    Medal of Honor: Warfighter
    Release Date: October 23th for the States and October 25th for Europeans.​

    71702_LB_135.jpg

    Danger Close, the studio behind the modern era Medal of Honor is slated to release the sequel next week on PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
    The game is powered by the Frostbite 2 engine rather than the odd blend of Unreal Engine 3 for the singleplayer and the Dice made multiplayer from the last time and before you even ask about it, yes it will use Battlelog just like Battlefield 3.

    If you bought the Battlefield 3 Premium DLC pack you can get a 50% price reduction on Origin when buying the game!

    I also took the liberty of reserving our Battlefield 3 platoon name as well.
    Link to the MoH: Warfighter platoon

    We also got some videos from the game.

    Would like to add all three videos but the forum only allows for two embedded videos.​

    I'm going to have to wait for a price drop. I don't play online military shooters; I'm mainly just interested in the graphics and tech behind the game. It'll be a nice bonus if the campaign is actually decent though :)

    Hopefully it will be. The last one had a pretty moving campaign, although awfully short.

    Agreed. It was a nice change to play something that wasn't completely over the top like some of the cod campaigns... well, all of the cod campaigns actually lol.

    if you want access to the Battlefield 4 beta then order by tomorrow as the small print says thats when the offer ends.

    so what is everyone going for, the digital deluxe edition £49.99 or the limited edition £39.99

    Limited. I didn't see a need to spend $10, well $5 more for digital deluxe because it only offered one extra gun up front and the soundtrack. Meh, who cares.

    I'm still waiting for MW3 to drop dirt cheap so I can play the single player campaign. Have no interest in MP with that game.

    The funny thing here in Norway was that the Limited Edition and the Digital Deluxe Edition was priced the same, so i went for the Digital Deluxe.
    Really looking forward to the singleplayer myself, and if they got coop its gonna sweeten the deal so much. :)

    Is this just wishful thinking? I can't find a thing about co-op, but it would be huge and a sale for me also.

    EDIT: NVM Looks like MP is co-op, not sure if this is good or bad for me yet.

    Im kinda wishing they make some coop similar to what they had in Battlefield 3, only better.
    6 missions with 2 player only but it ended up being just a grind to get the damn coop exclusive weapons. ;(

    Is here anyone playing this game on dual gpus? Seems like my second 680 does not work for this game. Though single GPU is enough for this, I'm still curious about you guys' situation

    What are the graphics like on this game? Is it pushing our cards to max and does it have excellent eye candy? I am just use to dishonored and although a nice game some of the graphic textures are really average and want to know if this game is worth the $$ this time..

    TIA

    Though it shares the same engine as Battlefield 3 my guess would be that it might look slighly less impressive since Danger Close never actually made a game with Frostbite engine.
    Im just hoping they got a better singleplayer than BF3 with some coop.

    There may not be a profile yet for the game. Try using the BF3 SLI / Crossfire profile.

    this game taxes the gpu more than bf3, and i think it looks better maxed out. Im playing single player right now and enjoying the hell out of it.

    I picked up MW3 for $13. I have no interest in EA MP military games anymore, so I'll do the same for MOH, just wait for a huge price drop. Though fun did get the previous MOH for $0.

    How is everyone liking it? Is multiplayer as good as BF3? Trying to decide if I should jump on the half off deal or not.

    The multiplayer in this game is very similar to that of a TDM on BF3, but better.
    No crappy hit detection like in BF3 either.

    Can you explain the class structure? Do you get assigned to one side (like in BF3) and hence get army specific weapons? Or can you play as a character from any of the nations that they showed in the trailer? Seems a bit weird to get a whole motley of different nations fighting on each side.

    And regarding the classes, is there sniper/heavy/rifler/spec ops etc. within each specific nation, all following their own upgrade paths, or is it more like cod where there is universal upgrades that you can apply to any class/nation? And whats the shooting like - real recoil or more like cod?

    And hows the 'buddy' system? TBH from the trailers/dev interviews it looks kinda lame - seems like they are encouraging you NOT to fight as a team but as a pair.

    I played a couple of minutes of some single player gameplay at a console demo at a store. The door breach options look ok, although apart from the visuals I couldn't honestly see any difference between choosing one or another (e.g. kicking door vs using the tomahawk). All of them cause the same slow mo, would have been smarter to make just flash bangs etc cause slow-mo. IMO the Swat series and Tom Clancy Rainbow 6 series did this much better.

    I also find it hilarious how they bill it to be excessively realistic, yet still allow you to have unlimited ammo on your pistol as well as top up ammo from friendlies with apparently no detrimental effects (like in the previous MoH). They really could have added a whole squad ammo management system (so you can't infinitely top up) and force you to conserve ammo with your starting weapons, so people wasting ammo might have to pick a gun off the ground.

    From the little I played, graphics were great for console (and I assume a lot better on PC), frostbite always looks awesome. Gameplay seemed kinda generic though. For a game meant to be very accurate to real life Tier 1 operations I didn't see anything remotely realistic about the missions. Of course, its a game etc but then don't market it that way. The previous MoH had much better (in the sense of being real-to-life) missions, that honestly had me feeling it seems possibly accurate.

    Probably wait for a price drop.

    My answers are marked out and the singleplayer was actually kind of awesome, so i will probably replay it again on Hardcore difficulty.

    It runs at 60fps on Ultra preset as long as i ditch the AA, and this is with stock clocks.
    Of course i played it on Ultra textures with everything else on high and it looked exacly the same.

    Hey guys. Thanks for all the feedback on this game. I pre-ordered it online last week and it was delivered to a family member's house yesterday. I will be picking it up tomorrow. Can anyone give me an idea on how this might run on my rig? Thanks. Also if anyone is doing multiplayer please post your Gamer Tag.

    It took me a while to figure it out but I got it. Click on Lobby at the top left of the screen. Then click on "Back to Main Menu" underneath the " Recent Server" window. You now have the option to Quit. I hope this helps.

    campaign is ok,ish. best bit so far has to be the car chase through the city. i think that will be the only level i would ever play again. the rest of it is average.

    God the critics are dumping on this game. I was really hoping it would be at least half way decent so I could give it a shot and drool over the graphics. Although I'd play a farming sim if they made it in Frostbite 2 lol. I just like the eye candy. Hopefully I can pick this up for 10 bucks eventually.

    lots of camper snipers everywhere so yup, just like B3 :D
    the graphics are no were near as good or relistic as B3 more like cod multi. the maps are quite good but i keep getting shot to buggery and have no idea where they are firing from. the spawning is different and you are somehow paired up to a buddy so if you are spawning and then he gets shot the game then looks for someone else to spawn to so can take some time.

    the multi is ok, but just that, ok. but others must like it as they are on levels 40+ and they must have been playing continuously to get that high up or there is some cheating going on with cracks already.

    i saw that it said i had 20 unused tokens but i have no idea how you claim them.
    just had a couple more games. i have to load a whole magazine into someone to kill him but it sounds like one or two shots and im dead.
    im still getting crashes back to desktop now and again and also had my first punkbuster has kicked you. the reason .... so can anyone explain what .... is :D

    15 days until blops released and then this game will be a thing of the past.
