Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway - Official Thread

Wow.. I seen this in last month's issue of OXM and just watched a video from teamxbox.com... Looks pretty flippin awesome.. I'm not a big fan of games you have to order people around (I like COD more because you don't have to do that) but man.. This came looks SAAAWEEET!!

So, will you be picking this up?? Whenever it is that it comes out (4th qtr 2006).

Video Link for anyone interested..

I raved about that gameplay demo over here.

Brothers in Arms has never looked so good and it seems to play well with the 360 controller. It became a must buy for me after seeing it in action at the show.

Yah, I wasn't pointing it out for that. I'm just too lazy to copy and paste.

Re: Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway - Official Thread

Sorry I didn't post this sooner but I just happened to read this a few minutes ago. In the newest OXM, they have some article about achievement whoring and in a little caption at the bottom of the screen, it states: If you have Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, make sure to play it on September 17 (while connected to Live) to get the "Remember September '44" Achievement (50G).

So there you go...a quick 50 points if you have this sitting on yourself. And I don't know if you can get this by changing your calendar since the mag mentions having to be on Live to get it. I just tried it and it gave it to me immediately on the menu screen without even having to load the game.

I know many of us have this from the recent BB sale when we were able to score the LE edition for 5 bucks.


And wow...this thread really went nowhere.

Made it in with 7 minutes to spare! Thanks for the supreme Gamerscore whoring tip!

And yeah, this isn't exactly the Arkham Asylum thread, is it?

Re: Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway - Official Thread

Considering the recent deal at BB for this game I figured more people would be talking about it. It's not a bad game really. It's just another in the long line of WWII FPS games. COD2 was great COD3 was marginal. I'd say this game is no worse than COD3.

I would think that you could disconnect from Live, change the calender, insert the game, get the Achievement, then sign in and it should be fine. That's like the money-making trick in Fable 2.

I got the PS3 version when it was cheap, and the game has no trophy support, so no free points for me.

I was on vacation from 9/16-9/22 so I gave this game and my profile to a buddy who was going to log in for me. Well, of course he logs in on the wrong day! Doh!

I saw this thread pop up and immediately deduced why it had come back.
