Medal of Honor: Warfighter


Recommended Posts

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

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
