I just think the idea is so cool!

In case you guys didn't have time to check out this from the main SimHQ homepage, here's the link to download a recently released Brothers in Arms video:

I saw the website and the screenshots that you sent a while back, and it looked cool then - and it looks better now! This looks to be as good (or better) than Call of Duty, which is a very fine game.

Still waiting for that flow of WWI games though . Comeon! It's not as drastic a change as going from WWII to the U.S. Civil War or anything like that. You've got planes, (bulky) machine guns, grenades, explosives, etc. What more do you need?

Hey Dave...........I feel your pain!

Nice little advert on your homepage too........now lets hope the game lives up to our expectations.

BTW, does your homepage link work here at SimHQ?

Gamers Hell E3 impression:

Gearbox is at it again creating another fine, and frankly moving masterpiece in its new WWII FPS, Brothers In Arms. The game follows the self-narrated experiences of Sgt. Matt Baker as he leads his group of paratroopers through the perils of the European conflict in the 1940s. The crux of the game lies in Matt’s reactions to his situations, and whether he’ll choose to take care of his squad mates, or sacrifice them for the good of his mission.

One could talk about the foggy realism of the world Gearbox has created for the game’s story, or the palpable danger of being in the middle of an attacking German rush. What truly makes Brothers In Arms stand out from many other games of its kind is its immersive storyline (based in real life) and the fact that the FPS action is concatenated with a tactical strategy element.

It seems that very little will be left to chance where the heart of BIA lies. Scenes depicting the trauma and chaos of the situations inherent in war bring the impact home to those that have never had the wartime experience. This is where the magic of BIA shows the most. Something basic is at work in relating this tale, which transcends the specifics of the soldiers and their stories, and attempts to touch the player personally. Expect to see Brothers In Arms in all its glory in the fourth quarter of 2004.

I know, I know.........isn't this a flight sim forum!!!

CONCATENATED!!!!!!!!!!

According to my dikshonery thing...

concatenation n Formal a series of linked events.

But still, that gets my vote for the most preposterous use of a "big word" in simworld for 2004

LOL!

Probably means it was written by a programmer. We use "concatenate" all the time - I'm forever concatenating strings.

Well we learn something new every day!

(Although yesterday I learned nothing actually...)

Go those programmers - ain't no language so arcane it can't be resurrected into kewl k0nt3mp0rary usage

I just hope that Aspect Simulations can concatenate design, development and promotion processes into a tangible end result before WW1 becomes the one before the one before.

S!

I dunno FlyX - I've got to check out my profile for this board to see if the link works (I'll do that after I post this).

During the summer I'll have more time to update the whole site, so hopefully I can get some KoE screenshots in there to replace the Red Baron ones . I still love Red Baron - maybe I should have a little memorial on there for it

Go play this demo Frank http://www.apezone.com/bc.htm

Think "Combat Mission" at sea lite.
