Medal Of Honor: Limited Edition (with Battlefield 3 Multiplayer BETA Access)

I have only played the beta, of which i have only clocked up 3 1/2 hours play.

However, even with my limited time on the game i have come across a variety of experiences, some good, some not so good... i say again, always remembering this is a beta, and will not necessarily reflect the finished product.

The good:

The game works on a great engine, as many have pointed out, it is not a brand new engine, but as i have played BFBC2 for over 100 hours, i am very familiar with the system.
Saying that, MOH has had a few tweaks, and these are only really noticable in the knifing button layout and animation, and what seems to be a smoother, faster paced movement style. More along the likes of Modern warfare 2.

The guns are great, and reward system seems well thought out.

The killstreaks are a nice touch, and with the option to choose between two at each tier, it provides a tactical gameplay element.

I have played many Call of dutys, which this game will inevietably be compared to highly, and rightly so, in regard to it being the the most popular FPS franchise. And i have personally played mw2 for over 7 days... how the time flys. I am a FPS fan, and think this game has alot to offer to the casual and experienced gamer.

It has progressed nicely in regard to multiplayer experience, from BC2, and benifitted with elements of MW2, in what i am finding to be an almost perfect blend.

The not so good:

Muzzle flash, that makes people hard to see when firing a gun directly at you at times.
And the invisble people that seem to be effected by frame rate or perhaps loading issues.

As i have stated, BETA, i fully expect these issues to be fixed upon release!
MOH is a differant breed, and people should keep this i mind, please stay objective, and just enjoy this game for what it is. A very enjoyable, shooter, with skill being slightly more important to success, which is nice to have back after mw2.

Great Game... Day one Buy

Well to put it simply, its another battlefield bad company game but with many faults. The medal of honor series was always on par with call of duty until modern warfare so why EA had to take this path i dont know. To me it was a bad choice as rather than making something different its just copied another game therefore it seems a rip off, Bad company 2 was a very good game but this is just a lazy copy. The story mode is very short and never seemed to keep me glued and generally felt very average from the very start. Its a very good looking game with great looking maps and scenery but also has many online multiplayer faults. Theres a short pause every time you get killed, grenade throwing sometimes freezes for a second, lots of lag, theres various parts of the map that look like you can walk through but cant. The maps arnt all that well thought out either, you can spawn and be dead within two steps either from snipers on the other side of the map or campers sitting in your teams… more »

The maps arnt all that well thought out either, you can spawn and be dead within two steps either from snipers on the other side of the map or campers sitting in your teams spawing areas which can leave you pulling your hair out. And with all these faults (and im sure theres more i havnt thought of) there is just no flow to the online play.
This is a typical EA money maker imo, alot of corners were cut. I'll give it two stars though for the fact that the battlefield games are quality and the ideas for a good game are there but i hope the next installment will be greatly improved and make the medal of honor series unique rather than a bad company 2 spin off.
