I don't understand why people are so happy about this game.
1.) This game is essentially designed to be in direct competition with Modern Warfare. This means that EA is not going to stray far from the same kind of gameplay, setting, even mechanics like the auto-aim.
2.) The plot of the game is probably going to be something that rivals MW2. Something about terrorism.
3.) Modern Warfare 2's campaign was an incoherent string of highly action-packed moments. The story was really loose. If EA is going to try and attract MW gamers to MoH, then they will probably pace MoH in the same fashion, cater it to gamers who are more interested in action than in story.
I believe this firmly because despite the fact that a lot of us on this site would say that we are not happy with Modern Warfare 2, a great deal more went out and purchased the game, and MW2 is a sales beast. So, I believe EA is going to say, "Hey, we can try and make MoH different from MW2 to appease the minority of people who voiced their criticisms of it, or we can make this game a lot like MW2 and attract the millions of people who went out and bought it."
What do you think EA is going to do?
Aside from my concerns outlined above, the trailer looks very good. The action looks appropriate, and the visuals are fine.
EDIT: Okay, I kind of forgot the whole reason why IW and Activision are douches. EA will probably have dedicated servers, but I'm keeping an eye out on the campaign length.
as much as i hate activision... this is a wanna be cod mw.... better graphics but thats it .... ea will make this good but after that they will milk modern wars dry... its already being done without them....
One may argue that the best of MoH dev's left to form IW. But...
the best of IW left with Grant Collier after CoD4. CoD has peaked and EA has decided to go on the offensive.
DICE seems to have learned from their mistakes and have realized just how influential the pc community is, even if we are the minority in market share. Realizing this, EA/DICE games have nowhere to go but up.
I love how everyone is already tagging this as a COD clone even though we have no idea what this game is like or will be about right now besides that it's a modern era FPS.
I'm with Panda, you guys are judging this game way too hard. You guy claim it is a COD clone, yet if the game was placed in WWII again you'd be crying about that too. The game looks great so far. Stop making assumptions then making judgments off you assumptions.
Are you new to this whole thing? Medal of Honor was the ORIGINAL warfare FPS series on consoles, and Call of Duty came after it, to do exactly what Medal of Honor laid out as groundwork. The things that the first Medal of Honor did in an FPS, nobody had ever seen on consoles before. Show some respect, because without Medal of Honor, Call of Duty wouldn't even exist in the first place.
All you people hating on MOH claiming it is a copy of COD get your facts straight COD didn't invent the genre. As a matter of fact it copied it. Infinity Ward was part of the MOH team on EA before they left and formed IW. It's time for MOH to take back the crown.
And please don't anyone talk about the story in COD MW2 cause there wasn't any. It was just a bunch of action setpieces loosly tied together by stupid and useless story telling. COD MW 1 was way better in that respect.
i really have to agree the graphics were good especially in the game trailers GOOD quality video the part where it shows the chopper in first person view shooting the rockets looked good game looks good
is the fact devs are learning how to get out the best of all systems with a single build to get something this visually impressive ... if that is on the frostbite which i bet it is.. man.. EA brings down the building .. MW2.. u got something up coming in ur rear.. and they mean business heck they have BC2 also.. shyt.. EA whats that crown from activision badly..
Oh god, just imagine when devs start using steam computing in modern GPU's effectively. You can in theory, have the power of like 3 PS3's on a single graphics card like the 5970 if you know how to do it :P
i had the first two MoH's so im excited for this MoH not a MW2 clone. MoH is older franchise then COD they going modern cause there last MoH didn't sell well as WW2 games.
EA seeing that there no MW3 in 2010 they feel that MoH can take FPS genre by force with the only completion being another EA game BFBC2 and COD7 by treyarch
That was my first impression upon seeing the VGA show last night. So it may look like a MW2 clone. IMHO there is nothing wrong with that. I'm sure they are looking at what people are complaining about with MW2 and won't make the same mistakes in the new MoH. I will be looking forward to seeing more on MoH in the coming months.
Look at it this way atleast its not set in WW2!and NO zombies please!!!
you never played MOH before. and if you did you'd know that COD cannot compete with moh. now that moh left behind ww2 and is going modern. that only means one thing good by cod. there is so many things the MOH team well do better than IW. they well make a game that is almost a sim with arcade style. hell people still play mohaa and that games way past its lifetime :puts mohaa cd on pc:
The trailer ended a bit early there, it didn't show the part at the end where the guy is tied up the in chair, and they see there's a bomb on him so they kick him forward and jump to the sides and he explodes XD
When I saw this, I wasn't real impressed.....I already bought the game (from early looks) that they're featuring in the trailer and it's called MW2....From that trailer, it's basically the same thing and I've never really enjoyed MOH games in the past so I'll pass but I don't share the same opinions as everyone (thankfully, would be a horribly negative way to live) so if it interests you, enjoy it when it releases
I feel the whole idea was to go after the MW2 fan base. Remember the next installment of CoD will not be a MW style setting.It will be set in a cold war ( korea? ) or vietnam . MW2 sold a heck of alot more copies than CoD/[email protected] did. Perhaps the new MoH will be more akin to BF/BC2 than MW2...we shall see.
