Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - updated impressions

Crossing dire straits on the highway to hell

As before, when approaching enemy positions, you have to duck behind walls, vehicles and bushes - anything that will shield you from the enemy for a moment, and preferably something that can withstand bullets. This is all par for the course for BiA, but in Hell’s Highway, when you step out from behind cover to shoot back, the atmosphere begins to tint a shade of blood red. This is a sign that you’re in a danger zone, and if you stay there too long you’ll be shot and killed. The safe area back behind cover remains crisp and colored as normal, letting you know where to go for protection.

If squad combat just isn’t your thing though, Hell’s Highway also promises to be the first in the series to have missions where Baker must progress on his own. Given the stress involved with being in charge of so many lives, a little solitude is more than welcome.
