Along with two other games.

I just hope this doesn't end up being sloppy like Far cry (yes I have played it) and seeing as how this won't be pushed as a launch title maby it won't. Anyone played a Brothers in arms game? Are they any good? Should I be excited at all?

It is a pretty good game having played it on a PC. It feels like Full Spectrum Warrior, but far more involed. I found it alot more fun than their more modern counterparts like GRAW since that just ends up more of a spary and pray mess. The AI is also better than FSW, both friendly and OPFOR.

I'm actually pondering owning every FPS game on the Wii... this is so weird, I suck at FPS games!

Avoid Far Cry, it's aiming is ok, but it's framerate makes you feel like your playing a PC game on a computer that can't handle it's graphics. Plus it also has trouble telling whether you want to zoom in or whenther you want to slash your knife, which for me killed it because melee attacking is such a big part of the game (since it raises your preditor meter).

Hahahahaha! I LOVED Farcry!

To be honest, after the initial shock of the graphics and framerate of farcry, it is not a bad game. I found myself forgetting all about the graphics because I was having a lot of fun. Anyways, this is great news! I'm hoping they arn't terrible ports. Gotta love the 3rd party support so far for the wii.

I didn't care for brothers in arms on PC. I don't like ordering your team around. I would rather the other dudes just do what they want and i'll take care of all the bad guys Rambo-style. I still kinda want to play farcry

The thing about far cry was when i played it, it had trouble telling whether i was slashing with my knife or zooming in, and since slashing brought up your predtor metor i did it a lot and it just wasn't smooth enough for me.
The graphics didn't bother me but the framerate was just too much to deal with.

Hopefully tey're able to add some kind of online play.

Ok my opinion on far cry has changed. I was really enjoying the game until i got to a part where it would freeze no matter what I did. I returned my rental and picked up trauma center instead. Good game if it was not for that freezing glitch

You can "Rambo" it, but it is really hard if not near impossible. I enjoyed it alot due to the fact it was like a thinking mans FPS. Having to think a little in a FPS is a rarity. Never the less, it doesn't stop me from enjoying a good blastfest. You went into the game with the wrong idea as to what it was trying to archive. By making you interact often with your team mates to reach a goal that would otherwise been impossible deepens your relationship with them. Having the game based on actual engaugments didn't hurt either.

Having played this on PC though, I have little reason to buy this unless it is a relatively new game.

The first Brothers in Arms game on Hugebox is one of the greatest FPS games I've ever played, although I never did seriously bother with the whole managing the squad thing. They'd never actually be of any use anyway. IT'S ALL UP TO ME. The sequel was extremely rushed though. Kinda looking forward to this~

ryancoke · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2007, 02:21:23 AM »

The team aspect of Brothers In Arms just doesn't appeal to me. I would rather play an FPS with a team of bots where it doesn't matter if they die. Kinda like in Half Life 2. The teams in BIA need to be babysat.

The whole Rambo thing is pretty much covered in the vast majority of FPS games.

I welcome more squad-based games cuz they involve more interesting challenges: strategy and leadership.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2007, 05:33:18 AM »

If I want to lead a Squad, I'll play Pikmin, thankyouverymuch.

(Bad experiences with old Ghost Recon and SWAT games)

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2007, 06:40:30 AM »

ahahahahhhaahah

then you should completely avoid BWii.

(if you meant the original Ghost Recon PC games, and not the console stuff, it's understandable. The console games, are simply insulting).

The visuals on this game look like an XBOX game...look at those blades of grass.

Oh yeah, I'm looking at the images on my new Nintendo Power magazine that just came through the mail. Visuals look nice. Hopefully, they follow through with the co-op mode and maybe even...online CO-OP!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2007, 07:21:52 AM »

Naaaah.

they'll say "we are using Friend Co-- FORGET IT, LET'S AXE ONLINE AND SAVE US 3 MONTHS OF DEVELOPMENT! GOTTA PORT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!"

ShyGuy · « **Reply #17 on:** February 24, 2008, 10:49:44 AM »

Since Brothers in Arms is now scheduled to come out in June 08, and development for the game was started around August 06, Do we dare hope that this extended time means game was/is going to be graphically upgraded, have the multiplayer added back in, or (hopefully) both?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #18 on:** February 24, 2008, 10:59:48 AM »

No. Do not dare.

Caliban · « **Reply #19 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:52:31 AM »

Isn't this game from the same team that is (re)making... porting Samba de Amigo for Wii? If so then an answer has been found for such a delay, or they're just lazy I guess.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #20 on:** February 25, 2008, 02:58:48 PM »

BiA cancelled in favor of Sega's musik monkey? OK

non-games were the better investment from the start. Good for the dev.
