Multiplayer features in Spearhead?
 

I love MOH online, but lately I'm getting really bored of it.

Apart from the map additions, what else is there in the multiplayer aspect of Spearhead that warrants me shelling out for it?

I'm not too bothered about the SP...

If i remember right there is. I hope there is anyway.

There's sopposed to be a new gamemode involved. Forgot the exact title, but here's what IGN.COM said

[quote:ffbef]So far, the sequences and levels we've played emphasize the squad-oriented, single-player approach of the previous game (and echoed in titles like HALO). You're expected to handle the brunt of the action yourself, but a few soldiers by your side help cover all the angles and even launch into pre-scripted attacks and maneuvers on their own.

The expansion features nine new levels, three in each of three locations. Starting in June of 1944, the first of these concerns the landing in Normandy. It seems everyone's doing a D-Day level now, but Spearhead just doesn't recreate the content from Allied Assault. Instead of storming ashore as in the previous game, this time you'll be dropping behind enemy lines the evening before the invasion. Your job is to disrupt German defenses and give the boys a fighting chance come morning.

Along with the addition of the single player portion of the game comes an upgraded multiplayer experience with 12 new multiplayer maps along with some new fun. First off, since they play such an important role in the single player, both the English and Russian troops (with authentic dialogue) and weapons will be made available to the multiplayer games. Along with the other general new weapons like smoke grenades and sticky bombs (which sometimes not work at random so you'll have to shoot them), that brings the count to around 15 new weapons for players to get their hands on over the course of the game. Most of them are broken down into the same categories however such as machine guns, rifles, assault rifles, and so on. They each have their own personality of look and feel, but the main categories remain.

One new modes that they are working on at the moment is the new Tug of War. This nifty ditty actually gets played across several maps. They're still fixing and designing it, but it'll work something like this... say there are five maps. The game will start in the middle map. If the Allies win, the map will move to the next one along the Allies winning path. If the Axis win that second map, it will move back to the original map, which will have to be played again and determine which map it will move along to next. This keeps being played out until one of the teams finally makes it all the way to their final map and wins. It sounds like it could potentially cause some really long battles. It's an interesting idea that will be fun to see in practice.[/quote:ffbef]

There ya go.

Cheers m8.

Sticky bombs and smoke nades sound nice, but I'm not sure that's enough to make me buy it. The weapons I don't really give a s**t about, and the maps I'm sure will be made playable in MOHAA by some clever tart out there.

Guess it's wait and see time...

Re: Multiplayer features in Spearhead?
 

how about some ****NEW**** map glitches to go with your old map glitches that havent been fixed in 9 months!!!

:)

Nothing's perfect!

But seriously, I don't think Spearhead is looking too tasty multiplayer wise from what I've read so far - they should deffo be introducing vehicles.

Perhaps Scorpio can produce some stuff (if they rel the SDK that is)...

mode id like to have
 

one mode id like to have is such as the Conquest mode on a BIG map ... i like realism so i wanna shoot fo r the real thing

for example...

WW2 Online Bltzkreig

They run on gigantic map like structure , so that u gain and lose terrortory as u play

to me that would be 10x more intresting then the TDM right now
but TDM is fun and fine nothing wrong with it to me

These aren't the only weapons, don't forget that the Brits, french, italians, and japanese are involved in the pack as well, so you will use their weapons, too.

Yes, but at the end of the day they're just more mgs/rifles/handguns etc. I don't care how authentic they look or sound - they don't make much difference to gameplay at all for me.

what do they mean english troops
 

Don't they mean british troops?

Typical ain't it makers of the game about WWII don't even know enough about the countries that participated.

History lesson folks, Britain is 3 countries and a province all of whom fought and died in the BRITISH army during both world wars. Just using the term English is an insult to all non-english Britons.

now back to the game. MOHAA already has a British MP character...SAS...

Exactly, but most Americans tend to think Britain = England.

It does my head in.

We have the decency to recognise the difference between Canada and the US at least.

In response to Kaiser [K1]

Yeah but the English run everything :)

i live in england and i have to say i hate living here if i had the chance to move to the USA i would take it and not look back. i know its got nothing to do with what your on about but i had to get it off my chest cool:

Please dont try to pawn the Canadians off on us.

Okay guys , please lets not get into the country thing , okay ?? Besides I'm pretty sure it's against the rules of the forum ..... Thanks.

Back on subject , from what I've read there is going to be enough new stuff in the exp. pack to make it worth the money if you really enjoy playing this game.

I'll only by it if it gives you a whole new CD key. Like most expansion packs they just use the full version's CD key. Which makes its very easy to warez. Plus EA doesn't need anymore or my money.

Well I'm tired of hearing people whine about how they are bored with MOH:AA. If they don't want to spend the cash on an expansion pack then they can play BF1942 or Quake for all I care. I will probably get Spearhead, b/c I love the game so much. To each his own...

You can play as a Jap in multiplayer? God I hope that means we will have a few Pacific island multiplayer battles!

portable mg42's,smoke granades,and much more. in all, TEN new weapons from ww2,over 10 new maps, multiple multiplayer enhancments (possibly keyboards over your heads wen typing to stop those anoying type kills)
a new game type called tug of war. where thier a series of maps and u start of on the map in the midde of the list and if axis win the map goes to the next one on the list in the direction of the axis. or allies win, it would move to next map on the list toward the allies side. once a team gets all the way to the end of the maps on thier side, they win.

and dont 4get the 9 new single player missins... they should be fun till u stay up one night and beat them with ease. then multiplayer will take care of the rest:)

you mean 10 weapons from ww2 set up to act like pellet guns angel:

don't we want it to be easy to warez

I'm not "whining" about MOHAA in particular being boring, every game tends to be boring if you play it too much.

All I'm saying is, they can dress up extra guns etc all they want as new features, but stuff like RTCW styled kicking should be included in a patch.

The topic says Multiplayer features, yet here you are banging on about the single-player game.

I know of the "Tug-O-War" addition, and there's already a mod in production that has it working on MOHAA.

I WANT Spearhead to have new features, I want to "want to buy it". But there's nothing that justifies paying a full purchase price in it.
