Brothers in Arms in Nederland.

Brothers in Arms stond al vanaf het eerste deel bekend om zijn realisme. De steden waarin het spel zich afspeelden waren helemaal één op één nagemaakt. Ooggetuigen werden uitgehoord, foto's werden gemaakt en satelliet beelden lagen bij de developers op tafel. Dit is nu weer het geval, maar wat nu helemaal cool is, is het feit dat heel het spel zich in ons land afspeelt! De grootste parachute sprong uit de geschiedenis van de mensheid staat centraal in de game en die was dus in ons eigen kikkerlandje.

Voor de mensen die op hebben gelet bij geschiedenis of toevallig een serie als Band of Brothers hebben gezien: het gaat hierbij om Operation Market Garden! Als je op gelet hebt weet je ook dat deze operatie tot de grootste mislukking van de oorlog gerekend kan worden, maar het is een mooie setting om een game over te maken. Voor ons Nederlanders is het dus extra leuk, aangezien alles één op één nagemaakt is en je dus misschien nog wel bekende plaatsen tegen.
