Medal of Honor Airborne

[$t3v0]

... Had it for 2 hours and I've completed it :/

I'm quite disappointed with the length of the game, but the scenery and gameplay make up for it I suppose.

The reason I'm starting this topic is for other's to share their grief and anger at how the Medal of Honor series seems to be getting worse and worse as they go on. It all started for me when I played Rising Sun. I turned it off after 40 minutes in disgust, It was completely shite! Now the 36 brings us this piece of beauty with glistening graphics, Nice gameplay but no length!

Spoiler

And those super Nazi's are quite unrealistic. Sure, Germany may have drugged up a line of soliders to take more pain than others and obtain supernatural strength, But I don't see the realism in the fact they can take 7 grenades without a scratch. Get a GRIP EA!

Why do they insist on lowering one quality of the game each time they release? It's starting to piss me off!

Bring on COD 4 baby! :D

Bring on COD 4 baby!

At least we can trust Activision to bring out a better COD every time, whereas I have noticed (since Medal of Honor Underground, yes, that far back) that their games lack that certain playable quality. Mind you, there are a number of WW2 FPS's that put me off, the main being Brothers in Arms. The controls are ridiculous, the AI are stupid (funnily enough, this only applies to the players on your own team), there is no strong love for it like I have Call of Duty. Though I am ashamed they are going modern.

Well, I played at max difficulty, and I really enjoyed it actually. Medal of Honour has been pretty shitty since Rising Sun, but I was just fucking around with a mate on that one with the Mayor's House which is covered in emplacements. Try it on a max difficulty and fuck around- it's pretty alright. COD4 will pretty much kill it though.

Also, we need a British hero.

 

[$t3v0]

The AI on Airborne is immense! The way they push forward and don't sit back ... waiting for you to kill them, It's great! Although it still had that "They hide behind the wall looking the wrong way error", But that could happen in real warfare. Especially if they've been out there for months on end.

I was just fucking around with a mate on that one with the Mayor's House

Wait, what ... Co-operative? It says on the back 1 player but XBOX live capabilities. I assumed this was for PVP, not Coop

I've just this second took it back and exchanged for Stronghold. I'm half way through it already haha. Am I getting better or are games getting easier? :x

Also ...

At the end of Airborne :

Spoiler

The narrator says "American triumph". What it aught to say is "The Ally triumph". Fucking annoying!

Yeah, A British hero is apparently non existant in War games. It's always a macho wacho American with a cigar and an ace taped to his helmet. I do recall bumping into the English on COD 2 on the PC. But as usual ... they were all "Oh tally ho old chap! Want to grab a mild in the local fafafafafafafafafa" ... *dead*

Humph.

 

[Cruelty]

MOH and COD are the same game, but with different titles.

you're kidding, right? i wouldn't exactly call making a numbered title of a series known for PC incarnations CONSOLE-EXCLUSIVE "bring[ing] out a better COD".

MOH and COD are the same game, but with different titles.

Firstly, stupid.

Also yeah every Medal of Honor game I've played lately has been pretty bad. I think the last one I played that I enjoyed was like... Allied Assault or something. And I enjoyed the first level, after which it pretty much devolved into you being a super soldier, and just running around a level killing hundreds of guys on your own, which I'm pretty sure didn't actually happen.

Second... I'm getting tired of the fucking 'if it says anything about America it's bad' attitude. I mean, yeah, 'great american triumph' is pretty inaccurate, but considering that you're playing as an American guy, you ran through a city and killed 900 people (in a most unrealistic manner), and your little faggoty american buddies were there, than yeah, I'd say from your viewpoint it was an American victory.

