Real soldiers. Authentic battlefields. True combat.
The first two episodes in Gearbox software’s critically acclaimed WWII tactical shooter series combined in one gripping pack.
Gritty, authentic and innovative, Brothers in Arms: Double Time offers the visceral, emotionally charged experience of infantry combat in the Normandy invasion; the battle that changed history.
In June 1944 the 101st Airborne Division, the Screaming Eagles, parachuted behind enemy lines and into France. The hopes of the free world rested on their shoulders. Play as Sergeant Matt Baker or Joe Hartsock, and lead the squad as you balance their lives with the success of the mission.

Immersive and Accurate Simulation
'Brothers-in-Arms' is an excellent simulation of WWII squad level combat. It is not really a shooter though it is listed as such here. It is really a simulation that attempts to duplicate the difficulty of actual WWII combat. Shooting is difficult. You must carefully aim and plan your offensive moves to ensure success. Unlike shooters like 'Call of Duty', this is no gore fest of constantly mowing down the Nazis. One needs to make good use of your fire teams and reconnaissance to beat almost every scenario. BIA is closest to the game 'Close Combat: First to Fight' than other generic shooters and it may be frustrating for some players who are used to video console like shooters. But if you give it a chance, you reward will be to discover what may be the most accurate WWII single player combat simulator out there. Anyone who has actually experienced real combat will recognize the reality of accurately portrayed combat here.
The scenarios are based on real events and places and the developers have kindly included a large amount of background material and photos to support the action. Be sure to look up the unlock codes on the web to see them all.
'Earned in Blood' the second included game, has better user controls than the original game 'Road to Hill 30'. Too bad that Feral didn't do a rewrite for consistency.
