Medal Of Honor: Warfighter

[Balthus Dire]

I messed around with it. It seemed okay for the most part, the spawns are **** though.

Indeed they are terrible, but I think it's because of the design of the game mode. Hopefully they tweak them a bit.

Als, some of the bullet damage and gun accuracies are really off in this beta...like, I can't hit **** all with the heavy machineguns unless the bipod is deployed. Obviously I shouldn't be able to if I'm strafing or something, but if I'm crouched somewhere I should at least be able to hit the guy 3 feet in front of me. Not the case here, though.

Still dunno if I'll get this or just go back to BF3. I really enjoyed the last MOH, though.

Quick Look: Medal of Honor: Warfighter

Skip to about eight minutes in if you're not interested in watching guys goof around on the internet.

Had this game of been third person and a little more tactical i would of been all over it.

 

[Soapy]

Why third person?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Why third person?

I just have come to prefer the third person perspective in these types of games, im not entirely sure why. It seems as most FPS titles dont really take advantage of the perspective which tends to remove me from the experience. Far Cry 2, imo, did a great job at keeping the player feeling like they were the lead character. From keeping the driving in the first person, to the in game interactive map and the injury dressing etc and imo not enough FPS titles do that. But overall i just find myself more engaged with the TPS titles, which seems like it should be the opposite.

My friend bought this yesterday and said the campaign took her 4 hours to complete.

 

[jacobed]

Just like the first game then

 

[Balthus Dire]

I also read that EA didn't ship out early copies for reviewers, which almost always indicates a piece of crap game. Bleh.

First impressions: It's a lot of fun.

Getting to play as your own country and special forces makes it even more fun.

How is this different from say...Call of Duty?

If I'd have to put it in a booth. It's kind of like Battlefield and CoD made a baby.

 

[Iceman]

Seen quite a few terrible reviews for this. I ordered it anyway as I had a really cheap deal. Hope it's good as the parts of the campaign I saw looked fine.

 

[Iceman]

Managed to cancel my preorder in time! Does anyone know what the sales were like for this? Rushing this out means EA may have thrown away the future of this title's chances to compete with the FPS big boys in future.

 

[Soapy]

Apparently during an EA conference call they described the sales as "disappointing" or "underwhelming" or something like that.

 

[SWAT]

Yea, there's been a huge drop off of players since last week too. If they don't fix the problems it's going to continue. I see a lot of the same players now too.

Too bad, because it's a fun game.

US Navy Seals punished for giving secrets to Medal of Honor game

 

[jacobed]

Ea should be punished for this abomination of a game. Embarassing.

 

[Soapy]

EA is pulling Medal of Honor out of their rotation.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

EA is pulling Medal of Honor out of their rotation.

Haha, thats what ya get for slapping together a beyond generic FPS and having it take place in a "Modern War".

 

[Iceman]

What a missed opportunity. But I'm not going to cry any tears for EA.

 

[jacobed]

Good.

 

[Balthus Dire]

I actually liked the newest MOH. I thought critics were unfair with their reviews.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I thought critics were unfair with their reviews.

Haha so did Peter Moore.

I only played the beta and wasnt fond of that, but i dont think it really mattered as iv pledged my allegiance to BF3 and im comfortable with that so itd have to take a really good modern warfare type game to pull me away.

I think the root problem with these last two Medal of Honor games is that it's painfully obvious the sole reason they exist is because EA doesn't want Call of Duty to go uncontested. I don't get the sense that anyone at any point was ever genuinely excited about these projects. EA knows they can't put out a Battlefield every year, and they know Respawn's thing isn't ready, so they rename EA LA (again) and get them to crap these things out.

Yea thats a good observation. Completely agree.
