Do EA seriously think that they can compete with Activision? (MoH Vs CoD)

I've provided my thoughts on the game so far including both SP and MP.

You didnt find any note worthy bugs!? You havent played it long enough then :roll: I had to restart 4 checkpoints because the game refused to carry on and the squad just stood there looking at me like idiots!

Hmm, I've not experienced this on the PC. I get the impression you are playing this on the xbox360 (I've read a few complaints like this on the console)? If so, then they did a better job on the PC ;). If not then perhaps you missed something.

for sure.. my only complaint on PC is the CONSOLE GRAPHICS... but i guess i can live with it.

I still don't understand all the hate for this game. the worst thing i can find to say about it is, it's ok. it's not as good as i hoped or expected, but it's not a bad game. if you flip out at every game that doesn't blow away your expectations ... i can't think of too many games that would be left to play...

There was competitive FPS gaming before COD came along, 1942 DC mod had a ton of clans that were very competitive and that had lots of vehicles. Just had to have people good at all forms of things and a good strategy, vehicles are not made for kids, that I will have to disagree on.



It's not that there isn't good ones out there, it's that reaction time you don't get. Like on Bad Company 2 on console, I can be running straight and in the corner of my screen I can see a guy coming up on me to knife me, but sometimes you just can't turn fast enough to stop him, on PC you can. And it bothers me to no end when it's a limitation of hardware, when I can see something coming, but it's impossible to stop. Or even if you see someone give away their location on the minimap right behind you, but on a console you would take too long to turn around and kill them, so you just have to keep sprinting and hope to get away. On BC2 I kill people who think they are sneaking up on me all the time.

iv never played xbox 360 on line just all single player games i played on 360,
God that sounds like it sucks big time what you say about bc2 on console
and i thourt us p.c gamers had it bad with LAG lol

Seriously? A game where aiming is not a necessary skill is a good shooter? :eek:
The last time I saw auto-aiming being annoying like that was in Rebel Assault 2...
GoW2 didn't hit the PC because it sucked royal ass compared to real PC shooters, just like GoW1 did.

If any console could do a decent FPS it's the Wii, the Wiimote is perfectly convertible to a gun. Maybe Sony will do something like that with the PS Move.

But MoH vs CoD? The name Medal of Honor is simply being dug up because gamers like us remember the good ol' days up and including MoH:AA. Next, EA seeks some controversy in the news, boiling up the buzz, and the game will sell either way upon release.

These guys are market specialists. They know what they are doing as far as sales are concerned. Is the game any good? Is it better than CoD? That's irrelevant.

out of 80 or so games i played on 360 befor i was hit with rrod :banghead:
Gears of war 2 was more the fun side playing that game for me in single player
it was one the best games iv seen on 360 at the time,
just one them games for a kick about for 2 hours or so game playing
Not much skill in it i no but for me it was just a blast playing it

I didn't notice any problems but there are tanks, jeeps, etc that come from both sides of the mountain. You're constantly reminded to no let them get to close to the air strip.

Well, the new MOH may be a copy (as far as multiplayer, achievements etc) but the things it 'copies' are the things gamers are screaming for so its not fair to say its copying. If those features are not what we want we have to say it. Also CoD is a copy of MoH, The CoD1 team just picked up where the MoH team dropped the ball.

The new MOH have nothing to do with the old ones. SP by Danger Close, which is formed by EA just for the reboot. MP by DICE.
Old MOH gamesAA: 2015, other games: EA LA ->Danger Close
Old MOH went to shit after some people left 2015 to form Infinity Ward. go figure.

true but still good game tho

Awesome game. But its a 3rd person shooter, so your argument is void really (because you cant compare a 3rd person shooter to a 1st person shooter)

Of course it has to do with the old ones, its a reboot for sure though. (Hopefully it goes like the hulk reboot went, and it is at least better than the last MoH)

i dont know about ya'll but the crown never left Counter Strike Source & the Half Life Series!!

of all the "fps's" out there, CSS will always have my vote hands down.

Seriously, people who prefer Source or 1.6 over CS 1.3 :shadedshu 1.5 was the longest lasting good mainstream version, but nothing beats 1.3.

Stop being nit-picky the dynamics of those are nearly the same. I wish they never iced vip mode though.

This thread is about nitpickiness, but Source is really shit compared to 1.5. There's no nitpicking about that, it sucked on all kinds of points. And so did 1.6.

I still like Battlefield 2 more than any new fps. I guess its the 32 vs 32 not that 6 vs 6 crap.

this is why BF2 rocks
1.HUGE maps
2.lots of people
3.tanks, cars, apcs
5.skipped number 4
6.JETS get there own category
7.no kids jumping off buildings doing 360 no scoping you in face.
8. MODS
9.get stabbed from 10 meters away
10. never gets old.
and
11. can get it for under $20cdn

know if BF3 has all those + updated graphics of course then its going to be a HIT
