“Pros: Fun gameplay, squad mechanics are unique to the game, the story isn't very long. Cons: The games age shows. Enemy hit boxes are very inconsistent. When fighting tanks I watched my rockets fly through the tracks…”

“Best game Gearbox has ever made. Only issue is graphical glitches on modern hardware, which are not really the games fault. It holds up incredibly well today. It's kind of Rainbow Six meets Classic Call of Duty (not the…”

— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Bought this because it was on sale. Turned out to be one of the best WW2 FPS games I've ever played”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I want to start with a warning: since I’ve played the Brothers in Arms series before, nostalgia will definitely play a role here.
