Medal of Honor's developers are out of their depth

"For all their talk of creating a propaganda free game, EA has demonstrated with MoH that they are unable to marry big budget titles with current events in a mature way." writes NGG's Dylan Young.

[Game-ur]

At least they tried, with issues like these their never is ideal position.

EA can i just think 'Danger close' are meh and DICE clearly have there head in Battlefield 3 and BFBC 2

[foss3]

the single player was fun but overal meh. the multiplayer by dice however has surprised me by how fun it is and how well it's presented. that said i'm more looking forward to battlefield vietnam DLC.

[xGet_In_There]

Are you kidding me? The multiplayer is horrible. It is a camper infested sniper shit game. I played the single player twice because MP was so bad. May end up just going back to Battlefield. DICE fucked this MP up.

[xGet_In_There]

@danger

couldn't agree more. BFBC is a MUCH MUCH MUCH better MP experience than their "new" game. You can clearly tell they were in a hurry and are more worried about Battlefield 3. Besides some minor glitches I think Danger Close did a good job on the SP. I liked the story and felt "real".

[ReservoirDog316]

I think they did a good job from a mature standpoint. They gave full* credit and love to soldiers. There was nothing offensive about it.

[r0gueZA]

pompous, long-winded....horse shite article!

[morganfell]

Agreed.

The lead in for the article should say,"

"....writes 17 year old MW2 fan Deylan Young who has the mental depth of the kiddie pool and not a clue about game development."

[theonlylolking]

I think danger close should have done the whole game. I wish I could slide in multiplayer and have the same feel of gameplay I get in story mode

[Soldierone]

Totally agree and I think EA should of tossed more time to them too.

[ReservoirDog316]

Yeah I missed the slide and peaking mechanics. Was weird at first but I would've loved it in multiplayer.

[Wii360BeatsPS3]

They all want to be where COD is, all pretenders who will never make it.

COD owns Battlefield, MoH and every other FPS out there, and it also has time to own all the haters.

The numbers do the talking, the haters and the competition are IRRELEVANT. Even when they add monthly charges to COD it will STILL dominate all other FPS. And you bitch and moan because you know this is the truth and you can't handle it.

[Trunkz]

Or maybe your a fanboy (CoD owns Battlefield? lool)

To me, I think MoH tried and did "okay" and thats about all, but if Call of Duty tried to make their own Battlefield, I don't think they'd be able to compete with Battlefield series either.

CoD does what it's good at, Arcade style of FPS INF battles.
Battlefield does what it's good at, Arcade style of war INF + Vehicles.

MoH did not do great at what it tried to be - a realistic version of CoD but too much of it's game still didn't fly and ends up 7.5 which is good but not enough - If they make a MoH2 then they need to listen to the community much more so.

[jjank11]

yea, MoH was sold as a more tactical and realistic FPS but it does not really hit that idea straight on. It is very hit and miss. Especially when it is almost next to impossible to have teamwork in the game, people end up playing it like COD and it fails. MOH is more or less a poor mans version of BC2.

It does succeed in outdoing COD in gameplay though. COD is old and outdated. its pretty much the same since COD4.

[morganfell]

So mass numbers matter? The few people that fought to escape Jonestown were wrong and the 900 that drank the Kool-aid were right? There is a name for such people. They are called sheep.

Broad based skill that is a requirement for BC2 outright owns COD.

Take your little COD twitch shooting and come run Arma II and Arrowhead on our server and see how long you last.

As for MoH, they are working on it. It has been great so far, much better than COD4 or MW2. Patrick Liu just announced they are spinning up the first console patch to adjust the sniper abilities.

[Soldierone]

"even when they add monthly fees, it will still dominate"

Yeah if every COD fanboy has their head up their ass like this then it will. In that case actual gamers will not put up with it and find other games to play. Numbers do the talking if your not a real gamer.

[Weather]

. . .so swell, can't wait.

[Karum]

I REALLY enjoyed the SP portion of MOH, my only complaint is that it was way too short.

It ended and I was seriously disappointed because I was left wanting more which is a good thing but at the same time a bad thing too.

Sure there is multiplayer but I'll be honest, I suck at competitive multiplayer lol.

[jjank11]

hahaha.......Hilarious. COD doesn't even touch Bad Company 2 and I'm not going to even include other titles like Halo or Killzone. MOH is a great FPS experience but hopefully some of the MP issues will be addressed but I can tell you it is not the debacle and "more of the same" gameplay that the COD series presents. COD has grown old.

As for MOH, I think EA has stretched DICE way too thin. DICE just doesn't seem to get the creativity thing down right. BC2 is not all that creative but it 100% makes up for it in gameplay whereas MOH just seems to lack both the creativity as well as that swagger in gameplay. Don't get me wrong, it can be downright awesome at times but it is kind of unbalanced and can be completely atrocious at times.

[evrfighter]

CoD has never been able to touch a proper battlefield title. In fact mw, mw2, bc2. None of those STILL can't touch bf2 or 2142.

even 1942 for that matter.

for BF2

all 100% gameplay made possible by their video editor.

For you console gamers that don't know better. This IS Battlefield.

[gcolley]

BFBC1 beats out BFBC2 easily for both SP and MP. EA stuck their nose in with BC2 and it stinks of 'CoD beater' as it's only purpose. now MoH stinks just as bad. don't get me wrong still exclusively play them over CoD, i just prefer the first one both SP and MP.

[MonopolyRSV]

U.S. forces are illegal occupiers. Impeach Obama.

[jjank11]

haha, well I think that is the least of Obama's worries. Slamming socialism down our throats is his problem. With respect to the military, you'd have to impeach pretty much all our presidents since the late 70's and early 80's with regards to Afghanistan and even earlier with regards to the middle east. Its a sad story of pseudo American Imperialism

[mcstorm]

I loved the game but it is way too short. Story is really good the way it all pulled together but there is alot of room for improvements in the game too I think BFBC2 sets the bench mark for Modern FPS games and I think they will look at this in the next MoH game. Im not a fan of CoD games they just dont do it for me too arcade like with the loan wolf style of game play and the poor online.

I do think the new CoD game will out sell MoH as it seems to be liked by more people but im happy with MoH and Reach to keep me going until next year.

[Omar91]

im skipping MOH, instead ill wait till battlefield bad company 3 comes out

[gcolley]

battlefield 3 will be out way before bad company 3.

[gcolley]

big time
