Looking forward to the multi-player. I know someone here posted some vid's a couple months ago and it looks like they've added a few cool new features. From the sounds of it, you have to purchase weapons with credits earned. Not so sure about how that's going to work. Anyone else have some insight or thoughts?

I keep seeing the ads for the new Medal of Honor, but it kind of looks like a fluffy version of COD. Anyone play it yet?
 
new COD should be good, It's made by the studio that put out world at war(epic fail) but it's got a completely new engine that looks sick. Fingers crossed it sucks so I don't have to get sucked in xD

I'd like to hear if anyone has played it as well. Looks pretty good, but the animations/action look a little stiff in comparison to COD. Can you go prone in it? That was a major shortcoming in all the MOH titles.

I'll probably pick up the new COD. I've owned every single COD title so I don't see any reason to stop now.

I pre-ordered MOH back in July to play the closed beta.. It was a total disaster, no one could map certain keys and it was basically just unplayable. Then beginning of October they released a public beta (only for testing the servers) and they cleaned it up a lot.. BUT, I ended up canceling my preorder after playing..

#1 - No prone.
#2 - No strafe left/right while sprinting (something COD and most other FPS's allow)
#3 - Very little recoil on any of the weapons, didn't feel right or realistic at all.
#4 - Couldn't map my 3rd mouse button.

All in all suckage compared to COD. I've played every COD title as well (with exception to COD3 obviously), so take it from me, don't buy MOH if you like COD.

But yeah, DEFINITELY getting Black Ops on release night.. Treyarch restored my faith in them when they decided to ensure dedicated servers would be around this time.

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Sounds like you probably saved me some time and coin and I only have so much time for games these days so I'd rather spend it on a worthy title. + rep!
 
Played the free beta day of MOH:Tier 1. Sucks. Running was stiff, no prone, the weapons didn't feel right. Just sucked. Graphics were okay. The only thing I liked was the audio. But you don't play games for the sounds (usually).

It was as bad or worse than Battlefield 2.

As much as people like to bitch about MW2, it has a very nice "feel" to the gameplay, and I think that's why most guys put up with it.

Very much looking forward to dedicated servers in Black Ops.
 
Can't wait for Black Ops. I was so addicted to Modern Warfare 2 for the longest time. Too bad about all the Infinity Ward drama with Activision. I feel like Treyark is going to fall short of Infinity Ward's quality but it will still be a really fun game.

I dunno.. While Treyarch seemed not to do much at all with WaW (seemed like just a simple mod of MW1), it looks like they've done a 180 with Black Ops opposed to MW2..

A lot of new features and game play / modes. Check gametrailers for all the videos.
 
Guys, if any of you guys play PS3, I want to apologize, because theres a chance I might have/flamed trolled you. Of the two females that I ever encountered playing COD, the first one I sent/said provocative things until she left the lobby.

The second my friend called calling her a loser, so she added us and invited us to her lobby to show us all her online friends.

But yeah,

COD4 = Pure Win, best one overall IMO

COD5 = Shit, didn't even prestige

COD6 = Ok, too much hate with it, was decent, has its gay moments, but eh.

Really the only thing treyarch seems to be able to get right in the gore.

+1 gore
 
I can't stand the multiplayer of CoD/MoH/Battlefield type of games for some reason, but I love the feel of the single player campaigns they offer, makes you feel pretty fucking epic. Will def be checking it out.
 
MoH is a steaming pile of shit. If you buy it go off yourself and save yourself the pain.
