History YMMV / BrothersInArms

* BestLevelEver: As difficult as it is, the titular Hell's Highway of game 3 is a visually magnificent level that really sells the impressive devastation of the battle.

** ''The All Americans'' two-parter takes everything that was bad about ''Push Into Carentan'' and takes it UpToEleven. The STG-44 armed Panzergrenadiers are back, complete with the Panzer IV tanks. What could possibly make it worse, you might ask? 88mm guns, of course! And just like ''Push Into Carentan'', you have no tank support, meaning you alone have to take out all the tanks and gun positions with Panzerfausts you can find. Enjoy.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Not a person, but a vehicle, in this case the M10 tank destroyer in ''Earned in Blood''. It only appears in one level, and it doesn't even get a chance to engage German tanks which it was designed to do. Worse, the final level only features it as TheCavalry during the final segment, and you and your squad are forced to advance without tank support all the while the Germans have artillery and tanks backing them up.

* MisaimedFandom: A lot of rock fans in the '80s no doubt identified with the narrator's disdain for Creator/{{MTV}} and his homophobic dismissal of NewWaveMusic and the NewRomantic scene in "Money for Nothing". A lot of fans also took the song as a celebration of MTV for the song's use of the "I want my MTV" catchphrase and its innovative video, though Mark Knopfler was skeptical of music videos.
* OlderThanTheyThink: "Money for Nothing" was the first music video to have computer animated ''characters'', but not the first to use computer animation. That would be Music/{{Devo}}'s "Peek-a-Boo," released three years earlier.
* 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 a home computer. What's more, this fact, combined with the emergence of the LoudnessWar in the late 1990's, has led analog tape to be viewed as the superior format, with digital recording now categorized as cheap and amateurish.
** The use of computer animation in the video for "Money for Nothing" was groundbreaking, but it also looks cheap and amateurish these days. A cheap Intel HD card on a low-end laptop could do a better job of rendering the animation. In real time.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The "I want my MTV" parts of "Money For Nothing" have frequently been compared to Music/ThePolice's "Don't Stand So Close To Me." Though it's not a total coincidence, as that part was contributed by Music/{{Sting}}, who received a songwriting credit on the track.
* ToughActToFollow: The album was so acclaimed and successful that the follow-up was highly anticipated for years. Their next album, [[SequelGap 1991's]] ''Music/OnEveryStreet'', was such a critical and commercial disappointment that [[CreatorKiller the band broke up shortly after its supporting tour]].

* Sequelitis: The third Gameloft title, Sons of War, is full of microtransactions, grinding and an extremely pay2win multiplayer mode compared to the previous mobile titles.

* ThatOneLevel: ''Road to Hill 30'' and ''Earned in Blood'' have quite a number, not helped by their status as NintendoHard games in their genre.

** ''Hell's Highway'' from the game of the same name. Take everything bad about ''The All Americans'', set it during the evening, and you get this literal hell of a level. You're forced to fight platoons of heavily-armed [[EliteMooks SS Panzergrenadiers]] armed with assault rifles and sniper rifles, 88mm guns, ''and'' their tank support, all without access to a dedicated anti-tank weapon for most of the level. And if that wasn't terrible enough, a GameBreakingBug will render your AI allies unable to fire their weapons unless you restart the game.

** [=MG42s=], at least in the first two games. Will kill you with one shot, and you must flank them. Luckily, they are fairly inaccurate.

** ''Bloody Gulch''. Just like in ''No Better Spot to Die'', of which this level is a POVSwitch of, you have to face off against the Panzergrenadiers and their STG-44 assault rifles. What makes this level more challenging is that you also have to fight against a German mortar team and later, against two Panzer IV tanks without any tank support. Thankfully, the last portion is much easier, involving mowing down German infantry armed only with bolt action rifles from your prepared positions.

** ''Push Into Carentan''. The Panzergrenadiers are already a difficult foe by themselves, having STG-44 assault rifles as their primary weapon and more than capable of killing you and your squadmates in one magazine. It gets worse during the middle portion when not one, but ''two'' Panzer IV tanks have to dealt with using single-shot Panzerfausts, which at best require two shots to take out a tank. [[note]] It is possible, but difficult, to use a Mk. II grenade to destroy the tank in one go by going up to the rear and dropping it into the commander's hatch, but that's if you manage to evade the Panzergrenadiers guarding the tank and the tank itself isn't spotting you [[/note]] And that's not the end of it. The last portion has you fight more assault rifle-armed German troops inside a warehouse sector, complete with MG42 machine gun nests. Thankfully, the last German troops you kill are instead armed instead with bolt action rifles.

** And in Earned in Blood, the 88's. Just...the 88's.
