Things won't get any easier when you join up with the Soviets either, as they begin their final advance on Berlin. Heavy street fighting is promised, although if realism is adhered to you can expect to be up against dogs strapped with explosives and year-old boys hastily conscnpted into the Hitler Youth.
We might even be allowed to drive a Russian T tank into the burning Reichstag. EA isn't scrimping on the multiplayer game either. At least ten new multiplayer maps are under construction, with an equal amount of fan-made levels under consideration. As well as traditional deathmatch, assault and team deathmatch modes, we're also promised now multiplayer options, the rumour being that vehicles may be involved.
Whatever the case, if EA delivers only half of what they promise, the end of the war can't come soon enough. Playing A Beta is a risky thing. It's very easy to fall into the trap of thinking what you've got is finished code, especially when things go wrong.
At the time of writing Medal of Honor is due out in just under four months' time, and there's a lot of work to do to make this worthy of the franchise's name. Or at least the first one. Yet there isn't one issue in the beta that can't be fixed, nor is there any question about the game's fundamentals, which are tried, tested and extremely popular.
As its being made by the company behind Battlefield, Medal of Honor has a pedigree that makes tills ring around the globe, but in a world where time is limited and a gamer's attention is held by the likes of the Call of Duty franchise and Bad Company 2, it's going to take more than a good reputation to dislodge the behemoths of the military FPS genre.
The multiplayer beta showcased two of MOhfs game modes that'll be on offer when it's released - team deathmatch and an objective-based assault They're both familiar, perhaps overly so. The team deathmatch map is very similar to Modem Warfare's Backlot map, set in a partially constructed section of Kabul.
It plays just as you'd expect - the battle lines shifting constantly and your back needing eternal watching because you never know when an enemy will come from behind to bury a dagger between your shoulder blades. The second mode is of more longterm interest although it's a clone of Bad Company 2s Rush mode. One team has to defend a location against a perpetually spawning group of attackers. This mode works just as well as Rush, delivering incredibly tense action interspersed with frequent comedy rag doll trips into the land of the dead.
The beta demonstrates that the fundamentals are being adhered to, so if you liked Modern Warfare and Bad Company 2, you'll like this. As we played an early beta, it's worth stressing that the following criticisms will likely be addressed by DICE over the next few months, but currently they're all relevant.
The most obvious problems are the lack of team balancing and restrictions on which team you can join during games. At one point in a particularly gruelling match, where the team were being spawn-mortared and sniped, a tap of the Tab key revealed the sides were 10 vs 4, in favour of the defenders.
The worst thing was, it was still possible for a player to switch sides and make it 11 vs 3. A full server at least guarantees even sides, if the server browser lets you in. During our play test it was flaky, with either the list failing to refresh or the connect button remaining unresponsive.
Once in, there are plenty of ' other niggles plaguing players: a text chat system that freezes the player in place and requires a death to clear it from the screen; no information as to who you've just killed; no information as to which server you're on; a friends system that deletes your buddies when you try to click the join button; and even the lack of information as to your latency.
There might be tonnes of little flaws and oversights that an experienced developer like DICE shouldn't miss - really basic things like the team balancing - but there are plenty of reasons to be positive, because MOhfs foundations are as good as you'll see in any other modern multiplayer shooter. When it works, MOH's reboot is the equal of anything out there, and all of the problems should be fixed by the time the game comes out. They're not crippling flaws, but glitches and oversights that'll likely have been fixed and included by the time you read these words.
When this is the case, we'll be able to get a much better idea of what Medal of Honor is going to be. At the moment, the beta has provided far more questions than answers. The People Behind the scenes on the Medal of Honor project say the game will be split into two distinct parts.
Not literally, a la StarCraft II, but there will be two intertwining threads providing "variety" - a similar structure to that seen in Modern Warfare 2. They'll form a brute-force front-line attack that'll deflect attention away from the second strand, the Tier 1 special forces blokes, who prefer to take things smooth and slow: the 'scalpel' to the Rangers' hacksaw.
The room in which us journalists types are hearing all this is relatively plush. There's also a weird setup with big headphones going on, where the throng have to tune them to a specific frequency in order to hear the in-game audio.
What appears on the screen, once all the headphones business is sorted out, is everything you'd expect from a modern desert-based shooter: it's very sandy and people shout "Tango Down" a lot.
This particular presentation is focusing on the US Rangers, a team of regular GI Joes complete with a sickeningly sugary intro video, showing the hero penning a heartfelt note to his sweetie back home who have to get the job done. This mission follows a familiar path - the squad have to take out a machine gun nest that's preventing some allied helicopters from landing.
Destroy the nest, secure the landing site, the usual. What makes the mission more interesting isn't the action, which is fairly routine stuff, but the setting.
The accusations of Medal of Honor being a copycat and riding on the coattails of Modern Warfare 2 have been flying about already, but credit has to be given to EA LA - they've done a good job at giving their game a fresh setting. It seems strange to say this, and it's perhaps something that can only be said once you've seen the game in action, but there's a substantial difference between this game and its rival.
An odd thing to say, considering the blatant similarities apparent in this game and Infinity Ward's game. Medal of Honor feels and looks like it's set in Afghanistan, especially when the squad starts making its way through a canyon, flanked by enemies on the surrounding cliffs. In some ways, a fairer comparison would be Bad Company 2, as the in-mission chatter between Medal of Honor's characters evokes that game. There's more depth to these guys than the ones in Bad Company 2 though, with characters providing a "mag report", detailing how much ammo they've got, or perhaps even asking whether you need to restock your own bullet supply.
