Medal of Honor Warfighter Catch-All

This game has definitely moved up on my list of games to get. Should be interesting.

Playing the beta now. If I get this game it will not be on the 360.

The framerate isn't great, the controls with the 360 controller are not even close to as sharp or clean and instantaneous as they are in Call of Duty, and the graphics are ugly.

On the positive side it looks like there's tons of customization options and the sound is great.

PC version or nothing for this one though.

So kinda like BF3.

I never even fiddled with the 360 version of BF3 so I'm not sure how good a comparison that is.

So they've capped the characters you can unlock to two per each class.

The graphics on the 360 are dog ugly. If that's what bf3 looks like. I'm sorry.

They're only showing one map unless they unlock another later on.

controls are sloppy but i assumed that was just me not touching a 360 shooter in forever.

The fireteam (2 guys) concept is pretty cool and guys working together can totally lock an area down.

The different classes and weapon unlocks are pretty cool, but the starting gear is powerful and some people havent changed class since they started.

One downside of the fire team idea that annoys the f*ck out of me is that if you kill someone and their partner is still alive you're spotted and highlighted like a christmas tree so the partner has a chance to take you out. Annoying as hell if you're trying to stealth around.

The map has 6-8 objective points and a point is selected (randomly?) for a attack/defend scenario. It's a best 3 outta 5 to determine the winner. So it keeps things very fluid.

After so many kills with a particular gun you're able to unlock attachments for that gun.

Battlelog is pretty cool. Playing on the 360 and checking that out on the ipad between rounds is a new thing for me... fun.

God i suck at console shooters.

Nah. Fire up a Call of Duty or a Halo and the controls feel instantly better. The controls in Warfighter are sluggish and imprecise. I tried fiddling with the sensitivity slider a bunch, basically tried every notch from cranked all the way up down to default for a few minutes at a time each and it never even started to feel right.

I was holding my own, even planted the bomb a few times, defended it, etc, etc. Still never fun enough to overcome all the issues it has.

I gave the demo a whirl and have no interest.

I saw enough (and still playing) to keep my PC pre-order.

No way i'd get this for the 360 though.

Not feeling this on 360. Enemies were endless bullet sponges and the controls felt like sh*t.

Considering the response here, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Requires a bit more thought than CoD but not so much that naturally good shooters don't have an edge.

The graphics are far better than the 360 version of BF3. Thankfully I traded in BF3 the day after getting it for $30 and broke even. The shooting model and controls in general are a notch down from CoD, but ahead of most other modern military shooters I've played. The only real weak spot was the gun audio work, but that might just be this gun in particular.

I don't think I'll be buying this until I see some reviews and til after Black Ops 2 comes out, but I do want to get it eventually.

Poopiest game ever made.
There's just poop everywhere, why

? the game mechanics are pretty cool, and there's a bunch of gun porn (not tom clancy level but decent) to be had.

besides the graphics what dont you like?

Crap, I still haven't played this beta. How long does it last?

So many games.

I said something in IRC that he's having some fun with. I doubt he's played it.

Very nice. I got out from GMG with a bunch of deals, but that probably beats what I paid.

EDIT: I'm seeing it in Origin as well now that I'm home. I'm going to try to cancel the GMG order.

Man that trailer looks great. I love their creative team in the recent times. Great videos/trailers and their print media has been great as well.

Personally i love their maps. I think they're the best combination between CoD and BF style maps. Plus they just look damn good.

Are you getting it on PC?

EDIT: NM, i see your post a little ways up.

I'm getting it on PC as well. Don't know what pushed me over the edge vs my wait until it was cheap on the last MoH game. I'm hoping the MP is good.

lol sure it wasnt the 50% off?

The fireteam mechanic adds a new dynamic and makes the action feel more fluid and drives more team play. Which makes sense because it's a lot easier to get 2 guys working together than 4-6-8-16.

The way they're handling unlocks is kinda weird. They force you through a progression of professions, and countries to unlock instead of being able to pick and choose at the start. Still it goes pretty quick. I played a pretty solid amount for 3 days and got up to the 30s. By the time you're in your 20's you've unlocked at least 2 of every profession. Which unlocks their weapons and once unlocked you're able to swap them in and out between the class.

You then have the weapon unlocks themselves. These seem to be primarily get x kills for y unlock. There's a LOT of eye candy and options for the weapons.

The kill streak bonuses in the past and in the beta werent that crazy, but they were showing some in that video we didnt see in the beta.

I don't seem to be able to get that, since I bought Premium at Gamefly vs Origin. I think I got MOH for $42 @ GMG.

That does look interesting. I hope enough of us from here play to be able to often fight partners.

Have they said anything about built in voice comms on PC in pick up games? I haven't seen anything.

did they have them in the first one? I cant remember, but i think there's no change in that regard and will probably be using mumble,vent as usual.

I don't know, but I'm thinking about Frostbite 2 and how it's evolving. I think DICE heard the community's frustrating with voice in BF3, so I hoped they'd moved forward a bit.

I assume you'll have BL chat for friends like you do in BF3, too.

maybe...

You would think so, but items like that werent tested due to it being 360. BTW the BL implementation from what i saw was pretty cool. There were a couple places where i thought they could do some extra data break downs but fun stuff there.

Hmmm, reviewers are saying on twitter that review copies are arriving on release day.

Serious reservations now. Never a good sign.

I think they did the same for the first one. I suspect that they know they're going to get creamed by the other game releases coming out over the next few weeks and trying to take advantage of this small window while they can.

Or it could be a complete pile of poo on the PC.

Think of getting the deal between BF3 Pre and MoHW - peeps doing PC correct?
