Medal Of Honor - 1st 14 minutes of PS3 version

The reboot of the classic shooter comes out tomorrow in the US , for the ones who wants to see how it starts this video will help ya

[frankymv]

where are the MOH reviews?

[swiftshot93]

Tuesday morning

[DORMIN]

Embargo goes up the same day as release date?

I see where this is going

[pimpmaster]

i just got this game. omg its so terrible. im on the third level so far and its pretty repedative. i had hoped it would be like mw2 where they add special FPS events and stuff but in this game not really. just walk around killing everyone in sight every level. they do put some parts where u use the UAV and a wierd electronic sniper that blows the enemies limbs off while on a atv. but honestly im dissapointed from what ive played this games gonna get reviewed 7-8s. 8 tops.

[captain-obvious]

the SP looks really nice
but i really cant say the same thing about the MP

[Apocwhen]

SP and MP are using two different game engines.
SP is a modified version of the Unreal Engine and MP is using the Frostbyte engine.
SP does look very nice.

[HQLocated111]

Wow, singleplayer looks great. Fucking DICE had to mess up the multiplayer, they can't make anything that doesn't look like battlefield. HORRIBLE. Wouldn't be surprised if they mess up Battlefield 3 too.

[nveenio]

I think this looks pretty good. I'm not a big shooter fan, though. I didn't like the BETA, but the single player looks better, imo. Of course, if the whole thing is "kill everyone in this room, move to new room and kill everyone there, repeat", then I can see it getting pretty tiresome by the third level.

[StanLee]

As much as people want this game to be COD's competitor, it's absolutely mediocre. It has been from the beginning.

[evrfighter]

"it's absolutely mediocre"

um duh. we've been saying cod is mediocre for years...

oh wait you meant moh

[PS360PCROCKS]

hey stan can you tell me why it's mediocre? Oh wait...nvm 1 bubble man.

[visualb]

I can agree, it doesn't look outstanding

but it does look far better than MW2's SP

and of course if it has to be COD's competitor, it will be mediocre

COD has been Mediocre since COD4, and probably will remain so until the end of days.

[STONEY4]

"COD has been Mediocre since COD4, and probably will remain so until the end of days."

Lawl? COD got mediocre after Activision decided to use the same exact formula for they're multiplayer in EVERY GAME. Even non-COD, Activision published games have perks and class set-ups, for no reason, even if it doesn't fit.

Then they decided to shaft the PC community, and charge $60 on top of no mod-support or dedicated servers. In fact, the only good thing about COD now is the single-player. Seriously, I enjoyed Modern Warfare 2s single player alot more than the first one, and alot more than the multiplayer in it.

[badz149]

a mediocre game competing with another mediocre game. so, it's fair!

[Longrod_Von_Hugendon]

By Monday hopefully.

[Obama]

They are talibanned.

[mrmcygan]

I'm going to get alot of hate for saying this but I think Danger Close should have used the frostbite 2 engine instead of the Unreal engine 3. The Frostbite 2 engine was made for FPS games while Unreal 3 was made for a broad selection of genres. The gun combat in this video does not look as fluid as the multiplayer. But I still believe that medal of Honor will be a good game.

[Pandamobile]

Frostbite 1, you mean. Frostbite 2 is the engine that is still in development for Battlefield 3.

Only problem with Danger Close using Frostbite is that only DICE knows how to use Frostbite. It's their proprietary engine which means that it's been developed for their internal use; so it's probably not documented extremely well.

Danger Close probably already has an extensive knowledge of Unreal 3.

Also the shooting mechanics have nothing to do with the engine itself. They design the game from scratch, so it's not like there's any residual Unreal Tournament 3, or Gears of War gameplay aspects in it...

[DelbertGrady]

The multiplayer in MOH uses the Frostbite engine.

[Close_Second]

After seeing the footage it screams Unreal engine. No main character shadow, pre-rendered lighting, graphics overall looking just a tad dated.

I wish someone had licensed the engine used for Killzone for other PS3 games.

