It's bad enough that this vehicle can deposit a half-dozen infantry on the spot but the addition of a large machine gun mounted on the top makes it almost unbearable. You'll have to be particularly careful in the hedgerows for instance thanks to the presence of an enemy halftrack.
Nevermind the fact that they have more soldiers than we do, do they actually need armored vehicles as well? Apparently so.
You can't afford to let any of the enemies have any breathing room at all this time because they'll take advantage of it and shoot you in the ass before you know it.Įven if they don't manage to take you out by superior tactics, the Germans also have a considerable material advantage as well. It makes for some frantic moments and really forces you to think about your tactics. Imagine heading off to flank an enemy and finding two or three of them rounding the corner coming the other direction hoping to flank you. Whether it's an uncovered alley or a careless hole you've blown in a hedgerow, enemies will take advantage of every avenue of approach. Unless an enemy is pinned down by one of your fire teams, you can count on them maneuvering around the flanks. We saw several instances of this during the game. Instead of crouching behind cover and hoping you'll step out into the open, enemies will actively try to get around behind you. In fact, the enemies have learned the lessons you taught them in the first game a little too well. While the overall layout of the levels and positioning of enemies in the first game made for some tense moments, you're going to find yourself even more on edge this time around because the enemies aren't going to be staying put. This newfound mobility of the enemy troops is the second big surprise in store for veteran players. Though there's still a general path through the level, you'll find you're much more in charge now of how you get from point A to point B. This allows you to sort of pick your path through the maze of hedges, opening up new paths that your troops (and those of your enemy) can use to get around. First, there are a number of breaks in each hedgerow that you can breach with TNT charges. While the basic mechanics of play are still compelling, Earned in Blood adds a few new features that are sure to please fans. A greater number of missions are now set in more urban locations as well, so you can expect to do a lot of city fighting - racing down streets, clearing houses and ducking in and out of alleys. After exploring a bit, you'll notice that the new maps in Earned in Blood are considerably larger than those in Road to Hill 30. From here you'll enter the maze of hedgerows that contain your enemy. This level starts of relatively open you and your squad will have to advance along a broad front across a flat field. Your job is to hunt down the enemy in these hedgerows before they can mount their own attack. The enemy has gathered in these hedgerows and are getting ready to move in and take the town. This new mission takes place mostly out amid the hedgerows outside of Baupte, France. It also showcases some of the "crazy new gameplay" that's being incorporated in the game. Taking place relatively late in the game, nine days after D-Day to be exact, this particular level is a bit more challenging than some of the earlier levels. The first mission we saw was Hedgerow Hell. These small connections between the first game and the new one are sure to please fans. He stopped across the street and shouted to us to keep going before dashing off with his own squad. During one mission, we even ran into Baker. But though the time frame is the same, you'll be seeing another side of the action as you take charge of Hartsock.
About one-fourth of Earned in Blood's content will overlap the missions from Road to Hill 30. Though Baker and Hartsock's paths intersected frequently during the invasion, they often took alternate paths, splitting up right at the start of a mission and linking up only at the end. Fans of the first game will remember him popping in and out of Matt Baker's story. This time around you'll be playing as Hartsock. The missions in both the original game and the upcoming sequel are all based on the real-life exploits of the 101st Airborne as they fought their way through D-Day. As Sergeant Matt Baker, you'd lead your squadmates through the countryside and the small hamlets of northern France, fighting German soldiers every step of the way. For those that don't know much about the first game, Brothers in Arms tells the story of a squad of paratroopers in Normandy.
