Yeh, well, just for a laugh I reinstalled SH and completed the utterly short SP in about 3 hours.

The only "hard" section is the Truck bit. And when I say hard I mean "Have to use Quick Save and Load more than other areas because you cannot avoid being hit".

The only enjoyable section is the last mission and the first one.

Damn, they started it so well.. The BOB-esque start sequence has so much promise and really looks cool.

The first mission is great with the British working with you (even though they couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat).

Then it goes all snowy and gay. Sure, you know there are loads of friendly AI fighting alongside you, but you know full-well that basically it's you doing all the work. Without you, it seems, the war would have been lost and Germany would now own Europe.

It's a single player expansion pack, what do you want the rebirth of hitler? Maybe they could have made the friendly AI players really good so you could just sit back and watch and still win the maps? that would have been really exciting

Liked the game? I LOVED IT!!! Single-Player wasn't that great, I mean it had some great parts but multiplayer kicked in every way!

I want something more than 3 hours worth of entertainment, for starters. Granted, the first time I played it on hard mode it took me a few days to finish but that's only because I deliberately paced myself to a mission a day.

But that wasn't my point (yawn, here we go again). My point was that it could have been so much more than what it was and that it was a very promising start that failed to live up to what it could have been, just like the original MoH:AA.

How droll.

Perhaps if they made both the friendly AI and the enemy AI really good then it would mean you would be forced to work with your AI team-mates to ensure that you won.

As it stands, having an enemy AI stand still looking right at me without responding while I lean around the corner popping him off whilst my friendly AI fire innefectively at the other enemy for a good 5 seconds without hitting isn't what I'd call good AI.

The very fact that, except for a few exceptions, every single enemy AI is killed by me and me alone goes to show that despite their efforts to make this less of a Rambo shooter and more of a team-based shooter, EA have failed to improve on the AI in this respect at all.

What do you expect from a full-priced expansion, mate?

I suppose you expect to pay $20 for a short game, with below average AI, various bugs (which are never fixed) where the majority of the MP maps are created by the community (for no payment whatsoever)?

You obviously never played the original Half-Life, from which many improvements and modifications were released for free, virtually all of which are of a higher standard than anything EA have done for MOH. This guaranteeing sales of the original HL units right up until the release of HL2 over 5 years later.

No, you didn't get my post at all. I expect more, I didn't get more and I couldn't give a shit what I got because EA won't be getting any more of my money - Not that they got a penny from me for MoH:SH because I bought it second hand.

You evidently have lower standards. That's cool by me. Whilst you're enjoying the wonders of the next shitty expansion, Breakthrough, I'll be enjoying the true AI genius of HL2.

The words "back", "skin", "off" and "no" come to mind.

Very well done Ydiss. You basically summed up what I thought about the MOHAA franchise, and you didn't offend anyone by doing like I always manage do to. mwah:

Shit, I dunno why you aren't a moderator here yet. Although I am a temporary admin I'd still need to cosult the high council of wise old sages to make sure they'd be okay with it.

Lol, cheers (Sorry, which of the mods were you originally? Please forgive my ignorance!) but if I were a mod it'd be very part-time after me baby's born, you understand.

Yeah, totally understandable. You would be a nice addition to the mod staff, even you can't contribute as much as you want to.

I do agree with you that the single player SH was short, and the AI were fairly dumb, I bought the game for neither. Where I get confused is why are you still here? You obviously dislike MOHSH, and EA games, and half-life is, in your opinion, a far better game... Why not go bitch and whine on a half-life forum? I mean, I've looked at several of your posts and you might as well write one, then just keep coping and pasting it... Maybe something like this:

<insert name> you are a F*uking idiot. You don't know nearly as much as me. MOHSH sucks. I don't even play anymore. EA games are the devil.

I'm sure i've left something out... this is just for starters.

On another note, we agree, I can't wait for HL2 to come out either. Maybe then you'll start going to a different forum

Oh, man, that really hurt. You're right, I should stop posting here!

Sorry guys I'm going to have to stop playing MoH:AA and delete my aa.com account.

:rolleyes
