MEDAL OF HONOR

Call of Duty sets high standards? Camping, Jtaggers and boosting lobbies? Sounds top notch to me. Also, Treyarch is coming out with Black Ops, so you can expect a dumbed down version of MW2's multiplayer (Just likethey they did in WaW with MW 1). So have fun playing Black Ops, I'll stick to MoH, until BFBC3 is out, cause Dice knows how to make shooters (and keep modders out... along with Bungie).

Call of Duty must set high standards. Millions of pre-orders don't lie. Dice aside (and I do believe they make decent shooters), most games have to deal with camping and boosting. It's simply a product of the gaming community that exists today. I loved hopping on to Reach three days after it was released to find that all of my friends were already pushing Captain because they can pick up a check point and use a targeting locator. The only reason Dice hasn't previously dealt with much camping is because it takes fifteen minutes to get to where the action is . . . it doesn't often come to you.

Also, it would be impossibly difficult to dumb down MW2's multiplayer. All you need to pull off an MLG K/D game is to attach a grenade launcher to your M4 and use Danger Close with it. It is arguably (and I stress that word heavily) the worst CoD multiplayer to date, with CoD3 being the only obvious exception. In an attempt to smooth the learning curve, they made it so n00b-friendly that it's impossible to tell who's any good. It would just seem that assuming Treyarch is going to make a bad game is about as dumb as I was when i assumed that Infinity Ward would make a good game.

The comment based towards the multiplayer was solely based off of the WaW release. It's pretty obvious that WaW's multiplayer is just a crappier version of MW's multiplayer. As far as the MLG K/D with Grenades and Danger close, you're able to do that in any realistic shooter with explosives. M203's are called noob tubes in every game for a reason, they're all the same weapon no matter what the game. It's not IW's fault that people choose that set up. However, IW is going to be utter crap now since the heads got fired with that contract dispute BS. I really want to see this "CoD Killer" they say they will make when Respawn Entertainment finally gets underway.

EDIT: Also, I only mentioned Bungie because of their Banhammer, which is honestly the best thing about the studio. They don't make empty threats about banning modders like every other company does. Personally, I think the cR system is stupid and I wish Armor was tied to rank like it was in Halo 3.

Alright, they haven't, EA just did corporate banter on their Twitter when the deal was made like Sony and Bungie did to Microsoft. It's obvious they will make an FPS though...

Bold Phrase: You're exactly right. They are the same in every game . . . except for MW2. In previous games (IW and Treyarch both), there have been tubes and a perk that increases explosives damage. Maybe it was only me, but I found the tubes to be a complete waste of an attachment. I didn't find their damage, even with the perk modifier, to be anything a standard frag couldn't put out. In MW2, they powered up the tube to keep it from being a waste of an attachment, but just like many other things in MW2, they went completely overboard with it. Add in a perk that allows tubes to kill by hitting a wall all the way across the street from where I'm standing, and it gets quite frustrating.

You're also correct that it's not IW's fault that players choose that setup, just as it isn't their fault that players use the Marathon/Lightweight/Commando combo. The issue remains that they didn't have the foresight to realize that these things would be horrendously abused. So, I don't blame them for players using it, but how can I blame players when IW so readily served up so many easy kills. In my opinion, this takes away from a game that had the potential to be great.

As for your EDIT: I've never been a big Bungie fan, and I'm certainly no serious Halo player, but they gained a lot of my respect by following through with their ban promises. I figured they were mostly trying that as a scare tactic, but the best way to scare people away from something is to actually do it. Again, my boosting comment was more a commentary on how I see the community more than the game itself, which I've found to be extremely enjoyable.

Now that I've strayed a good hundred yards from the topic at hand, I really enjoy Medal of Honor. I haven't seen any of the single player problems mentioned previously, and I think the multiplayer is a lot of fun. Lag has been a bit of an issue, but that is to be expected when you try to connect 24 people together in one lobby.

it wasnt the demo. i was able to get the actual game last thursday and played it till monday. i got it cause my friend works at a video store and are able to prescreen games and movies so they can give feedback. and we got 4 copys to test with my roommates. 3 for xbox and one for ps3 and none of us liked it. and i have talked with other xbox live friends and most of them did not like it. its pretty much just a ****tier version of battlefield. i liked battlefield but found this game to be stupid.

I love when threads turn into MoH vs. CoD.

Fact is both franchises are under par quality wise. And because gamers keep buying them just because of the franchise they are under the standards have gone nowhere. CoD could probably release a Disney edition and it would sell millions, with people praising it. Most FPS's these day's are just the same crap repackaged in new graphics.

And the MoH vs. CoD is just like the GTA vs. Saints Row deal. Just because CoD has taken hold of the market it doesn't mean all the games released under that name are going to be great and better than that of a franchise that is supposedly copying them.

All the hit franchises of today are far past being milked. Even Halo is heading in that direction (Just because Bungie is gone it doesn't mean Halo is done with, MS owns rights). Sad thing is people just keep lapping it up. Its not going to take long before this milk turns into sour cream.

heres my take on it
Campaign= one of the most realistic feeling single players..simply because it ha1sd A.I. interaction. by that i mean they call your person name and tell you what you should be doing if your not already on point.
also i like the fact if i shoot you in the face with a shotgun...your face is gone along with your head.
multiplayer/online=COD type maps..battlefield style upgrades and guns...there are alot of the same guns in this as there are in battlefield..wonder why...same people made it..but that doesnt take from the realness of it or the fun of online
even in regular games...m24 sniper rifle no mods..kills in one shot which i find is good because even though its normal..it still real enough to have actual damage..unlike in COD..regular mode..it takes two body shots even with the .50cal to effectively kill
but i dont like it as much as i do CODMW2..simply because im more of a COD fan then i am MoH..dont get me wrong its fun..but some parts arent realistic like CODMW2 as Sploink pistol kill from m24 range..BS but still happens..also there seems to be a lag problem with online...even when CODMW2 first came out i didnt have this much problem out of it..and i got it the night of its release and instantly hit MP..instant online no hinder...MoH..took me 2 attempts a restart and another attempt before i finally got on
TIER 1=fun but doesnt seem to have a point..besides for the aspect of looking at your friends and saying "HAHAHA i have a better run through time on so an so map and more headshots then you" other then that its nothing more then a spec-ops type thing.
ALSO..oO Sploink Oo..you are right in some ways..i have noticed it will glitch and some things wont fully come in or they change colors and stuff...but ive not experienced the stopping me from finishing the map glitch...as for MP i have had that happen too..which is bull but still not to bad

I'm not too impressed with MOH this time. Ive played the others and the gameplay was so much better before. I beat the campaign in approx 4 hours, as lame as that was, to me the multiplayer was even worse. Of course this is only my opinion, but it almost like they knew we all have been itching for the release of Black Ops and we would buy this game to tide us over; therefore programmers did a mediokre job and rushed it into sale. I think I'm just a COD freak and biast. Dunno, but does any one else have the same thoughts?
