Medal of Honor Warfighter is a glitchy game. There's no getting away from it, it has its campaign issues when it comes to player control, I experienced it and needless to say, you either have or would too.
Sometimes its the small things such as grabbing ammo from your buddies that can be the biggest pain. Try holding X whilst moving to a colleague, nothing will happen unless you do it whilst attached to their pants. Yes this should ruin the game but somehow it's forgiven.
For 2 years now, I seem to have developed a love affair with Medal of Honor, god knows I can't explain it - let's face it who could? Only on the campaign mode of course, I couldn't face playing it online as it would likely remind me of Dragon Rising and nobody needs that online experience bouncing around their mind. Just what is it that makes me want to play this game? Well..
The last MOH was a lot better thats a fact. It was the first one I ever entertained but felt driven to try it. I only popped when the helicopter started landing in the desert on the dusty trail full of terrorists ready to 'pop a cap'. Before that, I wasn't a fan, in truth I am less of a fan today, than yesterday, it simply wasn't as good as the last either visually or via game play.
It was however, worth buying. Now I realise these 2 conflict, but lets be honest, we have all played worse games than something released in 2012 by EA. It is the black sheep of EA's FPS, you can tell it a mile off. It's as if someone segregated a boy and girl in love and demanded they no longer speak to each other, it's part of what I love about the game. Someone told battlefield to bog off.
Even through its awkwardly slow movements, it won't let you just go 'sod it' and turn the console off. Maybe you will also sit there hoping for more as I did. It doesn't really ever come 'in game' that much I assure you, yet, you will hardly be able to walk away either.
Another thing that stood out, is how bad they are at reproducing childrens faces, it was a bad ellie only slightly younger, yet the mother was actually really well developed. I found that extremely strange, as if they had to say 'the mum's done screw the kid'. Why EA, I need to be at peace with this...
Graphically too, it was a little challenged. Through the awkward movements and chasing every other guy around for ammo (why do they have all the ammo? it makes no sense), RPG's thundering past your head that do little damage, only to warn you, the guy waiting for you is on the other side of the map and you need to do something differently, hello! It all felt somewhat awkward compared to the last edition.
It was also quite batmanesque. A little too dark throughout the entire game as a whole and considering how bright the airport and desert scenes were in the last installment, I was somewhat sick to death of being a child of the night, it certainly didn't ring out as the best work from this development team. At times, you would be forgiven for wondering if they had actually played and reviewed their own game. Well did you?
I felt like they should probably have nipped it in the bud at the last one, yet, I must admit the firefights were pretty damn glorious, in fact the gun responses were where this game actually excelled. In fact, if all FPS played with the gun responses online, that MOHW can achieve in campaign, I am sure none of the pad throwing seen in recent times would even happen anymore.
It's not THE greatest game I ever played, COD4 still holds that title both online and off, however, it is reasonably comfortable when push comes to shove, it's not bad at all. I would love to heap praise on the game but it would be based more on the last rendition and I wouldn't be totally truthful if I had. It still brought a tear to my eye with the final scenes, something I can't escape.
I say, go and buy it either way, even if it's just to test out the campaign and then pass it on...
7/10
There is plenty of room in our gaming lives for more Battlefield 3, more Bad Company and many more military first-person shooters from EA, the giant game publisher's number two boss told Kotaku this week.
starting to get sick of Japan's love obsession with swords and pink haired men.
See what I did there?
EA makes enough different types of games to please everyone. Just off the top of my head they have SWTOR, Mass Effect, Command and conquer, need for speed, battlefield, sports games, dead space, and many others.
im already tired of military shooters, i only play shooting games that are different from the rest i mite give the new ghost recon a break and try it out and 2010's medal of honor was pretty good
DANG I WAS HIGH OUTTA MY MIND WHEN I WROTE THAT IT DNT MAKE SENSE BUT HEY I GAT 2 MORE CHANCE TO REDEEM MYSELF :D
I thought that ea was going to reveal the DLC for B3 last week?
My only hope is that they optmize Frostbite 2.0 to the fullest by the time MOH and Bad Co 3 drops since its still buggy in its current state. Bad Co 2 is still the better game in terms of overall balanced gameplay compared to BF3 in its current state.
The return of Tier 1.
Electronic Arts has announced that the press officers at the Game Development Conference 2012 will be unveiled the newest game in the Medal of Honor.
