According to Playstation Blog's latest drop, it should be on the PS Store as well.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter (Also on PSN) – A First-Person Shooter featuring covert Tier 1 military operative combat. The game is a sequel to the 2010 release, Medal of Honor, which moved the long-running game series from its roots in WWII based gameplay, into modern warfare scenarios and true-to-life conflicts. The single-player campaign features mission play involving returning characters “Mother,” “Preacher,” “Voodoo” and others in operations after their service in Afghanistan. Multiplayer modes include 2-20 player support in which players have the ability to play as one of 13 real special ops units, from 10 countries.

The major sites just got their copies yesterday from what I read and EA also made them promise to download the launch day patch today before they began writing their reviews. We may or may not get a copy of the game. The PR guy was being kind of obtuse in our exchanges and now I believe it is more a lack of confidence in the game than just not wanting to interact with us.

i get not wanting people to trash the game. but if in fact the game does fail miserably, they will get pounded even worse because they attempted to hide the flaws by not allowing reviews.

people are skeptical when there is no demo, so idk what EA thinks they are going to get away with. So they sell their week 1 sales and piss off there fanbase. get bashed by ever media site out there, hurt their future credibility with this and other games.

if the game has problems and its simply not ready, then wait. they knew if it was messed up before producing all those discs. So hold off a month and come out looking like a winner by telling everyone what the issues are and why the delay. people will understand and the media will respect that choice and give them love for being a good guy for a change.

Their demo was the beta, and they missed out by making it 360 exclusive. They definitely could have used that to try to convince people like me on the other platforms who got MoH and wanted to see some of the improvements in the game.

EDIT: GiantBomb stream.

I think in cases like this the possible additional sales they will get far outweigh any negative press. Assuming it is a shitty game, which I'm not saying it is because I don't think sending review copies out early is definitive, by them withholding the copies they ensure people like Swarley will still buy it anyway. Whereas if they sent out copies on time and it was getting shitty reviews left and right chances are Swarley would not get it. There are tons of people that enjoyed the first one (I'm in that group) and will just buy this one based on that.

Also keep in mind that they did this with Battlefield 3 and that game is fantastic.

Avoid until they fix the issue with the headsets online.

The menus are hard enough as it is to navigate...

-Unless you've played BF3 or are getting a brand-new copy, you're at the bottom of the barrel in terms of unlocks.
*Not all of the classes are unlocked to start with, which is fine due to the extreme specializations you can get into; but it's not good when you initally
want to play as a U.S. Navy Seal and come to realize that you gotta dump hours of time into the MP JUST to unlock the ability TO unlock him.

Depending on your definition of "replayability", your overall patience or general malaise towards FPS' in general, you may not have the stomach to sit there and take your lumps to get what you want.

*Also, your guns for the afformentioned are sans parts that you'll actually want so I hope you saved up some vacation time.

-NOBODY has headsets online (just like MAG and BF3, where you really aren't going to find griefers versus COD where your mother's a whore by default) so on top of the team audio being either unhearable/busted, nobody's gonna know the psycho murderer with the AK behind the door is waiting for them.

So yeah...

Fun on MP so far if you can stomach all of this awful.

The most annoying thing to me had to be the menus. They are very confusing at first. Then I was not too happy about not being able to go to a different character in a different group (like switching from a Navy character to an Army character). I wish I would have known that from the get go, but whatevs, I can live with my meh choice. It does suck that the communication seems to be broken. But overall once you get into a grove it's pretty fun.

 

[Twigg4075]

You peer pressuring dicks pushed me into ordering it. Hopefully I can pick it up Thursday after court.

[CCBrink]

Yeah I like it a lot. Definitely feels like a "lighter" BF3. DICE really stepped their game up with the tuning of the Frostbite 2 Engine. I've never been shot at, but it seems like they really captured what it would be like well. Bullet sounds in Warfighter >>> Overall the sound in the game seems improved over BF3.

 

[PepperNY]

Ive been playing the single player so I cant comment on the multiplayer but I am having an absolute blast with the game. But then again I enjoyed the first one. As Brink commented you can definitley tell the difference with the frostbite 2 engine and the game feels alot more realistic then the last medal of honor.

 

[Swarley]

I think it feels like the perfect in-between for Battlefield and Call of Duty. You have the awesome engine and teamwork of BF while not having to put up with the awful perks and kill streaks (there are some things, but on a much smaller scale), and then you have the faster paced gameplay and the smaller sized maps that are more like Call of Duty.

Sounds to me like it's not worth sitting through unless you are a hardcore shooter gamer.

 

[padman59]

How are the multiplayer maps? I'm hoping Danger Close did better than what DICE cobbled together on the last one.

 

[JayDizzle]

It's not one to play unless you have an established Clan... like the newly reformed [FOOT] Clan...

Or you have some Battle Bros to hold it down with you.

Once they fix VOIP (I don't care what anybody says, switching it to 'Fire Team' or 'Squad' doesn't fucking work), it'll be gravy.

Two-man teams as an idea is great but again, if I can't warn you about the 7 guys who had a parade on my face two seconds ago, it means nothing.

Jay sending me invites and I don't even have the game. :shifty:

Jay sending me invites and I don't even have the game. :shifty:

There's a button you can hit in the menus that allows you to mass spam invite everyone on your friend's list.

I hit it by accident and didn't realize my mistake until it was too late.
