[tdogchristy90]

Color me intrigued.

[OliverKO]

Very much intrigued!

[tdogchristy90]

Idk, there was something about the original. I loved the historical and respect aspect tied to it, being more real world and based on fact. But something about it bugged me, the graphics or game mechanics, idk, it just didn't feel like it had enough quality compared to others on offer at the time. It just kind of left me "meh" Or maybe my hopes were just too high. Either way, I'm intrigued by this one, it looks better and I hope it is better this time around. *crosses fingers*

[Peppino7]

Man I love the Frostbite 2 engine. Hopefully gameplay is fluid because this could be an amazing game.

[iamnsuperman]

@tdogchristy90
"there was something about the original. I loved the historical and respect aspect tied to it, being more real world and based on fact".

I agree and is one of the reasons I am less excited for this game. MoH suffered technical problems mixed with an average multiplayer but the core single player game felt refreshing a real. I can see why they have gone the other way considering the reception MoH got but it is still as shame. Not many games go the realistic route which is why it was nice to see MoH do it and do it quite well.

[gameplayingfool]

I'm a long-time Medal of Honor fan. I look forward to this.

[sphinct]

Woot! I love Medal of Honor.

[zeeshan]

The background music is sort of like what they had in BF3 trailer and even in the BF3 game.

As for the gameplay, it looks like the footage of the single player campaign. I'd rather multiplayer footage because DICE just killed BF3 after the patch and it'd be great to move on to something else (I refuse to play any COD games).

Until then, I'll be playing some awesome single player games.

[tboyshinobi]

nothing like the original, but i'm still hopeful that this will be a good installment. Based off of the MoH website it's based off of real stories written by Tier 1 operators who were on duty so maybe (Despite the Cobra world attack) this will still have a realistic feel.

[BattleAxe]

I want to see pure gameplay footage. The last MoH game had similar well produced marketing trailers, but look how it turned out.

[Razmossis]

It'll be nothing we haven't played before

[ChrisW]

Very interesting...
But too bad it's published by EA, which means I won't buy it.

[360 man]

thats the pc version. it has to be.

which will mean thats what we can expect for the next generation.

which makes me happy :)

sorry (cough) i mean.... intrigued

[lastdual]

Yeah, similar to BF3, we can expect that EA will release mostly PC footage to show off the game.

The console versions may look decent, but not on the same level as that video.

[turgore]

console version will look similar to how battlefield 3 looked on consoles.

[hakis86]

SWEET finally a game where I can play as the army from my Country (Norway). Global warfare...seems interesting! They are going head to head with Cryteks F2P Warface perhaps?

[yabhero]

If there is a WiiU version then it will probably look slightly worse than that but better than PS3/360 with some special tablet stuff.... If not then I'll get the PC version for the new laptop I'm getting over summer... Got any ideas? PM ME.

[mcnablejr]

@ yabhero

dafu* did i just read?

[callahan09]

It seems to be a nice iteration of the realistic wargames FPS genre, and has pretty graphics.

I checked out the trailer hoping it would be something intriguing for me, though, and it just wasn't. Nothing against the game or the genre or its fans, but I'm just sick of this style of realistic, real-world military war FPS. It just bores me. The plots don't interest me, the world and weaponry doesn't interest me. I know this is the most popular genre on the planet right now (or one of them anyway) but I like a little more character depth, some good mystery and a lively, imaginative world I can put myself into. This kind of thing just doesn't satisfy my urges.

[Ashunderfire86]

Well you need to play Halo with its scifi action. I alway prefer Scifi over real world action, but I still have a place for these military shooters like Battlefield 3 for my PC!!!! And it's much better than Call of Duty.

[TENTONGUN]

i feel ya. im only lookin forward to ghost recon this year. will not be picking up another modern war fps any time soon

[Bobby Kotex]

Apparently no one remembers how awesome the first MoH trailer was vs how generic the game was.

[dubt72]

Dude, you must have heard this a million times, but your name made me giggle like a schoolgirl. Huzzah to you, good sir.

[finbars75]

The only thing I remember is how generic Bobby Kotex is,other then that I think Danger Close has learned there lesson from the first MOH disaster.SP was great but the MP was not up to par.This MOH has alot of potential thats for sure.Lets hope they can deliever another epic game.

[hennessey86]

was generic, but the single player was brilliant. So good infact I completed it 3 times :)

[FanboyPunisher]

People said the same shit about the last MOH, game died and was poor fps shooter.