[Apocwhen]

Probably because it's a multi-plat game and too much work would have been required to build the game using the engine from KZ just for PS3.

[STONEY4]

"After seeing the footage it screams Unreal engine. No main character shadow, pre-rendered lighting, graphics overall looking just a tad dated."

Um, that's more of a console-optimization sacrifice than the Unreal Engine itself. There are other games running on UE3 with dynamic character shadows, self-shadowing, and real-time building shadows. It's called optimizing. And the PC versions of these show none of these issues, which proves that it's not the engine itself.

Even some of Killzone 2s indoor lights don't project real time shadows themselves, they have light sources outside of them do to it. Example: There is a light hanging from the ceiling. I shoot it, it shakes everywhere and swings, but the lighting in the room is unchanged. There are also some destructible lights throughout the game that have almost the same effect, there are no reasonable light sources nearby, yet some magical light is illuminating the area.

"I wish someone had licensed the engine used for Killzone for other PS3 games."

So every game can look exactly like Killzone, since the engine is the type with a distinct look that can't really change? Then we'll have people complaining about every game looking the same, kinda like UE3 currently. At least now developers are getting the hang of using it in a way that doesn't look exactly like Unreal Tournament 3, such as Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock Infinite, which don't even look like UE3 games.

[kx11]

i don't think the PS3 version is the superior one , just saying

[eX-GREED]

Some much for "PS3 izz tha lead console." eh?

[LinuxGuru]

Of course not, PC version is =)

[Ivan Drago IV]

@ KX you do realize PS3 was the lead platform for this game dont you?

[kx11]

didn't know that , well then we can confirm the game is having some trouble in frame-rate department

[raztad]

Low framerates are sadly expected. This is a UE3 game. On consoles UE3 games max out at 30fps. Dunno why.

Despite the Ps3 being the "lead" platform (if that is even true or juts PR BS) most UE3 games dont perform very well on the platform so I would not be surprised if the xbox has the edge on this one.

Other thing that I was hoping no to be in the final build are the jaggies, but they still are there.

I dont quite understand how EA pretends MoH to be a serious competitor of CoD, if they put so little effort in it. The right thing to do was to develop an in-house 60fps capable engine. UE3 makes the game feel slower, less smooth and dull in comparison with CoD. Keep in mind I'm not a CoD fan and I'm totally not buying BO, but MoH is not trying hard enough. BO just look by far as the best option for anyone looking for a shooter fix.

[HOSe]

wow - the fact that the game begins with chatter about 9/11 is laughable. this game is full of fail. pass

[HOSe]

save me from tomorrow man save me from the taliban

[Corepred4]

fail because they are talking about 9/11? you're weird

[internalbit]

Seems to be a lot of activsion fans here. Y all the hate for this game. Any thing is betters than cod mw??

[visualb]

SO...i don't see all the sh!t its getting

i hate it. when its a COD "wow omg its amazing"

when its anything but a COD "PFFF lol it sucks haha"

people are such sheep. just because a lot of people like it, i'll like it too *-_-*

be individuals ffs. to me, this reminds me of COD4, and it looks great, it will probably be average, but so what

[Achemki]

@HOSe
As opposed to the Russians invading America in COD:MW2? The Cold War ended over 20 years ago, wtf are the Russians invading Burgertown for? Now that is laughable.

[Bass_fisherman]

The guy playing MOH in this is even trying to aim? cause it seems to look like the controls are stiff or probably he just waited for a auto aim function to appear and still the game seems super easy.

Bass Fisherman

[LordMarius]

That was a nice opening. It peeked my interest

[HOSe]

nice opening? it looks like EA, oh no, i mean Danger Close, just got the memo that COD Modern Warfare sold a bagillion copies and were like "werd, so well do the same thing, slap the Medal of Honor tag on it, and say we were aided by badass SF soldiers and that our game is authentic" when in reality , they just want money and the game looks like refurbished skata

[LordMarius]

I had no idea you had played it, care to give me a short review. By the way I dont see why MoH and CoD cant co-exist

[Paradise Lost]

HOSe,

Don't start spewing greek words in a public site that is viewed by People who only speak 1 language (95%).

