Medal of Honor

I was very surprised to not find a thread about this game when I searched, so here I am making one.

The newest Medal of Honor game is set in a modern timeframe, and will patch the US against Talibans (or since they need to be politicly correct and not use real names, whites vs middle-easterns). But in all fairness, the gameplay looks pretty good.

There is an Open Beta that everyone can participate in starting this monday, jump over to Steam and pre-install the beta client now, or go to this site if you don't use Steam: http://www.medalofhonor.com/pcopenbeta

modern warfare?

Can't wait to play this. Although, i'm looking forward to Bad company veitnam, too. I think i've exhausted everything Bad Company 2 has to offer as of now and considering that i can't stand Modern Warfare 2 i'm in need of a new shooter.

I'm also looking forward to this.

Gameplay videos for SP look pretty promising. Something a bit different than Modern Warfare.

Tried out the Beta.

I'm enjoying it immensely. It feels like a tighter BFBC2. It feels more realistic than MW2.

The problem is how bad some of the guys are. I played for about 40 minutes and it was the Action mode (or whatever it's called). I basically got 3/5 objectives by just flanking the opposing team. But it was boat loads of fun.

One cool thing was that there was a little rock bridge and the sun was beaming from the other side. I started walking towards it and I saw a shadow coming towards me. I stop and aimed my weapon and took the guy down just after he came into view. I thought it was pretty damn cool. I never got that with MW2 and it's run around in circles MP.

I like the aiming a lot more then in BBC2, but I still don't think the guns sound cool enough, the Rifleman second main gun is the only one that sounds like a real gun imo. Also, I felt that the map and class-selection etc is better handled in BBC2 then here.

Well, I find it both equal. I never had a problem choosing kits loadouts.

I never noticed the sound of the guns.

Haven't played a MOH since the first MOH released for PS2. Felt so awesome storming the beach for the first time back then.

Was that Allied Assault?

If so, Medal Of Honor has gone back since the old PS1 days. It was a stealth like game I believe.

But your right, Allied Assault was a great game.

I have'nt played the Medal Of Honor games since the PS1 days but this new one does look good.

I'm looking forward to it. Looks like its going to a lot of fun, or so I hope.

I disagree, I dislike the aiming mechanics in MOH. It feels too slow and unresponsive even after tweaking the mouse sensitivity settings. In bad company if I saw a guy I would quickly adjust my sights line them up with the target and fire all within a second. In MOH it's too slow and if I see a guy looking at me I almost never even get a chance to aim before I die.

I think that's why I like it actually.

If somebody gets a drop on you, you should die.

ign chewed the arse out of this game, and i trust them, i'll pass, they got an indepth review up for this.

I've seen reviews like that, but also some that are very good.

I'm having fun with it.

I'll rent it, but I'm Reach's for the next year. heh

People have called this the "Modern Warfare killer".

Thoughts?

I know thats how things also roll in the Call Of Duty games too.

Hardly, Serious CoD fans will hate it because - like bfbc - the controls arnt as sharp, the aiming not as tight, the movement not as quick, the graphics not as slick. Don't get me wrong this looks nice in a lot of environments, but if anything it was meant to contend with Battlefield BC, "CoD killer" doesn't exist yet. Halo certainly isn't it because it's not multiplatform and BFBC isn't it because..well..it just isn't.

Black Ops is the MW2 killer as Treyarch have gone in a MW direction for this game and it will appeal to both WaW and MW fans. Midnight buy for me.

Nah, you can easily kill somebody who has a drop on you in MW2. This game, very hard to do.

It's alright MP. Nothing spectacular but I do like how the game rewards you for flanking or surprising enemies. In MW (plus 2), its too hectic to really flank somebody. You can but less rewarding.

I'm enjoying SP alot. I like how it takes place in a real setting and more of war than MW games do.
