Critical Miss: Honor and Medals Thereof

[Not G. Ivingname]

MOH, a game that is both to realistic and unrealistic at the same time.

Is that the sniper rifle from Red Faction, or am I yet to come down from last night?

 

[squiggothhunter]

TMI on the text under the comic

 

[Tempest13]

Knife car? Fuck yes...I'm getting this game just to be knife car. Like Buggy.

Poor soldiers, "I wish I was home playing MOH" "I don't" awwww

infinite ammo pistol killed the game for me.

LOL reminded me of what they did in Killzone 2. You actually see an Infinity sign by your pistol ammo.....However KZ2 did it right and made the pistol worth Jacksquat when it came to combat XD

 

[Nincompoop]

I think the game looks great, but awesome comic though!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Grey's Corner for every comic, please?

It's nice to see the thoughts that go into the comic.

 

[Siberian Relic]

I already get that the single player is unbearable but I havent heard much about multiplayer other than "its like what we have been playing for a few years now".

Let me say this about that: you thought MW2 had bugs?

 

[Terrified Android]

haha hilarious!

awww, tisk tisk too authentic!

well killzone had a suspension of disbelief for me since this was the 'future'. but for a modern day shooter where you are an elite "tier 1 operator" with guns a plenty from the ungodly amount of taliban you kill, there is no need to have an infinite ammo pistol that is accurate to 1000yds lol

oh and what?! Killzone2 had a pistol?!

also when they showed off the apache gunship lvl off i got sick because you would NEVER see Apache gunships at that range engaging enemies. Also you wont see one without the Longbow attachment. Also rockets don't shoot perpendicular to their launch tubes. (Ok im ranting)

The game reeked of "Me Too" syndrome.

There's really nothing wrong with authentic military chatter. Fact of the matter is that there really are a lot of ways to tell someone to shoot another person, and there really have to be. I have a bigger problem with the fact that MoH apparently ignored their consultants or didn't consult them at all on other things, like calling a mag a clip or figuring out the concept of recoil.

Also, regarding silly nicknames, military nicknames are almost universally stupid. That's half the fun: http://terminallance.com/?p=25

Ha I know how it is. That is just rediculous that a rocket and make a 90 degree downward turn to hit a target. But yeah there were pistols in KZ2. Desert Eagles I believe. And your response was all the more hilarious in that it shows how useless those dam things are XD

 

[SnipErlite]

Totally.

And the whole "realism..But not TOO realistic" thing.

Heh. Only a certain degree of realism necessary.

Well actually, we wouldn't want it to be too realistic. Like, actually blowing your leg off... 0_O

 

[mechanixis]

Beards or it didn't happen.

 

[nipsen]

Yes. Yes, there is. That's actually the problem. The chatter should /not/ be authentic at all. It should be something closer to what you /imagine/ actual military chatter should be like. Trust me, having actual 19-year olds without trigger-discipline whine in your ear for hours to keep their minds off the things they're actually doing for a living is bad. Very, very bad. Unsettling and scary.

..

*cough* ahem. Anyway..

@brilliant authors of comic strip: you win. (Also agree with the first post.. This is stupid, but I'm starting to miss when the games had crap for graphics and four people in the studio. I mean, we're never going to see something like Independence War again, are we. Or a developer like Particle Systems, for example).

 

[Xan Krieger]

Wait, they used the word "realistic" at any point and there's a infinite ammo pistol?

Don't mind me, I'll just be re-playing Operation Flashpoint.

Same here. Now that game had realism. One mission I got shot in the legs but still had to make it back to friendly lines in the next mission. I had to spend the entire mission crawling while avoiding Russians.

Also I play ARMA 2

The irony is that, in real life, that would be awesome. As long as only you had one.

Another great comic, guys! I wish it was more than twice a week =(
