Of course, you won't always know where your foes are dug in, so the developers decided that you need to have a way to figure out where any shots might be coming from. The command icon can also be used to select any enemies you'd like them to fire on, and you can choose between supressing fire and an all-out assault. If you swing it against a corner, it will change to indicate that this is a place to take cover, while placing it in the open will cause your men to charge to that spot. Rather than tossing grenades, holding the left trigger will bring up a context-sensitive icon that can easily be moved from position to position, staying on the ground at all times. Although the standard controller scheme is essentially exactly the same as Halo, there is one major difference. While this might sound like a daunting task at first, it's made quite easy thanks to an innovative and intuitive command system. Unlike many other tactical shooters, such as Ubisoft's own Rainbow Six series, you don't just point at a spot and move your men: you control their strategies as well, telling them to hide behind cover or fire on an entrenched position. One squad, known as the fire team, will lay down suppressing fire, pinning the enemy down, which in turn allows the assault team to move forward and get the jump on your (hopefully) surprised foes.
You do much more than simply tell them where to go and what to do you actually plan their movements, using two squads to perform elaborate, methodical flanking maneuvers. It would be very easy to call Brothers in Arms a tactical shooter, but I feel like that would be selling it short.
One of the nice things about the game is that you and Matt will both be learning how to lead at the same time, which is a good thing since there's a lot to learn if you want you and your men to make it back to the States in one piece. Matt Baker, an American who landed in France without his squadmates, but was able to get them back together one man at a time before leading them to victory. In the game, you'll fill the combat boots of Sgt. This true story (and the events that followed) is featured in the early levels of Brothers in Arms, a new first-person shooter being developer by Gearbox. When dawn broke, they attacked the German forces as planned, turning the tides and changing the course of the war for good. The soldiers, disoriented, cold, and without light, made their way through the dark, slowly regrouping and building squads. It was a good plan, but unfortunately the winds of war (aided by quite a few anti-aircraft battery) had other plans for the men, scattering them across the countryside.
The night before D-Day, the Allies dropped members of the 101st Airborne Division behind the German lines with the intention of having the fighting force attack the enemy from behind while the rest of the invasion landed on the beaches of Normandy.
