Thinking about that I actually wouldn't mind a modern warfare game that isn't set in 1) the middle east 2) siberia + instead of US has EU forces with EU equipment, that would make for a really nice change for once. Doubt that will happen tho.
[Game] Medal Of Honor (2010)

This weeks GTTV episode is all about MoHs SP. And while the MP may probably be fail, SP looks pretty awesome to me from what I saw. No MW2 bull**** but it actually looks pretty authentic.
Single player does look pretty cool. Still don't dig the MP from what I've seen. Why couldn't they just have hired TWI to make the MP for it 
The SP is always good, and I thought Modern Warfare's SP was good aswell, yet the difficulty and AI was bull.
Airborne had a great Single player, and so did Pacific assault and Rising son.
Can't remember playing Allied Assault though.
LOL @how he blows their heads off, must be using .50cal

That looks kinda awesome, but I don't get what the hell he's using as a scope. It's an Infrared 'scope' but it's doesn't have any range helping stuff on it.

Also seen this one? The single player looks so good, while the MP looks so ****ty. Why couldn't they just made a solid MP on the UE3 engine, without all the gizmos from BC2.

Because they need to compete.
Like IW said they would lose 40 % of their fanbase (AKA Kids) if they took the CoD part out (Kids can't read anyway), Yet, everyone, even IW, call it just Modern Warfare 2.
Completely agreed. UE3 is still prettier and just feels more right for a "realistic" shooter. But it doesn't have that DICE name on it either.
EDIT: Damn the sp looks much more promising but I sure as hell ain't paying 60 bucks for that and a gimmick mp. I don't think it's ever worked out when a game has been split up and developed by two different devs has it? Doom 3 for example, the mp was a joke. This looks like a bargain bin purchase.

So, will anyone here get it? Even the majority of the press seems to think of MoH as an unwanted child of MW2 & BC2. Personally I think the SP could be quite nice, though seeing the chopper mission with Apachs flying 10m above a hostile village made me have doubts about their high-praised authenticity. But with half-arsed MP + DICEs new reputation for making unsupported dumbed-down MP experiences now, I'd NEVER buy it for anything above 20
Pre ordered many moons ago. Cannot wait. Really looking forward to a real Middle East modern day combat FPS single player. I'm buying this for the SP mainly. I'm itching for a good story line to involve myself in over a couple of weeks. As for the MP I'll give it a go because I am sure it'll have longer legs (read DICE) than the CoD MWs ever had for me. My entire MW2 MP was join get shot, respawn get shot straight away uninstall - probably sacriledge coming from an ATVI shareholder. So after a long SC2/RDR stint it's nice to get back into the lock and load mode. My 470's have been feeling neglected so it's time to drain the grid again. And Allied Assault still ranks my favourite - probably because it was my first.
As is DICE will care, this is nothing but a side-product for them, once they're finished they'll pull the ressources to BF3 as well. Just look at BF:BC2, after 6 months still no new maps and so many flaws and that game was definitely bigger.
Like I said for SP only. Anything extra is a nice bonus. BC2 is a great game and I had no complaints. Looks awesome with the settings cranked up very high with 2 470's. I tend to work around any foilables in the game instead of throw my toys out of the cot and emo. As far as I am concerned I got a good 30 odd hours in it so it more than covered my outlay as far as I am concerned. I remember BF1942 hardly working for the first 2 weeks on launch so BC2 was a frolic in the park.
Funny thing is that having played the pre-order beta(followed by canncelation of pre-order >.>) and now this, I've played 4 out of the 8 total maps there will be already. Now knowing what DICE has become + the fact that MoH certainly isn't of any great importance to them after release as their baby is simply BF, I'd bet 20
Ok, so after playing this for one hour straight, my verdict: This game is horrible and I feel bad for everyone who seriously pays $50 for this recycled piece of wannabe MW/BC2 garbage.
Positive:
-Killing can be kinda fun
-good weapon sounds
Negative:
-No server filter options, 90% of the servers are either 0/24 or 24/24
-Only 24 players
-Graphics are only average and are basically BC2 except for small stylistic differences
-Ironsights on every gun except for M4/M16 are wrong, because you only aim with the front sights(oh no, is it too difficult for 12 year old console kids to see their enemies on a giant flatscreen >_>; it worked fine in games like killzone, bc1 and bc2, so wtf is this)
-M16A4 with full-auto, wtf(it wasn't like this in the 1st beta)
-Only three classes which tbh don't really make any difference except for the gun
-snipers start off with red-dotsights on their rifle
-maps are incredibly small, even much smaller than BC2s maps, and after 1h I was already bored because they basically all look the same(except for the snow map, but thats also just rocks and destroyed houses)
-Only 8 maps of those tiny maps at release in 4 alibi game modes
-the game simply feels like BC2 with smaller maps and no destruction
