Oct 7, 2008

When we last filled the boots of Brothers in Arms protagonist Matt Baker in Road to Hill 30 (the sequel followed one of his fellow sergeants), he was just beginning to learn the ropes as a squad leader in the 101st Airborne Division. Now a grizzled veteran who’s earned the trust and respect of his troops, Baker must lead his squad through one of the most punishing Allied defeats in World War II: Operation Market Garden. ...

The real story behind Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (Feature)

May 9, 2008

Gearbox is a developer that prides itself on realism, and takes the task of recreating the events of Operation Market Garden very seriously - they even brought in veterans who were actually there to make sure the experience was as authentic as it could be. They’ve also done mountains of research on the operation. Ubisoft hooked us up with some reference photos from “Hell's Highway: The True Story of the 101st Airborne ...

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (Preview)

May 8, 2008

When Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood was released in 2005, it began an epic war story not unlike HBO’s Band of Brothers. In fact, the third chapter, Hell’s Highway, begins with a “Previously, on Brothers in Arms” recap, to remind us what Captain Matt Baker and the men of the 101st Airborne Division have been through since dropping into Normandy on D-Day. Now, as part of Operation Market Garden, Baker and his men ...

Brother's in Arms: Hell's Highway (Preview)

Apr 17, 2008

Geeks who came a generation before gaming are still giddily dressing to the nines and LARPing away all over America in super-serious Civil War reenactments. The point is: You're not over World War II, you just think you are. Yeah, yeah - the market was over saturated and Call of Duty 4 got with the times, but history never goes out of style. There are still plenty of us out there with a rabid hankering for all things WWII, an appetite that has not been satiated by Medal of Honor's recent Vanguard and Airborne assaults. Enter Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. ...

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - hands-on (Preview)

Mar 14, 2008

There’s something inherently sensible about the Brothers in Arms games - in the nicest possible way. Despite all the bullets and drama they never lose their head; they always seem a few steps ahead of you. Case in point: the first proper level begins with an airdrop of the 101st Airborne Division. Immediately we imagined the same night sky filled with transport planes and flak fire that we’ve played and seen in a good dozen games ...

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (Preview)

Jan 30, 2008

When Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway looks more like Soldier of Fortune than it does Medal of Honor, you know that its not your typical WWII shooter. Our first act was to hurl a grenade that blew one man into three: eviscerating his mid-section and blasting off his left leg at the knee. Once wed thrown the grenade, the game decided that we werent in any immediate danger, so it gave us a close-up of the explosion. In slow motion we could make out every little detail, including the bones ...

Jan 9, 2008

Jan 9, 2008 Whereas former Brothers in Arms games focused on victorious moments in World War II, Hells Highway concentrates on Operation Market Garden: the last major Allied defeat. “In the first game it was like the first Star Wars, with Carantan like the Death Star where all the Rebels band together,” explains head of Gearbox Randy Pitchford. “This story is more like The Empire Strikes Back. The bad guys are on top. It is not a good day for the ...

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (Preview)

Dec 20, 2007

Dec 20, 2007 The Brothers in Arms series has always been more thought-provoking than most: its focus on suppression fire, team orders and flanking maneuvers set it apart from the usual run-and-gun nature of your average shooter. Hell's Highway is no exception, and thanks to the new hardware it's gained a few tricks. Sergeant Baker reprises his role as a squad leader in the 101st Airborne Division, but unlike protagonists from other WWII games (that shall remain nameless for now) he doesn't ...

Oct 15, 2007

Oct. 15, 2007 The second World War's been getting a bit of a raw deal recently. Medal of Honor: Airborne, though a sterling effort, couldn't quite slap us out of our apathy with all things 1940. So what hope is there that Sergeant Matt Baker and his brave boys from the 101st Airborne Division can turn things around? See, BIA has always been that bit different from the other WWII FPS' that seemingly deluge every gaming system under the sun. With a marked emphasis on flanking, suppression fire ...

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway - updated impressions (Preview)

Jul 18, 2007

We like it when things fall down. Or get blown up, and then fall down. Or get shot, blown up, spun through the air, then fall down upon a pile of boxes that proceed to break into pieces. In slow-motion. While on fire. Well, maybe not while on fire. Really, we just like to see the reaction to our actions. When you fire a bullet, it should matter. When you fire a bazooka, it should matter more. Brothers in Arms understands ...

Here's a ten-strong squad of new shots for Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Gearbox's third WWII shooter to hit consoles and PC. This time, its squad-strategy action will be centred on Operation Market Garden, the allied push to secure a series of bridges in the Netherlands in 1944.

"Sergeant Baker is a poet. You won't be able to hear it... but if you could, you would cry." We're packed into a noisy room at publisher Ubisoft's recent press day, staring at a blank loading screen for Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. The protagonist's supposedly poignant narration, as well as our desire to witness yet another World War II game, is quickly fading into the surrounding din. But when the action begins to unfold on screen, we suddenly believe the developer's claims. War can be ...

Feb 8, 2007

Flying in the drawn, unshaven face of Second World War videogame tradition, which states “war games shall be epic, gritty, a bit like that movie about Ryan, but above all must feature the Allies giving Jerry a good thrashing,” Brothers In Arms Hells Highway will center instead on one of the most dispiriting defeats suffered by the Allies. Playing as both original BIA hero Matt Baker and Earned In Blood star Joe Hartsock, youll be dumped into a fateful campaign that saw the US 101st ...
