New Medal of Honor
 

Medal of Honor... Modern Warfare?

EA's LA team is handling the single player, with EA's DICE doing the multiplayer. Not everyday EA throws two teams at a game, and they're pulling out the big guns with DICE at work for the multiplayer component alone. Hopefully they can flex with the current competition. MoH Heroes 2 was well received on the Wii, but that was Wii and a different team (EA Canada). Battlefield will be EA's answer this year against MW2, so I'm guessing this new modern Medal of Honor will go head to head with Treyarch's CoD next year.

MoHs past were good games. Hopefully this will step it up.

EA is saying they want their FPS position back, and are poised to take it back with Battlefield and Medal of Honor. Should be an interesting rivalry.

I'm with EA on this one, BTW. They have DICE.

I hope it has more perks than CoD4, MW2, and World at War combined.

Wait, I always thought MoH and CoD were from the same makers...

Nope.

MoH and Battlefield series is from the same maker/publisher.

No perks here, only badassery. :D

Hopefully on this one you can parachute in while firing a rifle. That would rule.

I don't think I've played a MoH game since the first Call of Duty came out. Seems a bit ridiculous because I used to love the series and used to hammer it online.

I want to get this really bad. It'll be a nostalgia trip in itself just to be playing a MoH game.

I'm so stealing my dads VIP code on Wednesday.

I'm so in that beta.

IGN Write Up Highlights:

Burn.

Pussy. How did you survive before killcams?

Still, BC2 > MW2.

Wow looks alot like Modern Warfare to me...Was watching that mutiplayer playing all those guys were doing and I completely forgot that it wasnt COD. I was talking to my cousin saying I liked how they changed the way it displays your kill points. Then it showed the MOH logo and I was like...Wow...forgot about that.

Kalyx you dink, how can you say that one game is better than another before you've even played it?

He's comparing Bad Company to Modern Warfare?

Oh fuck.

I misread that totally. Giving Kalyx positive rep, also I am the dink, not Kalyx.

What's a dink?

It is I.

Aye.

Kinda dumb how you have to pre order the game to get early beta access.

I can just wait until the 21st to play the beta.

At least it's not a demo.

Played the beta, it's basically MW2 with Dice's engine. Same control scheme, only difference is to use the noob tube its L2(PS3 version) instead of right in the dpad.

360 beta is delayed.

I'd play the beta for this more if the PS3 version didn't have a freezing bug.

So how does this play compared to Bad Company 2? I know this will come off as a shock, but i didnt really like BC2. I tried, i really did...just like i tried to like BC1 and previous Battlefield games, but i just didnt like feel.

So that being said, is this more Modern Warfare? Or more Bad Company?

This looks very much like MW2 with slight BC2 aesthetics. Can't speak for how it feels but I'm guessing it'll feel like MW2 as well. Gonna assume it's basically 'MW2 done better', which I can get behind. Dice > IW, and the thought of Dice improving MW2's gameplay is alluring. Ain't gonna be no Nukes in an objective game, I promise that much.

The perk system isnt a bad one, so long as they stay grounded. One of the biggest mistakes IW did was begin to create perks that, quite frankly, cannot be done IRL.

Commando Pro, Marathon, etc.

BadCo wasnt a bad game, it was just too vast for me...i like smaller, faster paced 'on your toes' action. Bad Company was more 'get the lay of the land, sit on your ass, and shoot whatever walks by'

24plyr btw.

I know. Would you prefer I said "MW2 with Dice's Engine and 24 players"?

At this point the cat's out of the bag.

Obviously Sony throwing money at EA /fanboy

How do get the beta without pre-ordering the game. I don't like to buy games until i've tried them out, so i'm not stuck with a game i don't like.
