Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway Epic Fail for PC

Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway comes out for consoles next week and PCs on September 30th. Find out why you should buy the console version and skip the PC game.

Gearbox and Ubi have been too quiet about the PC version's multiplayer and for good reason - they might as well have not bothered to include it in the first place.

"Find out why you should buy the console version and skip the PC game."
Honestly, this game should be skipped altogether.

another flamebait title from an unkown website who need attention. Im so freaking tired of these overused words that is EPIC FAIL.

The PC version is stil the same as console so how does it make it an epic failure?

[docsavage]

Yes it's the same...that's the point, it shouldn't be. The fact is PC gamers are feeling a little burned by the consoles and this is one of the reasons why, games that are offered on the PC that are little more than ports that do not take advantage of the inherent abilities a PC can offer.

By just plopping this out on the market with as little information about the PC MP as possible is pretty irresponsible IMHO so the need for the call to attention is real.

That's what they said about Mercenaries 2, and it has to be one of the worst games I've played, both in terms of gameplay/story/graphics and bugs.

Mercenaries 1 was so much better, now they are just milking the formula.

[Silellak]

Oh good. Another WW2-based FPS.

*slams his head against his desk*

[bumnut]

don't buy it or post in articles related to it then.

10 vs 10 is probably alright. I used to play COD 4 in less populated server cuz sometimes it make place for more strategy and less dying on random grenade if you know what i mean.

For the lack of dedicated server well this have to be seen. Gears of war and splinter cell 3 both have great online.

yes because a bad multiplayer component ruins a game, god, I hate todays multiplayer focused games, while I still love to play headquarters with my friends in COD I love the singleplayer more than the mutli (as long as it's good) whatever, from what I've seen of highway to hell it's just an action/unrealistic/hokey wwII game, while the first two were hokey there was lot's of strategy in the combat unlike games like MOH and COD. I hate how simplified shooters are today, take COD, BF:BC for example while they're all great games they are simplified to hell, you have basically unlimited ammo, so you don't have to worry about shooting, rechargeable health, no inventory, only a few weapons at a time, I loved games like system shock and deus ex, because I had to worry about how much ammo I had, or how much health I had plus how much reserve health I had, or the condition of my weapons, or how they had variable damage and accuracy instead of every gun in cod or BF has a set point of damage and a set point of accuracy. anyway I hope this game isn't some mindless action shooter anyway.

Not a buy for me.

It so stupid saying pathetic crap about pc version being worse than console. I have nothing against consoles but i prefer pc's. If anything BIA on pc will have better graphics than the console version..

[Sangheili85]

He makes this big fuss about PC MP but how do we know XBL or PSN will be any better? They haven't released any info on either consoles MP. I want to buy this game bad but if they don't release some info on how the MP will work or what modes will be available I won't be buying it.

good luck, halo 4. but at least Bungie is making a new halo type FPS which will be even BETTER.

The author of the article is just another trend-slave who clearly has never played a Brothers in Arms game before.

10v10? That's a huge step above the previous games' 2v2. 20 players is plenty of ppl for a game that lets each player control 3-6 AI units. If you can do math, then you'll know it'll definitely feel a lot bigger than 10v10.

No TDM and Free-for-All?
Boo hoo. Like I said, this person never played BiA and does not get that it's a strategy game, where you command and manuever your units to defeat the enemy. Games like Deathmatch or TDM would simply destroy the essence of the game. With military-simulation (milsim) action, objective games are a lot more fun and worthwhile than just running around killing each other. Besides, Team Fortress 2 doesn't have deathmatch, and it doesn't need it. Whoever wrote this article should just go back to Halo.

So by your logic only people that have played BIA before should even bother because us poor noobs just won't get the game's limitations are a good thing?? Are you kidding me? When you are playing this game with your little brother because nobody else is I hope you feel superior then too.

Grats, you've missed the point.
