Love the game. As an old guy the game is pretty addictive. I like to use the PS90 supressed. Love to set explosives on tanks or set IEDS on the roads and blow up tanks and jeeps as they pass by. Love it when a tank tries to stock and I set it up into a trap.Basically a lot of stradgy and a good way to pass some free time.

The sniping on that game is awesome. I just figured out that you can play in servers that only allow bolt actions so it is all sniping.

Your avatar is keeling me. In COD4, I liked the suppressed M9/knife combo, but we played in Broadcast 24/7 on our clan server. Had to give up gaming, way too addictive.

I agree that game is shizz.


I purchased it when it came out, then had to wait 3 weeks to be able to play it while they updated it.

Then I was able to play it.

Then I went a month without playing it. and tried to play it again. It wouldn't let me play without updating, and all I wanted to do was play story mode. I had slow internet. Couldn't update.

So then I finally got some internet, updated it.

Then I went a month without playing it. and tried to play it again. It wouldn't let me play without updating, and all I wanted to do was play story mode. I had slow internet. Couldn't update.

Fuck Steam, Fuck whatever the hell BF3 calls their Origin crap. I bought a game to play it, and I don't even bother trying anymore because it always wants to update when I can't. I play at work, single player unless I happen to have enough internet to play online which is very seldom. Haven't even tried in months.

The new Medal of Honor looks awful, IMO. At least the multiplayer does. Turned it into another COD.

The last one was great. Amazing story, though a bit on the short side. And the final boss was a door.

The multiplayer had promise, but the maps ended up being too small and cluttered for the gameplay style it encouraged.

All true, although the multiplayer was separate from the singleplayer... it was made by DICE, the same guys that did the BF series. They just lacked the scale in the first one, hopefully the new one has a longer campaign, better MP, and lives up to all the hype.

I've played most of the BF series. The first one was amazing, they should bring back the large variety of vehicles they used to have - the C130 was a blast, flying circles around the battlefield while someone manned the cannon and your buddies could spawn in the back and parachute out. Oh and wingwalking too.

^Well that was actually Desert Combat, made by Kaos Studios, who were acquired by DICE to make Battlefield 2, then cut loose. They then made Frontlines: Fuel of War, which didn't go so well and Homefront, which was basically Red Dawn: The Game.

For the long distance stuff, I do 12x scope and bipod.

Most of the time, though, I throw on the straight pull bolt, suppressor and the eotech sight and run around sniping people close quarters [ROFL1]

EvilRhino
08-16-2012, 09:43

That's a good set up for the long distance trial and error dialing in. Otherwise you're trying to hold your breath at the right times. You lose that if they're shooting back. Mine actually counted as offhand, as the sniper hit close to me and the suppression effect takes you off bipod.

If anyone is trying to get the 350m with the L96, the 2nd hotel on Oman to A is just over 500 and after lotsa tries on lotsa maps, thats the one I got it on. About 1 1/2 lines up.

I had to replace my hard drive when it happened to me. You know how it says not to power it off when the hard drive light is on? I had a nice 2 second power blip that started it.

My symptoms were: No gun at spawn, couldn't switch to items, knife, etc. Jumping in a vehicle would work fine. The load screen took longer. Other people were spawned and fighting and I was still on load screen.

The good news is its a piece of cake to change it, if that's your problem. I put in a 750gb with a higher spin.

Uh yeah, these days all games practically require some kind of account which is tied to the cd or game key. (Same reason few people for PC at least buy physicaly copies it's done all electronically.)

So unless advertised as unopened very highly likely as something you couldn't get online with. I don't know xbox specifics for that game but even single player could be locked. (I kinda doubt it but you wouldnt want bf3 for single, it's primarily for multiplayer.)

I'd like to get it for PC. But need to upgrade the video card... and can't afford it anyways! Yay, I rock.

Would be interested to hear other opinions, MOH:WF looks like a great game...

Not 100% sure... Going to hit it tonight (360) depending on the weather (if it's bad I'll be playing, if it's nice I'm going to go see Taken 2).
Anyone on Xbox that wants to play- I've played the beta, it's pretty good, it's a lot like BF3 except smaller scale- I'm usually on nights and weekends, Gamertag: RR RONIN

I think the MP is pretty fun in MOH. I wish there was a more realistic game mode though. I can't stand hitting someone 5-6 times with a G3 and not seeing them drop.

They did an awesome job with the guns and optics. The ACOG reticles are on point. They have the chevron, horseshoe, and crosshair that I've seen so far. Also being able to customize paint job, stock, muzzle attachment, mags, etc, is pretty rad.

How is the unlock system and is there a hardcore mode? If so what does it do?

I'm gonna copy/paste my response from another forum...


I'm at the Maersk Alabama rescue and so far the campaign has been rather meh. Having to restart the mission multiple times because the game stops recognizing my keyboard (until I hit escape for the menu) is annoying. The story is meh. The cutscenes with the family definitely fall far into the uncanny valley.

I actually enjoyed BF3's campaign. And thus far, it's been the better experience for me.

Multiplayer is pretty good. Been having some serious high ping issues related to my ISP, so I haven't been enjoying it as much as I could. I enjoy the workbench style customizing screen for the weapons. I wish the game would tell you what weapons you've unlocked accessories for, though. Otherwise it's going from class to class, nation to nation and gun to gun trying to find out what the numbers on the menu are for.

And VOIP needs to be able to PTT, damnit!


How is the unlock system and is there a hardcore mode? If so what does it do?

