Guys i got a copy of the OXM March issue...well i thought upon myself so post it to you guys.. because your all cool, well here it is.
Here are a few quotes for the March issue of Official XBox Magazine. There is a nice long preview and its worth picking up a copy just for the article.
Here are some of the highlights that give new info:
Spoiler: 1. "After a short tutorial mission set in the middle of Operation Market Garden , where you and fellow returnee Sgt. Joe Hartsock are trying to escape an abandoned hospital in Eindhoven, the game jumps back a few days to the beginning of Market Garden."
2. "...which has nine chapters and an "mini-chapter"."
3. "...the game starts you off controlling just one fire team a two man machinegun crew- to give newbies a chance to adjust to BIA's tactical squad combat."
4. "You'll control four types of fire teams throughout the game: base-of-fire, machinegun, assault, and bazooka." (I guess they left out the radio man and mortar).
5. "Upon reloading, we called up Highway's Situational Ordinance view to access the area. Improved since the earlier BIAs, it shows you objects in your environment, enemies you know about, and the locations of various objectives.
6. "...these next-gen Nazis are pretty smart." (When talking about the new A.I.).
7. "**** ****; In a series first, BIA:HH will have an option to turn off characters' swearing. It's in response to educators who've told Gearbox they'd like to use the BIA games in the classroom."
8. "...helpful A.I. comments are also triggered by your movements, as we observed in another mission when Baker was moving into an unsafe position and one of the men groused, "Baker, are you trying to get shot?"
9. "...Highway begins with a brief cinematic that recalls the events of earlier BIA games as returning character Sgt. Matt Baker sets the stage by intoning: "I never asked to be squad leader. But I had no choice."
10. The author also raved about the amazing and life like sounds.
Other than that its mostly old info.
