Latest screens for Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway

After a good number of months in hiatus, the new title from Ubisoft and Gearbox Software finally makes its presence felt again. Set for a release within the first quarter of this year, Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway is gearing up once again, as it prepares to finally invade the living rooms of PS3, Xbox360, and Windows Vista owners everywhere.

Placing gamers in the middle of the largest paratrooper operation in World War II, the story will then follow the Lead of the 101st Airborne Division, Matt Baker, and his men as they carry out Operation Market Garden. It is then up to Baker and his group to try to capture Highway 69, a.k.a. “Hell’s Highway”, in an attempt to give Allied Forces a chance to gain key locations, and perhaps end the war.

In the meantime, the player will have a whole roster of men at his command, each man with his own personality, story, and specialty. Assign tasks to them properly, and set up the perfect ambush, or combine their expertise in artillery for maximum damage. However, remember to keep your crew safe and intact, and know that a moving target is harder to hit. Keep moving, as staying under the cover of an object can only last so long, as your shelter eventually gets destroyed by enemy fire, just like in real life.

When not reliving those moments in 1944, though, players can instead nuke it out in a deathmatch, which features squad-based combat with more than a dozen players on each side. All via online multiplayer gameplay.

So, as we wait for further word from the guys behind this game, here are some more screenshots, as well as some characters models to inspect while we wait for March to finally get here.

More images after the jump!
