IGN E3 2010: Medal of Honor Multiplayer Preview

Though EALA is doing the single-player for Medal of Honor, it's DICE (makers of Battlefield: Bad Company 2) handling the multiplayer component. While the expectation may be for DICE to offer up Battlefield's multiplayer with a different coat of paint, that's not the case at all. Medal of Honor's multiplayer certainly has elements of DICE's design heritage, but it's more about ground infantry combat. The battles, 12-on-12 online matches featuring special forces versus insurgents, are intense and brutal. You die quickly thanks to "faster bullets" as DICE describes it, and a lack of health packs. This is war. Good luck surviving.

the thing I hate about Activision/Treyarch is that there loyalty to xbox 360 and $$$ expensive dlc packs till 2012 for Call of Duty franchise is definately gonna alienate gamers and thats the reason
EA games such as Medal of Honor, BFBC series are gonna outshine these aholes cuz

1. First they give tons of stuff for free and care about players.
2. Best Dynamic Sound Effects ever.
3. Beautifull maps.
4. They don't act like dicks (Activision).

I've seen MOH and instead of buyin COD:Black Ops, Im gonna buy something different of the same (Medal of Honor) ... at least I wont be noobtubed like you do in COD with killing streaks.

Gago5085d ago

its sounds alot like MW2

which is a good thing,

but why?

DirtyLary5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

MW2 done right. Don't mind it being a clone with that.

No more tiny rat maze maps that allow the enemy to spawn on you if you don't rotate around the map fast enough.

NY_State5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

So even tho the lead platform is the PS3 and the demo was played on the PS3 the link for this story goes to the 360 IGN section. FFFFFUUU IGN. If the MP plays anything like BFBC2 I won't be picking this up.

NY_State5085d ago

Checkout the MP video it looks like they have change many of the things that I didn't like about BFBC2 MP. What I want is the fasted pace action of MW2 MP but with none of it's fucked up issues.

bruddahmanmatt5085d ago

As much as I am anti-killstreak I like what DICE decided to do here. Rather than award bonuses based on the number of kills you've racked up (which is a completely individual achievement) they dole them out based on the score you accumulate for the duration of your survival. That means that if you're capturing bases and supporting your team, you still rack up points and you still get access to the bonuses. In other words, you don't end up with a game where everyone is in it for himself in an attempt to get the ubern00k.

jjohan355085d ago

let's just hope they don't recycle the same maps over and over like Bad Company 2. Otherwise thumbs up.

its like the best bits of COD4 with the awesome sound design of DICE and Frostbite.
*drool*

EA could have something here as long as they realize MW 2 weak points and improve upon them in Medal of Honor. For starters this game better feature dedicated servers for all platforms. That should vastly improve the gameplay experience. There's nothing worst then those annoying host switching message in the middle of a heated match.

NY_State5085d ago

BFBC2 suffers from some lag issues but nowhere near the level of MW2. Didn't experience any migration issues or disconnects. It was pretty solid from what I remember but my experiences could have been different some someone else. This was the PS3 version.

Bolts5085d ago

MW2 suffered serious migration issues at launch, it's not as bad now but there are occasional hiccups and I can still tell when it's happening. I'm totally spoiled by dedicated servers in PC games and Killzone 2. The experience should be seamless and dedicated servers is the only way the ensure that. I do like being at the mercy of some kid interrupting my game because his mom told him it's time for dinner.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger8825d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH24d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan24d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus520d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled520d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_92520d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000520d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH520d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad520d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.
