    Reading through the Ea forums--"run as admin" is solving a lot of peeps problems.

    Just tried it there and have full server lists in the browser now.


    **Edit**Doesnt work.First time I tried it-it did and now back to no servers in the browser.

    I'm having no problems this evening. Matchmaking takes no time at all and I've not bothered opening any ports (have UPnP enabled).

    Must say the matchmaking is probably the fastest ive ever seen.
    Literally 2 seconds and im joining a game,closely followed by a rapid map load of no more than 5-10 seconds.
    I am finding it too easy to kill/die, almost like hardcore from COD etc.

    tried a few different servers, sniperspam on every single one. Other than that its pretty good. The aiming is a little too forgiving but yeah could imagine myself playing it for extended periods of time :)

    I've only tried two rounds, both on that Chinook map, Shahikot mountains or the like.

    It seems to have a very different feel to Battlefield, it is more camping-biased, but on the plus side taking ground and moving forward seems harder fought and more rewarding when you do. I really don't like the small tight linear maps though, something that was a flaw in Bad Company 2 as well. I can't see it having anywhere near the longevity of a proper BF/CoD title though.

    Unless of course it is adopted by a competitive community and decent leagues are formed.

    If they make it suitable for matchplay it could run :)

    killcams are for noobs...step up to the mark dude ;)

    I like it...getting some great kill streaks in it thanks to flanking around the enemy :D

    anyone know if your stats from the beta carry on to the full game like BC2 did?

    and before I forget....if you're running SLI/Xfire then rename the Moh.exe to BFBC2.exe or whatever the BC2 exe is..this allows xfire to be properly used.

    camper my bollix joe...you were the worst in COD4..lying prone in a corner and not budging for the entire game...think you joined that noob clan didn't you?
    bad enough with one camper but when the whole fúckin clan were doing it was painful..

    Sure keep telling ur self that for the record never camped in my life...Run and Gun is me

    It just I handed u our ass...Can't help it if I move faster that u in game its not hard...considering u don't move.

    Anyway , Back to MOH, still undecided . Hard game to judge , Feels smooth , Kills are good but Life spawn will more than likely be short.

    And still don't know if the map sizes will remain as small as in the beta .

    I played it. Way too many choke points with large well covered concave's around them. Gives the defending team a huge advantage. Got to a point where it was next to impossible to move forward. Fire in a 120" arc from snipers and heavy machine guns in cover meant insta gib. Don't think I will be buying this.

    BFBC2 had far wider maps with more choice for cover flanking and destructible cover, MW has the advantage of small maps, twitch shooting and nades to alleviate camping. MOH has none of this.

    Camping is a tactic best served cold!

    Depends on the game mode. If its objective based in COD* then expect defenders. If you didnt defend your flag in CTF for example then the game would be pointless. Its takes teamwork to defend a flag and also to steal it, makes for better games.

    John Rambo doesn't need a kill-cam...just a .50 cal and he's off ;)
    I found attacking can be easy as well...there's always a way around which no one is defending and you can take several of the enemy out thus giving your team-mates a chance to rush em

    Dice are currently gathering a list of potential points for improvement here:

    http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/medal-honor-series/1361951-top-3-improvements-list.html

    There's a curious one though: Killcams won't be on by default, but for anyone whose KDR hits 4/1, the killcam would be activated for them alone.

    My wants would be:

    Strafe Sprint
    Killcam
    Cap on classes (played a level earlier with at least 6 snipers, we couldnt even take the helicopter in the rush level)

    Must admit to liking it the more i play.
    I thought id find flaws the more i played.
    If the maps are good it should be a decent game- until black Ops arrives atleast :)

    Went on and played for the first time, some snowy moundtain thing. 8v8 or 9v9 i think it was.

    I'm drunk as I've been out at Oktoberfest all day, but still managed to come top with 18/5

    Thats not to say Im great at it, just the weapons seem a bit overpowered.

    I had 2 sniper rifles..1 was quick fire..took 3 shots (no recoil btw/ semi auto) to kill somoene
    The other was an M24...which was 1 shot..anywhere it seemed = 1 kill.

    I just ran around like as if it was a KAR98 sniper in mohaa, for anyone who played knows the thing was lethal....so im sure they;ll tweak it to headshot only.

    Aside from the above

    -Gameplay was very smooth - smoother than BC2 and MW2
    -Graphics were very nice - no visible lag
    -Connection settings seemed excellent - in a game within 15 secs of clicking 'find game'
    -Weapons had a nice feel - sound was great

    Bad side
    -Weapons are overpowered
    -Whole thing seems as if its Hardcore - not big minus though
    -didnt have a clue what UAV/Support action I had
    -menus were a bit funky
    -seen some still dead figures lying about, as if map hadnt refreshed
    -seems very suited to a camping style of play for those "RUSH" maps or whatever they're called, there seem to be loads of chokepoints and the maps are quite small and narrow....2-3 defenders with M24s ..or M95s...not sure which...will easily hold a whole team at bay.

    Mind, I only played 1 map, drunk, at 1.30 am, so...ill give it another go tomorrow and see if my original assessment still holds up.

    However, I CAN see me playing this for a good while, as long as they make some improvements to it

    Releasing the beta for a few days just before launch is a bit strange tbh, sure what changes can they hope to achieve? If they called it a demo then maybe. However I think its a bit crap, and after seeing how Dice supported BFBC2 I'll be leaving well alone.

    Dice said the beta was more a server stress test than anything else according to the official forums.
