BROTHERS IN ARMS 2 Revealed

[DigiQ8]

Preliminary work on Brothers in Arms 2 is already underway, we can reveal, Gearbox informing us at a press event in London this morning that part of its current European tour will involve research in Belgium for a second game in the series.
"We're working on the sequel," Colonel John Antal, the military adviser brought onboard by Gearbox for Brothers in Arms, told us earlier, before adding that the current plan is to recreate the entire World War II campaign as experienced by the 3rd platoon Fox Company, 502d PIR, the unit that's the subject of the squad-based FPS.

"We're going to follow Sgt. Matt Baker through World War II, I think people are going to want to hear his story," Colonel Antal said.

Mention was made of Operation Market Garden in relation to Brothers in Arms 2 by the Colonel, the operation the logical progression for the series. However, he also spoke of the Battle of the Bulge, Gearbox perhaps considering including both events in the follow-up.

It will no doubt be some time before we hear further word on Brothers in Arms 2, but remember where you read about it first

it would be nice if they finished the first one....first :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

 

[B_MAN]

ummm yeah is the first one even finished?! wtf

Does it matter if the first one is finished? Well since you had to ask you are probaby too dumb to figure it out on your own, so...NO!!! They are doing RESEARCH!!!!! RESEARCH MOTHER ****ER!!! They aren't programming anything, just gathering info. And I bet it is pretty safe to assume they aren't sending out their development team for BIA to do the research.

Meanwhile, Valve software has just announced 'Half-Life 17: Gordon's Battle for Social Security' will be released on...

Common, release the game you are working on before announcing a sequel.

They didn't really announce, they are just trying to get the research done, which will make the second one come out faster.

Too many World War 2 games!. BOOOOORING!

 

[Mac]

there could be a billion ww2 games, if one of them gets it right, you'll be damn sure i'll be playing it (which is to say not many have gotten it 'right')

hopefully brothers in arms will offer a refreshing gameplay element into a tiring genre, and from what i've seen so far, it has.

 

[Kyorisu]

Bring on WW3 games wheeee

 

[CptStern]

we need more ww2 games not less :E
