Medal of Honor

i was never a fan of battlefield, maybe i wont like online.

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.

What system are you playing it on man? When I started it this morning on 360 I was prompted for an update. Not sure if this did something, but both weapon recoil and a small amount of noticeable bullet drop (with sniper rifles) are definitely present in it.

Playing on PC, i havent tried sniping yet so cant comment on bullet drop for sure in fairness,i didnt notice any in the beta.
Recoil is there but its very little compared to BC2 or the games ive listed already.
Im not seeing much difference in recoil compared to the beta, pc got an update yesterday but no mention of recoil.

I paid 50 for it in gamestop - luckily i had a voucher.

Its a good game - nothing amazing and not terrible. Story mode is very repetitive except for the odd vehicle sequence. Multiplayer is great but a little to hard at times (or maybe im just crap)

Its 39.99 in Gamestop but it's an online offer only!

Yeah there is defo some there with the sniper rifles, was playing mission 2 (aircraft graveyard) earlier and dropped a few guys a distance away with raised shots. Recoil feels just right, not too crazy and not too unrealistic either.

getting bad reviews

That doesn't matter, this is one game you can ignore the reviews for and make your own mind up on. Too many people putting it down because they were expecting some life changing experience out of it. Personally, I think its great.

I got it on the Xbox360 in xtravision for €55 euro.
I have played two missions on the hardest level and it is boring sh1te.
This is not even close to CODMW2 the graphics are poor the whole thing looks nasty. the AI is rubish the Taliban just sit there waiting to be shot its just awful. I may try it online and see if the second team got it any better but I cant see myself spending weeks online like I did with CODMW2

Its been said countless times in this thread, single player uses a different engine than the multiplayer.
Play MP to see the better visuals.

I think its very good anyway. about an hour or so in.

What button is to fire? Is it R1 or R2 and can it be changed? Anyone who bought it care to check for me?

Thanks

I was hoping this game would show the true potential that MW2 could have been but
the campaign mode was terrible, limited movement around the map, to many segments of no gun action watching other people do the killing while your guns are not active, cant climb anything have to get a "buddy boost" for them all, gets very teadious and the graphics are very poor.

the multiplayer is very laggy, maps are designed for everyone to just longrange snipe, and for some odd reason if i pull my trigger twice i automatically swing my knife, very frustrating and the hit markers are even worse than MW2....

and in a 2 hours spell had 2 games drop connection to server, and 4 times when i wanted a break from the campaign and tried to go to the multiplayer the servers were unavailable... all in all it adds up to a terrible experience..

I'm afraid this one goes back to the shop tomorrow....

this game is good, not great but good. when people said it was short i didnt realize how short they actually ment. i just finished it there after playing it casually for a few hours. there are a few too many glitches and general roughness for my liking but it didnt take away too much from the game.
it is fantastic to see frontline in HD. i loved that game when it first came out and it is nice to revisit.
as for the multiplayer, i have not given it a go yet but i will tomorrow.

in all this game is alright, nothing amazing. it will keep me going until next friday when i give up a good portion of my life to fallout:NV.

marko93

Anyone else having problems with Frontline add on?
When i try to install it i get
"An error occurred during the install operation. (8001002B)

Anyone know what the F**K is going on?

*on a completly off topic note WOOOOO 400th post ^^ *

I take back what I said earlier about it being great. The multiplayer is annoying me now as it's too similar to BFBC2 and its flaws.

There are too many quality shooters about to take a risk on this IMO, Black Ops is just around the corner and is looking top notch, with more features than MOH, I'm holding out for that.

I hope black ops fails mainly because the whole COD thing is getting out of hand.. With Sledgehammer games taking over for MW i can see it defintaly failing.. Black ops will be class though

Grumpypants

I don't get the negativity i've broken it down as follows.

Single player
Better than MW2 SP? Yes
Better than BFBC2 SP? Oh god yes but thats not hard.

Are the three of them ridiculously short ? Yes

Multiplayer

Is it better than MW2? Yes. But again not hard MW2 was pretty awful.


Is it better than BFBC2 Multiplayer ? It is BFBC2 multiplayer only on smaller maps. I prefer that personally but i would say its the same if anything.

So out of the 4 categories its better in 3 of them, if reviewers are giving battlefield and MW2 scores of over 90% then how did this get 60-80% from a lot of them??

agree this shocking game on MP
guns and graphics are poor
when running u are like a camera an screen moves so hard to aim
its more less same as BFBC2
comparing this top black ops is like comparing poor guy to a rich guy
very hard to see the enimies
trading it in asasp
cant wait for black ops
end of

Hmm glad I did'nt get this,think I'll save my money for fallout new vegas on friday.

Hate to be a hater but this is one of the most clearly rushed out games I have ever played. Loads of pics from me playing last night that show bugs, glitches, ugly textures and more. Had to restart 2 separate areas because the NPC team mates weren't doing what they were meant to and the game wouldn't move forward. They are basically moving invisible walls. Strangly I'm still enjoying it, really like the skid into cover move.

argos are doin it for 43.99, there usually gud for new games in the first few weeks of release they knock a fiver or tenner of the usual price, tesco havent a clue bout pricing, all their games are 60+

iggy

Just started this. Is there a way to change the controls that when I press up the camera looks up. ( if u know what I mean?)

When I press up the view looks down. I prefer the opposite way.

patch

Pop into controls and invert the x axis, save.

Was playing some of it this morning.

Personally, I'm enjoying it. The graphics are a bit dogdy (bad textures etc) but the sound effects more than make up for this to me.
I always hated the sound of the guns in MW2, they sounded shíte. Much better in MoH, really vicious and deep sounding. I think this makes it way more atmospheric.

I agree with RAIN about it being rushed, I've experienced the NPC not moving as well which, coupled with the dodgy textures makes me think they really just wanted to get it out before Black Ops. Hopefully they'll patch it soon.

I'm just starting the Apache bit and have enjoyed it all so far though. Despite it's flaws I just find it more absorbing than MW
