Hell’s Highway deals with the subjects of brotherhood, PTSD, and leadership, but the gunplay itself isn’t left lacking either, complemented by fine-tuned squad command mechanics that still hold up today. While Bad Company was a strong debut that paved the way for an even better sequel, it’s Hell's Highway that still stands out as a memorable high-point for the Brothers in Arms series, with the dramatic poetry underscoring the campaign juxtaposed effectively against the fierceness of both the visuals and gameplay. What it is: The seventh instalment in the WW2-based first-person shooter series from Gearbox.Ģ008 was clearly the watershed year for squad-based combat, with both Battlefield: Bad Company and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway releasing within a few months of each other, to much the adulation of their respective fans.
