Re: Brothers in Arms-Hell's Highway

Wow, these trains look like good ol' Unreal Tournament.

Re: Brothers in Arms-Hell's Highway

I have to try this game, any Demo or something?

Re: Brothers in Arms-Hell's Highway

BiA is alot of "wack-a-mole and fire back and forth at eachother untill one side is killed off..."

No.

BIA is actually , if your playing it right, a "out flank the enemy and kill them off".

I disagree. The video may convince you off that but thats a bad example of how to kill the enemy.
Try just firing some bullets at a Flak 18 which is aiming at you :p
You have to outflank the enemy, most of the time they are stronger. They got MG's, rifle/SMG, raketenpanzerbuche, 88's.

Not throwing grenades at a group of enemies (jerries or yankees depending on what side you are on) packed together (behind a low wall or something)would be kinda silly, unless soldiers like to play wack-a-mole and fire back and forth at eachother untill one side is killed off... besides who doesn't like a "Oh fuck gr BOOM *most of your squad is dead*" moments? =p

Now that you mention it, I have indeed yet to encounter an enemy grenade being thrown at me, perhaps because I play on regular?( enemy only throws grenades at hard or authentic?)

Also, the MG42 is the M60 of it's age in this game; when you have it you may walk slower but it's the ultimate house-clearing tool. Just aim, spray and no praying needed.

I also noted that there seems to be no option (either that or I overlooked it) to send my attack-team in to take out the enemy at close range. I remember that in the earlier BiA's you could let a team either fire at an enemy to suppress them or let them engage the enemy.

Those Raketenpanzerbuche are a real pain, I had to do the part in the factory several times over before I nailed them all.

Re: Brothers in Arms-Hell's Highway

I'm also exploring the game on regular :p
After finishing it I will try it on authentic, will be some harder I guess.

Yea, I was missing that feature when I started the campaign! Especially when they moan about flanking them... Instead you need to try target a spot near 'em so they run up there and kill them. Which can be a bit harsh sometimes since the icon rather switch over to supress them. :uhoh:

Later on I did all the rush up and grab them by the neck by myself.

Re: Brothers in Arms-Hell's Highway

Same here, usually I just let the assault group follow me while I flank the enemy myself. I keep the support group behind to put the pressure on the enemy.
