About the Game
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is the third installment of the Brother in Arms series and takes place four months after "Operation Overlord". players once again takes over the control of Staff Sergeant Matthew Baker and his squads as they take part in "Operation Market Garden".
Gameplay & Core Systems
The game tells the story of him and his squad assaulting and securing Eindhoven and the subsequent defense of the surrounding area against the German counter-attacks. As in the previous games players, in 1st person perspective or via tactical map, orders his squad around the map from cover to cover, ordering them to suppress the enemy and planning a flank attack to take the enemy position out, always advancing to the next objective. But to spice things up a bit, there isn't just an assault team waiting to be controlled. In some missions players get access to more specialised machine gun or bazooka teams. There are also missions in which players have control over a tank or has to fulfill the objective completely on his own.
Standout Features
- Especially the latter is very useful now since cover can be destroyed with enough fire power.
- Like in Rainbow Six: Vegas players can also now do a move called "Dig in" at each cover.
- From this position he can blind fire or look over the cover to get the kill with the improved combat system which doesn't rely that much on flanking the enemy anymore since every part of an enemy can now be hit if it's visible.
- Another change is the new health system.
- Another notable element is a team-based multiplayer mode for up to 20 players in which the teams either have to capture flag points or defend these points or eliminate the whole opposition to win the round.
- This will switch the camera to a 3rd person view and make the character invulnerable to enemy attack (as long as the cover isn't destroyed).
- And if players make an especially impressive shot (long distance head shot for example), the game switches to a slow-motion action cam, showing the hit in every gory detail.
