"When you die, you go to the "Field Promotion" screen. You can choose from any of your surviving soldiers and take control of him to continue the battle."

BiA scored a 9.0 - aka "Outstanding" in 1UP.com's Review.

"By now, it's readily apparent that Brothers in Arms has usurped just about every WWII fps on consoles to date. This game is an instant redeemer for a genre completely saturated by those who have systematically milked every ounce of respect from military shooter fans."

IGN has posted their review of BiA for XBOX giving it a 9.3 out of 10.

"Wolfenstein, Medal of Honor, Call of Duty... Until today these were the games that defined World War II action on the Xbox. Now you can throw them all away. Not only is Gearbox's Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 the best World War II shooter on the Xbox, it's also one of the best games of any genre for the system."

Hardgamers posted the first known online review of Brothers in Arms and BiA scored a 90%!

Ctrl Alt Del posted a comic featuring Brothers in Arms.

Ubisoft and Gearbox have announced Brothers in Arms has gone gold, details can be found here: here.

The official UK BiA Web site posted snapshots from the first half of Colonel John Antal (US Army retired)'s UK tour. Here's a note from the Colonel himself:

"I am in the UK and have had three very successful days here. Lots of traveling (planes, trains, taxis and by foot) but worth the effort. I'll send a full report later, but in short, two very good days of retail meet-and-greet customers in Birmingham at the Game Stations stores, and a super day today in London briefing the press and showing them the game in the Admiral Quarters of the HMS Belfast."

Since as early as January, Brothers in Arms has been going into the release candidate phase for the various platforms (Xbox, PS2, PC). The game is essentially finished, but the team has been working on the release engineering and details required for a solid, major launch of a AAA game like Brothers in Arms.

Many of you have been visiting our website often over the past several weeks noting the changing work items counter and talking with Gearbox developers on the Gearbox forums. Thank you for your attention. Myself and other Gearbox developers are likely to spend more time on the forums as our launch tasks wrap up, so stop by and say hi.

I would expect a wide press release soon that confirms the release to manufacturing of the gold master for each platform and the final shelf date of the game.

In the mean time, please look around the new Gearbox Software website.

And, thanks for your interest in Brothers in Arms ? the wait is almost over.
