Re: Brothers in Arms
 

Its not just using muskets, though. Are the players wearing the uniforms of the American and British soldiers? Can you relive historic battles such as Bunker Hill?

Besides, just because one fairly old FPS has a mod that uses muskets doesn't mean someone can't come along and make an actual Revolutionary War or Civil War game. It didn't stop everyone from making WWII games when Medal of Honor (was that the first?) did it.

And, uh, I don't actually have a computer. My laptop died...so I'm using my mom's PC...and besides not being able to download anything, the computer isn't exactly "1337" at all.

So... No can do on downloading it...

Bunker Hill is one of the maps. Yes, you are American and British, and yes, you have the costumes. You even have minutemen and foot soldiers.....

The whole point of the game was to reinact the battles of the Revolutionary War.

As far as single player experience goes, I could see a few decent levels spawing from the fights, but you have to take into consideration that the American Revolution was a very simple war. Even the Civil War was pretty simple....although, both wars are unique in their own ways.

Re: Brothers in Arms
 

It depends on how you define "simple." No, they didn't have any of the more technological aspects of modern day war, and there was less guerilla warfare (and stuff like that), but I wouldn't call the wars "simple."

There's no reason the wars wouldn't be entertaining as video agmes if handled right (and several thousand veterans just rolled in their graves...).
