Any one getting Medal of Honor

Just copying and pasting my reply from other MoH thread:

Well, after a weekend of MoH online, I personally don't see this game lasting more than 6 months to be honest. It could really be a winner if they managed to fix some issues though. The spawn points firstly are super kak. Nothing prevents the enemy from camping near or in the spawn points and wasting okes as they spawn. Or dropping mortar/rocket strikes there either. Extremely stupid.
Then the inconsistency op weapons. Sometimes you shoot a guy once or twice in the head and he drops. Next time you can almost empty a clip and nada. Extremely frustrating. Also, the sniper rifles, with the scoped M24 one shot one kill 90% of the time, with the red dot rifle at least two shots to drop someone. That makes no sense.
Then splash damage of rocket launchers, tubes and nades is ridiculously stupid. And I don't mean by overkill, I mean by being seriously underpowered. You pretty much have to hit someone point blank with them to score a kill. If you fired a a RPG into a small room in which a sniper is camping, all you should find is pieces, but no, he shrugs it off and kills you. I know they are trying to limit tubers, but this is bordering on why bother having the weapons then at all?
Another thing I find stupid is the lack of distance you get on a nade. I mean, you player is supposed to be a trained and fit soldier and he can barely throw a nade far enough to not hurt you???

Now there are all things which might and will probably be fixed by patches eventually, but how do these things get past beta testing? Public and internal testing? Is that not kinda the point of beta tests? I can't help but feel that this was rushed to get it out before COD: BO and they will worry about the bugs later.

Played some more last night and it looks like I'll only be playing the Objectives and Sector Control playmodes. Unfortunately the assault mode is useless. The maps aren't balanced well enough. Either the defence side will always win or the attack side will always win. Those maps are too small as well.

Like Densweep said, 6 months tops and the game will be dead.

screw that. i am glad i had a few other things to do the weekend and did not buy the game. I will wait for COD Black Ops. Think that will be worth the money. Really sorry for the guys that bought the game and are not happy with it. i know how you must feel. Sorry guys.

I don't regret buying the game in the least. It was/is a nice distraction.

As for COD: BO, no point in buying it if they are not going to provide local servers for MP. That's why I am now waiting for the Bad Comapany 2 Vietnam add-on.

did not really get into BC2. too many huge patches to download. Game play is awesome but having to download the patches everytime before i play puts a big damp spot on the game for me. I got it the day it came out and there was a nice 400mb download waiting for me. I do understand that it make the game better to play but really irritates me. COD MW2 was the same but only 100mb about. that i can handle. Now when i tried to install BC2 again yesterday it was about 1.2gig waiting for me. I dont have an uncapped line yet cause i moved into my new place so for me to download that on 3G takes my cap for the month. I dont know. if the updates came in in drips and drabs over a period of time i can handle that like SC2.

Everything he said. Spawning is luck of the draw, you'll either survive long enough to get a few kills, or you'll get cut to ribbons within two seconds. Like I posted earlier, 90% of teammates don't play for objectives, 99.996% of all players are fcking snipers (Seriously, If I had my way, I'd eliminate the sniper class from all future MP games), those carrying RPGs are sitting five miles away from the objective instead of taking out the armor..When you do get into a game with okes that play to win though, it's loads of fun.

@ Toxin - right on, those maps are tiny - the only worthwhile game is Sector Control imo.

Frank, if you still have the old folder of your installed BC2, problem solved. Install the game fresh. Then copy and paste your old install folder over the new one, replacing whatever needs to be replaced. Then do the same with the folder that is in your documents folder. Voila, problem solved. No need to download updates and thus save yrself much cap.

As for sniper class, they should implement a class limitation. Came across is once on a international server on BC2. Chose sniper kit, spawned and "died" instantly upon spawning. Didn't count as a death, but you could not spawn as a sniper, if there were already 4 or 5. Very effective.

That sounds okay. How come we don't have that here? Is it a server setting?

Pretty much I think. Depends on what server software is being used. But good luck with that on local servers, with the possible exception of iGame and WAGE. They are the only guys locally who make an effort to accommodate the local community. WAGE not quite as active, but I suspect that is largely due to popularity.

I'm just glad I didn't spend my money on this game. My funds for gaming is running very low at the moment and with next year's studies coming, I am spending my money on games that are actually worth it. MoH seems to be like one of those movies that grabbed your attention with the awesome trailers, and after finally watching the movie, you realise that the trailers ended up being better than the movie itself.