While many now cite as the Medal of Honor 2, the announcement that ticket will publish below Article suggests instead a subtitle that will be used to diversify ilnuovo share compared to previous ones, because a true second chapter has already been published some years ago, while this is a relaunch of the series by Danger Close with the support of DICE.
After our greedy anticipation that you can read in this article , the wait is catalyzed throughout the event to show that EA has announced the title. Being an event dedicated to developers and their programming techniques, it is likely that it will also unveiled the new Frostbite 2.5, admired the evolution of Battlefield 3.
I hope whatever they are doing with this MoH is better then the first one. Don't get me wrong the first one wasn't that bad. I just hope they really put sometime in to this one and make it a lot better.
I really enjoyed the campaign in the first one, I thought it was really well done, but the online felt far different then the campaign. It was more like a Bad Company game. I was a bit thrown off because you could go prone in the campaign, but not in the online.
I still had fun with it, bought the game when it was on sale for like $10 and had some good times with it.
I just want the original Jimmy Patterson back, kicking bunch of Nazis with lone wolf-style with addition great soundtrack of Michael Giacchino. *sigh*
I really hope Danger Close does both parts of the game. The single player gameplay/sound/and art style were a lot better than the multiplayer done by Dice. Dice ruined that game IMO.
Yea pretty much but played the demo did not feel it one bit So 1 day hoping 4 black 2.
Product-Reviews writes: Medal of Honor was given a mixed reception by gamers, although criticisms were made at the rather short duration of the single-player campaign. Having said that, the content within was very good, so fans will be hopefully that a sequel contains a much more deeper campaign, while DICE will probably just build on the successes of Battlefield 3 to make multiplayer as exciting as BF3.
As long as it's got Frostbite 2 running the show, I think it's fair to say that it's gonna be pretty awesome....Interested in getting this for sure.
I hope they do not go in the direction of BF3. I found the story quite refreshing. They just need to have technical improvements (was some issues in MoH) and improve the voice acting and characters. Multiplayer was ok but I hope the focus is more on single player
*Make the campaign longer
*Have Single player co-op(the story and game mode plays exactly the same, but the second or + players, have no relevancy to the story their just there to help, seeing that in most cases the A.I. becomes more difficult)
*Keep the "Kill Chain" concept, I actually liked it better than a kill streak, seeing that it gives you the option to either help yourself or help your team
*Be cool if they can push the same, if not better visuals but with the FrostBite 2 engine, it'll be realism at its best
*Dont claim it to be a COD killer, reason being is that "Why would anybody want to compare their work of art to a piece of sh!t?...
*And more open stages last game barely had two
*and more guns, on top of the guns that are being thought of.... And attachments
*Need weather, snow, heat, rain, fog, etc...
*Vehicles, last one only had a tank, but in the single player mode there was an ATV...
*Bullet drop, and wind influence for snipers and what not(not really needed but cool concept
*More guns
*Flash bangs, incinedary, pellets, etc ( need variety) and being able to "Cook" a grenades
*Another ultra bad ass "Your/We're not getting out of this alive scene" I thing "BLACK" was the first game to do it (single player) with the sad/dramatic music playing like how the last one did, with the "PLR" rushing down the hill... But instead in a different situation and location... I personally like those types of scenes...
*Keep the Cruise Missile, along with its particle affects
*PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT NOOB FRIENDLY!,WE NEED MORE HARDER GAMES WITH WHATS LEFT THIS GEN
*Smarter A.I., and none of that "Endless Spawn" crap that other games do...
*Decapitation/Dismemebering only to LIVE soldiers that are running around, I think some people would find it disrespectful for someone to be able to disrespect the virtual dead representation of their nations soldiers (not needed, but would be cool)
*Some Johnny Cash... Play the stage "Rock and a Hard Place" on Batlefield 3 while listening to "Gods Gonna Cut You Down" or "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, you'll see what I'm talking about lol
*Special unlocks for old and complete previous MOH
*A living environment
*The Barret .50 cal should be a "one shot kill" if it hits an enemy anywhere... The damn thing can be used to take down boats and sh!t... fyi-Im no sniper, would play recon but not my thing
*For the hell of it, put a paint ball mode in it
*A virtually space, that acts as a shooting range
/////Well thats all I can think of right now, some of this stuff is bit of a stretch but it'll be cool to have some of this features\\\\\
The two Cash songs you picked out are actually my two favorite songs by him, which is quite weird :P
May I add pre game lobbies to the list? I agree with your post so I'm not gonna type something that would look very simular.
they need co op story and more work on the no respawn mode to stay away from bf..... MOH controls so much better then bf online
