Medal of Honor: Airborne Demo

[R-DEV]Cheeseman · 08-22-2007, 06:46 PM

I'm happy to inform some of you that the new Medal of Honor: Airborne demo is being released tomorrow on both the Xbox360 and PC:
http://www.ea.com/moh/airborne/index.jsp

The game runs on the new Unreal Engine 3 and judging at how well Bioshock (also runs on the UE3) ran on my system, I'll be trying them both on the 360 and PC.

"EA has expressed a desire to make the game extremely mod-friendly". How many of you actually plan on getting this game?

Every MoH game was a disappointment to me. I'll try the demo but probably wont buy.

FACT:

Combat will rearly occure past 100m in range.

There will be no forests or real open fields.

These things means combat will be too fast for any form of real tactics. Quite possibly worse than even the orginal COD.

Therefore i am not interested in the game.

I saw this only from perspective: It's begging of era of dynamic SP games

The graphics are sorta funky =/
COD4 is the same game except with modern weapons...

Once I play the demo, I'll see if I'll buy it or not. That's what demos are for right?

The only reason i'll be checking it out is because the whole airdropping into combat system. Sounds like it could make for some interesting fights. It also will have 4 player co-op. Other then that its probably still the same MoH re-hashes were used to by now.

Also, Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway is going to be the shit. (too bad i didn't get that in that fact thread before it closed.)

Oh. God. Look away for the love of all things decent. MoH: Airborne is much much much worse then i could have imagined. I was thinking for some reason it would be halfway decent. Must have confused memories of medal of honor with memories from call of duty at some point....

Picture this; take the same stale gameplay from the previous medal of honors, combine it with terrible AI (some of the worst i've seen a while actually), guns that look and feel like toys, crappy graphics (even maxed) wrapped in a really really heavy blur effect, and hideous sound.

There. I just saved you a half an hour (not to mention download times) and a bad taste in your mouth.

Bottom line: STAY AWAY FROM THE MEDAL OF HONOR DEMO!
If you like games that are realistic, tactical, well designed, or even slightly enjoyable then look not there. Makes CoD look like OFP.

Are you kidding me?
I thought it was incredible. Hardest difficulty = lots of tactics needed, you'll get killed in a couple of shots. They introduced a new system of using cover where you duck, peek out, duck, reload, etc. Cover is VERY important. But also yes I did notice stupid AI behavior, but show me a game that does not have it, even brothers in arms has stupid AI behavior(and speaking of stale gameplay, cover fire and flank sums up all brothers in arms games).

It was really immersive, far better than any previous MOH or COD game.
And the game looks incredible maxed out...in the screenshots they do look strange but in game they're incredible. I also dont know what heavy blur you're talking about. I assume you're talking about bloom, this game has barely any of it.
As far as guns, its not that bad. You can't spray, you wont hit crap. You have to take careful aim. I've taken careful aim at soldier's heads and missed, so even that is not a sure shot. Sound is pretty nice, I dont know what sound card you have but with an X-FI XtremeGamer the sound is pretty awesome. You can hear fire directionally, different sounds for when bullets hit different things....
I'll take some screenies later, but I thought this game was really entertaining and pretty incredible. Yes this is definetly not a simulation like PR or ArmA try to be, but that doesn't mean its not fun.

I played through it twice and can't wait to buy the game.
This coming from a guy who hates games like Unreal Tournament, Bf2142, Quake Wars, so don't confuse me for a run and gun junky.
