Brothers in Arms (series): Difference between revisions

* [[Contemplate Our Navels]]: Baker way too much.

** Baker's tendency to navel gaze is lampshaded by several squad members in Earned in Blood, while under fire. Paraphrased here:

* [[Continuity Lock Out]] and [[Late Arrival Spoiler|Late Arrival Spoilers]]: So much of the third game references important events like the deaths of certain characters. Without playing the first two you don't know the exact circumstances surrounding those deaths so it gets rather confusing.

* [[Dead Person Conversation]]: Baker converses with a hallucination/ghost of {{spoiler|Leggett. It may be a ghost because Leggett hints at the location of the next battle. Something a hallucination couldn't do.}}

** '''Red:''' {{spoiler|The only married man in the entire squad get´s his ringfinger blown off.}}

* [[Gallows Humor]]:

'''Allen:''' I don't know but it wasn't old age? }}

* [[Helmets Are Hardly Heroic]]: Dawson doesn't wear a helmet since it interferes with his aim, apparently. Averted by everybody else, given the setting, unless they get shot off in combat without somehow also killing them.

* [[Mission Pack Sequel]]: Earned In Blood. Pretty much the same game play as the first game but played from Red's perspective with new levels. Fans of the original enjoyed the difficulty spike however.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Surprisingly common.

** In the first game Leggett, Allen and Garnett are discussing which super hero is cooler Batman or Superman when mortars start going off around you.

* [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: In the level Objective XYZ, you're tasked with clearing a small french village of German troops with one soldier as back up. This based off an actual [[wikipedia:Harrison C. Summers|event]].

* [[There Are No Therapists]]: A [[Justified Trope]] in Hell's Highway - you're a paratrooper who's deep in enemy territory. Plus, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder was not understood in modern-contexts until after the Vietnam War. And you're in [[World War 2]].

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Allen and Garnett. [[Lampshaded Trope|Lampshaded]] in a Road to Hill 30 cutscene:

** {{spoiler|They even die together.}}

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Allen and Garnett from Road to Hill 30. They're always seen together, but bicker with each other quite a bit.
