Two words: Kick. Ass.

In b4 angry Internet Backdraft about "it copies Modern Warfare".

I've played the original. Here's to hoping it's able to match it.

Medal Of Honor came first. Besides, a lot of people have a soft spot for MOH.

...if they remember it at all.

Seriously, the original was fucking awesome.

I have good memories of Frontline, but the series went downhill from there.

Here's to hoping this game can bring the series back to its former glory.

Me and my brother were saying that Mo H needed to do something besides WWII. Their little brother (Co D) left it behind (partly, but the last WWII game they did was still good) and are probably wondering why they didn't do it earlier. A few days later I found out about this game.

He said it'll probably suck, but that has never stopped me from getting a game (Tales of Symphonia and both Bioshock games being two examples).

Frankly, I'd have liked to have seen the Korean War. It's at a middle point between WW 2 and modern warfare.

I played the original Medal Of Honor and I like to think it was more of Modern Warfare doing the copying.

Yes I hope it measures up to the first one in the name of Jimmy Patterson.

OK, open beta available now. Closes Friday.

Again?

Half-Life: Dual Nature, a crossover story of reasonably sized proportions.

If I remember correctly, the team that used to make the Medal Of Honor series went on to make Call Of Duty.

Ugh, a game set in the Korean War would've been the same as something set in the WW 2 Pacific theater. IIRC, Wa W was already done.

[rant] I've already seen people on forums complaining that this game only received an 8.1 on Game Trailers. FFS, people, do you really need a higher power to validate your predisposition towards a big-budget title before you play the damn game and decide for yourself? Of course they do, who am I kidding? It's the internet. [/rant]

As for me, I'm probably not paying for this, at least not until the price drops. Based on what I've played in the beta, it feels like a stripped-down version of Battlefield with better graphics, but fewer customization options and no vehicles.

No. They should've set it in WWI.

'Caus nobody ever does that.

My other signature is a Gundam.

WWI would be boring as fuck. Trenches, people dying, charges, people dying very very fast.

That said, they went the Call Of Duty route. I've played the game at the Fnac. Usually when "Islamic" Terrorists are mentioned I say "thises guys don't represent me". Here I will say These Guys Are Fucking Morons. Seriously, are the real-life oidiots like those NP Cs? 'Cause they were exceedingly stupid, and easy to kill. That wasn't a game, it was a shoot-em-up, it was worthy of Time Crisis for sheer amouns of stupidity.I went charging forward with a freaking shotgun, and, you know what, it was a viable strategy! This is ridiculous!

Also, I love the determined, constant Pertpetual Frowner look on their faces. They're the ancestors of the Angry Marines, for sure.

Morons.

'''YOU SEE THIS DOG I'M PETTING? THAT WAS COURAGE WOLF.Cute, isn't he?

Only if you set it in Passchandale (spelling? I hate French language). The rest of the war had a lot of varied battles. The Slovenian campaign along the Italy/Slovenia border, Gallipoli, the Middle East, the Russian Front (almost WW 2 levels of battle line mobility, to say nothing of the Red Revolution), among other places.

Necro Vision was set in WWI, I think.

It's basically the very definition of an FPS COD clone, every step of the way. It does almost nothing to distinguish itself aside from being set in the beginning of the Enduring Freedom campaign in Afghanistan and the few vehicle segments.

Remember that Call Of Duty was spawned from Medal Of Honor.

I still reiterate that the NPC's stupidity is truly remarkable. All you need is a little audacity to come up close with that shotgun, and a little skill at aiming and shooting it precisely and they die like flies.

Well, Acceptable Breaks from Reality? Rule of Fun?

So, anyone got the game? I got it, and it is petty damn good. Finished the campaign, and will start multiplayer this weekend.

I'd give it a 9 atta 10. And the knife is fucking awesome. Fuck MW 2's weak little pin-needle.

^ Weak? The Knife in Modern Warfare (both installments) insta-kills you even if it hits your bootlaces.

"Allah may guide their bullets, but Jesus helps those who aim down the sights."

No, I mean, the knife in Medal of Honour is a nasty bitch. In MW 2, yeah, you can kill a guy with a slash (or it looks more like a slap) to the ass, but in MOH, it actually looks like it hurts.

I'd like a FPS set waaaaaay back in Revolutionary War period. Not a mod of something, I want an honest for-real Revolutionary War (or heck, War of 1812 works, too) fought in first-person mode. Complete with historical battles, showing us jsut how screwed up life was back then during times of war (including getting to see what sorts of medical treatments were available back then and Valley Forge), all of that stuff.

Although multiplayer might be a pain. Fire and miss, time to bust out something sharp and pointy, or hope you can reload before the guy gets to you.

Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.

So did WW 2, but it still didn't stop most developers from recycling the same scenarios and mission types.
