Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
is the third entry in the Brothers in Arms series of video games which follow a squad of men, of the 101st Airborne Division (502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment) led by the player-character Matt Baker. This game once again puts players in the role of Staff-Sergeant Matt Baker during Operation Market Garden in the later stages of WWII.

Features:

The game has many new features, including the ability to command a further squad from a selection of new specialized units (bazooka teams and machine gun teams). When a command is issued, the player model uses hand signals to issue the command to his squad, just like the previous games in the series. The player also has the ability to take cover behind objects, in a manner similar to Rainbow Six Vegas, which is an integral part of the game's strategy. A regenerating health system has replaced the more punishing set health per mission system of previous titles in the franchise. The AI has been drastically improved, and the player's team will adapt to whether or not they are seen by whispering. The AI also makes mistakes such as tripping, and helps each other when these mistakes are made. The game is built on the Unreal Engine 3 and the Windows version can take advantage of the features in DirectX 10 which allows for an enhanced graphical experience for more realistic gameplay. There is also a graphic and graphically impressive gore system.

Wow, this game... I expected those 9/10 or 90% score reviews... but its the 7/10 - type game....

IGN rated the game 7.6...

graphics only 5.5 !!! turns out there are plenty of visual glitches, slowdowns and worse, sometimes bland textures...

also, the enemy AI is said to be really dumb... they sometimes just stand there even though you just threw a grenade behind them.

but i dunno... the storyline is said to be great

The graphics is good, but not great. Don't expect GoW or COD4 level of graphics, but they're good enough. And the map design and ambience more than make up for it. Sometimes during cutscenes the frame rate would drop.

The enemies do move when you throw frag at them, but there is a delay between the frag landing and them running. This is on Veteran. Dunno how will it be on Authentic.

Oh, now you can carry enemy MG42s! rclxm9.gif

after watching ed1001, playing Brothers in Arms it seems to me is like back to the old days of Call Of Duty 2. laugh.gif what I like is you can control your assault squadron and your bazooka ..

not bad...

You can do that with the MGs as well... and the game will go into a slow-mo action camera sequence. laugh.gif

One neat feature they included is the button/controller map that follow COD4. They call it "Tour of Duty".
