- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I wasn't interested till DICE were doing the multiplayer.
I'll buy it.

Medal of Honor has been around longer than Call of Duty.Furburt said:
Dear game developers,
you managed to suck the WWII scenarios bone dry in the frame of just a few years. It's understandable why hardly any big name developer wants to do WWII anymore. But have you guys ever considered trying to get OFF that threadmill and not make the same mistake over and over again? It's like you're jumping ship, but not to dry land, but to a different boat, and all together. You ever considered this one might sink too in a not-doo-distant future?
Seriously, with the current state of affairs, I give the modern war FPS three years until it's done to death. Thanks to EA, it's already showing signs of fatigue: This supposedly all-new MoH seems to copycat Modern Warfare 2 down to even the most obscure details, even the cover art (supposing it's real) looks kinda the same. That's not to say that this new MoH will be a bad thing - it could actually be doing well, hell, it might even do a lot of things better than MW. But it still feels bland.

Joyous. Another shooter set in Iraqistan for me to ignore while I play FFXIII, AC2 and DA:O.Andy Chalk said:
Wow, never saw that coming... 
I used to love MoH, especially Allied Assault, but this is a tad pathetic. Unless its radically different from MW2 or any games of their ilk (unlikely) then my interest is pretty much nil.
Also, the teaser trailer sucks even more then teasers usually do
I still used to play it until recently, its a freakin fantastic game. Roll on BC2
Try reading the article next time, unless you like looking like a fool

Your avatar, coupled with what you just said, actually made me laugh out loud.GamingAwesome1 said:

most special forces guys tend to keep their hair styles because it helps them blend in with the civvies more. just my .2 cents. also, if moh can pull it off without making it sluggish like say, European assault. i wont complain. also the weapons have to work right, i'm always a stickler for that.qbanknight said:
Haha, those are all on my list. Including some others, namely Mass Effect 2...IckleMissMayhem said:
Dude what about Wolfenstein? That did WW2 (well Nazi's anyway) way before MOH. And what about Rise of the Triads? Wait, forget that one, I might just be the only person outside of the development team that ever played that DOS shareware masterpiece.JohnReaper said:
This is gonna have to be a pretty spectacular game to catch my attention. MoH as a series has been caught in the samey mire for a LONG time.
First of all, I'll say that I never bought a MW game, and don't plan to, I played COD4 a few times and it was good and all but I never thought it was as good as the old MoHs or Killzone 2 and since I have Rising sun and Killzone 2 I figured theres no point in getting MW. But this might be the only FPS that i'm actually looking forward to other than Killzone 3 and Timesplitters 4
And this next bit goes to anyone who says that this is just a copy of MW:
I learned from Gamespot today that Infinity Ward was set up by ex-Medal of Honor workers(everyone probably already knew that but stick with me) so it seems to me to be mirroring the whole Guitar Hero/Rock Band Thing:
Makers of Original Good titles(Medal of Honor:Frontline+Rising Sun and Guitar hero 1+2) split of and make new series with new inovation(Rock Band and Modern Warfare) and then the orignal series releases similar titles(new Medal of Honor and Guitar Hero: World Tour). So by calling this a copy of CoD, your also calling Guitar Hero a copy of Rock Band.
Hopefully though, this long wait we've gone through for this new MoH will be worth the wait, unlike the GH games which come out like rabbits and have little or no differences. Chances are though, because it is being released later than MW, there may be improvements, so it could be a lot better. The developers appear to be re-inventing the series, which could mean either; looking back at past games to see what made them good, or starting from scratch. Both options would be avoiding the mistakes of the recent MoH releases
EDIT: I ought to mention that all the Good MoHs has really good historical opening levels(D-Day, Pearl Harbour) so the new one better have one two, considering its afganistan, I don't really know what it could be

I think the trailer looks really good, alot more real than Modern Warfare. Though too much real in games makes them boring, but I'm sure they will find a good balance.
I am amazed at how many people would take time out of their day to bash the game into the ground based simply on its concept, knowing so little about actual gameplay or anything. Give this game dedicated servers, and the ability to lean, and it should be the best selling game of all time, right? All those people (millions) that want to shoot their buddies up in a modern setting will be rushing out to buy this if it does, right? So we can show IW how we feel about their product?
Or will people just bash it for trying to "rip off" MW2? People should see this as an opportunity to maybe have some critical demands met, or at least light a fire under IW's asses to fix their game.

But... RoTT was set on San Nicolas Island, not in Germany and you were fighting a cult, not Nazis. Its original intention was to be a sequel to Wolfenstein, but that's not how it turned out, however. *Still has the CD for Rise of The Triad: Dark War*captain wow said:
*EDIT* I was just reading the wikipedia entry for RoTT and apparently Apogee are going to look at doing a reboot for RoTT. I don't know any more about it (apparently there will be news coming "soon"), but if it comes to PC I am so ****ing buying it.
