That's fantastic, is it actually ever going to come out though?
I've been waiting for this one for so long I'm almost beyond caring. |

Dear Mr Pitchford.
You can blow a hole in the tower of the church, where the german machinegun guy is raining down bullets on you, but shoot that same rocket towards the rest of the church, the house next to it or even the small brick wall with another batch of germans behind it, and nothing happens. And I you really want to make stuff realistic, drop the colored circles above the enemies' head. It looks stupid, takes away the surprise element and... well... you've done that a few times already. Suppress and flank is a good idea, using only that is kinda silly these days. /continues waiting for bad company. |

Hell's Highway represent a "15-20 percent" leap over Epic's still rather foxy Gears of War.
Er not too difficult. You just have to add some colour and tone down the specular shader a touch to achieve that. For all of gears great graphics. Someone on the epic team needed to be brave enough to say stop to all the washed out palettes. |

Why compare yourself to a game that's 2 years old anyway? Or if so, why stop there?
2541% better graphics than JetSet Willy on the ZX Spectrum! |

Sorry 'bout that - but at least I wasn't claiming gameplay was better than JetSet Willy! |

JetSet Willy '20% better than Hell's Highway.'
Brighter colours, more lives, more variety in enemy types, more pickups, takes longer to complete and has more infamous attics than Hell's Highway will ever have. Already on wide release! |

I'd be happy with the same fidelity as gears but with 20% or more increase in frame rate.

I've been dissapointed in the Brothers in Arms games. But this one finally looks like it could have me buying it. It looks like a Ghost-Recon WW2 game and to me thats a good thing. The other games were clunky and awkward with a poor strategic element, but this looks like it could finally be going the more strategic route like GRAW. Pure WW2 FPS's are dead so maybe this more strategic route is exactly what the genre needs.

How does one quantify something subjective?
Mind you, if they can get rid of that godawful texture pop-in, that would be a significant leap. |

I think that EPIC should sue the shit out of this clown for defamation. (thx JSPOOLE)
Even taking into account the resolution of the gameplay video it looks ropey as hell. Not to mention dull as dishwater.

I believe there is a 20% over saturation of world war games and I can't be bothered...

OMFG listen to you GOW fan boy bitches.
Read the article with out your GOW glasses on you dicks. Epic and GB have invested heavily on the U3 engine and it is now 20% better 'fidelity' than what it was when GOW was first made. I don't see where it says its a 20% better game. Naturally its going to look better as the engine receives more TLC and I'm sure GOW2 will look 20% better than GOW. Just for the record GOW blows dog, just like all the other stupid alien shooters out there. At least HH has a slight element of reality to it seeing its based on actual events. |
