Does anyone else think Activision is the worst company to be supporting right now? I have never really boycotted anything in my life but the way they view us as nothing but cashflow makes me not want to give them my money. Although, kudos to Treyarch as Black Ops looks like it will be a massive game albeit they have the tools that Infinity Ward originally put in place.

If the 2 maps were made on initial budget than whatever, let the kids feel special. But if it cost resources than I wouldn't just give them away, especially if they're not on disc.

Yeah it would make sense for them to sit on a couple of maps already ready to go and release them a couple of weeks from now. Maybe this is just wishful thinking as I go to pick up the game in 3 hours haha.

You know this game is by Dice for EA, right? Or were you just saying?

I am talking about Black Ops. It influenced my decision to go with DICE games for my modern war needs. When they came out with the 1st map pack and wanted my 15 dollars for some half assed maps and a couple of remakes, it tipped me to trade it in and buy myself Bad Company 2. It took a few hours of understanding the mechanics and leveling, the rest is history. Love the destructable environments, the gravity of the bullets, working vehicles including the choppers, and my new 5.1 with the dolby digital is absolutely amazing and immersive.

I agree, BC2 > MW2 by miles. Ironically in this case, I'm waiting for BlackOps rather than MoH. I don't like Dice copy/pasting MW2 without much else in the way of incentives. Meanwhile Treyarch seems to be spicing up the formula.

Would still like to try MoH if I could, just to confirm or deconfirm my thoughts.

I love how DICE better utilizes teamwork as I get the same and in some cases more points for reviving and healing than I do for kills. People need to work together and when you have a team that all wants to be snipers, that formula fails. But get a good team together, and the game takes off. It looks like this has carried over to MoH. They have killstreaks but not ones that call in automated helis which is a plus to me. Also, it is a score chain and not a kill chain to activate these streaks, meaning I can kill a guy, capture an objective, and get an assist as everything flows together nicely. The ability to choose between launching an offensive attack or a defensive perk, one that benefits my teammates (ammo refills, flak jackets, etc) is an option that promotes teamwork and reminds me of the BC2 medic class.

And as far as them copying Call of Duty, they really had no choice but to take it into the new age. You have to cater to the audience and I am glad I will have a modern warfare game set in Afghanistan too hold me over until Battlefield 3...that is the game I am truly waiting for.

I cannot wait for the beta to come out. Atleast I know I will be in day 1 by buying MoH. Halo Reach doesn't fulfill my first person shooter needs entirely.

Combined with Danger Close's fixation on delivering an experience about a war that Americans are deeply ambivalent about, and multiplayer that remains likely to incite controversy about its content after players have moved on to deeper, more engaging multiplayer options, Medal of Honor is one of the bigger disappointments of 2010.

So basically the gamble by EA to make the single player and multiplayer completely different using different studios wasn't such a good idea since neither one turned out to be good as hyped up.

Hm. So campaign seems shitty and boring. Multiplayer though...kinda interesting. Definitely a world removed from COD. Run and gunning here gets you a pretty sorry KDR. You need a far slower, more tactical style. I've never played Battlefield: Bad Company so I dunno how similar it is.

But it does seem snipers are overpowered, and no one has even unlocked good scopes yet. And wtf, are there only like 3 maps for TDM?

Having bought Medal of Honor last night, I recommend Bad Company 2 over it. The only thing I wish Bad Company 2 had from MoH is the killstreak offense and defense supports. Medal of Honor as a game feels quite....shallow

Refund details: $63.91




What a clusterfuck of a company they've got. Also, it was closer to $70 but I'm not saying shit right now.

But it was already $59.99? And aren't all first run copies LE, just like BC2 was? Every website has only the LE listed.

Jim Stirling's review is pretty much in line with my past comments. Be waiting for Black Ops.

What a clusterfuck of a company they've got. Also, it was closer to $70 but I'm not saying shit right now.
EA is the devil, what do you expect?

Played it, only did 3 games since I'm half a sleep, it's ok. Don't see me spending much time on it with Black Ops less then a month away.

Yeah changed my opinion. Multiplayer is not very good. All the weapons feel the same, leveling up takes forever, spawn killing is out of control, snipers are overpowered, and you play the same maps over and over.

This is all based on TDM though. Maybe other modes are more fun. Probably gonna end up trading it in for store credit towards Black Ops though.

EA stocks dropped 6% today due to stock holders hating the review embargo and the bad feedback from the reviews. To put it in perspective, the hype and pre-orders raised stocks by 15% and within 2 days about half of those gains were gone.

The game itself breaks MoH records for pre-orders but won't have any "legs" for long term sales.

Between this and the NBA Jam debacle, EA's been taking hits.

Starting to see another reason they got the NFL license, they simply lose their minds when competition's involved.

There's nothing "Call of Duty" about this game at all. I have no idea where that started, That was even obvious in the beta. It's more Battlefield nonsense, just stripped down. I'm not knocking Battlefield, it's just not for me.

The shotgun is so broken in this game. Extremely tiny reticule. Might as well be using a sniper rifle. And you gotta love when half your team is on offense on an objective game and they decide to snipe from the spawn. That will help.

The sniping thing is every realistic military shooter ever. Can't blame a game for people.

I really dislike not having a killcam, or even BC2's showing you the person that killed you to get a general idea where he was thing.

Seems like the ordeal is over. Was charged $71.36 (lol never ordering from there ever) and refunded $63.91. Paid $7.45 for it. Then I'll be goozexing it probly next week for 1000 points plus the 200 bonus points.


The campaign is really good. IGN's review is hilarious. I can imagine the reviewer got to places and couldn't advance because he was just running around all over the place. Had no bugs in this at all. A few framerate drops when there were a billion explosions though. I think I'm like 70% done with it on easy. It's a lot of fun, it's got a good story, and IGN can blow me.
