Medal of Honor: Warfighter |OT| of Knock Knock, it's Tier 1
- Thread starter Lagspike_exe

If you have BF3 or any CoD, I doubt it.
Thanks for the impressions. I'm still waiting for more SP impressions. If the tone at atmosphere of MoH 2010 is still there I'll pick it up at some point.
Played for a couple hours today before work.
Graphics are alright. BF3 looks way, way better, and runs better too. The weapon customization looks to be pretty damn deep though, way deeper than I've seen in any other shooter.
The maps are very average, with the exception of a few. That jungle map with the pathways through the trees was just lol worthy.
The net-code works really well, no lag from what I've seen.
I really like the fireteam buddy aspect to it though. Adds an interesting dynamic.
Will play more tonight.

Not sure...best would be to check some MP vids/commentary and see if it's your thing. Combat Mission looks like fun.

The driving part was all made by criterion. Different engine compared to the fps sections perhaps?
i liked the moh 2010 campaign. this one is a full on cod-clone (as far as i played).
Thanks for input guys.

Watching this gaffers comments, don't think the MP is for me. Seems like CoD too much.
It's like they're making it a goal of using two different engines in MoH.
I thought the NFS team was also using FB2?

It was done by Criterion, they have a video blog with one of the Criterion guys talking about MOHW.

When they showed the game on Gametrailers I'd swear they said Criterion did the driving sequence.

Played a bit last night -- but mostly just to get the settings dialed in.
SP looks and plays wonderfully on my machine. Excited to really dig in.

Black Box did the driving scene, not Criterion.

So one video said that there are no FOV options, but another had a guy who said in the vid that he set his to 100. Manual CFG file mod or is it in-game?
Man, MP is pretty boring. Maps are awful, UI design and navigation is the worst I've seen in any game, ever. Some of the design decisions aren't clear to me, why does he pull out a SEPARATE grenade launcher every. time. I crouch? Why is there respawns in real-ops, wasn't that supposed to be no-respawn?
Why the fuck didn't they add a RoF indicator in immersive mode - DICE did that same shit in BF3 with hardcore, especially bad with 3-way RoF weapons and shit sticks through dead, suddenly you don't know what the hell your RoF is without firing and giving away your position.

I still think BF3 is one of the best looking games on PC so this is no surprise.

Personally, I'm having a lot of fun with the multiplayer. Had a few minor glitches, but nothing to complain about. I really like playing the Combat Mission game mode, very aggressive gameplay.

Yeah -- I expected it to look good, I'm just surprised it runs so well on my machine (which isn't exactly a slouch but far from the latest and greatest) with just about everything cranked up to the max.

I think the default "special weapon" is C. Did you bind crouch to C?
Not sure about the no-respawn. I thought that was a part of Homerun mode.
Ah yes, that is probably the case then. Figured it'd unbind whatever the hell you use, not just use both ...

After logging in about 5 hours on the PS3 version, I think I'm going to keep this game. I tried going back to playing MW3 and BO after this, it was hard. COD just felt too 'cheap' and too light, like you're controlling a doll.
Forgot to cancel my Gamefly request and they mailed me a copy today. Guess i'll be giving it a go after all... I once upon a time had it preordered but cancelled after the beta left me feeling blah. Bought a online asscess LE code with all the extras and BF4 beta access for $10 so i'm all set once it arrives.

Okay, I tried Home Run and it's amazing how a game can do a complete 180* when playing no-respawn modes, it's such a superior game style. Really had some fun and creamed them quite badly.
HOWEVER, I didn't have any sound or at least it was seriously muffled and some muffled Microphones as well ... But game voice overs like "Got the flag!" was at normal levels.

That's so weird. Game is less visually ambitious than BF3. FB really doesn't scale well on consoles.

Yeah, this engine is a beast on PC. But I find it kind of disappointing on consoles. It's time for next gen consoles already...
Captured some TDM .. game certainly has surprised me online. Very solid and even Team Deathmatch is intense.

This game really shows PS3 and XBOX360's ages. I'm gonna have to give the PC version a spin.
Only touched singleplayer so far - it's very average. Fairly close to the quality of BF3's campaign.
Still entertaining but the story feels very loose and the levels are very bland. Feels more like a shooting gallery. Seems to lack the kind of punch or setpiece moments that we now expect from campaigns like this thanks to CoD.

Did the DICE wizards do the sound design on this one too? Because it sounds like it.

Just to be clear, there may be some confusion here. You don't actually
hijack a plane
In the first thirty seconds of the game two characters emerge from the water, one with an M4 assault rifle.
I don't think the game developers understand how quickly carbine assault rifles rust when exposed to damp environments, let alone being fully submerged in water for God knows how long. The God damn thing would be completely rusted and inoperable by that point in time.
Carbine ARs in general are notorious in the military for how unreliable, prone to rust, quick to jam (in all sorts of crazy ways, sometimes you can't even figure out how the stoppage was even possible in the first place) Carbines are. In my enlistment as a Marine, if I could get back all the hours I spent cleaning rust off my M16...
Don't big budget military games like this have actual military consultants that are supposed to fact check this sort of thing? Anyone who spent any amount of time in a combat MOS in the military would know that you can't just submerge a Carbine Assault Rifle in water and then expect it to be combat operational. The thing will jam all over the fucking place, it would be a disaster. Even just a little bit of sand in your magazines in Iraq would cause the M16 to jam, because the sand grains would prevent the bolt from chambering another round out of the mag, it would get stuck halfway most of the time. Just imagine water and rust.

Give me a fucking break Medal of Honor.

Also, is there any way to adjust FOV on PC? It's giving me a headache, it looks ridiculous.
LOL, doubt it.
The game use the same engine as BF3
there is no ingame option BUT
open PROF_SAVE_profile in My Documents/MOHW/settings
GstRender.FieldOfView
FYI: I didnt installed the game yet so I cant confirm if it is working or not
Come on man, its only a game. Dont need to be so realistic. This is not Arma
I just did this and can confirm it works. Thank you.
Default FOV was set to SEVENTY. No wonder it was so painful. =(
I'm not asking for simulation level realism here, I know what this is. I would just like a minimum level of militaristic accuracy to be involved here, especially when it's something as simple as a carbine rifle not working properly after being fully submersed in water. That's common sense to anyone who has every operated one.
maybe they're gas piston guns like the HK416 with marine coatings? Anyhow, I thought the SEALs (that's who these guys are supposed to be I think?) had guns that were suitable for being submerged.
??? I dont understand your point.
You can pay 30$ and receive MP and also SP for free..
. You just need the 50% off from premium codehttps://offer.medalofhonor.com/index.php
now you just need a friend that can give you a code

When I was watching the Giant bomb thing, I was honestly surprised that none of them pointed it out. Most of the story/dialogue stuff just seems really, really awkward and like other posters said, very much akin to Battlefield 3.
Oh, I'm sure there's some kind of explanation for it. It's just my first impressions. I wasn't a Navy SEAL, so I'm sure there's something they do. I always just assumed that they used non-Carbine rifles for amphibious missions.
I know for a fact that I said "Fuck" more times during my 4 years in the military than I did the other 23 outside of it, so I get the vulgarity, it's accurate when dealing with military in combat situations, but this game "tries too hard". Military speak is always overblown in movies and video games, actual members of military usually just talk to each like... normal human beings. Imagine that. This game way overblows the dialogue to make it seem like what the public's perception of "military talk" is like.
Good example of the way people in the military talk to each other: Spec Ops
Bad example: Medal of Honor: Warfighter or any Call of Duty.
