How historicly accurate is this game?
So I have been playing Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood and I notice the awesome story it tells but I wanted to know. Is this game historicly accurate?

The Brothers In Arms game SERIES is historically accurate, IN THAT, photos were taken of actual battle zones and locations (2003/4? visit to Normandy by the game developers for the SOLE purpose of adding HISTORICAL locations to the game) and then ported into the game and made to look more authentic in game by using ORIGINAL photos taken in June 1944 to get the look and feel of June 1944. Original maps from 1944 AND battle/recon reports were used, local residents (survivors of the conflict) were spoken to regarding the area....... Historians (that's a clue to how historically accurate it is) were contacted.
I'm personally struggling with your comment that it isn't historically accurate and it is Hollywood...., unless of course Hollywood wrote The Second World War and in which case you would be 100% accurate, but the last time I checked Hollywood didn't write The Second World War, it was a Historical Event, so your totally inaccurate in your observations of it being Hollywood.
The ONLY part that Hollywood does play in this game is the pre battle cut scenes, they do look a bit like they were pretty similar to the start and cut scenes of Brothers In Arms the TV programme...., but that don't make it Hollywood does it LOL :steammocking:

Not really, a lot of it's based off Hollywood. They took some real stories and used them in-game (like in the extras), but that's kind of it. Hell's Highway doesn't really try to be historically accurate though, it's barely even a tactical shooter with regenerating health.

Iaff, thats a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insult to the people who made the game, have you even played the game?

A lot of the in game rewards were storys on how they made it.

I wouldn't take the game as historical source material, the characters are fictional, except for the Battalion and Regimental officers. The locations and actions are however the only thing in this game that are truly accurate. Its most likely just trying to cover the key actions that were executed by the 101st Airborne during the Battle of Normandy. Replacing the actual men who fought those actions with the game's fictional characters. Either way, I am not bothered by that at all.

You can't even make it through one post without swearing and being disrespectful. I don't even know why you're so upset either, I'm just stating facts. Why don't you try growing up and stop acting like a petulant child for once.

All you do is fanboy this game and swear at people who don't agree with you and now you're getting all defensive and offended over me calling you out on it? If you need a safe space from people saying this game isn't that historically accurate, then you should get off the internet. It's a video game, not a history book or action report/review.

Still swearing and being disrespectful, as you were in your first comment towards me. You're even dodging filters now to swear at me, how pathetic. You didn't even fully read my first comment before lashing out and I'm not surprised that you're still failing to comprehend my posts.

So, kinda confused. I just wanted to know if the people were real and the storys not the locations which I know are real.

From what I can find out BIA is considerd one of the most historicaly accurate FPS ever made, the characters in the game were inspired by real people and they tried to get what you experience as close to what the soilders would of gone through at the time and the battles they fought without comprimising the game play.

For example Road to hill 30 was based on the 502nd paracute infantry regiment and mission Albany.

If you goto the wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_in_Arms:_Road_to_Hill_30 and look up development it will tell you what they did to make the game.

Altough its not a sim or a renactment they went far beyond what they needed to to get this game to where it is which is why i get pisse d off when people like laff come on and say any old ♥♥♥♥ like its based on holywood and clearly havnt got a clue what they are talking about.

Im going to sound old here but without these games being made and in such detail I think the past couple of generations would know a lot less about 2 of the biggest wars the world has ever seen that have shaped how we live now and cost millions of lives.
