I want my run and lean back. It seems that the players are running around alot faster. It's ok I guess.

Ahhhhh...I dont think MOH has changed that much, they have just added ALOT of options for folks to not have to fiddle with config files. I like the fact that they have tweaked the "HEALTH" settings to meet out health over a couple of seconds instead of instant, and I do like the new cleaner look of the models.

Right now though it's pretty tough to call this game. First off, for a "highly anticipated" demo, theres precious few servers going. Those that are, are either impossible to get into, or lag as hell. Which is a shame cause I REALLY like the looks of some of these maps, especially the SUB MAP. I think EA has a winner on its hand, since this game looks so god damn slick - but yea, there are some tweaks that need to be made FAST before the 12th gets here.

From my first impressions of the demo, I feel Spearhead MP is a BIG step in the wrong direction.

When you start a server, they've added the option for "fast" or "normal" movement speed. Last I checked, not a single server was using "normal" speed (un-checked "fast speed" from the filter). This truly makes MOH a strange UT-hybrid. It's mindless. Malta feels like playing UT or Quake. The tug-o-war, while full of potential, is ruined.

I like the vote system, but I can see it being abused.

Realism, please. More of it. Dedicated realism servers.

Smoke nades seem pretty useless. It's a great idea, but I don't feel it's implemented well... plus all the color everywhere distracts me.

I spent two hours w/ SH, then switched to reg moh and the difference was clear. MOH owns SH. SH is just a completely different game, it doesn't feel right... it feels fast paced, like UT. Obviously you can tell what kind of gamer I am, and what I prefer... so if you like the high speed mindless stuff, cool... enjoy SH.

did 2015 help devolp this one -- no?

would this have anything to do with the bf1942 feelings that are brought up. It feels to unrealistic to me... I don't know why.

Glory here, one of the biggest MOH freaks ever. I have been playing the game since day one of MOH days on PS1. I loved it, I didnt download the game yet because I wanted to wait for the full thing, totally see what its workin with but now I am very dissappointed with all the things I am hearing and totally think that EA ruined this great game, I think SH sucks compared to the originality of the first few MOHs. Damn u EA hake: , shit man, yall really fuked up in my books.

Think its time to keep AA going lol and maybe just find a new game like 007 or sumthin oOo:

SW-14 · 11-09-2002, 02:25 AM

Well, I played the sub-pen level and I thought it was awesome. It ran pretty good at high settings.

C20H25N3O · 11-09-2002, 02:36 AM

I guess we should of seen this comming with the last Medal Of Honor release -- Front Line. lets hope this is not the path the future holds for Medal Of Honor, I too have been enjoying the seris from early on PS1

Speaking of Frontline eek: I didnt even purchase it for that reason, I played it over a friends numerous times, didnt like it quite as much as the releases before Frontline. Well unless EA changes some of this I think ima going to have to go back to the store and pick me up another copy of the original MOH and MOH Underground ed:

Villain4Hire · 11-09-2002, 02:50 AM

I just played the demo for 45 minutes... man one thing I noticed.. close range it becomes like quake like .. man it kinda ruined it for me but i guess the server I was in was at some different speed setting or sumfin. OH yeah.... another thing I Noticed.. dunno if its just me or its the demo but you can't move and lean at the same time now.... if you move and try t to lean.. you can't lean.. you can only lean left and right if you are standing or crouching still.. but if your moving you can't.... it could just be me but that's how it is on mine

Sindonesia · 11-09-2002, 03:03 AM

I agree, the people do move around way to fast.

Rubberman · 11-09-2002, 03:16 AM

oOo:
I know this is just the demo but...
very laggy and overall server pings seemed kind of high.
I agree with villain, general movements and jumping are like quake.
I already miss run/lean hake:

why fix something that isn't broken?
But I'll stick with it a while and see oOo:

DeadBolt · **.. -** 11-09-2002, 03:24 AM

It's got more of a RTCW-style pace wise. Maybe its just that everyone puts on fast running, I dunno. I like the fact that realism is like always on. But something about it is weird. I'm beginning to like it more and more as i play it though. Im still gonna buy it on Tuesday. cool:

Oh and the only reason it was waaayyy laggy at first was cuz there was no dedicated high speed servers. It was all people like Me hosting from cable modems at home, just so they could play.The lag will get better once more dedicated servers start comin up! freak:

In reply to AntiHero:
The maps are bigger .. but i guess once u get around it enough you willl learn the paths..... i like bigger maps cause it keeps the game interesting..

I have to sympathize with you on the weapons.. i like the sniper rifles, being a good and experienced sniper myself.. it does add to the challenge.. however like u said, the g43 is way faster in real life! The springfield is ridiculously fast! i actually found myself using the nagant instead.. the nagant rifle is really good and i think i may call it my big boy! smgs are neat .. pshtush is unbalanced.... the axis nade-rifle is a bit too much.. i guess u can always dodge them, note however.. the closer u get to them, the more the chances they will end up killing themselves instead (the nade is launched in an arch. not a straight line)...i guess more playing will uncover more...

Overall.. im a bit shaken by the changes... guess time will tell......

P.S... Tug Of War Rocks!!!

sam-man · 11-09-2002, 03:28 AM

OMG! Spearhead am ghey!
Heres some things i need to get off my chest.
1. Rocketlaucnher = Well balanced, its great now. No complaints.

2. Grenadelauncher = Noobs replacement for the rocket.
I was in a 20 player server for about an hour, every single axis was using the grenade launcher. This is terrible, i was so pleased with how the rocket had been alterd, and EA (Or who ever devolped it) go and throw in another weapon for us to get our nickers in a twist over.

3. Not sure if the server i was on was running high speed, or real mode. But i woudl assume it was, as the game is now faster, you jump a little higher and you die alot quiker.
IM very anoyed about this, if they were going to alter MOH from its original playability i would have like to have that informaiton told to me earlier so i can go back to my local EB and get my pre-order money back.

4. Where is the ban weapon option? This was a big selling point for SH, and being an admin for two ISP's MOH servers, i was hoping this would be an asnwer to alot of the spamage issues online.

5. Somehitng i would like to inform other poeple running servers of. Faster speed+Real mode+Delayed respawn = Very anoyed players

Most of us in the Aus clan community decided SH would either make or break MOH for us. It has indeed broken it....

You want one of the lamest tactics in the game to return eek: ? If it takes you to run and lean to gt any type of decent score then imo you're playing the wrong game. That was one of the stupidest fucking tactics ive ever seen because it shifts the entire upper body from side to side making it harder to hit you.
