So far out in left field nobody can see it anymore.
The game was good for it's time but it in no way came close to rivaling CoD 1 and 2. Every single MoH title to come out after the original was junk. There were no improvements, just the same tired code and some new eye candy. The Pacific Assault was the first to do something different with supposed ragdoll models but multi-player was horrible. It was also the first change from the Quake game engine, I don't think the Havoc game engine worked well. That was the first game I ever saw that required 2 headshots with every weapon. When MoHAirborne came out, people once again plopped $50 down hoping it would be the saving grace for the game since CoD was getting old...only to be disappointed once again. The fact that it used the Unreal 3 game engine was highly anticipated, and EA did a great job with their propaganda.
If EA gets this one right, a lot of online war gamers are going to be surprised.
My apologies but MoH Allied Assault ran with two add on packs and in my opinion was just as good as the original 1999. Underground was exceptionally good also. And i'm sorry to say this but if there were no improvements but just the same code with new eye candy then what was the difference between CoD1 CoD2 and CoD3? CoD5 was far too unrealistic for my liking. Rising Sun was a great game also, it was different (even somewhat new compared to the others) although it was a console MoH. European Assault could have been MUCH better than it was i'll admit, but the style of gameplay was great even if it seemed like the kills were taken in a crappy hitbox manner. Airborne was terrible, could have been much more than it was but they chose to make small respawnable maps for single player with German Supertroopers with Mg42s on super flak towers that were 5 times as big as the real ones.
But MoH 1999, MoH Underground, Allied Assault with both expansions, Rising Sun, and definitely Pacific Assault were all top of the line. (speaking of PA, what do you mean two headshots? i still play it and i never have a problem with it. One shot one kill for the head.)
And don't deny one bit that the soundtracks for MoH have one upped BF and CoD all along...
