Medal Of Honor Warfighter BETA review

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

Well, I've had a few plays. Looks nice. Looks, well, like BF3 really. Nice Map on the BETA. Plenty of ways to hit it. BF3's hurdle is in there which is great. Loads of Countries Spec Forces to choose from, with varying positives & negs depending on who you choose.



BUT..............yet again they have f*cked us Southpaws over. In MOH it was lack of Lefty controls on the Single Player. In this game the Southpaw is there on the MP but they've swapped the triggers over, which has completely confused me.

Also as I experienced in BF3 there seems to be a slight delay between actioning something on the controller & it happening on the screen, which I cannot deal with.



So, all in all, altho it looks nice & the BETA map is a good un, I will NOT be buying this time as they've not repaired the problems I had with BF3 & due to the fact that they just seem to hate Southpaw players by making our games a stressful & worthless experience

Was really looking forward to this but I am dissapointed with the end result

the game looks much worse than i remember it from early gameplay videos. they must have been showing PC fooatage... sound on the other hand seems to be a strong point again.

gameplay-wise i am not sure what to think of it. the one single map i played was nice with lots of close quarter engagements but lag was noticeable and aiming was a pain in the ass. field of view seems very narrow too, mostly i couldn't spot opponents coming sideways.

by the way: why do American gamers need 4 factions to choose from and then some countries are not even represented?

[EDDIE M0NS00N]

Yeah i agree. Too many US based teams, as usual. Field of view is indeed very narrow & it did seem very laggy. Didn't mention this b4 as i was giving a quick opinion based on 1st impression, & only did that cos the server dropped out (good thing too cos i was starting to lose my cool with the feckin thing ) . Visually it seemed ok. Nice change from the COD style of visuals, & the map is nice n big compared to the tiny maps on the previous MOH. I just hoped that they would have finally sorted out the problems that had plagued us Lefties after MOH. Last time they gave us southpaw on the MP but left it out of SP. This time round they've swapped the trigger buttons round for some stupid reason, making everything all arse about face & confusing & frustrating. Why FA?, WHY?

Just having a quick go on the single player on my lunch break and the first 5 minutes really are bombastic!!

Sets the tone for the rest of the game I hope. I enjoyed the first MoH so looking forward to the rest of this.

Is the review on the front page for this or the old one? All the pics look very familiar?

Can't make my mind up with this one,the single player levels I have suffered two glitches which stopped me progressing and the number of times your colleague stays put and won't advance is annoying
Some of the levels seem to be bad at directions for your character or is it me??

[NoelEdwards]

It's not you BIG EDD, I've come across the same problem with bad directions. I'm enjoying single player so far, tried multiplayer last night and it was a leggy mess. Makes you wonder what the 58mb day one patch was for.

Picked this up and I feel like Ive only been on it 2 mins and Im halfway through the missions. Ended up with the 360 ver where installing the data makes a big difference. Its quite the looker but the gameplay makes CoD look sophisticated. I cwn't comment on the mp as Im not paying out for Gold again but whilst solid (if glitchy) enough there is no reason to stick with this over Battlefield 3.
