It's the most the F...... stupidest game of all. In authentic mode only in Veteran mode it'S to easy. In Authentic mode when they take off the way you shoot, veteran it's ok but when the take off the way a regular person would shoot, and want to shoot it's STUPID,IMBECILE,RIDICULOUS, Plus those stupid guys hide how many clips you have left and how many grenades you have, The real soldier they don't know how many clips they have left they are STUPID. Come on you guys you are the STUPID guys in that F...... stories.

I loved Brothers in Arms A LOT, but now back to MONTREAL. PLEASE

issue i found was when playing you hide behind wall but when you get up to shoot because you dont get crosshair on screen and you dont get iron sight on rifle you cant shoot. also you cant see which squad you have selected very clearly. im all in favour of things like authentic mode when games over but not when you cant play it.

1.if behind cover using shoulder button you should get crosshair to aim.
2.know which squad is selected.
3.ammo count is bit hit and miss in red october you dont get told how much you have left for example.

you guys are a bunch of panzies, play the game thike a real soldier would, the reason why they dont have crosshairs in Authentic mode is because in real life you can't go in third person and pop out of cover and have a crosshair pop up, you have to feel where the bullet is going, you have to be the bullet, also with the squad its easy let them fire at whoever they want and flank them but use cover
and then with the ammo counter, you should be able to hold a button and your ammo belt pops up on the screen like in Resistance and liberation

hmmm, i have almost beating the game in authentic, so it must be you. you just have to be careful. use your D pad to select your teams so you know for sure who is selected before issuing fire or move orders. ALWAYS move your teams from cover to cover. take your time.

while dug in, if you have a shot on the enemy, pop off of cover, aim down the site instantly, squeeze two or three shots off, then grab cover, NEVER, expose yourself for more than a few shots, or, you will die sooner if not later. know your weapons ammo capacity, and count at all times. if you squeeze off two or three shots at a time, you should always know about how much ammo you have in your magizine. (ever had a clear shot on an enemy, you shoot, but instead of the weapon firing, you are reloading instead, while the enemy is pouring rounds into you with his MP40, as you fall to the ground dying.)

turn the red threat off for any difficulty, it adds a "pucker" factor! lol.

Well that's a bit of a problem, Factor76, to have to pop off cover to shoot... It's actually like not using the whole new cover system, which is a bit strange as it's one of the new gameplay elements of this episode.
I played a bit through Authentic mode and can't help but think it was a quickly added feature. Removing all the interface just to make a game more difficult doesn't make much sense... we can poke one of our eyes out, it would work too
Aiming in 3rd personn without the crossair is doable at short range, but at long range it's near impossible as you can't see where your bullets land. And it's not about realism, in real life, a soldier's sight doesn't go out of his body when he takes cover...

im affraid my friend in a war you would be first in the body bag, you cant fire a m1 rifle by holding and just firing and expect to hit anything.

i use the 3rd person cover system very effectivly. (love it). what i do is, if i dont use one of my squads to flank, is work around cover such as a stone wall till i get to a flanking postion, find a low point in the wall, or opening, go back to first person view, aim, shoot two or three shots, and instantly go back to cover.

you can also use your command interface to aim at enemy while in 3rd person cover. order a suppress on the enemy you want to kill or suppress, and the red icon stays for about two seconds where a cross hair would be. gets you in the ballpark anyways. anyways, good luck!

btw, this game is awesome in authentic with no HUD at all. gets your heart racin! lol

ROFL at the arm chair general... You have to aim, you're not using the force...

My problem is on Authentic you should beable to look down the iron sight when your dug in because its ridiculous. I really have to wonder what took this game so long to come out because I'm tired of making excuses for my friends who question the game I'm a diehard BIA fan and...I feel betrayed. In b4 its not COD4 because I know, Its suppose to be BIA not Rainbow Six.

there's already a relevant topic at the top of the forum....please stop cluttering up the place with similar threads.

GEARBOX....I ORDER YOU : PUT BACK THE IRON SIGHTS WHEN WE ARE IN COVER,PERIOD

The way it is now, it's simply ridiculous.

bad loser just because you cant complete it you end up crying like a baby

im happy without the cross hair and doesn't bother me how long it takes to complete it thats why people call it a challenge!

yes you can play it but you cant use one of the main idea's of the game which does make it pretty stupid. be intresting to see how many finish it on auth and how many reloads of game they had to do to get there.

You are completly right submarinex1 but we are all forgeting something: WE HAVE TO SHOOT ONLY WHEN THEY(The Fritz's)SPEEK...
Because, back in WWII the Americans have a secret weapon, and that was the famous "accent guided bullets"...They speek, and....bang!!! the bullet goes right in to their mousses,bending corners and all sorts of cover...HAHAHAHAHAH

Come on guys, get real, the general idea of the "authentic mode" its great but was not correctly implemented in that detail "not be able to aim when in cover"
Forget the crosshair, its not supposed to exist in real life, and thats ok with me,period
But as some one as said before : The sights does not disappear in a real life gun, daaaahhhh
We are still able to aim even if we are shoting with our feet....

Tranceraverjay, i didn't said that i dont finish the game in authentyc..i havent done it yet, but im trying and im gone get'it..

And if you think that´s why they call it a challenge...why dont you finish the game with one hand tyed behind your back...it's even a bigger challenge dont you think...

I disagree with both of you.

For starters, the problem is more with the cover system than Authentic Mode itself. The cover system was a silly casual-friendly feature implemented to make the game more marketable to fans of gears of war. I don't think it ever had much place in the BIA series, except for the fact that it makes it easier to order your squad where you want to (which compensates for the fact that in real life you don't have to aim a command ring somewhere to tell a guy where to go).

Before I even unlocked authentic mode I turned off the crosshairs because that's the way the game should be played. Anyone who has to use a silly magic cover system to spot their enemies and aim at them without exposing themselves is a pansy and shouldn't be playing BIA. In real life, success in a firefight is entirely hinged on your ability to maintain situational awareness and aim while exposed to fire. Take out the 'exposed to fire' part, and you have a silly fantasy arcade game; you might as well be playing Duck Hunt.

So as far as I'm concerned, the entire cover system should be disabled in authentic, but because pf flawed way the cover system was implemented, you can't completely duck behind most cover without it. If you crouch, your head's still sticking out. Therefore you're forced to use the cover system even if you don't want to. Furthermore, the problem with missing crosshairs preventing you from aiming while using the cover system could have easily been prevented by allowing you to go into IS mode from the cover system while raised up. Killswitch (the original cover system game) did this and it worked perfectly.

But in conclusion, they should have replaced the cover system with a http://dslyecxi.com/bestoftactical.html#I fluid stance system.

My main problem with authentic was the lack of any indication of which team you're ordering once the team indicators are pulled out. If they had just had Baker shout the name of the team leader you're ordering when you press B to switch teams, it would have alleviated the problem. Whenever you weren't sure which team you were ordering, you hit B, he says "Jas" or "Corrion" and then you know which team and then you give them the order. Instead even if you pay close attention you still forget which team you've got selected during combat, and you end up ordering the wrong team, which often results in that team getting killed as they run out in the open through a path you never would have been crazy enough to send them through.

first people are complaining because it was too easy, now its because its too hard. when will people realise its just a game and not a compatition
