ShackNews has Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford in the hot seat this evening, answering questions regarding their upcoming tactical shooter, Brothers In Arms. They chat about squad management, vehicles and a whole lot more! uNF:

Shack: What sort of weapons will the squad get to use
Randy Pitchford: All of them. The fire team is mostly equipped with M1's. But Cpl. Hartsock will pick up a BAR after you link up with the gliders at 2000 hours on D-Day. The Assault team is mixed with Cpl. Corrion's Thompson and the rest of the team with Carbines. We allow the player to carry two weapons as you'll tend to want to switch off from a fire support role to an assault role.
Of course, you can pick up any weapon you want from the battlefield. Even the German ones. There are a few units that have the STG-44 - quite nice if you can "liberate" one :)
