This seems to be the case with most Modern shooters.
COD:MW2/MOH/BC2 (did anyone even try the Bad Company 2 campaign ?)
I take it as a given that if I buy an FPS for the PC, that multiplayer will be a huge if not the main aspect of the game.
The only ones in recent memory I can think of that dont hold true to this are Half Life 2 and Bioshock, maybe Crisis.
People have already condemned this, which i find unfair. Im looking forward to giving it a good and fair go with my clan on our server, I'll make my mind up then
I primarily play FPS titles so I'm quite disapointed with the way things are going. I don't think there's anything better than an engrossing FPS title with a good story and its quite poor that the SP aspects of these games are now being treated as some sort of "tutorial" for online.
BfBC2 single player was actually quite entertaining so it can be done that the SP provides some sort of entertainment regardless of its online features.
When I buy a title, I buy it primarily for the entertainment and the option to sit down and enjoy a good SP experience when I want. I do not appreciate the current trend of sticking SP in as an afterthought.0 -

MOHAA was the first title worth even talking about tbh
Not exactly. The first MoH was a damn fine game and a much much better single player game than Goldeneye. It's probably dated a bit though. MoH:AA was however well ahead of anything else when it came out, single player and multiplayer.

It really was a great game. I remember just seeing it by chance after it came out and bought it, played it to death! Didn't really like the 2nd one at all but I generally don't have a soft spot for games where you play as a female lead (weird thing to say I know, but I just can't take an FPS seriously knowing I'm playing as the opposite gender - it just doesn't have that same "i'm kicking ass" feel to it
) 0 -

I got it and LOVE it something I just like about it, I know its no COD but still its kinda slick, and the MoH frontline bonus is a nice touch, Haven't played online yet but the only drawback is its very short but when you think of it as long as the storyline is quality rather then quantity i'm a happy man 0

I was the same, in two minds as to whether to get it over all the negative reviews. Quite happy I got it though, as I said it is a solid shooter and the first 3 missions have been quite fun to play through (looking very forward to the Apache).
There's certainly nothing so far that has given me any negative impressions like what I've been reading on various forums. Its an action packed FPS, it doesn't re-invent the wheel or anything but its a good blast to play. Weapons feel nice and pack a punch, and I don't know what game people were playing when they said the weapons didn't have recoil because they do.
I'd recommend it anyway if you're a fan of the genre, seems like it will be an enjoyable experience to play through for this weekend at least before Fallout New Vegas comes along to eat my free time.
P.S:Try stabbing a dead enemy a few times on the ground. The animation of it is vicious looking0 -

Well that settles it. i shall pick it up tonight in Dundrum
i wasnt expecting it to be mind blowing, as long as it was similar enough to MW2 and other COd id be happy, i wasnt expecting miracles and previews seemed great.
i have been waiting for Oct 22nd for god knows how long now, FONV cannot wait for it!0 -

Yeah I think you'll find some enjoyment in it anyway. Last thing I did was race an ATV across the desert at night so its probably got a few things like that which will hold your attention. One thing I would suggest is to play it on Hard - not impossible to deal with the enemies but its a good challenge and makes you think out your attack a bit more.0 -

Played multiplayer for an 90 mins or so on PC, really enjoyed it.
Its basically the latest beta polished up a tad and a generous collection of maps.
So refreshing to play a modern fps that requires care and attention, run and gun in this MW2 style and your history.
Be clever with your movements,have decent awareness of whats going on and actually play as if it was a battle and the game is very rewarding.
Some game modes are better than others as usual but basically comes down to personal taste.
The weapons feel dangerous and powerful as they should be, as an infantryman you feel vulnerable when you know the enemy have these powerful weapons at their disposal as it should be.
No childish perks to save your ass here.
Im a long time fan of fps games with a touch of realism, i quite enjoy, Day of Defeat Source,Insurgency [HL2 realism mod],Red Orchestra, i havent played Arma 2 in anger yet but i believe its uber realistic.
While MOH could do with more recoil in the guns the game does a great job of depicting war and small infantry battles.
The game fills you with a sense of danger - virtual danger ofcourse
Im not saying this is as realistic as the fps titles i mentioned above , certainly the lack of recoil and bullet drop emphasizes this point but the fact that you simply have to thread carefully and at a slower pace to the likes of MW2 helps to make it feel like your playing something a lot more realistic than the usual fps offerings of late.
Im sure the game is not for everyone but im a firm believer of making my own mind up about games, quite a few times i dismissed games on the strength of others views and reviews only to take the plunge and purchase later on and wonder why on earth i didnt get it earlier.
God knows if the game has lasting appeal but for now im enjoying playing a new fps that actually has a dash of realism to it.
Dare i say it it feels similar to the old school PC fps games PC gamers are used to, cant be a bad thing imo
Just make sure you change the default FOV in the config and turn of Bloom.0
