IGN review

is the game bad?or the guy wrote this review is a COD's fanboy?

i guess Bobby Kotick is laughing hard now

i think ill still get it but me and my friend had an idea that it wouldnt live up to the hype. i figured a COD/BFBC baby could have worked but im guessing DICE could have used more time to make it work, i wont let one reviewer ruin a game for me though.

[oldage]

who the hell takes IGN serious anyway? besides, I prefer demo's to test the game myself rather than some text

Disregard reviews, acquire fun games.

 

Besides the guy sounded very biased to me.

[The-King]

I'd wait for the PCGamer or similar review. I generally don't trust the opinions of console based reviewers since they're all pretty much paid to dick-ride Call Of Duty and Halo.

[FullMetal]

Considering how outdated consoles are now and how great this game looked/looks on PC you should wait for some decent magazines/websites (that are PC focussed and not some mainstream console/xbox biased idiots) to review the product.

 

But then again... reviews are sh*t most of the times. I rifled through the article quickly and I noticed alot of things you could have said about the last three Call of Duty games... especially when it comes to the singleplayer. But oh wait, Call of Duty Perk Warfare, crappy storyline script cannot be questioned.

 

But I'll wait and see... Thursday will be probably the day I'll be able to get the game. Launch trailer looked boss (and I'm too lazy to link tbh).

[McReary7772]

Ohhhh a 6/10.

 

Screw that they seem to give god games bad ratings anyway

[Creed Bratton]

Maybe Activision payed those reviewers to trash the game. After all MoH is supposed to be their biggest rival this year. And we know how Kotick likes to do business. That's why I only trust user reviews. I'll wait until one of you poor saps buy the game and recommend it...or not.

Exactly my thought.

 

But then I went to see if there's even one Black Ops ad on the site. For my surprise there was MoH background and a huge ass MoH ad popped up when I opened the site.

[FullMetal]

Jesus christ, eventhough I'm convinced that this game has some major drawbacks... they seem to be biased all over the place. I mean, take a look at Gametrailer's review of the game.

 

Seriously, what the f*ck are they thinking? Yeah I know, CoD4 up to Black Ops have the best singleplayer shooter experiences ever made right? They're all totally unique, innovating, authentic and mindblowing. I'm getting f*cking sick of the biased mainstream console focussed gaming nonsense that they call 'journalism'.

[jelly]

I COULDN'T STAND the recent CoD shooters, so to hear that this is exactly the same except worse is not very encouraging.

 

Even RPS, no fan of railroad console port shooters, says the same thing. I'm inclined to believe them over the COD-fawners.

[Lithium]

I think they should remake the old MOH games. The first and second games were the best!

[Sunrise Driver]

Game should have 2 scores - for SP and MP. From what I've seen, SP really deserves 5-7. MP - 8-9.

[BLlTZ]

No. Indeed the game is bad. Just finished last night and I'm not so impressed of it. My reaction ...

Same things below may be spoiler so if you don't want to know, don't read it, but seriously go ahead and read because below is everything that the game represents and it will help you realize that, the gameplay and story are empty and a clone of MW2.

I give a total 6.5/10 to the game. Is a clone of MW series and I'm very dissapointed again, because EA have done it. Don't know if is worth buying it, but is best to rent it first and then make a decision to buy it or not. I've played the Limited Edition. So sorry for those that have bought it but I think this game is build more for Multiplayer. What is below, is not absurd, who will play the game, will gona find some things written

 

Gameplay : 6.5

* To me the game was like 4 big lousy missions to me. The AI of talibans or NPC are very low. The same here, like Modern Warfare Series, they are running wild all over the map and sometimes I got caught with a taliban face to face and my NPC team doesn't do anything to him where he's shooting at me of course. Sometimes their AI makes them to run around me or near me without shooting me.

 

* Again, the same frustrating thing like in MW series, is enough that from one bullet shooted by me, all those talibans are changing their direction directly to me, where my NPC team is just for decoration in the game. So again, your are the only target in your team that has to be shooted. * The lack of number of weapons. Maximum of 7-8 weapons in the hole game. Only one sniper rifle, 3-4 assault rifles ( one m16 and a smg ) and 3 pistols. Even there are 7 different AK's, they shoot the same ( useless, decoration ).

 

* Having the same weapons from the beginning of the game till the end of it I'm not really satisfied about it. Like an arcade game where "Here you go, take only this weapon, shoot the bad guys on the entire game to win points! Huray!"

 

* Again, the weapons that are ULTRA-SUPER-MEGA-UNIVERSAL at power where, every bullet can go through metal, wall, brick, stone and etc. Something like an aimbot + wall where you don't need any trailer at all, because the game itself has everything you need.

 

* Unlimited ammo for the weapons! No need to search around cuz when you run out of them, just ask from one of your NPC team to give you some and it will reacharged to maximum of ammo. You can ask him hundreds of times (so plain).

 

* The stealth mode missions. They are the same like MW series. I just can't belive it. The same movement, the same stuff you need to do and only one guy with you. Big problem is that, in this missions hard you kill someone. I mean the hole mission hardly you could say if you killed a maximum of 15 guys. The same helping movement like the one from the MW series. You reach a wall, your guy is raising and is lifting you by the hand ( same movement ) and that's all. This is what you do in the hole mission. Go and do something, walk some meters and then again, you help him or he is helping you with the wall. You really don't do much in this mission. Like your walking around more then do something new, something different comparing with other games from "Modern War" in this days.

