New Medal of Honor, First time out of WWII - now in Modern Afghanistan
Realistic Modern Shooter, DICE made online component.

Mailman posted first so my little mention should probably just be merged with his. sry for the inconvenience.

Official Game Page
Pre-Order gets beta access June 21st - 17th if you own Bad Company 2(& Pre Order)
Beta Info
Pre Order (Impulse)

$59.99 PC

Apparently EA's Medal of Honor will utilize two different game engines when it's released later this year. DICE, who is working on the game's multiplayer component, will use their Frostbite 2 game engine for MP. Frostbite 2 is the same engine being used in Bad Company 2, and will support DX11 graphics.

EA LA is working on the single-player component of Medal of Honor, and they've apparently decided to use Epic's Unreal Engine 3. UE3 isn't as advanced as Frostbite, but it's definitely a more battle-tested engine that's probably more familiar to the EA LA team than Frostbite 2 is.

With DICE working on the multi component of Medal of Honor, gamers may be worried that it could play like Battlefield. Apparently though DICE is going for a completely different multi experience. In an interview with Planet IGN, DICE's Patrick Bach said: "But then again we're not striving to make a new Battlefield – the goal is to make a completely new IP and make sure we get the best possible multiplayer experience for that IP. I've been play-testing it – and it really is good. We're using the Frostbite engine and it's amazing to see how it can build a completely different experience." from firingsquad

Announcement Trailer Video

Game Description

Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators.

Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan.

There is a new enemy. There is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.

Looking for in game screens, not much luck yet.

It looks great!

Game looks pretty good from what I saw at the E3 press release. Similar to COD:4 but still very similar to BC2 mechanics. I'd love to play the beta, mostly just because it's new, but I don't know if I can justify paying now just to play the beta.

you can normally return a pre-order before release date - even if there is a beta.

you could have with bc2 and i did with star trek online. I'm not worried about it being worth it - but i've got that avenue just in case. I always like MoH soooo much more than CoD , but WW2 needed to change... and now it has

the price i didn't know .... and DX11 i have no idea yet.

OK so MP will support DX11 with the FB engine but single player will run on UE3. I just read that UE3 can support DX11 but knowing how FB handles and how UE3 handles I think it's going to be strange playing single player and switching to MP.

Anyone else think of a game that runs 2 completely different engines in SP and MP?

[lemode]

Look more like COD than Bad Co 2…I’m quite over FPSs so I doubt I’d bother playing.

[tigger]

Its by ea they will feck it up as usual.

For some reasons I'm more excited about the BC2 EP Vietnam than this.

actually yeah, that 15 sec clip got me psyched for BC2 more than the whole MoH feature did for it...

Got to agree, I don't see why this game is using UE3 for SP, go universal with Frostbite, it's a great engine.

Well yes and no.

This thread is about the game itself not screenshots, engines, or trailers. Just the game with some info on the beta.


I'd say this thread is still relevant.

[1Kurgan1]

Trailer looks good, only reason I can't stand COD is because of damn randomated rotating spawns, not in any way shape or form tactical at all. But looking at the minimap it looks like they have a strong front pushing 1 way so I'm assuming you both start on your own sides, and the cell phone C4 made me laugh my ass off, I will be yelling ALLLAAA whenever I plant that. It looks like that vids off a 360, and the graphics really look pretty crappy too me, so hopefully the PC version really shines.

10 minute of gameplay footage: http://videos.pcgames.de/v/MuuqC3iXM...eplay-E3-2010/

Even though the frostbite engine looks good, it makes for crappy single player experience. That is probably why EA is using UE3 engine.

[1Kurgan1]

Been watching a bit more footage, the mortar strike is WAY to OP. Instant call and lands in like 5 seconds. I'm betting that will change.

The bots made for a crappy SP experience, the game feels exactly the same to me, just with bad AI.

I agree, crappy programming made BC2 SP fail. The engine works fine for the story to be played in.

Blame the actors not the stage.

It is more than just bad AI. The game felt overly scripted, the way it tells a story is poor, how the levels progress felt like map changes in multiplayer, and why does the last mission take a minute to complete is beyond me.

[EastCoasthandle]

Who in their right mind is going to by a PC game for $60 when they haven't patched the last game yet?

[tigger]

Right on

And none of that has to do with the engine. A games going to feel like crap when SP and MP are vastly different, especially when MP is going to look much better an have destructible environments, unless they are removing that, in that case, I might have to pass on this.

watched that and the game does not look that special imo. if it had been released before mw2 / bc2 then it would have been a good hit
