Gearbox, UbiSoft Confirms Brothers In Arms
An anonymous reader writers: "On Blue's News, there's the official announcement of Gearbox's Brothers in Arms, a tactical WWII shooter with first-person action but the ability to 'command elements, which are your fellow squad members', to be published by UbiSoft, initially for Xbox and PC later this year (though 'PS2 and Gamecube [versions] will follow in 2005'). This was the Gearbox title rumored under a different name earlier this week. But better yet, UGO has the first in-depth preview with screenshots of the game. Looks sharp, sounds like it plays sharp, but we'll see - WWII games are a dime a dozen, but they seem to be getting better in quality recently."
At first I thought the title said "Brotherhood of Arms". I was like "NO WAY! TEAM FORTRESS 2?!?"
...then my supermodel wife asked me if I was going to pick up my Ferarri today so we could take it to the UN summit where I was to be honoured for ending world famine and finding a cure for cancer. And I realized what an idiot I was because in my fantasy world, TF2 came out 6 years ago! DUH!
(Sorry. I haven't taken my medication today.)
As part of the leadership role, Baker has the ability to command elements, which are your fellow squad members, ordering them to attack a target, move to a position or follow him.