I'll wait intill MOH proves itself before hyping anything, let see if this one lasts.

[OhMyGandhi]

I think it also looks interesting.
but actually, I am quite surprised by this trailer, and not in the best of ways.

This is going in a completely different direction from what they told EGM and OXM as to what they wanted to do.

It looks a hell alot like "one of those Hollywood blockbuster types" and less like a "personal heartfelt story of the relationship between a family man and the war he fights for those at home" (as quoted from Official Playstation Magazine).

[cannon8800]

Hey guys, finally a game trailer without dubstep!

[the_hitman3000]

Wow this is looking good imo. I cant wait to see more at E3! I hope sp is longer and the multiplayer is a lot better

[OliverKO]

Going by recent trends, I don't think the SP is going to be longer, but it will be more impactful and more quality than 2010's game.

Better MP is a given - they'll need to compete with Call of Duty and EA will need to even compete with itself and Battlefield, so I'm guessing something a little different (no vehicles) and perhaps targeting CoD crowd? A two-pronged attack seems likely.

[duplissi]

2010s game had an awesome if albeit short campaign. it was by far the most authentic, respectful and realistic feeling modern war game i have ever played - which was what i was expecting.

however it had a multiplayer mode that can be described as a mash up of battlefield and call of duty but having none of eithers strengths...

[Cosmit]

Hmmm I'm very skeptical about this game. I was really looking forward to the one before this with all the good trailers and stuff they were releasing. It hyped me up and I seriously thought it would be my new favorite FPS because well, Its MOH.

So I'll try not to hype myself so much this time around. Also, them releasing MOH means that no BC3 this year :(.

PRE-ORDER FOR 40 HOUR TACTICAL HEADSTART

40 Hours very nice Im in where do i sign up.

[Hufandpuf]

Now the haters will jump on the hype train. so predictable. Day 1 for me though, I loved the first one.

[Fishy Fingers]

Haters? The last title was technically a mess and critically received as average at best, I don't think being excited about the sequel because of the improvements they've made, 1 developer, frostbite, less influence from 'other' games etc means I'm a 'hater' getting on the hype train. Get off your soap box.

[Hufandpuf]

There were tons of doubt that the game would be any good as soon as it was announced. People even hated thee name and basically shunned it because they thought it had nothing to prove or that it was another generic title.

Well, MOH 2010 had a great singleplayer campaign albeit some technical issues. The guns had a great weight to them (The shotgun was amazing!) the tone was very convincing, the music was perfect. The emotion was there in the game, something a vast amount of shooters lacked.

You are just looking at the "tech" side; How well did it run, or how intricate was the game design? You need to look at what the game offered, what was presented to you. Look past the rough edges of the first game and you'd find that MOH 2010 gave you something original and bold: They sacrificed the flair and Michael Bay type explosions for an atmospheric and realistic take on REAL WORLD conflicts.

[hiredhelp]

Well this time they got it going on just right.
Danger close doing it all and by that i mean all in house development, Using of course frosbite 2.0.

I still need to enlist

[1nsomniac]

The single player of the 1st game was terrible, I mean no words could describe how bad it was. The multiplayer however, although quite cramped was pretty addictive.

[orange-skittle]

They hyped the game so much that when the demo was released, it was a total mess. The actual game was soooo bad that it fell to $40 in a matter of 2 months. Now you can get it for $20 boxed right next to HOMEFRONT. This is 100%/100% DICE, so there's no 2 developers working here to rush a product out. Last time they asked DICE to help finish the game since it wasn't going in the direction they intended. DICE was trying to polish a turd. Now they are hands on

[a_bro]

the first one was average because:

1. the single player was handled by danger close using that crappy UE3 engine (to me, thats what ruined it)

2. DICE handled the multiplayer, felt similar to playing battlefield using the original frostbite engine, which isnt a bad thing, but still, if i wanted to play BF at the time, i would just play bad company 2.

this is different though. I'd give'em a chance and see what danger close is really capable of. and with a better frostbite 2, heck, im down.

[mcstorm]

I agree i like the 1st game not the best moh game ive played but was a good mix between cod and operation fashpoint. The biggest problem with the 2010 game was the mp and sp were done by different teams so they did not feel the same and i think this is where it had its problems but this game being done by one team should make for a good game.

[FFXI101]

"Day 1 for me though, I loved the first one."
Same here, love the first one and looking forward to this one.

