Project Background:
The Brothers in Arms series was developed by Ubisoft for PC and console starting in 2005. The series is a First Person Strategy where you play a squad - leader in The Second World War. While playing the multiplayer of the first game Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, I realized that the game needed a graphic update, and thus the "Brothers in Arms Mod was born.
Project Overview:
Squad-Leader based gameplay, where each player is given command of a squad of AI characters that can be controlled by the player. The squad can then be moved to a specific location or follow the player. The player(s) is tasked with completing the objectives of the mission which are either set by the level or voted on when the game starts. If the number of players is odd, then a squad of AI will spawn and control themselves to help complete the objective.
