Medal of Honor Warfighter - Page 5

May not be much of a platoon but I can play army of one!

Figured out that if you go to the Stats & Leaderboards section of the main menu and select Service Record you can see your upcoming unlocks. Looks like it's a mix, weapons and soldiers by points and equipment by use of the weapons.

For those looking to tank this game your reviews are up. Looking to get a 5/10 from eurogamer and a few bloggers. Rubber stamp MW3 gets a 9.5 and it was a mess of mixmatched ideas but a solid game gets tanked cause its not the popular kid. So it goes.

There are some things that drag this one down from a 10 but not that far. The little girl in the campaign looks like an orc child from LOTR. Whoever drew her needs to learn some things about humans and their shape. Story is a bit disjointed so far but should all come together. Nothing groundbreaking but not complete garbage.

Menus are a bit weird no question there but once you figure them out its all good. Why they didn't copy BF system I dont understand. Guess they wanted separation. Graphics are great in places and meh in others. Strange because I didn't feel that way in BF.

Multi is fun plain and simple. All the game modes and maps go together. Maps overall may not be the best but they fit the game modes their made for. Only ran into one spawn rape which we were attackers on. I suspect it was a crappy team because there are a lot of flanking routes. I could maybe see a 7/7.5 but getting down into the 5 range is just being an ahole.

So long as it sells well and the servers stay busy for awhile I'm happy. I see myself playing this for a long time.

Sorry, Destructoid had the scathing review with a 5, thought euro gave it a 5 but didn't read their article. The Destructoid article reads like the guy was bent cuz he found his wife with an EA employee.

That statement is legitimate but their rating is a joke. Crappier titles had better ratings. The Destructoid guy got called out as a hypocrite for giving MW3 such a high rating and ranking this one so low but he just played it off. If I was into conspiracies I'd say some marketing dollars were or were not applied to the correct greased palms.

The IGN review is the one I'm curious to see. They generally express logic and fairness.

So far I haven't ran into anything game breaking at all. Maybe some tearing or minor things but its not broken by any stretch. Day one patch, so what, BF did the same thing. In fact its pretty normal, Borderlands 2 had one I think as well. That's actually good that the developer listened and fixed things. Darkest of Days deserved the rating it got. This one seems like its being tanked on purpose.

IDK, lack of polish nets a 7 at least. Sheer hatred for something lands the 5, complete incompetence gets the 2s. So getting a 5 to me means Danger Close pissed someone off or the powers that be want this one to suffer and die quietly. The other side of the conspiracy coin is that another company with a big name release a month away paid for this to be squashed so it doesn't overshadow their release. Good thing I dont buy into conspiracies.

Ghost Recon had a few single player issues that were actual game breakers to an extent and Spec Ops had a very flat multiplayer experience. But both earned 8s from Eurogamer and Destructoid. I'm not a conspiracy believer at all so please don't think I'm peddling that dribble. It just seems odd that things are playing out this way.

Not upset over the reviews just a little taken back. Roger on the 2010 distaste. Played a little the other night and heard sniper shots pinging off my head in my sleep. But got my guy up to level 8 and got that cheevo. So it's done now that the new one is here.

I'm still on the fence for the SP. I mean it's ok, but the story doesn't really grab you like Spec Ops did, bad example that was stellar. The BF3 SP was kind of cool and I was into the Ghost Recon SP, but this just hasn't produced yet. The 2010 release was a slow start too but once I got into I loved it. Lots of shooting and explosions so far, some stuff about his wife and orc child but not really much developed yet. Since everyone says its short I may finish tonight.

MP is a blast. Now some caveats, don't go in thinking it's BF3 or COD, you won't like it. Look at it like a fresh IP and have an open mind. Just trying to say it doesn't compare to those as much as people like to portray. The menus are weird at first and there is a lot going on. BF controller setup may help get around the changes in control. An hour may or may not sway your dollars, especially if your planning on other releases in another few weeks.

PS If you don't buy it Google up what the daughter looks like. You'll probably have the same WTF was that reaction I did.

This game is pretty sweet overall.

Had a good group on last night and our platoon is close to 10 people. Picked up a Ghost Recon friend and one of his buddies. So were looking good to put a whole team in play. Figured out the platoon leader and how to dole out the ability for other ls to run the platoon too. Razor and Hoosier I know I gave that to but probably Revel and Harp as well. It was late and I was tired...

Soldiers seem to unlock very quickly which just keeps pounding you with new info all the time. I've gotten to just ignoring it. Ooh got an AA-12 unlocked last night and its every bit as sweet as I thought. Being a shotty, range becomes an issue and ideal confrontation range is slightly further than it goes but it has a nice sound and feel.

My favorite was the Destructoid one saying the word Warfighter was bro-ish and stupid but never said that about GRAW.

It all depends on the randoms. I started Ghost Recon with just a couple AVSrs that didn't play long and ended up hooking up with a bunch of other random people, some of whom are transitioning to this. Now, GR seems to have a lot more mature audience like MOH most likely will as well. So that helps a lot too.

We have a growing group playing it and I for one plan on getting my $s worth. So if you get it can always join us. I personally have no real interest in much of what is coming out in the near future other than tossing it on Gamefly and seeing it when it comes. MOH is my new bread and butter like BF was for so long. About the time Aftermath drops for BF Ill be ready for a MOH break but will mix the two up depending on whose playing what.

Reviews I dont care so much about overall but really bad ones do influence sales which reduces long term play. So its in my interest to see it sell well to have targets in 6 months. One concern I do have is DLC. There has been no mention of any I've seen.

Cool. Some people were getting Limited Editions from Walmart and possibly Gamestop. If your going to buy it, get the LE. It gets you the maps Hoosier just mentioned and BF4 beta access if your inclined. The GF version gets none of that which prompted me to change my preorder.

Just read there is a way to set up custom quick matches :thumbup:

I still think that spawn trap was cuz they sucked. We played that same map and area on hotspot last night and got owned in it. The maps do slightly change routes from mode to mode so maybe that's a bad example.

Good video.
