Thanks to Blue's News for this tidbit. GBase has fired-up an interview with Gearbox Software's Randy Pitchford regarding their upcoming tactical shooter, Brothers In Arms. Topics range from the games multiplayer to the release date. Here's a clipping:

GBase: How much work did you invest into the multi-player modus? Are there any special modi planned? How many players can participate in the multiplayer-modus? There are about 10 multiplayer maps, or so, at launch and each map is like a mission – in that each side has an objective. Except in these missions, your opponents are humans and they are commanding AI squads (just like you and your team mate are).
Because of the emphasis on fire and move strategies and the squad command nature of the game, the on-line game is really new and exciting and different than what you`ve ever played before. It`s not just a test to see who has the best reaction times – it really is a game of thinking as much as it is a game of action. If you`re great at aiming, but you’re fighting against someone who knows how to use his team to flank you (or to suppress you while he flanks you), you`re going to get creamed.
