Brothers In Arms 2 Pc

[Roxanna Bornemann]

Thoughbrothers in arms originated as a means to show the unique bond between those who serve together, by at least the 1980s it was being used for strong bonds between civilian men forged by some shared experience. The expression may have expanded due to popular use for the many men who fought in World War I and World War II.

Brothers in arms has also notably lent itself to popular media. British rock band Dire Straits named a 1985 album and title track Brothers in Arms, which often plays at military funerals. First launched in 2005, Brothers in Arms is also the name of a World War II-based first-person shooter video-game series. Several novels and movies have also featured brothers in arms in their titles.

Though brothers in arms is more popular, a variant, sisters in arms, has also been used in much the same way since 1910, around the time when women were allowed to serve, though initially in non-combatant capacities.

This is not meant to be a formal definition of brothers in arms like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of brothers in arms that will help our users expand their word mastery.

Matthew Baker was the son of Colonel Joseph and Julia Baker and was born in Fort Benning, Georgia on February 22, 1921. His parents separated Matt was young. On the day he left, Joseph presented Matt with a custom made, nickel plated, Colt M1911 inscribed "To Matthew: Brothers in Arms". Julia came from a wealthy family and military life did not agree with her, so Matt had to give it back to his father.

Colonel Joseph Baker continued to be assigned around the US Army posts in the US, Panama, and China. Matt only communicated with his father on rare visits and through letters. Baker grew up with his mother in St. Louis, Missouri during the Great Depression.

When Matt was at High School, he became close friends with George Risner. They both graduated from high school in 1941 and enlisted in the US Army on June 9, 1942, the day after they graduated from high school. Matt then took the Colt M1911 pistol back from his father, and took it to war with him.

They went through basic training together and both wanted to join the paratroopers. Unfortunately, George broke his leg in basic training and was put into another training class. Matt volunteered for the paratroopers and trained at Fort Benning, Georgia. He was assigned to the 3rd Squad of the 3rd Platoon of Fox Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 502nd Parachute Infantry of the 101st Airborne division, two weeks before D-Day.

Sergeant Saunderson, the squad leader of 3rd Squad broke his leg in a practice parachute jump and Platoon Sergeant; Greg "Mac" Hassay (who knew Baker's father) promoted Corporal Matt Baker to Sergeant and placed him in charge of the 3rd squad.

On June 6, 1944, Baker and his squad parachuted into Normandy. However, as his squad was waiting for the green light to begin the jump, the C-47 was hit by FLaK, killing Private Muzza (3rd Squad's first casualty) and knocking Baker out of the plane. In his first near- death experience, Baker was able to deploy his parachute and landed safely. After he found the nearest road he found "Mac" Hassay and fought with him for most of D-Day.

Throughout the campaign, Baker leads his squad through various battles that claim the lives of most soldiers in 3rd Squad, including the capture of Objective XYZ and of Vierville, Purple Heart Lane, Cole's Charge, the Battle of Carentan, and the defense of Hill 30 on the outskirts of Carentan. To read about Baker's story throughout the game, visit the articles on the levels of Road To Hill 30. .

During the battle on Hill 30, Baker was knocked to the ground by a tank shell and a piece of shrapnel from the explosion left a prominent scar on his forehead. Whilst the other soldiers were fighting, Baker managed to contact the tanks and bring them back to the battle, going round the back and wiping out the German forces. He and the remaining members of the squad went back to Carentan, Baker carrying the dead body of a fellow soldier, Kevin Leggett. He is then present outside Carentan Cathedral where the promotions take place, and where it was cut short by German mortar fire.

Baker appears as a supporting role in Earned In Blood, and he guides and helps Hartsock throughout Carentan. Baker is first seen during "Three Patrol Action". Afterwards, Baker appears at the end when Baker and Hartsock tell their stories to Army historian Col. S.L.A. Marshall.

Baker is again the protagonist in Hell's Highway. After Normandy, Baker's platoon is folded into a brand new Reconnaissance platoon. The recon platoon relies on their jeeps for fast movement through the battlefields to recon and harass enemy positions. The squad is broken up to two teams assigned into jeeps.

Baker is now suffering from too much guilt, and is seeing ghosts of his dead squad members that are haunting him, mostly Leggett. He is then forced by Dawson to tell his men that he knew what had happened to Allen and Garnett in Normandy. The men almost lose their trust in Baker, but after a speech he gives in the final cutscene, all except Corrion, stand by him. Baker also seems to finally have enough with the rumors about his supposed "cursed" pistol and throws it into the woods during his final speech in the game, declaring, "It's just a goddamn gun!"

Baker is usually known as a quiet and reserved man as he usually kept his thought to his own as seen in each chapter intro. He also not confident in his own skill as he 'never asked to be a squad leader'. He also shown to be caring of his own men as he wishes no one in his squad to be killed and treated them as friends and brothers instead of soldier-officer relationship, this partially due to his lack of friends except George when he was a child and his father left him in an age of 8. However, this caused a great emotional pain when one of his squadmates gets killed and felt guilty for not doing anything as seen when Allen & Garnett died during 'Buying the Farm' chapter.

He is also a very brave person as he willing to deal with his enemies alone as he took down a Panzer in St. Come, he charged at mortar team in Foucarville or he enter the church to confront the sniper personally in Leishout.

Despite being a Sergeant, he also shown to have poor decision making when comes to dealing with his own soldiers as seen with his failure to get Franky back in The Rabbit Hole chapter. One of the infamous example is when ask Leggett not to tell what happened to Allen & Garnett's death which ultimately led to Leggett's suicide and Corrion's distrust of Baker when the truth is revealed during Operation Market Garden.

I understand that this is not an exhaustive list but I do believe these points are some of the most important aspects to team success. With that said, I did leave out one extremely important aspect on purpose because I wanted to focus on it right now.

I encourage you seek out those brothers-in-arms that you can stand next to. The ones who challenge you to bring about positive change. And secondly, be sure to be trustworthy yourself so that you too can be considered a brother-in-arms.

Remember that time last March when you and your squad fought the Nazis in France in Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30? How about seven months later, when you pretty much did the same thing in Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood? Do you want to do it over again, but this time with controls ill-suited for the task? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then Brothers in Arms D-Day for the PlayStation Portable is for you. 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.

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.