Also in COD2 I fucking KNOW there was a big chunk of it in British shoes. I remember because I love the guy ordering you around. "DAVIS, CLEAR OUT THAT HOUSE" "DAVIS, GET OVER THERE AND TAKE OUT THAT ARTILLERY" "DAVIS, WE'RE HAVING A TEA PARTY, QUIET DOWN THIS RACKET". My least favorite parts of any of the Call of Duty games are the American parts. It's always like 'oh you parachuted in but fucked up, one-man army your way back to your buddies', whereas the Russian part was fucking intense, 'oh hey we don't have enough guns for you so just scramble up this hill watching all your compatriots get shot and hope to god you don't get shot or blown up'

Urgh, this is dissapointing. Ever since MOH Assault or whatever the last gen incarnation was, they've focused on this really annoying ARCADE STYLE where everything is completely over the top. I liked the "sort of like history but not really" appeal of the older MOH game's but now they're churning this crap series out like it's a budget title.

And Call of Duty 4 isn't WWII anymore. I'm pretty much certain the era of WWII shooters is pretty much dead now. The only ones I find myself enjoying are strategy titles like Silent Storm, Blitzkreig, and Combat Missions (which by the way as always kicked ass).

Well that helped.

you're kidding, right? i wouldn't exactly call making a numbered title of a series known for PC incarnations CONSOLE-EXCLUSIVE "bring[ing] out a better COD".

I would.

Their games are better every time, better graphics, better (more complex) gameplay, harder enemies and therefore improved AI (thank god...). If you don't call that better, go jump in a lake XD

 

[holloway]

The same could be said of Fifa but that sure as hell hasn't gotten better. If you are so retarded as to think adding an extra gun or, get this, a jump button makes more complex gameplay then you can jump in a fucking lake.

 

[badmonur]

whats up with the LOL spam, Its a good game, personally i think the graphics could have been better.

 

[Shifter]

Wasn't impressed with the demo at all..it was aight..but not near as polished as I thought it should be..course..it was a demo..but I've heard bad things of the full release..so no thanks...course..I don't buy FPS anyways COD4 looks good though.

Im just waiting for Mass Effect.

 

[Marcus]

The same could be said of Fifa but that sure as hell hasn't gotten better. If you are so retarded as to think adding an extra gun or, get this, a jump button makes more complex gameplay then you can jump in a fucking lake.

The same could be said about any game in any series. What the hell's so new about today's RPG's except better graphics or some new variation of the same old ass battle systems. It's not games are even pushing the boundaries of story telling like they should...

Innovation doesn't make a good game. A lot of the most innovative games are either horrible or just average or contain elements that are half done or feel unfinished (I'm looking at you Killer 7! YOU HAD SO MUCH STYLE AND SUCH A GOOD STORY BUT ARGH I HATE RAIL SHOOTERS!!!). Call of Duty does one thing: it delivers a stellar game. All of it's elements are near perfect. The A.I. is more advanced than your vanilla shooter, the game's difficulty is balanced so it's never too frustrating or too easy, the scripted events and graphics are cooler, the multiplayer is always tweaked and new maps are added for a better experience.

You get your money's worth and that's all I want from a video game. I love experimentation and I want game makers to experiment, but if EVERY videogame was drastically different from the last then we'd have a stale market being flooded by half-assed products that just don't work. When a developer catches on with an idea, they run it into the ground until a new developer comes along and says "lol, let's make this better!" Look at what Bioshock did with first person shooters or Knights of the Old Republic did for licensed games and RPG's. Look at what Final Fantasy 7 did by giving developers a cinematic approach to a story, or how Metal Gear Solid pretty much reinvented the stealth genre which was (by all means) unapproachable in the previous eras of gaming... unless you were fan of sega and played that horribly stripped down version of Banana Brothers or whatever it was called.

 

[holloway]

I never said COD wasn't good. I was just rebuking the retard above me's comment. COD is a good game, but I wouldn't say it's got much better generally. It's just stayed as is, and that's not really a bad thing.

 

[Yum]

Wasn't impressed with the demo at all..it was aight..but not near as polished as I thought it should be..course..it was a demo..but I've heard bad things of the full release..so no thanks...course..I don't buy FPS anyways COD4 looks good though.

The trailers and gameplay of Call of Duty 4 are so exaggerated though, it all seems so fake (to me at least).

I'd go for Rainbow Six: Vegas any day... Probably the only shooter aside from FEAR set in a first world-setting with intense firefights and a super slick sense of style

EDIT: Few firefights are cooler than this... the player isn't very good though...
