|Brothers| Realism Mod

v1.5.4b – Days of War Edition

Brothers Realism Mod (or BRM) is designed specifically for the tactical realism community and contains many of the features that became a typical part of the CoD2 TR scene. Using the new possibilities of CoD:WaW it also contains numerous new things that add more life to the gameplay. For the full feature list, please visit http://www.codbrothers.co.uk and go to the BRM subforums. Feel free to join in any of the discussions or start your own if there are changes you want to see.

The mod is primarily built around S&D, but also supports the other stock gametypes except DM (not tested thoroughly I might add).
