[ALL] Medal of Honor: Warfighter

[JBregz]

:lol:

Call of Duty isn't a company, it's a franchise. And while some people certainly don't like it, sales don't lie- it is a popular game. I do prefer Battlefield 3 to Call of Duty right now, but to say that MOH is something that can stand on its own is grasping for straws. Online and the thoughts posted by members here essentially sum that up.

My bad, I'm sure you understood what I meant. With that being said I haven't said the game was better than than either of the games you listed. I was just criticizing some of the harsh comments that this game was getting, a lot of nitpicking in my opinion while some of these exact same problems occur in other FPS' including Call of Duty/Battlefield 3.

the game has gotten just as many/if not more positive/semi positive reviews than negative reviews in this forum. The ones disliking it are being a lot more vocal for some reason. If you don't like the game, not sure why you need to continue to come in here and try and belittle the ones that do enjoy it.

Eh, I think it was a bit longer than that. I picked up Homefront from a clearance bin for $10, and that was a legit four hours.

No it wasn't. I can go back to my play time if you want. It took me almost exactly four hours, and that was with looking around for collectibles. My buddy didn't bother with collectibles and beat it in a few minutes over three hours. Fact.

Homefront was very short as well.

That's not terrible IMO and what I was expecting. Four hours is way too short though. I think MW2 was only like 3 or 4 hours and that was a joke.

That's pretty fucking awful. Halo took me longer than that and Halo is about as vanilla a FPS as you can get.

Actually, I'd say this and Homefront were about equal in length.

I actually like LP. I understand how uncool it is to like mainstream bands though.

The bottom line is that, based on what I've played thus far, this game is as good if not slightly better than the last MoH game. Yet somehow that game has a 74 (Xbox) and 75 (PS3) on Metacritic and somehow this game is in the 50s. It just doesn't make any sense.

Don't be a dork. I don't hate LP because they're mainstream, but because it seems like the only way they get attention now is by attaching their new singles to products (all the Transformers movies and now this). They just sound boring.

I've got Katy Perry's first CD in my truck, so your point falls flat.

As for the reviews, I can understand the lower scores. I've watched full playthroughs of both current-gen MoH games now and, as far as I can tell, there is so little innovation in this new one. Sure, they have driving sequences (tech clearly pulled out of NFS: Shift) which are neat (especially the second one with the hiding mechanic), but there's very little meat to the campaign. It's setpiece followed by setpiece with a shitload of tedium in-between. Yes, that's no different than CoD, but to beat it, you have to rise above it somehow.

 

[Twigg4075]

I'm thoroughly enjoying the campaign still. I just finished the foot chase level and then searching the caves. Now I think I'm at that second driving mission that Brnt is referring to.

All I know is that so far this game seems just as good as any CoD or Battlefield game but is somehow getting shit on left and right. I can all but guarantee that BlOps 2 will get no less than an 8 by every outlet out there and it's sticking to the same formula that it's been sticking with for years.

Because it's a formula that works and people will buy it and eat it up. I'm not a COD fan that much by any means, but nothing pulls together my friends list better than the first month that COD comes out.

But the difference, and remember how much I despise CoD, is that at least they're stretching with the plot and setting for BLOPS 2. I watched a playthrough of BLOPS and was quite impressed with the story and how well it meshed with the gameplay. I saw the twist fairly early on, but it was well-executed.

My argument is all about execution. To me, MoH: Warfighter is looking in the right direction, but I have a hard time dealing with a plot humanizing soldiers and their families in the cutscenes while proceeding to make them super-soldiers in the gameplay again.

Gotta play that shit on Impossible Ironman, then.

You get no retries, and if your guys get fragged, they're perma-dead.

Wait...

That was X-Com. :tiptoe:

I might be swayed to play a few levels of SP on Expert but I promise nothing.

While I appreciate "realism" to an extent, if I don't get my Med-Kits or at least some form of health regen (where my pill bottles at, Max?!), I get cranky and switch over to BL2.

 

[JayDizzle]

Also, playing Team America: Warfighter: The Movie: The Game on SP is still rad.

That rabbit chase after the EASIEST TROPHY IN THE WORLD NEXT TO PRESSING START ON THE SIMPSONS was a little aggravating but when you run through live rounds on what equivalates to a Paintball Field, you learn to duck more than once.

You're completely missing my point.

 

[JayDizzle]

Beat the SP.

I've died and respawned at a recent checkpoint enough times to know that the harder difficulties are going to piss me off to the point of not wanting to play anymore.

Now onto either putting in more work on MP with the rest of my FOOT brethern or move on to the COD monster...

Story spoilers:

 

So in the MOH 2010 reboot, you play as and eventually die as Rabbit.

Dude gets no mention other than a fleeting dialogue line from Voodoo at the end... which makes sense because unless you're coming in having played the reboot, you wouldn't really care in Warfighter.

As for the story? From what I gather, we're getting an action movie, paint-by-numbers plot of "there's a highly dangerous explosive that could kill people and we need to stop it from spreading into our borders."

From there, you go from shooting gallery to shooting gallery, killing thousands (by yourself sometimes if you move past a certain point before the game wants you to) until you reach the ending checkpoint.

Same shit happens in every military FPS so no biggie.

What kicks me is that for all the "based on real life events" missions, you don't get a real sense of accomplishment at the end of the game.

You're basically reenacting all the crazy shit but there's no real consequence other than the loss of another major character.

Which, again, is another thing that happens in military FPS'.

Even at the end, with a suttle dig at BF3 on the news report, you see Preacher get the call to go play hero again for what could be the next title.

...but due to the poor sales of Warfighter, it might be a stretch.

Again, if you GOTTA play it, rent the damn thing.

What's your opinions on MP?

 

[Twigg4075]

I think I'm near the end. I'm on the mission on the ship.

 

[Twigg4075]

According to a Kotaku article the PlayStation blog posted that the Zero Dark Thirty map pack (that was included with all Limited Edition copies) is supposed to release this Tuesday. But they took the post down shortly after.

If it does come out hopefully that gives us guys that still have the game a reason to pop it back in.

 

[BigBucs]

My buddy convinced me to get this, found it on ebay for 23 bux. Reminds me a lot of Socom even though its a FPS. Why in the fuck do mics only work inbetween games though?

Is the chat still fucked up?

 

[BigBucs]

Guess so, just got the game yesterday and the shit didnt work.

That's fucked up. I remember there being issues at launch but I thought they fixed them with a patch? Apparently not.
