When I say that kind of trailer makes the game look good I mean, "good". It hides behind the fast edits, pumped up music and ends up looking just like any modern set fps game; bland, unintersting and average.

Yeah but to the people who aren't like us it looks amazing which is why the CoD videos appeal to so many people, most don't think about it like that tbh.

I really loved the single player in the last game. The only bad thing about it to me was how short it was. So far, I don't like how it looks like you're going to be playing as different special forces from all over the world (at least from the trailer). If that's the case, the story won't have such an impact as it did in the last one. The last one really captured a sense of camaraderie that's missing from a lot of those "mindless" shooters.

Yeah I have to say, my expectations of this game went really, really down.

I happened to have read a feature article about it in the latest OPM magazine this morning, and I just watched the new gameplay trailer just now, and this just looks like a CoD clone now. Everything I liked about the MoH series prior to this is being bastardized to fit in with the modern shooter mentality. It may very well be fun as hell to play, but it just does not come off as MoH IMO.

I'm really looking forward to the single-player campaign.

ugh, I can't stand the marketing attitude this game has. It tries way to hard to make out that it's all super serious realistic characters & emotionally powerful story. But it just comes off to me as more over blown nonsense.

I prefer serious and emotionally-driven stories over comedic ones like Battlefield: Bad Company & Bad Company 2. What do you mean by "over blown nonsense"?

Why do the trailers look so cool, and when the game itself comes out, its disappointing.

I hope this isn't the case here.

And FrostBite 2.0 was pretty obvious

Exactly, they always use cut scene videos and never actual game play. It looks great and hopefully not more of the same.

Oh, don't get me wrong I prefer the serious & powerful stuff too, but the style in which it's portrayed: the visual effects, the dialogue, the trailer edits, it's all very "obvious" & hollywood. Pairing that with a self serious tone, and I feel it comes off as quite emotionally remedial.

But perhaps it's just the trailers and marketing.

Maybe it's just that way in the trailer, but if they continue with what they did in the last MoH game in terms of the story and presentation, and just up the length, I'll have no complaints.

I thought the overall experience of the first one was pretty great. Yeah it had bugs and could've been a bit more polished but I had no complaints.. Maybe it was a bit too short.

I think they will solve all those issues with the second one and it's using Frostbite 2.0 !!!!!!! It looks stunning!

My fav multiplayer games from the first one:

I tried it, and it's not bad, but it's certainly not good, either. The problem is they didn't fix most of the major issues that were in the previous Medal of Honor, such as the poor spawn system. There's also not a whole lot of guidance given, and the menus are absolutely atrocious -- not well designed, far too much information thrown at you, etc.

The gunplay isn't bad, and there are some really neat ideas, though. The graphics are, however, bad, but my guess is there will be improved textures in the final version (just like the Battlefield 3 beta to retail version).

Played a few more rounds and now, frankly, it is feeling a bit better.

Graphics and Sound, as stated previously, are very good. Especially the sound. Everything relating to sound is how it should've been.

Spawn system, as also pointed out by Anthony Tosie, is, well, pretty bad. Infact I hate it. It should've been more like Battlefield 3'

Guns have a more Call of Duty-ish feeling, which I personally don't like at all, given the fact that how awesome the gun system was in Battlefield 3.

I will most probably get the game only for single-player. I highly doubt I'll spend much time with the multiplayer.

I'll play on friend' PC

:p

Absolutely agree.. the initial feeling is a bit of a turn off but man.. as you start playing, leveling up, when you understand how the game flows it gets A LOT of fun.

The build we are playing has SERIOUS issues but this is the build from E3 I believe. There are issues with menus, lags, spawn issues, recoil and hitboxes are a bit wack, some attachments won't work etc.. but despite this I found it to be very entertaining after initial negative reaction due to it being different from the previous MOH.

This is what the game really looks like when you get into a bit more hectic engagement and people have stuff unlocked.

The single player looks AMAZING

    • Micron reveals AI companies are spending billions to lock up its memory years in advance

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Micron reveals AI companies are spending billions to lock up its memory years in advance by Karthik Mudaliar The demand for more memory is far from over, and Micron is turning the AI-driven memory shortage into a much more predictable business. The company has revealed that it has signed 16 strategic supply agreements backed by roughly $22 billion in customer deposits and other financial commitments. The contracts cover DRAM and NAND deliveries over several years, with some running through 2030. With the AI boom, demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has grown so quickly that large customers are now prepared to help finance future production in exchange for a guaranteed supply. According to Micron’s latest financial results, the company received commitments worth about $22 billion across its new agreements. Around $18 billion is expected to arrive as cash deposits, while the rest will come through other financial arrangements. Micron says the agreements could generate approximately $100 billion in future contracted obligations. They cover around 20% of its expected DRAM shipments and one-third of its NAND shipments during their respective terms. It should be noted that although AI infrastructure is the main force behind the current shortage, not all 16 agreements with Micron involve AI companies. Micron said the customers also include consumer electronics and automotive businesses, two sectors that increasingly compete with data centers for the same manufacturing capacity. HBM is consuming an increasing share of that supply. Unlike conventional desktop or server RAM, HBM stacks multiple memory dies vertically and places them close to an AI accelerator. This gives GPUs and other AI chips access to data at much higher speeds, but it also requires more complicated manufacturing and packaging. Micron says its 12-layer HBM4 memory is now shipping in high volume for a lead customer, with samples also supplied to other companies. The chipmaker has already generated more than $1 billion in HBM4 revenue and says the product is ramping twice as quickly as its earlier HBM3E generation. Samsung has similarly warned that the memory shortage could continue into 2027 and beyond. Consumer memory companies have also had to address sharp increases in DDR5 pricing, suggesting the effects are already reaching beyond the data center. For consumers, that could mean the AI memory crunch lasts longer than expected, even as manufacturers invest heavily in new production.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats by Paul Hill Microsoft has just launched Visual Studio Code 1.126, its latest weekly release. This time, the company has focused on letting you see the total cost of chat sessions to spot expensive conversations; enabling multiple chats per session that run side-by-side in one agent host Copilot session; and letting you browse new folders safely in restricted mode. We have now reached the stage where free AI in IDEs is coming to an end. To help you keep track of your costs, VS Code now lets you see the entire cost of a chat session, rather than just individual turns. This should give you more transparency about which sessions consume the most credits, so you can better manage your usage over time and spend less. For those of you using the Agents window, you know it is possible to run and manage multiple agent sessions at once. In this update, a Copilot session started from an agent host can hold several chats at once. Explaining how this feature works, Microsoft writes: Finally, from this update forward, Microsoft will remove the pop-up when opening an untrusted folder. When you open a new folder now, it will automatically open in Restricted Mode. You will see a banner that lets you manage the trust level of the folder. Microsoft has made this change so that it’s easier to start inspecting code without giving it trust right away. If you have VS Code, you can check for updates within the app now to get this new version. Otherwise, you can download it from the Visual Studio Code website.
    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
