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

    • Amazon Prime Day slashes Samsung's newest Galaxy Watch Ultra by 45 percent by Karthik Mudaliar Samsung’s flagship Android smartwatch has received one of its steepest Prime Day cuts. Amazon has dropped the 2025 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra in Titanium Blue to $357.24, saving buyers around $292 from its $649.99 list price. That's a 45 percent discount (purchase link below). The 47mm Galaxy Watch Ultra uses a titanium casing and a 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 x 480 and peak brightness of 3,000 nits. It includes LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC, and dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS for more accurate outdoor route tracking. The 2025 model has 64GB of storage, a 590mAh battery, sapphire crystal glass, 10ATM water resistance, IP68 protection, and MIL-STD-810H durability testing. Its health and fitness tools include heart rate monitoring, sleep coaching, Energy Score, Running Coach, body composition analysis, temperature sensing, and ECG support, where available. This model is best suited to Android users who regularly run, hike, cycle, or train outdoors and want cellular access without carrying a phone. The larger battery, rugged construction, bright display, and dedicated Quick Button also make it a stronger option than Samsung’s regular Galaxy Watch models for extended workouts and demanding environments.

    • Google begins rolling out its post-Epic Play Store billing model next week by Karthik Mudaliar Google has confirmed that its redesigned Play Store billing and fee structure will take effect on June 30, 2026, in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Economic Area. The changes will let eligible developers offer their own payment systems or send users to an external website for purchases, while separating Google’s platform service fee from the cost of using Google Play Billing. The rollout puts concrete dates and detailed rate cards behind the broader Android policy overhaul Google announced in March. That announcement followed a proposed settlement with Epic Games intended to resolve their long-running disputes over app distribution and payments, although the U.S. portion of the agreement still requires court approval. Under the new billing choice program, developers selling digital content or services can display an alternative payment option alongside Google Play Billing. They may also direct users to their own websites to complete a purchase. Developers can use Google’s standard payment-choice screen or design one that complies with the company’s user-interface rules. Choosing another payment processor does not eliminate Google’s cut altogether. The company will continue charging a service fee for transactions associated with apps distributed through Google Play, regardless of whether payment is handled by Google, an alternative provider, or a developer’s website. Google argues that this fee covers the value and infrastructure provided by Android and the Play Store. For developers earning up to $1 million annually, the service fee will generally be 10 percent. That rate also applies to auto-renewing subscriptions. When Google Play Billing is used in the U.S., U.K., or EEA, Google will add a separate 5 percent billing fee, and developers processing payments elsewhere will not pay that additional charge. This means Google’s familiar flat 30 percent commission is disappearing, but developers will not necessarily see a dramatic reduction on every transaction. An in-app purchase from an existing user processed through Google Play Billing can still reach a combined 30 percent. The biggest savings are likely to come from subscriptions, smaller developers covered by the $1 million tier, and companies able to move customers to their own payment infrastructure. Google is also offering lower rates through its Apps Experience and revamped Games Level Up programs. Apps and games that satisfy the company’s requirements can qualify for 15 percent service fees on new-install transactions and 20 percent on existing-install transactions. The criteria include performance and reliability standards, support for additional Android device categories, and selected platform features. Those program rates are scheduled to become available in the initial markets and Australia on September 30. For consumers, the immediate effect will depend on whether developers adopt alternative payments and pass any savings on through lower prices. For developers, however, June 30 begins a more flexible but considerably more complicated Play Store economy in which distribution, billing, install dates, revenue thresholds, and program participation can each affect Google’s final cut. Google is also separately developing a Registered App Stores program designed to simplify the installation of qualifying third-party stores. That initiative is expected to arrive with a major Android release later in 2026 and will launch outside the U.S. first. Google says the rest of the world will receive the changes by September 30, 2027, although billing rates for markets outside the US, UK, and EEA have not yet been announced.
