Frag Crunch writes "Medal Of Honor was released today, and I was on my way to my local Gamestop and decided to call ahead first to see if the lines were long for the Medal Of Honor midnight launch. Well it seems that wasn’t the case."
I feel I must warn people.. Medal of honor shares none of its mechanics in common with call of duty or halo.. Controls are near identical as far as inputs but the actual mechanics of approaching the game is much different.. First of all those lone wolf modern warfare players are going to be chewed up and spit out.. YOu cannot run buck wild and get all kinds of kills.. YOu will be dropped, the maps are huge and there aren't alot of free standing structures to hide inside of... You have to move from rock to tree to hill etc and constantly be aware of your surroundings.. Once I realized this the game was a blast and I'm hooked.. Its far more balanced and not as glitchy or broken as modern warfare 2... Love the mp...
While the game is made by dice and it has the frostbite engine just like bfbc2 it still manages to obtain its own identity.. Sound wise this game has no parrallel but the controls are tight and the tension and adrenaline rush that you get running from cover to cover trying to flank or gain a better vantage point while bullets zing around you and explosions echo all around is just something to behold... I dont know I like this better then bfbc2 to be honest.
Im with you on that one.This is a great game and I couldnt stop playing at all when I picked it up.Great teamplay great SP cant go wrong with this game from the 9hours straight I played of it.Dont let people decide for you just buy because you want to.COD clone not in this lifetime.It has an identity of its own.Good job Dangerclose and Dice.
It's like if J.K. Rowling's rival said, "Oh yeah, you're writing another Harry Potter book? Well, I guess we'll see how well it stacks up to my Barry Rotter book."
Let's not argue over who would and wouldn't buy the game. Let's just say that EA wasn't making a game for gamers. It was making a game to counter Call of Duty, and that's why it looks so similar. I might not like Cod, but Cod has brought a lot of features to the table that other games will copy. Medal of Honor is one of those games. A gamer might as well stick with Cod.
I love games, but I didn't buy MoH. I own Bf:BC1, BF:BC2, CoD4, CoD:WaW and MW2....so give me one good reason why I should buy the new MoH, and tell me what is so different about it.
Medal of honor is far from a COD clone.. You cant lone wolf it and run around knifing everyone.. My favorite part of medal of honor is just how dislike cod it is.. NO perks means no unbalanced gameplay. It requires a tremendous amount of strategy and skill to be good in medal of honor and I love it.. You don't have a legion of trigger happy school kids that have ultra high hand eye coordination winning... If medal of honor is similar to anything I would say its closer in setup to M.A.G. but much more polish.. If you like socom or m.a.g. then you will love medal of honor.....
@BattleAxe: Will be the same reasons people in here will praise CoD:Black Ops as the second coming of christ. No matter if you'd seen it all. And I can guarantee, this game won't be getting a single 6/10.
See, I am not the slightest interested in Black Ops and I haven't seen videos nor followed up on the game, and yet I am convinced this will be the result. How would I even know with out looking at the game? CoD gets a free ride, I'll place a bet on that.
And why people ignore BC2/Vietnam if you like BF so much? Another fps. I like Dice's MP, though. I'm a bit tired of shooters, though. Haven't touched one in month.
I did and I'm enjoying it very much, it's not as smooth as call of duty and is miles behind bbc2 (multiplayer wise) but it is fun and that's what I look for in games :)
and so have a bunch of people on my friends list, so far after 6 hours of online play im enjoying it very much. I don't get the hate for this game. Then again people hate on everything.
I just freaked out with the reviews canceled it and pre ordered fallout new Vegas any body recomend anything ? Should I still get it or just get fallout
Get it.. Reviews are unreliable as they are ultimately weighted by someones bias.. No matter how professional they try to be a reviewers bias still affects their review.. Trust me medal of honor is a great game and you will find yourself sinking alot hours into the multiplayer...
Dude me too! got all shook up with the reviews and decided to get fallout instead, but I still plan on getting this eventually. If you really want MoH then by all means get MoH, don't let other people decide it for you.
Being a fan of the BFBC series,this game left me cold. As stated in a post above the game was "hyped" way to much. After pre-ordering it from the publisher to gain access to the beta and playing it ,I found it to be highly unenjoyable! I didn't cancel my order in hopes that the released game would be improved after reading others comments about the beta. But that hasn't been the case.
The good news is the Gamestop will give me the full price store credit if its still unopened. So I will cut my losses and take the store credit towards something else.
The other lesson I learned has been if a beta sucks,so will the released game! and that I will NEVER order direct from the publisher again not matter what they gaive you free with it!
i kinda feel bad for that gamestop employee, i wonder if anybody showed up at the midnight launch or if she was there all night for nothing. i know i would be pissed off and sleepy
When I heard about this game I said it was a day one for me after loving bc2 but from what I have heard about the beta and the reviews I don't know if I should get it. I got mw2 on day 1 n hated the game so not sure if ill like MoH plus with me already getting f1 fifa plus fable 3 rb3 gt5 forma ult and kinect out soon going to have far too may games to try n play. What you think ppl should I wait unti next year 2 pick up this game?
I bought Halo: Reach, I have MoH on ore order for Friday and I have Black Ops pre ordered. I'm a gamer, I enjoy first person shooters on PC, PS3 and 360 so why not buy them? Let the fanboys squabble and the real gamers game on!
Its a fun game don't let reviews sway you the MP is strong the single play needs a little tweeking but all around its a pretty solid game. I'm enjoying it
thi just goes to show that CoD is the new cool thing now mind you i bought and am happily enjoying MoH rite now i bet that if you asked 99% of CoD players what MoH was or anything about the series they would have no idea wat your talking about
Contrary to popular belief the game is doing quite well. Its not trying to be Cod or BC its Medal of Honor. No perks, No dog tags, No noob tubes just straight skill. Fun game to play.
@the_only...I agree the noob tube is more for providing that Oh shit moment and making opponents move out of cover/stop sniping. You can't dominate a match and kill 5 people within 300ft like in some other games.
I'm gonna go ahead and put this on my summer drought of 2011 along with dead rising 2,enslaved,lords of shadows and dragon age 2 dear god its gonna be a good drought next year
what is this junk, blogs are not allowed
none of your bezzwax<<<<LOL
Intriguing story and a nice change of pace is why I bought it.
No one picked up Medal of Honor.
