Been in beta for a while now and its promising from what I have read and seen. Looks a lot like Bad Company 2 when played.

I'm still not entirley sold on it yet. Every game I've played that EA and Dice have had a hand in on, has either had terrible AI, bug filled, or both. So far though, it looks somewhat good.

I've been playing the beta for xbox. Seems like a mix of cod and bc2. Beta is full of little bugs and some lag, but most of it should be fixed by release. I'll probably end up getting it, but not right at release date (mostly because of Halo: Reach) and the SP looks like its going to be epic.

Don't expect anything but poop from EA. The company makes good console sports games, but when it comes to war games, especially for PC forget it. I think they got their programmers from Radio Shack.

I've been checking out the website from time to time watching videos, it does look to be a pretty sweet game.  However you could say that about every game in the MOH series since Allied Assault, and they all were trash.  MoH: Airborne was such an incomplete game on launch day I was surprised it was allowed to be released. 

I wouldn't recommend getting hyped about any EA game really, they are almost sure to disappoint.

2nd. EA Games has always hit paydirt with good MoH games. ignore the PSP versions and any console versions (except Rising Sun) and you have the best war game series. It can rival CoD easily. Since 1999 MoH games have proven time and time that they know how to build a great game. MoH Airborne is the only one out of the PC series that i had a problem with. Pacific Assault, Rising Sun, Allied Assault, Underground, the Original, even European Assault was good. Their music scores and soundtracks have put beauty into warfare in many places and times. Hopefully they get the MoH music on the dot for this new age MoH. (i hope that a modern version of MoH hits as big as CoD 4 and 6 did). I've noticed that the gameplay for 2010 MoH will be a mix of CoD and BF2 with a MoH twist. I seriously cant wait. IGN gave it perfect score.

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...

Honestly, Medal of Honor PA was probably the most interesting game I've ever played (since I don't really play that much online except AH.) story wise. When I first got it, I was able to play it again and again, and I still can. I lost my old copy and have been looking to get a new one as well. If I had it, I'd probably play it again as well.

That tells me you played the console crap and never experienced the hardcore multiplayer on dedicated servers, the PC version never had expansion packs for MoHAA. Aside from the horrendous hitbox system, the character controls and movement sucked. In single player, all of the titles were ok if all you were looking to do was frag some stupid AI. A decent player could run through the entire single player mode in 8-12 hours on full hardcore.

If you had played PC multi-player on dedicated servers, you would have seen the differences in quality between CoD 1 and 2 and MoHAA/BT/PA/AB. When CoD was released, even though it needed a couple of patch updates right out of the box, MoH bit the dust. New game modes, better graphics, better weapons system, better character movements, etc... I can't comment on CoD3, since I skipped it. From what I've heard, according to some old buddy gamers it sucked wind. CoDMW is just lame, every noob gets a machine gun and a nade launcher. CoDWaW isn't bad mulitiplayer, but the maps are small and nobody wants to play Japanese.

part 1...i OWN the expansions...
part 2... i agree here up until Pacific Assault. I loved it on single player and it was ok on multiplayer BUT it's understandable for multiplayer how terrible it is compared to CoD. The new age MoH is the only chance they have on bringing Multiplayer back.
part 3... If IW made CoD3 it would have been just as good as CoD1 and 2. CoDMW is built that way because LMGs are support weaponry, MWII leveled it out better with the MGs and noob tubes. WaW was fun but the single player aspect made me want to kill the creators.

Except MoH EA and Rising Sun i never touched the MoH console games. for CoD i got MWI and II for XBox because of what i heard was going on to the PC servers being unmonitored. The only reason CoD kicked butt all along is because of Infinity Ward. When CoD went to another company for anything, it went downhill immediately.

Agreed. Forgot about Breakthrough and Spearhead being expansions...aka "add-ons".

If MOH is going to have a chance with the mulitplayer pc crowd, it's going to have to beat out the new Red Orchestra.

what is a console port? a port allowing console/PC gaming together on the same servers?

i think console ported means taking a great PC game and dumbing the features down for the consoles limited control capabilities and graphics's, CPU power, face it consoles don't have the speed or graphics's of great top end PCs so now they write the games for consoles and give the PC gamer the same version, which most likely will suck, it seems like the game makers are going the console route sense theres greater money in selling console games than PC only versions, the MOH beta was just like CoDMW2 and BFBC2 rolled into one, small maps to where your forced down killing zones, just another run and gun, nade and tubefest, ill stick with BFBC2 till BC3 comes out, but it looks like they will be doing beta testing BC3 on Xbox first so that don't look good for a PC version with administrator rights for our own servers like with the original Moh and CoD series before it went to the consoles

ahh... in the end i loved CoD style gameplay but MoH probably will have more maps that are larger later on since this is beta just like all games... In the end ill buy the game to see how it is
