Activision you officially have competition – Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor multiplayer was unveiled for the first time at E3 2010 yesterday. As much as it was a coming out party for the new old franchise, it was a warning shot over the bow at Infinity Ward and Treyarch. The demonstration at Electronic Art's E3 Press conference was impressive, displaying what appeared to be a fluid and very competitive offering when stacking it side by side with either of Activision's latest games: Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops...

[Batzi]

yea right... that's what they said about BFBC2. dude MW2 is untouchable for years to come. When they reach what COD4 achieved come and tell me there is a competition. BS.

[FanboyAttack]

I played BFBC2 this weekend it was laggy crap.

[math]

COD and BFBC are both laggy as crap at least on XbL they are.

[Conloles]

This is gonna be awesome on PC, DEDICATED SERVERS FTW!!! Ea you may gladly have my money Activision rot in hell

[deadpoole]

Im gonna buy Medal of Honor this winter ... cuz COD game are now Same shit different year.

Plus Ea/Dice gives lots of content for free and take care of there players. Activision is just after $$$ and its gettin crappy as hell. Maybe if they'll release native 720p 60fps game in future ... then only Ill consider otherwise Activision can kiss my a$$.

[InfectedDK]

I will get MoH this time instead of CoD..
Btw CoD Modern Warfare 1 is still fun..

[RedSky]

Look at the multiplayer gameplay clip on GameTrailers.

It seems to play exactly like CoD4, complete with noobtubes and the same overpowered weapons so you really don't have to aim so much as spray in the general direction of someone to score a kill. Screw firing off a couple of shots at a time, just hold down the trigger.

Guess everyone's realised that going after the casual gamer who expects to get easy kills with no practice is the path to financial success.

Pass.

[BeaArthur]

It already surpassed it in quality. It will probably never surpass it in sales but it has already passed it in quality.

[Gawdl3y]

+Bubbles for well said.
Of course, virtually anything passes MW2 in quality.
COD4 was great, but MW2 sucked hard.

[ElementX]

Both MW2 and BFBC2 have pitiful graphics. After the other blockbusters, it was like playing a last gen game. Graphics aren't everything but in the case of these online war games I think it ruins the immersion.

*EDIT*
Killzone 2, Hell I think Fallout 3 had better graphics, Bioshock.
BFBC2 textures look awful up close. You crouch behind something and it's grainy and pixelated.

[NY_State]

Name one other FPS that had better graphics than BFBC2. I'll wait for your reply.

[DA_SHREDDER]

Finally have some competition? Modern Warfare is like playing in little league. Ive already forgotten about the COD series. Been playing games like MAG, Bad Company 2, and soon KZ3(if they fix the lag in the controls) Socom 4, Crysis 2, and Ghost Recon. Its like watching Kimbo Slice try to fight Broch Lesnar.

[IaMs12]

pshhh that multiplayer had a hint of CoD, hint of BC2 at the same time and thats what im looking for. It also looks to have some epic battles happening too.

I really hope they keep the MoH feel to it, although its modern warfare its always had a certain feel about to it that i just come to love.

[eemoemo52]

FPS will die a slow painful death from overkill

[math]

Yeah right, FPS will be around forever.

[poe]

I agree there is some overkill but it will not kill FPS. The weaker developers will wither and die and the strong will survive to put out games like Killzone, Halo, COD, and BF. We'll see if MOH lives up to the hype.

[HarryM]

FPS will only get bigger..

[LastDance]

just looked like COD to me.

[FragGen]

It's like the 1v1 Fighting games were in the 90's: It'll get crazier and crazier until it gets over-saturated at which point it'll peak, decline, rebound and finally plateau to a nice healthy level with a core player base and some long standing franchises that continue to evolve.

Shooters are ALWAYS going to be a key genre in video games even when technology changes the medium. It's too fundamental a game type to go away completely but nothiing is the flavor du jour forever.

[poe]

Ghost Recon trumps all military games in 2011.

[Mista T]

looked boring

[DoomeDx]

not buying it.

knowing EA, their servers will lag, and they WONT fix it.

EA = lost my money, and a lot of others to

[Gawdl3y]

Get the PC version, much better.
Community-run dedicated servers almost never lag.
Same way with CoD4 on PC and BFBC2 on PC.
PC is in general a better system for gaming, and is cheaper in the long run, but costs more up front.

[DoomeDx]

My pc can handle it,
but i cannot accept what EA is doing for console gamers

laggy servers, and VIP codes are bullshit.

