History YMMV / BrothersInArms

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: At the time of its release, the fact that the album was recorded digitally was one of its selling points, especially for the CD version. Digital recording is much less impressive now that any bedroom musician can use Pro Tools on their home computers.
* ToughActToFollow: The album was so successful, that the follow-up was highly anticipated. Their next album, ''On Every Street'', was such a critical and commercial disappointment that [[CreatorKiller the band broke up shortly after it was released]].

** Is Corrion right to no longer trust in Baker, who denied him a promotion to Sergeant that was rightfully his and is becoming increasingly unfit to lead a squad due to his PTSD, especially after [[TheReveal the truth]] about Leggett's death got out? Or is he just being an ungrateful {{Jerkass}} to a man who saved his life several times just because he didn't get the promotion he thought he deserved?

* FunnyMoments: Sprinkled here and there in all three games. The best is probably the FunnyBackgroundEvent in a cutscene in ''Hell's Highway'' where Jasper finally reaches the end of his patience with his [[TheAllegedCar chronically-broke-down jeep]], announces his intention to "put the bitch out of her misery" and tries to shoot it while other Recon Squad paratroopers try to stop him.

!!The fanfic
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Late in Chapter One when Kaname opens a present only to find the harisen that she used so often for beating Sousuke.
** Early in Chapter Two. Largely due to the author planting a mental image of Kalinin dressed up like Santa Claus in the minds of readers.
** Early-ish in Chapter Three when Tessa says "''Kaysh mirsh solus''" (his braincell is lonely) about Kurz.
** Kaname describes Sousuke as having invaded her heart without her noticing... causing Tessa to come up with a mental image of a chibi-Sousuke with a Ka-bar in his teeth, digging a foxhole in a pink heart-shaped island.
* HeartwarmingMoments: At the end of Chapter One, when Sousuke gives Kaname her birthday/Christmas present.
* MomentOfAwesome:
** Garon has one of his first shown semi-early in Chapter Three when he offers lessons in "manners, the good ''Mando'ad'' way."

!!The games

* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/Troy Baker was leading man here in ''Road to Hill 40'' eight years before his career would really blow up in 2013.

** Is Baker AFatherToHisMen who is just trying to ensure their safety so that they all get home alive, even if it means putting an unbearable psychological strain on him that [[ShellShockedVeteran begins messing with his perceptions of reality?]] Or is he unfit for being squad leader, a position that [[RefusalOfTheCall he never wanted]] yet was thrust into, and his attempts at being "friends" with his squad ultimately puts them and others in unnecessary danger during [[WarIsHell a war that spares no one]] and [[TheChainsOfCommanding requires hard decisions to be made?]]

* NightmareFuel: The story starts out with your run-of-the mill seriousness, and even a few lighthearted moments. But let's face it. As Baker's guilt and PTSD starts to get to him, he starts seeing some pretty scary stuff.[[spoiler: Like when the face of a child Baker rescued only to die in the next mission flashes on your screen, or when the battle field literally starts turning red and looking like the pits of Hell as you fight off incoming tanks.]]

* SeinfedIsUnfunny: At the time of its release, the fact that the album was recorded digitally was one of its selling points, especially for the CD version. Digital recording is much less impressive now that any bedroom musician can use Pro Tools on their home computers.

* {{Tearjerker}}
** [[spoiler: The death of Allen and Garnett. Hell's Highway takes this UpToEleven by showing the guilt Leggett repressed, ending up in him taking on a tank with a .45. Baker feels guilty about this and keeps hallucinating him (or seeing his ghost).]]
** [[spoiler: In Earned in Blood, when Red remembers a patrol with Desola, Allen and Garnett. His voice when he tells Marshall they all died later...]]
*** [[spoiler: And the death of Doyle, Red's 82nd Airborne buddy. And when Paige, a bit of a {{Jerkass}}, carries Red to safety, then tells Red he's used up all his strength getting them to cover...then dies.]]
** In Hell's Highway, [[spoiler: Franky's death. Especially since the girl he was running of to save was shot by German sentries anyway, making it a SenselessSacrifice. Baker tries to tell him she got away okay, but Franky sees through it.]]
*** [[spoiler: And after Red is paralyzed. The scene where Baker tells him is gut-wrenching.]]

** Similarly, the German Paratroopers armed with [=FG42s=] in Earned in Blood are just as bad as their assault rifle-wielding counterparts.
** MG42's, at least in the first two games. Will kill you with one shot, and you must flank them. Luckily, they are fairly inaccurate.

*** [[spoiler: And after Red is paralyzed. The scene where Baker tells him is gut-wrenching.]]

!!The game
* DemonicSpiders: In later levels in Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood, you will encounter Germans armed with Stg 44 assault rifles. Incredibly powerful and accurate, they're even worse in Carentan and Saint-Sauveur.

After removing Narm, there is nothing to go here. I'm putting it on the cutlist.
