Medal Of Honor Airborne
In there forums people were asking if the gameplay was going to be arcady or very realistic like Red Orchestra.

EA responded that they will make it realistic (just like pa/aa )and that Red Orchestra had good graphics but the realism took it too far and spoiled the game for everyone..
just hearing that pisses me off

Umm, was this an EA representative or just a forum member? Link?

 

[Coey]

MoHA had some nice touches like the executions and flashbacks.

EDIT:I hate to say it, but this one looks like it could be alot of fun.

 

[MrBunsy]

Looking through the forums, it was just a throwaway comment by a member. To be frank I wouldn't want anyone who can't spell 'too' in the RO community anyway .

Let's just see if they release it and hype it up with "ZOMG fight in real locations where real soldiers fought" and then once you play it, you realize how linear the levels are.

After you're done playing the game and didn't get what you payed for, you have a chat with EA.

You: I have a problem with Medal of Honor: Airborne. The levels seem to be artificially restricted with invisible walls, limiting you with only one route. And yet, you claim that the game is realistic, but not to RO:O's level.

EA: Uhh, yeah, about that, uhh, just look forward to our upcoming expansion packs, 20 of them are planned for release. They include 10 levels each, totalling to 200 levels-

You: But on the box, it says "ZOMG fight in real locations where real soldiers fought". Why are the levels so artifically linear? Didn't real soldiers in WWII have a lot more routes to choose from?

EA: You may find that the levels in the expansion packs will be a lot more immersive than the original game, giving you the tactical choices real soldiers had in real locations.

You: Nobody will buy those expansion packs.

EA: Of course nobody will. Only fools like you will buy 20 of those expansion packs, costing $20 each and offering only 10 maps each which only add 1 more route. MUHAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

[Err]

I may pick up MOH:A in the bargin bin. I'll never pay full price again for an EA game after Pacific Assault.

Pacific assualt was beyond a bad joke. I dearly dearly love(d) mohaa and wait for the day i can enjoy a game in the series but i have a scary feeling RO has spoilt it for me. I dont even mind that mohaa isnt realisitc (however its more realistic than cod2!) its just the gameplay was so damn fun. It had to be for the community to live with only 3 maps for 3 years!!

I enjoyed MOHPA...

after I made my own realism mod for the SP weapons

Too bad they promised huge BF style maps with dynamic AI for the aircraft, true 3D ripples in the water, foliage that actually smells like grass etc etc etc - None of which was in the game they sold.

 

[Coey]

I remember reading the battles on MoHPA would be open ended affairs. They were not.

By open ended they ment you can sneak around the right or left side of a building to take out the enemy. I really thought PA was going to be fun when I first stared it. The boot camp tutorial was fun and the Pearl Harbor Bombing was done well. After that I kinda lost interest.

 

[Comrade Wasabi]

foliage that actually smells like grass

Unless you played MOHPA on a smellovision and this feature wasnt included, I find it hard to be pissed about this one.

I enjoyed MOHPA. But to be fair, I also enjoyed all the SP campaigns of the CoD series.

 

[DraKon2k]

Too bad it's going to **** ass ... just saw a screen with a german soldier in it. Hell, the helmet looked more russian than german.

 

[PNV]

I knew I had seen this thread somewhere, its from September 4th!

But anyways, I saw the gameplay trailer and it didnt look that great. Though it is kind of cool Operation Husky is in there

 

[aag567]

Uh, Spades, the levels aren't linear, you can land anywhere you want and all the buildings are enterable.

 

[Oldih]

MohA sounds nice with it

 

[Murphy]

MoH was updated to CoD, wasn

 

[Err]

[Grimble Grumble]

I just cant take those MoH games seriously since playing the original on playstation and having those awful sneaky around maps with germans in every room saying "show me your papers ja".

Just shoot them in the face. Then you may want to run.

So, in a some-what related note, as an RO fanboi who still appreciates MoH:AA for what it is (war movie, not war) how does CoD stack up? The first one, that is, as I had a brief bit of play on the second one and it pissed me off. I've debated getting it off of Steam now that I don't have to go bargin-bin hunting for it (or buy some huge ass battle-box for way too much ) just for the single player, so is the first CoD worth a single player play-through?