 

* You don't need any strategy in the hole game because of your "UNIVERSAL-Woauw!" weapons that you got where you go like butter through enemies and missions.

 

* The lack of big cities in the games, make to be a empty-game much worse than Far Cry 2 open world. I mean, you play the hole game and walk around some metters on that mountain just to pop-off some 7-8 guys. The same with the desert atmosphere that is not so great, because there aren't any big houses with floors. Just so small houses made out from bricks and that's it.

 

* The Sniper Missions with Thermovision white-black that you have seen on the videos on youtube - that's the hole damn mission. You just need to pop-off thoe talibans in number of 7-8 and the mission is complete in 5 minutes. That's all, this is the mission. Yeah so real ...

 

* The Helicopter Mission where you can't control him, everythings is going my himself, where you just need to shoot-shoot and shoot just to pop-off, again some bad guys - mission complete; 5 minutes.

 

 

Graphic - 7.5

 

 

* The colours and the effects used in the game didn't impressed me so much. The Night-Missions are extremly black ( not dark ) where I supose to set up my brightness to max. The Day-Missions are extremly bright and with bloom one default setup settings, where again I had to set up my brightness again. The graphic doesn't have something new or improved. It's like I've been playing to such graphic before.

 

Now I know I've compared with MW series because most of them are in this game, and I dislike MW series because it has frustrating things, I could say now that I would play MW1&2 again because of how many features this two games has compared with this Medal of Honor that very empty.

 

Story - 3.5

 

* Bullsh*t! Is like, the idea was made out in the park in a sunny-day on a bench. It so plain and nothing new compared with other "Modern War" games. Still I didn't understood much about it, because the plot it was to simple.

not to start any thing but i find it ridiculous that some people believe a company is going to "buy off" reviewers... its the guy's own opinion and he's not the only person either... there's four other critic reviews with the same score as the one IGN gave the game... it all boils down to opinions. if you like this style of game and dont mind some flaws and have fun playing it more power to you... its the reviewer's opinion... just cause he doesnt like the game you like and likes the game you dont doesnt mean he's on a companies payroll for crying out loud.

You do realise that few years back they kicked out one of the best reviewers of Gamespot because he gave a sh*tty score to Kane and Lynch?

 

And they do buy off reviewers. "We'll give you a copy of the game a week before the release for review, if you give us a good score." How the f*ck do you think GTA IV got such good scores?

[kudoboi]

im thinking of getting this game, but i have exams now so i guess ill have to wait till its over, anyway how many missions and locations are there in SP and MP?

also are the weapons alot and the gameplay features, are u able to drive tanks, control vehicles and such?

[BLlTZ]

kudoboi, you can find answers to those questions by reading my comment above. I kind of said about everything in what your looking for.

[Lithium]

I haven't played the game yet, but I hear the MP is a lot like Battlefield 2. How true that is, I'm not sure. I'm a big MOH fan, but it seems like they had to go in this direction to compete with the COD series. I think if they made a new game set in WW2, it would still do half decent. Guess they do need to keep with the times though, and WW2 games have been done to death. I might rent this, but don't know about buying it. Games aren't cheap these days.

[Daz]

Two words:

 

INFINITE PISTOL

 

 

Game gets a 10/10 for me on that sh*t alone.

 

 

f*ck those fa**ot reviewers, I would rather play this than that kids game call of duty.

[papanesta]

I enjoyed the recent Modern Warfare Call of Duty games, but this is different. I've only played the first two missions, but they are amazing fun.

 

Looking forward to eventually getting round to playing multiplayer.

 

f*ck the haters.

Yeah I agree, its a complete conspiracy. Evil big companies buy off reviewers to undermine the opposition and make evil monies. AND THEY STARTED WW2.

 

 

[Knife]

I wasn't going to get this. Turns out I still had it pre-ordered so it's on the way

Played open multiplayer beta last week. Slow, sh*tty, boring. In november, we will forget this slop even exists.

Well of course it's boring since it isn't an ADHD-filled shooter with a f*ckload of idiotic perks and overeasy-to-use killstreaks.

 

At least Medal of Honor requires some skill, like the first two CoD's.

[FullMetal]

Well AreXi, from what I've played (betas) this game is still pretty easy. Though, indeed it requires more skill than the recent batch of Call of Duty games.

 

Also it's good that there won't be alot of people buying/playing this... more fun with the real players instead of the f*cking retards raping sh*t up in MW2/BC2.

[TommyMufc-Champs]

I'm going to play this next week at my mates, If I like It I will get It. Its released tomorrow right?

[tuareg]

I'll be honest i wasn't too impressed with this at first. It took me a while to get used to it, but i grew to like this game a lot. It somehow reminds me of Black a lot. Although i do think CoD did things better gameplay wise (scripted events having more impact, explosions, sounds etc). MoH feels a lot more realistic, though.

 

All in all this game is great. You can nitpick all you want, but i's still great fun.
