OXM Preview of Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway

Here is a preview for Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway. It sounds like the last mission of the game is intense.

And to quote the the OXM article author, Corey Cohen - "Gearbox is still tuning the game’s difficulty, and at the moment, it’s balanced for squad-style tactics but not run-and-gun tactics". Works for me!
Also sounds like somebody finally came up with a decent AI (?) "When an enemy realizes he’s being flanked, he’ll often flee — running away and diving behind another piece of cover from which he has a better firing position. We saw this behavior numerous times, and it’s fairly impressive, although it does make the battlefield a much more dangerous place for you and your men." Ya think?
Wow, I am definately excited about an apparently awesome soundtrack as well, now. "a German Panzerschreck detonated nearby, producing an intense ringing sound that simulated what you’d hear if you were near the impact. It’s one of many examples of grippingly realistic audio heard throughout the game; the sound of whizzing bullets, pouring rain, and explosions booming in the distance are just as startling in their authenticity". Supposedly, the AI comments are "helpful" Helpful? "A.I. comments are also triggered by your movements" ..says, Cohen.
My question now is, which will come out first: BIA HH or Turtle Beach's Ear Force X4 headset ? Timing is everything~
To make the wait even worse, Cohen says: "Hell’s Highway is looking like the mother of all World War II games". Ah, if only big daddy, Gearbox could get its bride to the church on time..Rolling Eyes

"There's no such thing as a small team, you just need bigger balls"
And THAT's how we roll!

Going to put this here because I don't want to start another thread.
But Turbo you just need to check out the picture in the new issue of OXM. It just tore at my heart. It speaks volumes of what the devs want us to feel in the game.