Despite this, it's difficult to shake the feeling we've seen and done all this before. If the game's name wasn't emblazoned all over the room we were in, it would've been tough to work out what game we were seeing. This is an issue if you're fed up with military shooters, but not if you're not. Certainly, a lot of the those attending seemed jaded and were finding it difficult to muster significant degrees of enthusiasm, much like when WWII shooters seemed all-pervading.
Though from what has been shown Medal of Honor should end up being, at the very least, a solid 'epic shooter', set in a surprisingly different environment and featuring all the bluster and bombastic action you've come to expect from this sort of game. Another reason to be optimistic is that DICE are crafting the multiplayer component, so if everything else suddenly implodes upon itself and we end up with a game that rivals Rogue Warrior for naffness, at least we'll have a good time scrapping with ourselves.
There are still a few unanswered questions that could lower the belt on the Trousers-Off-O-Meter a bit more too, such as whether there'll be a co-op mode or dedicated servers. There are also the unseen Apache helicopter missions, which could easily turn out to be pant-shredding in their brilliance. Lessons will surely have been learned from certain other titles in the crowded military shooter genre, so now it's just a question of how EA LA will meld the new with the overly familiar.
While the trousers aren't descending below the knee for now, there's still that chance they could fly out the window given the right developments.
There have been a couple of decent games put out but the fact is, you just don't see them done that much and the few that you do see have you blasting aliens or robots. You go in armed only with weapons that the soldiers of the 's would have. It is up to you to complete seven different missions across 24 levels that include going undercover, blasting everything in sight, and sabotage.
Since this game was made by Dreamworks Interactive, they were able to use all of the research from the making of the movie Saving Private Ryan so you know the historical facts are all accurate. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to battle through WWII, here is your chance to find out. I don't know where to start, so I guess I will just dive right in. This game is not the best technical feat you will ever see but it more than makes up for it in the story and gameplay.
I don't know about you but I actually get tired of blasting aliens. Call me crazy but it was a breath of fresh air to actually play a FPS where the enemies were actually people instead of aliens. I am not a huge history buff but I really found the premise of this game quite exciting.
Going into Nazi Germany and getting an idea of what it may have been like in real life just added an extra air of coolness to this game. I simply can't believe that it has not been done before now.
The game is based around a number of different missions that range from sabotage to outright killing. At the beginning of the level, you will receive a briefing on your operation. The missions sound very complex when you are in the briefing sessions but the game does a good job of making the objectives easy enough to obtain.
Actually, the objective portions are almost too easy to obtain. You basically run into most of your objectives and little brainwork is required. I would have liked to have seen a little more thinking involved but this point is just minor. A quick example of a mission has you dressing as a German officer, sneaking on a supply ship, finding the ship's manifest and disabling it. Like I said, it sounds complex but the hard part will be making it past the enemy soldiers.
The real stars of the game are the Nazi soldiers. Their reactions and behavior are unparalleled in any other PSX game. Actually, the enemy AI rivals PC games and even exceeds them in some places. While it's been a few years since 's Warfighter , the series is looking to reclaim some land with Above and Beyond , which is scheduled for a late release. This list is kept up to date with all new releases and includes everything from Medal of Honor: Frontline and Medal of Honor: Rising Sun.
So if you're wondering, "What are the greatest Medal of Honor games? Vote up all the best releases, and vote down the ones that weren't good enough to win the war. Frontline takes its opening scene directly out of Saving Private Ryan and features numerous callbacks to the movie throughout. In the first-person shooter, you fight through various levels set throughout World War II using a range of unique weaponry from the era. EA makes Patterson the star of the D-Day level in an attempt to streamline the plot and reduce any confusion the player might have from switching main characters.
Did you know: The soundtrack for Frontline spans 70 minutes and was written by an piece orchestra. Accompanied by a full chorus, it was the most ambitious score to a Medal of Honor game to date. In Allied Assault , you play as Lt. Mike Powell, an army ranger working for the OSS. You engage in single-player missions as you take on German bases in Norway and Algiers, leading up to storming Omaha Beach on D-Day as you rescue your companions behind enemy lines.
There are also four different multiplayer modes, including a Deathmatch mode where your objective is to kill everyone else in play. There are four areas you play in as Lt. There are five elements you can do within each mission, and if you complete all of them, you're awarded a gold medallion. In the event you miss one or two of them, you only get a silver or bronze medallion, respectively. Did you know: The game was originally titled Medal of Honor: Dogs of War , but the studio wanted to avoid an implied connotation with mercenaries.
Pacific Assault puts you in the shoes of Pvt. Did you know: Although the game is primarily a first-person shooter, there's one level where you fly an SBD Dauntless in the midst of a dog fight. Pacific Assault is also the first Medal of Honor to feature blood in the gameplay. You face predetermined enemy types from SS Storm Elite to Italian Blackshirt soldiers with increasing difficulty as the game goes on. Did you know: Due to the nonlinear gameplay, Airborne relies on an immensely-imported version of Unreal Engine 3.
Airborne also features a stunning score from composer Michael Giacchino, who had been on hiatus after Frontfline. You help your fellow crewmen and put out fires before using a turret to shoot down planes. You then get stationed in various locations in the Pacific in this game that offers both single-player and multiplayer gameplay. Did you know: A sequel was originally planned where you would have played as Joe's brother, Donnie.
However, it was canceled after Rising Sun was released to mixed reviews. Prepare for your "finest hour". Sign In. Video Game T T. Action Adventure War. Writers Peter Hirschmann Steven Spielberg. See more at IMDbPro.