[visualb]

a COD fanboy talking about how EA just want money.

wow, just wow

just shut up and enjoy gaming, if this doesn't interest you why do you have to go around waving your COD wang all over the place.

this is just more choice. tbh, i agree with marius, it is a nice opening, but its nothing amazing.

but nor was MW2.

[ElementX]

You mean "piqued"

[venom06]

this game looks incredible.... a definite must buy tomoorow night when it comes out.... MW2 fanboys can suck a big one..... haterism is a real nasty festering disease..

[Dbone]

Agree! Looks like fun

[HOSe]

short review ? sure

you play as a made up dude in a real war fighting real life enemies, but there is no sense of danger, no sense of accomplishment and little authenticity, although the developer would like to tell you otherwise.

hey , but its your $60.

[Mr Tretton]

shut up already.

[StarScream4Ever]

The opening reference on 9/11 just reinforce one fact: this is not a factual world the game take place in.

[telekineticmantis]

I don't like spoiling games before I play them. MOH is a must buy seriously, it's really atmospheric, & immersive.

[MysticStrummer]

So calling the enemy "Taliban" is too controversial, but "Al-Qaeda" is ok...? What a world. Then again, Al-Qaeda doesn't really exist outside of a CIA database. This game looks utterly typical anyway.

[Pandamobile]

AFAIK, the Taliban is still in the single player portion of the game. They just renamed it in the multiplayer because a bunch of retarded American soccer moms complained about the idea of being able to play as the Taliban in a game, so they renamed it OpFor, because that's so much better/different.

[Hagaf22]

Those "retarded American soccer moms" you refer to were the parents, wives, children, family and friends of service members who gave their lives for their country. Families asking for a little respect for those who died is no need for such ignorant comments. I personally take offense that you would so carelessly refer to the families of fallen service members in such a manner. I could care less what they call enemies in the games, but don't disrespect people who gave their lives for a cause you obviously have no knowledge of.

[StarScream4Ever]

@Pandamobile
As much as I find your comment rather offensively, it actually takes less than a bunch of 'retarded' soccer moms.

http://www.kotaku.com.au/20...

[Pandamobile]

I'm just referring in general to the types of people who complain about 'offensive' games; because 99% of the time when people create controversy over a game like this, they're middle aged, middle class people who don't understand the first thing about a video game, yet get completely worked up over the idea of having a playable Taliban class in a mature rated game.

I'm not trying to offend anyone who has lost a friend or family member, as I too know a few people fighting in Afghanistan.

[BattleAxe]

Just because the USA goes to war, doesn't mean the cause is right. 9/11 was an inside job.

[bjh089]

unreal engine sucks and they need to replace it ASAP they are usin both in this game unreal and frostbite

[IrishYamato]

No reviews = shit game.

[Deadly_Sinner]

Like IrishYamato said, "No Reviews = Shit Game".

If the games was any good, they would have release the reviews a few days ahead of time. But because they did not, it means that the game sucks and they want people to buy the game based on the "we used real soldiers in our Single Player campaign, so that makes this game better that everthing else out their".

No Reviews = Fail!!!

[HolyOrangeCows]

Riiiiight, because no good game has ever had the embargo drop the day before.

/s

[rajman]

Im uploading the PS3 playthrough for this game if anyone interested in watching:
http://www.youtube.com/view...

[GoldPS3]

I'm not really feeling this game. The only FPS I'm waiting for is KZ3.

[Deadly_Sinner]

Medal Of Honor feels like is a mediocre game, and they are trying to hide it by not release any reviews before the game comes out.

No Reviews = Fail!!

[madara0sama]

Wow the guy playing in this video is bad.

[AllroundGamer]

yeah probably his first fps game...

