the experiences of intense combat it's promising. Cheers!
