Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway

Who cares about the facts.. NM and soviet like the game, helium does not.. End of discussion.

I seriously don't know what game you are playing man. After beating this once, I'd absolutely put this in my top 10 games of all time. As far as artistic design, it is number two or three.

When I played through this game, I was continually impressed by the graphics and in many instances I said, "wow, this is even better than CoD4" to myself.

The gameplay is innovative, and is by no means clunky. They've created a very streamlined and easy to use system. As for your comment on movement, no. CoD4 is not good movement. It isn't even realistic. Did you realize when you move around carrying about 50 lbs of gear you don't simply gracefully glide across the ground? You trudge heavily. In fact, you don't move that quickly at all. It is called realism.

Also, I have absolutely no idea where you got the concept that the guns are weak. I probably 1 shot killed about 500 germans (literally) by the time I beat the game.

As for the guns looking like blocks, once again I am utterly confused. The guns look like guns from CoD5.

I say it is good for PC because it is good. I am seriously questioning whether or not to rank this higher on my best games of all time list than CoD1. And, for your information, CoD1 was ranked at 3. So, unless my taste in games is absolutely terrible (which, according to Yahtzee Croshaw is completely wrong in every imaginable way), you are just hallucinating.

Pity, now I want to check the game too and see who's right

Can you post some screenshots about your physical complaints helium ?

[Soviet]

taken real fast with frap's crappy screenshot thing.

[[SoE]_Zaitsev]

I do think CoD4 weapons look better (much sharper) but it's not looking bad.

[helium]

I said that the gun SOUNDS are weak, not the actual guns. Read better next time!

Nice screenshots, although it doesn't look so good. Too bad you can't see how edgy everything is.

Really, if you can download the game, do it. It will be much easier to see what I mean with glitches/voice bugs/bad graphics.

I'll take screenshots later tonight.

Oh and could someone that has time upload a vid of the horrible voice actors and multiplayer?

Thanks.

[Soviet]

that is what my game actually looks like w/o crappy fraps. Does that not look good? I have seen minor graphical glitches on one or two levels, but I think that was because I minimized. I saw no gameplay glitches, and the voices are absolutely perfect. In fact, the voice acting is some of the best I have ever heard, and nm can back me up on that. I just can't even comprehend where you are coming from with this statements.

[helium]

Ye ok, that screenshot isn't bad. I'm gonna admit that. But still, most of the time the game looks MUCH worse, and still has worse graphics than COD4/Crysis/Oblivion/Mass Effect/Gears of War/Half Life/Bioshock/Assassin's Creed/UT3/FEAR/Rainbow Six Vegas 2 etc.

Oh just a fast note: Is it just me or is his right hand really, really wide? That could be because I have wide-screen, but maybe not.

Oh, and you go on about how realistic this game is. Since when is it realistic that you can walk through objects, give orders to sheep, see through your legs, not move your lips when you talk, having mud fly on your face when you get shot inside a house, AI not seeing you when you stand next to them and shooting them or throwing grenades on them AND SO ON, then fine, I don't care. It's up to you what you find realistic and what not.

I'll upload screenies + videos of gameplay and when they talk and you'll see how real it looks. I'll do it at the end of the week though, so if someone else has time to do it I'd be glad.

I don't only have bad thoughts about the game. I still think that it looks awesome in slow motion when you blow someones brains out, but other than that the game is pretty bad. And just one more thing.. It was going to be released in 2007 already, and since they took one extra year to finish it I had high expectations, but well, if they're gonna put an extra year on making it, they should have made it a lot better. It's nowhere near any popular game.

CoD4 has better graphics imo, but I did enjoy the hour I played on PS3, but after playing the MP, I do not condone paying full price for a 7 hour SP.

I will either locate alternative means or wait for price to drop and DL from steam.

The Single Player is Good, ive compleated it, but i think to much story line in it,to many videos. I took my time i spent 4 hours a day playing it, 3 days,12 hours, as while playing it i was looking around the map as well see what jumps would of been possible (LOL) if a mod was made for it...hahaa.

the M.P i think sucks, to me the graphics seem differant, blocky & Chalky to them on single play looks fine.

i like some of the closeups, like when you do a headshot or throw a nade and see the jerries fly in mid air, blood splatter down the jerries head...

Tank Driving was Fun, but limited.

All in all, i think it a fair game, single player is worth playing a couple of times, MultyPlayer im not to sure about, i have played it,but didnt like it much.

My Score if i was to score it, 6/10

[Soviet]

One of the rare cross-forum jokes.

Total Roar, excellent game, but SP to me was to short, could of been longer..

Excellen game in 1 way, but i do wished they had'nt had so much Video story line play in them after each location was finished. Ok Storyline was ok, but some was just to long..Also the loading of each section of the game took to long to load up, i think 1 part of the game took nearly 3 mins to load.lol

But all in all i liked it. 85% i give it.

Oh 1 thing i found was i could'nt controll the squards all that well, when i told them to 1 thing they did somethink differant,lol could nevere get the bazooka team to obay my orders what ever i tried...