[GamingTruth]

cod killer... oh nevermind

[WiIIiam]

Looks good for what it is, but it's simply another linear, military FPS. I wish they would show just a little more ambition.

[TheBioLover]

Looks pretty generic but it still could be fun.

[Hufandpuf]

with further analysis, judging solely from the trailer. It looks like COD. The mission looks like the last level from MW3 and the boat scene reminded me of the New York scene in the beginning of MW3.

It looks like it'll be running in 30 FPS

It's a fast paced action packed Michael Bay game (Aimed toward COD crowd this time?)

And why does Mother look like Cpt. Price!?

I hoped that it would take a more realistic approach like the last one did and that this trailer is just for the flair and hype because it really looks like what COD MW3 should have been if Activision wasn't so cheap.

[shackdaddy]

Have you ever played MoH games before? It's basically a slightly more believable CoD.

It's ok to have a modern war action shooter, just as long as they do it right.

[Captain Qwark 9]

the first reboot was a piece of sh*t and the first game i have sold back in years, this one looks better though.

hopefully its more polished since imo that was the biggest problem with the last one, it did have potential but just wasnt any good in the end

[StayStatic]

MW3 was so bad captain price switched franchises ...

[Majin-vegeta]

Lmfao someone give this man the "Funny comment of the year award" Bubs+ xDDD.

[Colonel_Dante]

With a shift away from WW1/2 setting.. EA LA need to make this stand out..especially multiplayer.
MOH SP campaign was great.. I got the game to pass time by till BF3 hit, but the MP left me thinking "meh" .. went back to BFBC2, so EA, make it stand out, like the original WW settings did.
I remember watching Saving Private Ryan then playing MOH front line going WOW. so thats what I want here. WOW!

[Bakkies]

I recently bought Medal of Honor(2010) and it's a bit rubbish, the MP is dead and a BC2 hack job. The single player mostly consists out of "follow this guy until the credits roll".

Moral of the story: It made me reinstall Medal of Honor Airborne because it is fun, open world and most importantly had it's own identity. EA, why did you turn Medal of Honor into a COD fest? I know you want to swim in gold coins, but can't we work something out?

[Kahvipannu]

It's the current trend, CoD sells, so publishers don't wanna take risks, and make same kind of rubbish, sad really. For example BF3, mp is amazing, but the sp was terrible, as boring and scripted as CoD... BC's had atleast some freedom in theyr campaigns, they weren't great, but way better than BF3's campaign.. It was a joke.

It's a terrible trend where main focus is mass-market, games hold your hand, and be sure to not piss anyone off..

Btw, is the avatar from Eve?

[shackdaddy]

I agree. Personally, I wish they would go back to what made Allied Assault and Frontlines so good.

It was just you leading the path trying to find your way through enemy lines on a secret mission to board a U-boat or to destroy a train or something. I miss those days.

I guess that's why I keep coming back to them. Because I'm always hoping to have as much fun as I did back then...

[Detoxx]

Looks very good!

[AusRogo]

Wow! Loved the first one to death. Definatly will be getting this. I just want to see some multiplayer footage! I actually enjoyed the multiplayer on the first one. It wasnt the best but it was fun at times. Im glad dc are doing the multiplayer this time around though, interested to see what they can do. And Australian SASR!? God I hope they have real Australian voice actors.. Dead Island voice acting was terrible, we sound nothing like that!

[Holeran]

I just hope it doesn't incorporate the input lag from Battlefield 3 on the PS3. Using the frostbyte 2 engine is concerning me for this. I had to get rid of my copy of Battlefield 3 because I couldn't stand the input lag.

[wAnxTa]

Sick beat!

[Tai_Kaliso]

I'm kind of interested to see more on this game. I actually hate Dice, so while I found MOH 2010 to be a fun campaign, the online was utterly worthless.

The campaign had a prone feature and you could switch fire rate of the weapons, while the online played just like a crappy Bad Company game.

Glad Dice isn't touching this ones online, it might actually be decent now.

Looking forward to seeing a lot more from this game, though its obvious MOH, Battlefield are now on a 2 year development cycle just like COD.

[iistuii]

Good. Hopefully the frostbite engine on consoles will look a lot better on smaller maps. I just can't stand B3 on consoles on the big maps, it has terrible jaggies. I must admit I quite enjoyed the last MOH.

[nepdyse]

The FOV for Medal of Honor was locked at 55 for the Single Player. No SERIOUSLY it was, couldn't stand playing for more than 5 minutes, never touched it again.