Impressive graphics. I hope it has fully destructible(not really, of course) environment like BC2. It's visuals look nothing like that s**tty MW2. This looks way better, and without the over-abuse of bloom and over-bright effects.
In fact, that is what MW2 should've looked like. Be afraid, IW. Be very afraid. MUAHAHAHAHAHA......
IW,TREYARCH be very afraid because the king is back in vengance and will show activision how it should of been done considering that the cod franchise where shown the first time around on how it was done by EAs MOH series.There just here to show what where suppose to be playing not some overhyped game.I think that people are attacking this game because they where to young to have even played the MOH series or there scared that there precious cod has finally met its match by its prodeccesor.
It looks like a call of duty: modern warfare clone... Funny thing is Call of Duty was originally like a Medal of Honor clone, now they're back to return the favor maybe.... Graphics look good, but how much can this theme be pushed before it grows old... or will this be something still doing sequels 10 years from now?
I know I may be alone in my opinion on this but I have to ask. Does anyone miss WWII shooters? I know I sure do. I've always thought that they should do a remake of the D-Day landing level again from Medal of Honor (PS2)
So let me get this straight, your all claiming it's MW2 clone... because:
-It's in modern era -It's a first person shooter
I highly doubt MW was the first modern warfare game. After doing SOME research I found out the team behind this games multiplayer made 'Battlefield 2(!)'. Kinda ironic since infact one could claim that MW is a Battlefield Clone especially considering the fact that Battleifield 2 had unlockable weapons.
LOL!!! Neither did Halo wars or ODST,but you could put the word HALO on a brick and it would sell like mad.
Spec ops looked cool ,but i'll wait to I see more about it. It would have been interesting to have seen some thing on APB during the VGAshow last night.
This game will out do COD easily.Not on sales but the quality of the game.Not only was the clip AWSOME which I saw live from vga last night on spike not on some crappy youtube posting, but the fact that MOH have always had better more in depth war games but they all have challenging single player in there series.Unlike cod there series single player are always short and pretty easy.Yes it does look similar to cod franchise but I was more enetersted in this trailer then that of mw2.We are finally going to get a game of true quality and not of quantity sold.Without MOH theres no cod period.So technically what goes around comes around and EA is coming back to reclaim its thrown of how its suppose to be done the right way and not the overhyped way.So to all thos who are disrespecting EA and the MOH series RESPECT THE BALLS.
However I haven't seen enough to make any snap verdicts.
It looks good yes, better then MW2? not sure, I would say it looked slower in pace and the weapon model that flashed up in first person didn't look that great- but hey I didn't really see much so who knows.
I think it's great that there will be more modern day shooters, I loved the Rainbow Six Vegas entries and haven't been able to get enough of modern day hardware in games since then.
I say bring it on, EA have been getting good in recent years. Generally having a consistently high quality of production in their titles.
Ah! Your a gamer from my own heart! I love modern military sims also.As a fellow fan of RSV 1 & 2,I'm really looking forward to seeing what ubisoft has in store for future RS and GRAW/Ghost Recon games. Lets hope that this much to long dry spell from them will end soon.
Till then ,may I recomend Operation Flashpoint-dragon rising.Since your into the same types of modern combat shooters that i'm into you should like it....
This was by far the best premiere shown at the VGA. Followed by the sequel to Arkham Asylum and True Crime. Everything else was mediocre, or just didn't show gameplay.
Doesnt even look as good as COD, yet. Right now COD is the leader in FPS. Some have more realistic aim. Some are more user friendly. Heck there is some that even look better. But IMO the total package is MW2. I think the thing that pushes it up is the online community and all the online unlockables. The online is like crack you just want to unlock everything.
Is it just me or do the graphics look very cartoony? I really hope this is as good as it looks, I was so hyped about MW2 and it has been a massive disappointment, I'm bored of the MP already.
Your not the 1st person I heard say that about MW2.I still love the game ,but its NO CoD4 or BF/BC for that matter either. When you say "cartoony",did you see the video for crackdown 2? That really looked cartoony! I thought that Borderlands looks like that also,but hear the game play is excellent. Well I have it coming for xmas so we shall see.
Till then I look forward to:BF/BC2,Splinter Cell conviction,and hereing more about MoH.
Modern Warfare clone confirmed!!! lol i'm still gonna get it
Medal of Honor does better after the disgrace MW2 was to many PC gamers. and to get IW out of Apathy
Looks pretty fun.
Which reminds me. Know what my grandma did for fun when she was a kid? She pushed a hoop with a stick..
WITH A STICK
it looks amazing like an looks like DICE's frostbite engine is being outsourced all over EA's new games.. nice really
They missed the last part of the trailer.
Anyways, I'm reserving judgement until gameplay is shown. I really hope it is a tactical, team based infantry shooter
