Everyone else will want to avoid D-Day because of its rehashed gameplay and poor controls, which make the game feel like just another console-to-PSP hack job where the makers of the game were just trying to make a quick buck. Hey, when did Harry Potter leave Hogwarts and join the Army? If you've played the Brothers in Arms games before, D-Day will feel very familiar because it's essentially content from previous games remixed into a "new" game.
You control Matt Baker and Joe Hartsock as they lead their squad, your "brothers in arms," through the French countryside. What was once an interesting and sometimes touching story on consoles is a mess here. If you've never played any of the other games before you're not likely to care about any of your squadmates, and it's hard to figure out just who is who. D-Day's missions are culled from the previous two Brothers in Arms games, and while there are some changes here and there, anyone who has played the games before will have little trouble getting through them.
Like in Call of Duty, you don't have a health bar, but you can die if you don't seek shelter to recover after getting shot. The levels aren't particularly long, and the game uses a checkpoint system, so you don't have to play an entire level over if you die A skirmish mode is available for both single and co-op play ad hoc only.
There's really not much to it--you kill as many guys as you can, or try to survive as long as possible. If you're really looking for a challenge you can try to complete all 12 of the skirmish missions with just one life. It's tough enough to get a first-person shooter to control reasonably well on the PSP, but Brothers in Arms has the additional challenge of being a squad-based first-person shooter, so in addition to controlling your soldier, you've got other people to lead.
There are two control schemes available, but neither one is ideal. Since the face buttons are used in the default scheme to give orders, raise your weapon, and toss grenades which are completely worthless , there's no easy way to look around. The advanced controls allow you to easily look left and right by pressing the square and circle buttons, which is nice but creates other button-mapping problems.
The controls really get convoluted when you start ordering other soldiers to take a position or give cover fire. You'll need to hold a button down, move the target, and then release the button to issue the order. Canceling said order involves yet another button press. This may seem manageable, and it is when you're not getting shot at, but when you're under fire, it's tough to issue orders.
Experienced or not, you won't be running and gunning your way through any of the missions. You'll want to locate the enemy, get your squad in place so that they can unleash suppressing fire, and then find a way to flank your target while it's distracted by your team. Getting cover fire is very important because it not only gets the bad guy's attention off of you, it makes them less accurate and easier to kill, too. The game makes it easy to tell who is being suppressed by replacing the red "health" circle that's normally over a soldier with a grey one.
Using the "situational awareness view" is also an integral part of making it through levels unscathed. Pressing select zooms the camera out, giving you a bird's-eye view of your surroundings.
Here you can find the locations of both your fellow soldiers and the enemy. It's a good thing, too, since it's often the only way to figure out the location of the person who's shooting at you. Direct confrontations are rare, which is a blessing for a number of reasons: your soldier moves very slowly; unless your weapon is raised, there's a pretty good chance you won't hit your target; it's difficult to aim, especially when on the run; and enemies are frequently impervious to bullets, particularly when they're reloading their weapons.
Though they were given the ability to shrug off bullets, enemy soldiers weren't blessed with much intelligence--they're frequently oblivious to your attack, and they seldom use anything even resembling advanced tactics, though they will make the occasional mad dash toward you.
In the first part, we will look at the general aspects of the game, since completion of the first chapter is rather short. This message will self-destruct shortly. There is quite a variety of World War 2 weapons available in the game, although some are rare like the M and will likely be mission specific.
Depending on your style, i. M Browning — This will be the first weapon to be issued to you, in the real missions, since you will be stripped of all your gear. Once equipped you carry 11 rounds of 8 clips, with one in chamber. Walther P38 — The pistol used by the Jerries in game, instead of the Luger known for its distinctive breechblock mechanism. The P38 is rather more accurate than the Browning at medium distances and the ammunition is the same. You are not likely to encounter this gun early on, as the belligerents use rifles instead.
M1 Carbine — The M1 is a decent weapon, with good accuracy and high damage at short to medium ranges. Not as good as the Garand, which I highly prefer for picking off enemies, but still a good rifle particularly if you use it when flanking from a distance, and the enemy is exposed.
Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz — The Karabiner 98K is a very good bolt-action rifle, both in terms of accuracy and damage.