[Thatlalala]

Woah, Cpt. Price left Infinity Ward too??? WAH!

[asmith2306]

Meh. Rave on about graphics all you want, its just another fps. I was hoping the next gen would bring better leaps than just graphics, which should be a given anyway.

[retrofly]

Hang on, I've seen this game before.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I definitely will check this out but... I think this game will suffer again from identity crisis. Its trying hard to be COD in so many ways... I mean if you don't tell me the name of that game and just played the trailer I would have thought its the next COD game.

[Kaneda]

mmm.. Two guys started COD, what do you expect?

[detroitmademe]

i hate to be a negative nancy but its hard for me to be excited for this.I feel like i seen this show before with the release of BF3.All that beautiful pc footage just to be dissapointed with only sub-par to good graphics.Gameplay is still more important than graphics imo & BF3 definently brought the gameplay but i highly doubt that MOH will b as good as BF.ill keep an eye out on this but Starhawk is still my most anticipated.

[Kahvipannu]

What I little tested previous MoH, it's pretty much CoD, with more tactical/team-work based infantry warfare. I believe it will stay as that, since this is pretty obvious try from EA to take over some CoD market.

I agree with your statement, personally I prefer full warfare gameplay, so it's BF3 (PC) for me too. Starhawk looks pretty interesting too, brings many interesting ideas on consoles first time, like basebuilding in mp, and Warhawk was tons of fun back in days.

[peeps]

Looks good but that may be more down to it being a well put together trailer. Being frostbite 3 I would expect the game will look stunning... but on PC, not consoles unfortunately

[Kahvipannu]

I'm not that interested in the title, but I have to say FB2 still amazes, visuals look amazing, very, very impressive.

[LOL_WUT]

Awesome i liked the headshot they did on that one guy. I hope you get to tear off limbs in this one like in the first game. Also it looks like it's not only focusing on the middle east but other places too, but i could be wrong though.

[holdmyown83]

multiplayer please

[Redtide]

nice!!!

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

That looked crazy good. Never really been a MOH fan but I'll give this a shot.

[CanadianTurtle]

Wow, I can't believe how gullible some people are. Everyone here is like "wow this game looks like a killer! its going to be awesome!"

And when the game actually comes out, it turns out to be just another mediocore military fps, just like its predecessor....

And to be completely fair, everyone thought BF3's singleplayer was going to be awesome, ya see how that turned out.

[SoloWingX]

I think the campaign for BF3 is pretty good. Good graphics, good story, great weapons, carrier ops, tanks...

[Norrix94]

A lot of people hated on MOH, but personnaly, I liked it better than BF3. I thought the single player was more fun and I enjoyed the MP more too. This looks looks promising (just hope they can fix the spawn system because the first one sucked).

[chukamachine]

Looks good, will be keeping and eye on this one:)

[nik666uk]

Always preferred MOH to COD

[FinaLXiii]

only before COD ever was there

[gameseveryday]

Looks pretty awesome :) Glad to know its now utilizing the Frostbite Engine

[mt]

looks like battlefield 3 O.o

[SoloWingX]

Single player mode WILL be awesome, I'm gonna buy it on release date. I hope Danger Close gives it a great multiplayer mode with VOIP and realism... BF3 has a great multiplayer, but it lacks realism (flags?)...

[Veni Vidi Vici]

Another generic shooter. The last MOH was quite average, why would this be any different? They're going to have to prove it before I get interested in this title.

[artdafoo]

Did somebody say BF3 had subpar graphics ? Compared to what ? BF3 is easily the best looking FPS out now on consoles. Awsome, lighting, particle and water effects plus destruction. It makes Call O' Doodie games look like PS2 games and MOH 2 looks to be taking it a notch. Will gameplay be good ? Who well have to wait for the beta ( prob this summer ) but as far as graphics go, this will be a great looking game on consoles and even better on PC. So don't even start with the " oh this must be PC gameplay " Hell, they could put COD on super computer and it would still look like crap.

[Saleem101]

Looks like pc version nice Jedi tricks EA!!!

[totallysane]

looked like a bunch of cgi to me. maybe 3 seconds of in game. come on i still need more convincing. moh "looked" good at first ended up being bad. at least were still months away

[RevXM]

Among the best looking games for sure... but I hope they don't hold back on anything. Make them rigs sweat!

Also judging by the trailer... Modern day action FPS done right!

