It makes the game more realistic to play with it off but it makes it a hell of a lot more convenient to switch it on. You can opt to play with a reticle or not. Like in Rainbow Six, a couple of hits are sufficient to bring you down in Brothers in Arms. The Basics The basic shooter mechanics are solid but you'll probably need to adjust your mindset a bit since you're not the super soldier you are in most other games. While the main character's story itself isn't all that engaging, the context of the battles is always very clear and meaningful. From the small things like the offhand reference to the flooded fields that drowned many paratroopers, to the large things like the mission that involves removing obstructions that are preventing the gliders from landing, Brothers in Arms really puts the player there, from the early breakout at Exit 4 off Utah Beach all the way to the final showdown at Carentan. Though there are some definite concessions made for the sake of the game, Brothers in Arms is an undeniably authentic experience. From there you'll move on to clearing out towns, blowing bridges, and keeping Jerry from overrunning your command posts. Consequently, you can expect early missions to involve linking up with other paratroopers and taking out German defenses. Nearly all of the locations and events and characters you'll encounter in this game have been drawn from the actual experiences of the 502nd Regiment over those seven days.

The game takes place over seven days, starting with the nighttime drop and ending with the action at Hill 30. You play as Matt Baker, a sergeant in Fox Company of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division.

Through a disastrous series of mis-drops, they found themselves far from their original target and far from the other members of their company. These paratroopers were effectively on their own until Allied forces could secure an exit off the beaches. The Situation Just after midnight on D-Day, hours before the landing craft made their way to the shores of Normandy, paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd Airborne parachuted behind German lines to disrupt the defenses and forestall the inevitable counter-attacks that were sure to be launched once the Allied troops landed on the beaches.
