I'm happy I did not pay for MoH:AA

Blashy · 02-02-2002, 04:59 AM

6-8 hours of game play? That's it?!

They expect me to pay for a game I will only have at the VERY most 8 hours of gameplay when you have plenty of games for the same price with over 80+ hours?

40$ game at a conservative 250 000 copies sold = 10 000 000$, quite the nice profit, they could at least bother to make the game over 25 hours (at the VERY minimum).

NO I don't want to play MP, it's same old, same old and I'm no fan of realism based MP games. I know I'm a minority these days when it comes to FPS and realism, hehe.

If you like MP, you'll get your money's worth I'm sure, if you don't, don't buy it, play it from a friend who has a copy.

Serious Sam, Red Faction, RtCW and now this, can't wait for C&C:Renegade, at least it has an innovative MP, even if the SP will be no more than 10 hours "sigh". They'll get my money as for the 1st 3 mentionned and this game... sorry, maybe next time.

The ending was awfull by the way.

See you in there.

ill agree with you that not everyone want to play MP. i enjoy the occasional MP skirmish, but nothing serious. simply i dont have time.
i will be buying it, dispite what ive heard...like too short, crap ending etc, there are already mods in progress and more to come im sure.
the game itself may not be worth the $40 or £30, but the results of mod makers and addons make those games worthwhile in the long run.

WHAT, there is a sp? j/k.
I'm sorry you did not like this game. I for one rather play MP as SP tends to get boring for me. I did however like MOH's SP. I thought the AL was the best so far. Now that I got the SP out of the way. All I will play is MP. I like the challenge of MP with real opponents.

I agree for $40-$50 buck is a lot of a game, but I think this one is well worth it and can't wait for the other 2 upcoming versions.

I'm glad you don't like the game, that way you can leave these forums and we don't have to put up with you.

No replies, just get outta here now please.

Well, Blashy, the rest of us are pretty happy you didn't pay for it, too. I can just imagine your whining in multiplayer about this or that.

Kinda ironic, though, to hear you b*tch about the evil profits when you didn't even pay for the game you just played. I guess if you have "Co." or "Inc" after your name, its evil to charge people what they're willing to pay, but when you enjoy the product without paying at all....well, as long as you don't have "Inc" in your name, you're a victim. Otherwise, it's called theft.

That is RAW profit. What about the programmers behind the game (and other costs to run the company)? The company's image might not be a good one, but the programmers behind the game are people just like you and me (i'm a web programmer - close enough... he he) and if they go belly up, what do you think that happens those people? I beleive that in these rough times, we should support them... no?

single play sucks (every game)mp rocks.AI is always too predictable and easy in all games.

It's really not all that surprising that the SP game comes across as short on the PC. The game has console roots; that's no secret. Quake III engine aside, MOH:AA is designed just like its console bretheren on the Playstation, only this time with the typical "save anywhere" PC feature. This shortens up the game because it does not force you to replay levels until you get them perfect ... which is fine by me.

Since the PSX Medal of Honor (which was brilliant) I have wanted a PC version of the game, not just for the game itself and keyboard/mouse controls, nor for the multiplayers aspect. I've wanted a PC version for the wealth of user-created add-ons that are sure to flood the online community in the months following the game's release. PC games have longer legs that console games *despite* being generally easier to beat (due to save options) for this exact reason.

Half-Life is four years old and is still wildy popular, still cool as hell, and has probably the single greatest assortment of mods and add-ons anywhere. My hope is that MoH will see a similar (if not as huge) base of support, with plenty of new fun designed by users.

*That's* why I bought MoH:AA for the PC rather than wait for the XBox version or skip it altogether. Only 8-12 hours of SP gaming? So what! They were *great* hours of gaming as good as, and better, than anything else on the market ... and the fun is only just beginning.

I agree re: not paying. Lazy programmers, unrealistic gameplay (snipers firing randomly around the corner, and hitting 100% of the time, regardless of where you move; enemy soldiers invulnerable to fire and explosions, etc), slow frame rates on a decent machine (1.7G AMD with a geforce3), no save-game overwrite feature... The list is too long. RtCW was a much better experience.

I wish the moderators banned people who talk about using warez.

It's funny that people who post about using warez are flamed, but really the forum mods need to take charge.

If I want good WW2 MP I would get DoD Beta 2. If I want good WW2 SP I get....nothing!

465182 · 02-02-2002, 09:36 AM

sorry, scumbag - i did pay for mine, and i regret it deeply. i was simply agreeing with the original poster's sentiment. as for me using numbers... well, 'CaptBunny'... nuf said.

Blanke · 02-02-2002, 09:47 AM

Ahhh well boo-fucking-hoo-hoo. I'm sorry that MOH didn't give you a hard on.

Whats with all the whiny, spoiled litte-brats in this thread?
Boo-hoo Germans keep sniping me and I can't beat Omaha! This game sucks. Only 8-hours of the best Single player experience ever? What a F*(king rip-off! 2105 is lazy, only my opinon matters and noone-else's! They should have made the game like I wanted it!

I ain't paying for this sh*t. I got my DSL which my mommy pays for so I can just warez this pos! Whoop-de-doo! Look at me everyone! I'm a F**king Moron!