EA sucks, period.
i wont buy an EA product because they suck ass

[IaMs12]

laggy servers yes i agree but i really do like the VIP codes. It entices people to buy new, in the long run saving money on Map packs, and it also doesnt hurt any player who buy it used as they would have to buy the map packs though. You have to do that with CoD and other games regardless used or new. The only thing tho that some of them are on the disk already for BC2.

[MGRogue2017]

Medal of Honor will shit all over Modern Warfare 2! :)

Bad Company 2 has already done the same already.. Still currently doing so, actually. :D

[HarryM]

That's why even Gears of War 2 is beating Bad Company 2 in terms of Unique Users on Xbox Live?

[IaMs12]

It doesnt have to be just XBL you know... there are 2 other systems that play the game

[BeaArthur]

I hope GameStop has the beta codes because I want to get in early (this Friday).

[Akagi]

WTF, man. This looks exactly like CoD. The noise when you shoot someone, the points, the knife, the setting.

[l King I]

nothing new

[Colonel-Killzone]

In My honest opinion I think killzone trumps all 3 of them. Also Medal of honor reminds me a lot of call of duty if not even worse. I just seen in that whole e3 conference more ways people would irritate me with tanks and launchers. This is just my opinion though.

Instead of innovating EA is simply copying the same crap call of duty does did you not see the predator missile in the video yesterday ? Wonder were they got that from. I don't mind copying or getting ideas but when you make a similar duplicate without anything else to add you just look stupid.

Also for the ones disagreeing with me is it because I told you how it is ? I mean honestly what was so different in that short Gameplay of medal of honor from call of duty modern warfare 2 ? If your gonna praise medal of honor and bash call of duty when it looks just alike something is truly wrong with you. The multiplayer might be fun etc. But I am not impressed everything I seen in this trailer I can do in Call of duty except with tanks etc. Anyway I will try and get into the beta and make my final judgement there. To much people on this website has double standards. They complain about something and then when someone does the same exact shit you guys do you get mad about it. Sigh And tbh Im tired with all this modern shit. Bad company medal of honor call of duty this is just to much.

[HarryM]

The Medal of Honor gameplay looks EXACTLY like Bad Company 2 with a different setting..

[Snakefist30]

Dude its pure ripoff the gameplay is like modern warfare 2 and the sound and feel like Bad Company 2.Medal of honour it just a ripoff.But I Dam luv to play this game.

[authentic24]

I said the same thing when I saw it. I am not a fan of BFBC or MW, I at least thought MOH would look different.

[DARK WITNESS]

too me it looks like both.

the size of the maps and environments remind me a lot more of MW2.

The movement is a lot like BC2 with the same ridiculous waddle when your hold a gun. I think you notice it most with a pistol or hand gun. it looks like his hand is almost still but then the front of the gun is swinging from side to side... it reminds me of a Duck's tale. I find it really irritating.

apart from that, it looks ok, but it's the beta i want to try.

[Panthers]

This looks great, but it looks just like CoD. I mean even the hit indicators are alike. Still, it looks really fun, but nothing unbelievable.

[Brklynty1]

*Looks at BC2 cover and sees DICE*
*Looks at MoH cover and sees DICE*

You people are some freakin bunch genius, i would have never guessed....

[Gawdl3y]

If it only takes 3 shots to kill someone like in COD, I'm probably not going to get this. Fully automatic weapons shouldn't deal nearly as much damages as they do in COD, when in video games. It takes no skill.
I like Battlefield's health system -- usually 5-6 shots with fully automatic weapons to kill.
COD4's was pretty good too, but pushing the lower limit: 4 shots. I don't like it any lower than that, but MW2 took it down to 2 shots. That's just plain stupid.

[kr9091]

wow so you would rather have a game where you have to unload an entire clip into someone to kill them? I don't know about you but whenever I play MW2 or BFBC2 I always play hardcore simply because the bullet damage is much more realistic. I wish more FPS would make "hardcore" mode standard.

[XtreemGamer]

MOH is a must buy for my PS3!! Awesome game! I don't care about cod,I hate activision...

[kr9091]

Yea the gameplay looks very fast paced like MW2 but has the balance of BFBC2. I'm loving it! I don't mind the graphics bump over MW2 and BFBC2 either :) haha

[Ironfungus]

Hopefully they can emulate all that Call of Duty pulled off...minus the hand holding and complete lack of skill. Durka dur.
