- Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Preview -
In Highway's most radical departure from tradition, Sgt. Baker will split
off from his squad at certain points in the game for levels that are
played entirely alone. Clearly influenced by Gears of War, the solo level
shown may have been an outright homage to the "Mansion" section of Gears.
Baker was ducking behind duvets and dishing out punishment from the second
story of a large mansion. The wide angle view modes were especially useful
in these hallway sections, as the player is quite vulnerable without a squad
to cover him.

game will now debut solely on the PS3 this fall. When contacted by
GameSpot, Ubisoft reps were somewhat cagey. "Haze is leading on PS3, but no
exclusivity for any platform has been officially announced," a spokesperson
said. This leaves open the possibility that the game could arrive on the 360
and PC sometime in 2008.
