Grundy The Man writes, "Once again I venture into the tired genre known as World War II shooters. If you count my time in the Call of Duty: World at War Beta, my entire weeks worth of gaming has consisted of World War II and plastic guitars. I am sure you can take a guess at which I am enjoying more... Irregardless, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway has been receiving some pretty favorable reviews, so I figured I might as well check out what all the fuss was about.
For the third installment in the Brothers in Arms series, you are once again placed in the shoes of Staff Sargent, Matt Baker. This time around, you are in control of more members of the 101st Airborne Division, surging toward victory in Operation Market Garden. Complete with flashbacks and hallucinations, you will be forced to relive some Baker's most painful memories from the war, while still acting as a strong leader to the rest of your team..."
The Brothers In Arms series is one of the most fondly beloved World War 2 shooters ever made, but will it ever make a comeback?
Brothers in Amrs and Earned in Blood were brilliant. The amount of passion that went into them by Gearbox, who was then a young company, was incredible. The franchise just died after that which is sad. Hell's Highway just wasn't made with the same passion. And let's not talk about the cancelled BiA4, that looked so wrong on so many levels.
Some Easter eggs and secrets aren’t actually that hard to find. Sometimes they are even connected to achievements or trophies in-game, making them very easy to locate. But some secrets are much harder to find and honestly make me wonder how anyone ever finds these things.
PC Aficionado: "We're all excited for Call of Duty: WWII, but it's still awhile away from releasing. We pick out five alternative WWII games to play in the meantime."
After playing the demo for this game, I realized the concept was about strategy and utilizing flanking maneuvers. This separates itself from CoD WaW, which is a first person shooter that has you fighting the war single-handed.
After reading your review, it sounds like you can play Hell's Highway without using your team and you can leave them to die, which underplays the entire point of the game. At least, from my understanding. And if that's true, then the game developer's failed in that you shouldn't be able to complete the mission without your squad's help, because I thought that was the point of the game.
I'm still looking forward to playing this one.
Send me your copy of the game when you're done with it and I'll let you know!