Rather convoluted, I think. You have 6 classes. And then you have something like 15 nations per class. Each have their own variations of weapons. I'm not certain on how you unlock stuff for it. Might be kill based, but I can't really tell.

God dammit. You are making me want to buy another game and start playing again. I just got into Borderlands 2 and I don't want to buy another game right away if I don't have to. Is MOH really worth it? I have a couple of friends that play it all the time and love it. But they are Marines so I take their video game selection ability with a grain of salt.

10-24-2012, 15:22
There is a normal game mode and an "Imersive" game mode which I assumed was hardcore. Couldn't tell much of a difference between the two as far as damage goes.

10-24-2012, 15:24
I don't agree with Ridge... I love the campaign, it plays very smooth, there is a lot of variation from mission to mission, I'm doing it on normal and it's at just the right difficulty (challenging but not impossible). I have no idea how far along I am, I just finished the Sarajevo mission and thus far the story is really good (on par with a lot of good military movies coming from hollyweird). I'll play MP tonight and see what we'll see, but if it's as good or better than the beta, then you bet your ass I'm going to be hooked on this for a while! [Beer]

From the beta I could tell that the guns are realistic, actual optics, and it stresses working together very well...

How much of it is like that? Seems like about 30 seconds of you gunning, but it's not necessary and no one dies if you miss, then 2 + mins of the boat driving itself, then a minute of you driving the boat while the gunner randomly fires shots. Seems more like watching a movie than playing a game.

Not that the jet campaign mission on BF3 is much different.

Ridge
10-24-2012, 17:17
It's a rare bit. It is essentially like the jet mission in BF3, or the AC130 mission in COD4. So far most of the game has felt similar to Modern Warfare games. You and 1 other guy sneaking around, silently executing enemy guards. Shit goes south, you start running and gunning. Maybe pick up a few indigenous military members to use as bullet sponges, and you blast your way through the enemies until you need to egress.

I just finished what I think is chapter 6, of reportedly 13 chapters.

I haven't been recording most of the more interactive scenes, because the frame rates dip too far while recording to either get decent gameplay, or make it look good.

IGN has been recording their playthrough...here is the first half of the mission I recorded.

I'm understanding the MOH weapon unlock system now. You have the six classes. As you unlock a nation, you get it's character skin and it's weapon. That weapon can be used with any of the other nations in that same class.

I like running around with the German Heavy Gunner's M249. Even the standard optic you first get. It's a magnified ACOG donut with an MRD on top. Makes for a great CQB weapon or a decent one to drop the bipod and just deny the enemy the alley in front of you...

Also, I spawned below the map...

My main, and quite frankly it's a big deal, argument with MOH MP now after playing for about an hour last night, my brother and I partied up, joined a game, and were on the same team, but different fire teams. There is no way to change fire teams, and I got stuck for 2 games on the same squad as some 15 year old with some sort of mental handicap (near as I can guess). [Bang]

Last night was the first time I had started in on the MP and I had the same issue with getting stuck on a fireteam with some idiot. I loved in BF3 how easy it was to change between fireteams but could not find a way to do that in MOH yet. Maybe its something they will add in an upcoming patch.

That's the thing I hate though, always need to have a new patch to fix some things... I was always taught: Anything worth doing is worth doing right the first time...

Ridge, what do you use to record game footage? I have fraps but the free version only lets you do 30 seconds at a time.

Ridge
10-25-2012, 14:23
I have the paid version of fraps. I record to a second hard drive, which makes it easier to do so without as big a performance hit.

Fraps files will go to 3.95Gb in size, then makes another vid. I string them together in Windows Movie Maker, then export in 1080p, which I upload to youtube. That vid took me about 5 minutes to prep and 75 minutes to upload.

There are very few games now-a-days that good when they are released. Back in the late 90s that was the case but now they seem to just push them out as quick as possible and deal with issues afterwards. For example I bought Max Payne 3 during the Steam Summer Sale (what 3-4 months ago) and I still cant play it because of bugs with Rockstar Social Club.

I had some wierd issues last night playing too. I shot a nade from my M79 right next (like 2 feet away) to a guy prone and crouching guy and neither of them died. I come back to shoot my 2nd nade and they were in the same exact spots and I get shot once and die. Granted it was a sniper rifle shot to my upper chest area but still they both should have been dead from that grenade.

Ridge
10-25-2012, 14:30
The problem with games is that, when made for Xbox or PS3, they can get it pretty down on the release version. But with PC, there are literally MILLIONS of different hardware setups. They can't account for that in development. So users have to report problems as they come up so they can account for different hardware setups, different driver versions, etc...

A redneck with cross bow doesn't blow my skirt up, so yeah, I suppose that makes me gay. [Tooth]

BF3 was supposed to be somewhat realistic (I use that term loosely), I don't know anyone in thier right mind that would lug that big F*#()er into combat with them so they can fire ONE silent round, lmao. Those things typicaly need a crank to recock it. I'd rather have a suppressed .22lr. They need to keep that crap in the COD series, next we will have remote controlled cars with C4 packs on them. Shit, whynot have a mini-gun with the back-pack full-o-ammo like the guy in Predator 1 had.

Now, I would like to present the following evidence to support my case, keep in mind, I am not the creator or owner of any of the following images. Their gayness is the sole responsibility of thier respective origins.

The whole point of the DLC is there was a massive earthquake, and they are cobbling together weapons with what they can. It's like BF meets Mad Max. Only with less leather.

We have the remote C4 cars already. Load up a buggy or jeep with C4, have a buddy drive, jump out at opportune time, detonate. Dead tank, 2-3 kills, and the squad mate and buggy are fine.
