HOLY SHIT I just finished my first play through of the demo. Incredible. The first and only game that has brought back that Allied Assault feel to me since 2002. And, just like Bioshock, the game runs smooth on my old ass machine at max settings. If this is any indication of the UE 3.0 engine, those guys did an outstanding job on optimization.

I found this demo to me much more satisfying than the Bioshock demo, but that's mainly because you only get to fight a few enemies in Bioshock. I am definitely wanting to play the rest of this game TODAY. I don't want to wait. They did an excellent job on almost everything IMO. Of course, if the MP turns out to be garbage, it doesn't really matter. Luckily, I've heard the MP is quite solid, regardless of glitches/exclusions at the moment. If EA actually supports this game, instead of releasing a 1.1 patch and then giving the community a collective "fuck you," this game just might turn into one of the most popular games on the PC, even giving some pretty stiff competition to COD4 (I'll be getting that as well).

I can't really say enough about MOHA. MOHAA was the first PC game that I truly loved (I liked Wolf 3d, Delta Force, etc, but not love). I spent many hours playing MOHAA's SP through, because the experience was unmatched at the time. It seems that MOHA is going to deliver that same experience. In these days, actual gameplay and mechanics is important, but at the end of it, you're going to get a lot of similar gameplay with a lot of shooters in terms of weapons, iron sights, movement, etc. It's the experience that sets the good from the bad (charging the hill in Stalingrad on COD1 was astouding, for example). It's moments like those that sell a game, and I think MOHA is going to give gamers a lot of those moments.

Unreal Engines usually are always top notch

Definitely. It wasn't until recently that I found out that Splinter Cell Double Agent and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory both use the Unreal 2.5 engine, which has to be at least 3 years old. Somebody told me they use that engine, and I thought he was bullshitting me, because I know what games like America's Army, Brothers in Arms, Red Orchestra, etc look like, and they use UE 2.5.

MOHA's graphics aren't top of the line by any means, but it still looks very cool. When I say not top the line, it's still one of the best looking games I've ever played, but not quite to the Bioshock, Crysis, COD4, GOW level. However, I'd say MOHA gives a stronger cinematic experience than those games (a little absurd to assume this, considering two of those games haven't been released, but I'm going by video). The motion blur is done well, as is the sprint bobble. It gives this cinematic experience that is pretty rare. Gears of War tried going for this with their sprint, but it didn't quite work out too well. I think MOHA practically nails it here.

Has anyone had the enemy chucking grenades yet? ive played through it a few times now and thats what ive just noticed, they don't seem to use grenades, unless they do it on expert difficulty maybe?

I've played twice now, both times on expert. I haven't seen a grenade yet, but maybe that's either because the Italians don't have nades on them (look at the soldier difficulty and it's a 1/10) or they're just too stupid to do that, like your Sergeant says at the end.

One thing I did see a lot on expert was their tendency to rush me if I got even remotely close to them. One time I was shooting guys at one of the AA positions, and all of a sudden some guy starts hitting me in the back of the head. I was like thanks guys for watching my back. It took me about 4-5 hits to realize I was getting smacked. happy:

Just got the second upgrade for the mp40, a 64 round magazine, you lose the taped ability but it reloads almost as fast.

A guy also modified a cfg file so its possible to have all 3 upgrades after a few kills.

not a bad game, dark as hell but not bad, i turned the brightness up and its still pretty damn dark. My only problem is my computer, its running the game choppy, but i dont want to turn everything on low and run at 800x600.
