Medal Of Honor – Respecting the soldier means killing him

What lessons can Medal Of Honor take from other games if it wants to maintain ‘respect for the soldier’?

It's only a video game. Multiplayer wouldn't make sense if the Taliban wasn't part of it. How about colour the Allied troops and let players take sides? Didn't think so..

As FPSs gain more popularity, companies will start do things that are "crazy" to get media attention. Even though, like Game-ur said "Why is it any different than Russians killing American solders?".

Which basically sums up why I like science-fictional shooters more. Regardless of the characters only be avatars, it`s a sick concept to base games like that off of reality and could be looked at as conditioning when brought to the wrong type of mind. Games/Movies/Music can get through alot of serious social views w/o ever saying them out loud. Enjoy it all you want, but be cautious of what`s going in and out of you head.

A Cupcake for Gabe4996d ago

It's not but apparently people want to make it a big deal. I have been to Afghanistan and have to say I don't care what polygons are mapped over a digital stick figure in the MP. I am excited to play the campaign and that is what's important. It's telling a good story about great men. The MP is there for the replay. This is no different if you were a Nazi, Helghast, Covenant, Russian. This has a more realistic approach but COD 4 did the same thing with fake names instead of TALIBAN or AFGHANISTAN.

Quit the "FOX news sucks", "I hate Liberals" bullsh*t. If you want to play it, play it. If you hate it, don't give the game this much publicity. This game is only going to do better if you tell people they shouldn't buy it. MOH has always done soldiers and history respect, so STFU and quit being a bunch of retards.(You as in the media, not my fellow N4G brethren..minus the few of you on here who suck.)

Becuause American lives are worth more. j/k.

Karlnag34996d ago

What do the people that whine expect to accomplish? They whined about MW2s no Russian mission and that stayed. They whined about GTA IV and how the game allowed you to kill civilians... ya know, like every GTA game that has ever been released, all of which had a nice big "18" or "M" on the front of them. They never change anything in these games, at all, they just want, no; they just NEED something to bitch about. I say we stop caring because they never get anywhere. Enough of the "randoms piss and moan over MoH!" articles please.

Game should be awesome.

il-mouzer4996d ago

since neither side has any difference in gameplay, I guess this conflict could be easily avoided by going the America's Army route for the US versions of course.

ie: teamA will be displayed as Americans whilst teamB is Taliban, on the other hand gamers from teamB will see themselves as Americans whilst teamA is Taliban, just a change in the character skin for either team and be done with it.

MovieScouse0074996d ago

A well written and carefully thought out article.
How did this make it past N4G's lowest common denominator level of article approval?
Surely they should have removed it for making sense or being too damned clever for its own good!

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."

banger887d 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_D3TH6d 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

PrecursorOrb6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan6d 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.

SlothLordPootus503d 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.

SonyStyled502d 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_92503d 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.

Iceball2000502d 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.

HeliosHex502d ago (Edited 502d 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.

FGHFGHFGH502d ago

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

MadLad502d 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.
