![]() ![]() I’m all for war strategy games and first-person shooters, but I found myself a little bored with this one after a short period of time. Regardless, get ready to be bored for a larger amount of time than necessary. I should note that the load times are between missions, and not within the actual missions themselves. I understand it takes a little more time when the graphics and voiceovers are as good as they are, but this really was unacceptable. Earned in Blood takes forever to load, which definitely deters the gameplay. However, something not so easy to deal with is the loading time. Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood also makes your missions a little easier with auto-save checkpoints. Once you learn the controller configuration, it’s very ease to command your squad. This is where you complete American and German missions with one life and one squad, sans checkpoints and saves. The Skirmish types include games like objective based missions, a timed assault, defensive stands, and a Tour of Duty. Other than the Story mode, Earned in Blood also offers system link and Xbox Live game modes and Skirmish games. gives you a bird’s eye view of exactly where your opponents are, which gives you the time to prepare the best strategy of trapping them within their surroundings. At any point during the game, you can use this feature to help plan your attack. Paratroopers during WWII had to study their surroundings before they went into combat that’s where the Situational Awareness View comes into play. Of course, you’ll need to know the layout of the land. Once the color has changed, you or another part of your squad can flank in for the kill. The Suppression Indicator changes color when the enemy is pinned down and unable to return fire. You then must place your troops so that they can keep your enemy under fire. Once you see where your enemies are, a target pops up above their position. Regarding the Story mode, there are two helpful tools to help you make it through the German-invested missions. Perhaps if suppressing were just part of Brothers in Arms, and not the featured strategy, I’d be more inclined to keep coming back to play. However, I’m not sure it makes for the most exciting of video games. By no means am I downplaying this important role in the D-Day invasion. While you’ll get better weapons along the way, your missions tend to become the same thing over and over. You must strategically suppress your enemies, giving you the ability to flank your squad into a position to kill German soldiers. The name of the game in Earned in Blood is suppression. However, it’s a matter of whether you’ll really want to go through his story. Your character recounts the heroic events, which you help tell by completing your missions. You must earn your stripes in Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood as Cpl. ![]()
