Any one getting Medal of Honor

It's fun. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth it. How long will it last? Who knows.
 
came this >< close to buying it since its R500 for the console version... ended up with Dead Rising 2 instead :p

I don't think it's the local guys. I think it's www.gameservers.com that are incredibly anal and will not relinquish control to another party. From what i've heard is either that do it themselves or not at all.

That, or they are simply reinforcing the knowledge that Europe/North America/Asia doesn't give a crap about African gamers.
 
100%. Kon dit nie beter gestel het nie.

It's all in the hands of gameservers. They are the ones being all anal about this entire story. I have it on good account that quite a couple of local ISP's / GSP's came in contact with them but GS.com just turns a blind eye each time
 
We must just remember that for them its all business. If SA has 2000 players online a night on Black Ops which will be amazing then we still dont even count as a blimp to the international guys. Obviously we cant compare seeing as we are worlds apart especially where numbers occur.

Same applies to WoW local servers. Blizzard wont do it as the numbers dont add up for them to do it. I reckon gameservers will end up giving us dedis but ja our local gaming guys must try and work more closely with the developers to ensure that we arent look upon as "who cares" and more as "there is a market to use".
 
Played a bit and im sorry thus far its a load of nonsense this game. It doesnt even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as BC2 and MW2 and Cod4 for that matter. On the 1st day of the game its allready boiled down to who camps the most gets the most kills and killstreaks and thus it ends up for the most part in a turkey shoot.

Balance issues in the sense of i shoot a guy with an AK-47 in the chest at least 4 shots and he then starts to shoot with a M16 and kills me 1st. Is that lag or wtf? Im sorry im not the greatest BF fan in the world but BC2 is way better than this and MW2 and cod4 is also a world apart from this. Maybe after a couple of days it might be better or maybe grow on me but thus far i feel its really not as advertised.
 
I did read elsewhere that the camping and spawn points are lame.

Sounds like nothing much improved since I played the beta. Disappointing :(

Thats why I didn't buy it. The camping was already horrible in the first days of the BETA. That and the maps didn't inspire the confidence I would have liked to have in the game before buying it.

Even then maybe those were just the beta maps but then the first reviews also didn't inspire any confidence in the game.
 
Bought it and so far its really bad. The SP is so boring, the graphics actually look quite ****. The guns are unrealistic. The atmosphere is bland. The BETA worked flawlessly on my PC, but now its just mega stutter non stop, it looks like insane lag but cant be because it does the same in SP. Weak.
 
played quite a bit last night (mp) and really enjoyed it!!
prefer it to BFBC. Going to try sp player soon, but I only bought it to get my online fps fix. I don't quite understand the hate on the gfx front, it looks good - a lot of detail has been put in. Also the game runs super smooth with no hucks at all.

There are a lot of local game servers up and it was soooo easy to find them all, search by region - klar. My gad how simple was that.

Also the spawn time is short and you can spawn right in the front line where the action is (or back at the base), no running for 10 million miles to get back to the defense / attack point only to get shot down by a sniper in mid stride.


Will only decide if getting cod - ops if there are servers and how they are doing the shop pay things. Honestly not excited for it, they killed my joy on previous one.
 
Played quite a lot last as well. It's pretty fun actually, the server browser actually works and you're up and running in no time. It's cool having an army of dudes running alongside you to the middle clash point of the map. I also like the ribbon/medal system and upgrading is pretty easy. Hit detection is fine, weapon balancing needs a bit of work, maps are cool so far.

As is typical, some games are infested with cheap players who think it's far more sporting to sit in one spot with their sniper rifles aimed at your base. First few games I died within seconds of spawning, this happened about five times in a row and I only actually came face to face with an enemy by about my tenth game. In a few games, I felt like I was the only player on the map because the enemy and my teammates all donned sniper class and sat on their asses, without chasing the objective.
So - spawning is terrible and so far it seems most people are stat chasing and not actually playing the game. But when the okes play properly, it works.

Single player is probably about 3 years behind it's competition. We've all seen it before, and we've seen it done much, much better. So far at least.

I'm really loving the Multiplayer, the Singleplayer is lame but I don't really care. Knowing that South Africa isn't going to get black op servers.. this is what what we'll be stuck with. I dont mind
