Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 abandoned?

Although I love historically accurate and realistic WWII video games, I don't think that means we have to eliminate any game that takes "creative liberties" in order to offer a mindless, purely entertainment based shooter. WWII is such a FUN setting. I agree that they should drop "Brothers In Arms" from the title, but why is there such animosity toward the game itself? If you only like serious dramatic and story driven shooters that's fine. But I don't think its fair to assume that it is the way everyone feels or that it is the way everyone SHOULD feel. I don't see anything wrong with a WWII game that isn't realistic or historically accurate. I am not using video games to learn history anyway.

Maan..I really love all BIA games...from RTH 30 to Hell's Highway...but now..this title ruined everything....there were funny and sad moments...but this is too much...from a great history fps they turned this into WWE or teken and stuff like that.....C'mon guys please don't make something like this...Continue the story from BIA Hell's Highway....Baker told Legget that he can handle the war in winter....that's where this story must continue!Please do it....don't make anything like this stupid Furious 4...this is NOT BIA we love....THIS IS NOT Fantastic 4!!! WE WANT OUR BIA BACK!!!!!

Please!! make a New sequal on BiA Battle of the Bulge, not a ridiculous four dumb army beat up the nazi from the Movie "Inglourious Basterds".

yeah there is already Borderlands 2 no need For Borderlands WWII

Good! When details of this were first released at e3 last year i posted on gamespots comments page about the game for people to boycott this game, right down to video reveals and gameplay footage. My reasoning behind this was that if no body showed any interest in this pile of steaming horse manure then gear box would dump it asap.......Why? so we can get the BIA game we really want, ie Bakers and Hartsocks story. BIA HH gave us a teaser that the next game would be set during the Battle of the Bulge and leading up to the invasion of Germany. Thats the one we want Gearbox.....Not inglorious basterds the game, or from footage i've seen, Left4dead WWII!

I hope they scrapped it entirely, the premise sounded way too ridiculous for me. I like realistic WWII games.

I agree that the game does look like a slap in the face to us BiA fans. Unfortunately, the last entry in the series was a good game, but didn't sell very well (as I recall), so they are likely trying to mix things up and reinvent it all with this game. Also, I remember a couple of years ago there was a lot of criticism from game magazines, etc., that there were TOO many WW 2 games out. Something I never personally agreed with .... And the last BiA came out about at that time.

The game looks stupid no way going to sell.

The Game looks stiupid , Hells high is better in many ways

Unfortunately it looks like they aren't actually abandoning this slap in the face to BiA fans, form the update it looks like just some legal hair-splitting. Shame, I agree with everyone else, in fact I would go further, give us another BiA that takes the gameplay back to what it was in Earned in Blood, no stupid solo missions, no jarring third person cover system, and deargod no tanks. Give us back our fastidiously historical FPS/RTS hybrid!

Eh. I'm sure the game itself will be fine, but the title was nothing special. Good to see it wasn't canceled anyway.

Good move!

it looked and sounded abit corny and i think they realized it

well one less army related game no loss in the gaming community

this games whole idea sucked @$$, i dont give a crapp about 4 dudes, i want to know about Baker and his squad

Brothers in Arms is story driven game about how some characters  live is WAR and  when i finished Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway they said TO BE CONTINUE...

athis game should change name title to Furious 4 

That's fine with me, I had never heard of the game prior to this so no major loss.

:D

Well that is EXCELLENT news!,Best I have heard all year.

I know people on here going to h8 me that i think they should can the game. Reason for it doent look a world war game and its playing silly and it doent fit in the series. I think they should just leavr it alone and saver there money. Im 100% sure not going to sale.

hope it's a name change, cos "Furious 4" is pretty terrible

Really Missed the WW2 theme in shooters after all the Modern Shooters  :D

soooo glad they abandoned this ludicris idea,  we already have hundreds and HUNDREDS of ww2 based fps games,  and while i really liked the brothers in arms series *hells highway still being one of my favorite fps games*  we don't need another ww2 game,  seriously this idea has been done into the ground an then some!   NO MORE WW2 GAMES!!!

I love the Brother in Arms series, and I am interested in this game however I want BIA 4.

Though I do hope this one is not canceled because I thought it looked interesting.

Another military shooting game... ugh. Please no.

Looks like a fun game to me. Just because they change the formula doesn't mean it won't be a good game. It just might not be for everybody.

I really hope this means they've seen sense and returned to the proper BIA games.

Think people on here to need to chill. I actually think it looks quite fun. Maybe not your run of the  mill Brothers in Arms game, but still looks like it could have been a fun.

Glad that's being scrapped (if it is). I agree with others. Go to the Battle of the Bulge, and what they can do is have Baker (while freezing his rearend off in a foxhole) think back to the epic Normandy Battles with Allen, Desola, Garnett etc and all the rest and bring the Normandy jump and those battles to the newer consoles. So we could have the battles in snow during the Bulge, and at the same time, Normandy (to at least mix it up). So many possibilities. Anyway, i hope they do because this Modern War Genre is boring me to tears. I'm actually buying Dragons Dogma over GRAW Future Soldier. Sad.

WTH is going on?

First: I'm sad to see this title shelved (for now), the BoA/WW2 genre is stale and this franchise needs a serious "Kick in the ass" to get it back on the right path.

Second: For all the fanboys/haters/35 yr old virgins commenting on this:I'd love to see a Borderlands/Inglorious Bastards/Kellys Heroes  take on the genre. This title reminded me of the Commandos series of games from the 90's, a game that played w/ WW2, but wasnt all about historical accuracy..Theres plenty of stories (real/fictional) that can be told or have been told about that era. Here's hoping randy and the gearbox team take this on properly after BL2 is released..

this is such a non-story.  For those who understand the Trademark system in America, this really is nothing, yet it's a story on just about every game website.  At least you guys didn't say "expired" like joystick... not even something that happens....

Were this abomination not any way tied to the BOF franchise I wouldnt have given any thoughts to it . Seriously the game looked like Borderlands mixed with Inglorious Bastards . The game was casualized to hell to appeal to people who didnt like BOF previous Tactical Gameplay. I am very happy this thing got canned.
