The characters are fictional, but the events and battles they face are drawn from incidents found in the 502nd PIR’s logs in U.S. In this title the player’s character and squad mates are members of the 101st Airborne Division’s 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment. The historical context is both more obvious and compelling in Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood. The characters all feature authentic period uniforms and weapons, and in some cases the battlefields themselves have been taken straight from pictures and maps of WWII battle sites.
