Brothers in Arms HH E3 trailer
- Thread starter EvilCrocodile
- Start date
I kind of like Gearbox's approach to Hells Highway, they are obviously trying to tie in with Band of Brothers and how you actually cared for the soldiers that fought.
Interview with Randy Pitchfork, I know but that's how I call him.

Watching the interviews for this I feel like the devs really know what theyre doing and the game should be great. Unfortunately, the game footage says otherwise. The "storyline" and dialogue are cheesy, the gameplay looks just like the original (supress, flank, kill, repeat), and the first person models of everything look amateurish.

Agreed! From what they're saying it should be a fantastic game that meets all my high standards. However, every time I see that ****ed up hand model on the M1 Garand I cringe and say, "Gees guys, can't professionals do alittle bit better than that?!"
The main reason I really disliked the first BIA games is because of that damn foced "suppress and flank" gameplay that felt more like a stupid puzzle game than a WWII historical shooter. I do give them credit on the story line though -- most games dont even try to pull of a decent story with good voice acting, etc. Even if you think it fails, you have to give them kudos for even attempting such a thing... ESPECIALLY on a game that's made for consoles.
This PC demo "50%" chance business really disturbs me though -- of course, come to think of it, BIA has always been a console game at heart, unlike other console ports that used to originally be PC standards. *cough* Unreal Tournament 3 *cough*
Thats why Im looking forward to COD5! WOOT 
Guns that actually kill, and you still have a massive amount of intelligent friendlies working around you!

Dunno, on that last trailer it looks like fun. We'll just have to see when we get our hands on it I guess.
Considering the fact BiA is not just regular shooting range (even though the cover system can be somewhat repetitive) and not over-epic game where you would storm Berlin or steal Enigma or do some other stuff like that, it is somewhat "true". BiA had suffered from overhype since day 1 though
Something I actually liked BiA in the first place. Cleaning a field from wooden poles is far from being epic, and so was ambushing fleeing germans from bunkers. On the other hand, they were far more interesting because they were not as epic as one might expect
I still see this as it being a good single player game (if it is long enough in length that is).
Don't know if I would want to play it for MP, I still remember the lack of lean and prone (a little console influence?) in the first BIA and the horrible weapon sway. That would drive me absolutely nuts.