[honkyjesus]

We need more forty dollar games like this and Max Payne 3.

[Perjoss]

It does look nice, but personally I'm tired of the way military shooters play these days, they focus too much on the combat on not enough on the story.

How about something that captures the brotherly love (haha yeah I know people will laugh at that) between soldiers, twist a little RPG in there so I might even shed a tear when a one of the main characters dies along side me in combat. These days its all about over the top Hollywood type situations.

I'm not saying all shooters should be like that, not at all, I just like it when a studio thinks a little outside of the box instead of falling in line and marching with the crowd.

[itchy18]

PHILIPPINES!? hell yeah!! my country! woohoo

[FinaLXiii]

The only interesting thing about this game is the graphics i wonder if the game is actually worth my time even just a bit.

[Zha1tan]

Flashy trailer with brief glimpses of the best scripted or on rails parts of the campaign.

of course because its pretty with EAs use of Adobe after effects but colour me dis interested becasue it will wind down in the same old way.

run down corridor, scripted door breach incurs, scripted scene where you cant do anything except slightly walk around, bad guy pulls gun, quick time event, on rails sequence of you chasing said bad guy.

can see its boring linear gameplay a mile off.

[tunaks1]

Don't see the appeal, genre is way too overcrowded, why should I care about this if I have bf3? This uses the same engine, will likely have a shallow online.

What is so drastically different from current shooters that amazes you folk?

[Summons75]

I'm game, I enjoyed the first one despite it's single player length =]

[modesign]

another generic shooter, im sure it will sell millions.

[Wumbo]

Deja Vu!!! BUT This cant be the first time i saw an over the top generic but action packed trailer for a grey copy paste shooter? can it?

[Ness-Psi]

medal of honour has always been my favorite shooter, i really liked the last game but it could have been more polished. the thing is, it`s starting to look too much like battlefield i cant tell them apart.
I know it uses the same game engine (as battlefield) but thier is usually differences in things when different teams work on games. this looks too similiar. but i`m sure i will enjoy it, just would have liked the old medal of honour atmosphere back.

[Rahim92]

Is Pakistan one of the playable locations in the game?

[fastNslowww]

LOl looks like a next gen COD game, even one of the characters look like the same.

Does look great tho. Just don't expect anything new or original.

[UnasFortuna]

I actually liked the footage. As we all know very well... what is presented pregame/premovie is not always indicative of the final product. I admit that I loved the last iteration of MoH (the campaign that is and not the MP). The game had its flaws to me; but, what game doesn't? I have high hopes that they will be able to continue to elevate this game. I being a long time COD fanatic was drawn over with the last MoH. I do hope they make the campaign a little longer and evolve the characters a little more. It is a day one buy for me.

I'm not sure I understand the labeling of this game as a generic shooter... There aren't many ways to truly improve upon the "shooter" genre. I personally am tired of the old war shooters (ww1,ww2,etc). I like the inclusion of modern day events. To me, that makes it much more believable and easier to get the gamer to believe that this could happen and you could be part of it. Gameplay mechanics... they are constantly evolving every generation. Weapon/Destruction physics... more realistic with almost every game. Games of this magnitude to me are hardly generic. I say the same about COD.

[PersonMan]

2 things are keeping me far away from this game:

First Person Shooter
Frostbite 2 engine

First person shooters are boring to me and frostbite 2 engine sucks on consoles (screen tearing).

I'll live I guess.

[SuperBeast811]

Thanks for your opinion but then why are you here?I dont read articles or watch videos for games I'm not interested in are you lonely??LOL

[PersonMan]

I'm just giving my input. Too many first person games are coming out all the time and it just sucks being a gamer right now because there are no original ideas anymore. Why can't more games like ICO come out?

[SuperBeast811]

BLOPS 2 WHO????

[Awesome_Gamer]

I hate first-person shooters (except killzone).. but i'm actually interested in this one

[andron]

Hmmm, I'm getting tired of these military recruitment games. I like to blow stuff up, but MoH, Cod and Battlefield all look much the same now...

[sly-Famous]

Ok, youve got my attention, lets just hope the ending is better than ME3's, mmkay EA.

[ATi_Elite]

1. I watched the video!
2. I watched the video again just to make sure!
3. I threw money at the screen!

FPS + Frostbite 2 = me flipping over my mouse pad to get credit card info

[PersonMan]

I keep my credit card info on my credit card. Why is yours on your mouspad? Is it that hard to get your wallet out?