[Krew_92]

I can't wait for Tuesday!
I really hate how some of you think this game is copying Modern Warfare 2... You swear like right when Modern Warfare 2 came out they decided to make this in only half a year! This game took time to make, by the way Medal of Honor came out way earlier than Call of Duty. This reboot just happens to come out a month before Black Ops... Medal of Honor may not sell well, but it sure as hell is going to be a damn good game that will be shun down by lousy critics who only side with Call of Duty. All I know is, that I will be not buying Black Ops, but I will buy Medal of Honor and in the future Killzone 3. And remember this is all MY opinion that should not be taken as an attack.

[Deadly_Sinner]

Its your opinion and your money. You have the right to buy what ever you want (as long is legal). But remember, if MoH sucks, you be wasting your money and time.

I would recommend that you wait for the reviews and let other people tell you about the game, because the MoH devs are not talking about the modes/features/weapons/maps that this game is bring to the table. They are just talking about how they got help from "real SF Sodiers" to make the campaign.

[Krew_92]

I will be reading reviews throughout the day of the release, just to see what other opinions people have of the game.

[murcielago4]

this actually looks f-ing good, idk y people are hatting on it... o wait there COD fanboys. the guy playing this is bad, no auto aim is great, even if it does have it i'm turning it off and playing this game on the hardest difficult.

[gamingisnotacrime]

this game has no identity, Black Ops look way better. oh wait i forgot CoD is crap that is why their games brake records.

[Krew_92]

Reason those games "brake records" is because of their titles, they put crap in them and brand them. Just like last year, people will jump the crap wagon and purchase Black Ops. It seems like you are, I hope you enjoy your MEDIOCRE experience in the first of many milking of Call of Duty games Activision hopes to publish.

[murcielago4]

@gamingisnotacrime

i wasn't talking shit about COD idiot, i'm talking about stupid ass fanboys like yourself, see this is why fanboys are a plague in todays gaming world. they take everything the wrong way.

[Codeman420]

i love ppl who post these videos on youtube. None of them seem to know how to play the game that well. But, game looks good MP should be fine since Dice is doing it. Other than that great job EA for putting out a game that is truly authentic.

[gamingisnotacrime]

mediocre. i might just cancel my pre order

edit
i just canceled my amazon pre order

[EmperorDalek]

...it looks good but not great. The graphics certainly look like they still need more work.

[artdafoo]

Hate on MOH all you want but at least you can take the Taliban guys head, and limbs off with the shotgun and the .50 cal sniper rifle in the SP campaign. Don't recall MW2 or BC2 letting you do that and until I see video proof I doubt Wak Ops will let you do it also.

Wooo look ! You get explosive tipped arrows to shoot at people !! Too bad the only thing that happens when they explode is the guy flies up in the air. FAIL.

[psyckmark]

Well in CoD WAW you could blow heads and limbs off with shotguns and heavy machineguns in SP and MP. Same in CoD Black ops. And btw MoH has a very short campaign (3-5 hours) Even MW2 is longer!

[Throwaway2020]

I didn't really like Cod:MW and this looks like a watered down version of that(I do find the art style aesthetically pleasing however even if not technically impressive). I have no problem with others who want to make the purchase. As for the MP, I guess maybe it is time I get Battlefield BC:2 anyway. Good day to you all ;)

[S_C]

This Game Is Looking Amense, Cant Wait For This And COD:BO

[Newlove]

It's so annoying to watch...but anyway I can't wait for it.

[MehmetAlperTR]

All of my friends who pre ordered this game CANCELLED it. I live in Turkey. Games are releasing here before release date. I played the first two hour at PS3. The game is Crap.. Completly Crap.. Graphics are really bad.. intelligance is zero for an enemy..

[Lanontscuz]

I just can't wait!? ok I'll wait some more!

[Deathcakes]

This seems like a somewhat generic shooter to me. I realize there are difficulty settings but even if it's on easy this game seems to be rather forgiving as this guy can totally avoid tactics and still get the job done. The military style is cool though, which I guess they've worked on and that shows. Other than that I'm leaning more towards calling this "meh" than "MoH".

[bviperz]

I'll probably play this game for the story, seem interesting enough. Rent maybe.
