Just thought I'd start one as this is out on 16th October. Looks great, MP by DICE who did BFBC2 which in my opinion is a better game than MW2. Just a shame that it was at times laggy due to US Servers. Apparently have European ones now so they've sorted it all out.

Anyone else thinking of getting this?

Have you tried the beta?

Just had 30 minutes on this.

Not bad at all. Just one small map that kept cycling. But, it looked good on my pc even with most things on medium and at 1680x1050 (no problems at all starting or getting a game)

Game play, movement felt a bit sluggish and heavy I don't personally like the toggle method of zoom/crouch etc but I think I saw an option to change that, felt like it needed a prone key.
I think the slow heavy feel made it feel a bit more realistic than some, but not sim levels.
I did feel it would make a reasonable team game, movement with cover and classes working together.

Didn't get snipered to death. Most people seemed to be playing assault or specialist.

Reasonably impressed.

PC version btw. I'll play again tonight and get a better impression.

It looks great and I really want it. Just hoping I can afford it when it comes out.

Just had an hour on the beta, not bad but I still ended up loading up COD4..... the full game needs a stunning single player story line, because the multiplayer doesn't appear to offer a lot more than MW2 or even COD4.

Watch his BFBC2 vids. He's anything but. I hope he was just messing about with the vid.

I'm sure it will as I've loved all previous MoH campaigns but I do hope it's as good as the trailers.

I'm going to go out there and say this won't have anything on BFBC2/COD. But I could be wrong. But I doubt it.

I wouldn't quite go that far the campaign has always been very enjoyable, only thing that let the series down recently has been online multiplayer.

Im pretty sure its made by the same guys who made bfbc2, so it should still be a good game.

The special edition comes with access to the bf3 beta too biggrin

I'm gonna trade f1, bcbf2 and mw2 for it. I'm so sick of mw2 at the moment, the connections seem to be really poor a lot of the time. Hopefully this will be better being UK server based.

I played in the beta for a few weeks to trial it out. I know it's only beta but the multiplayer was horrible.

My Beefs
-almost no gun recoil
-lots of campers (worse than MW2)
-can't shoot through walls
-feels like an expansion or mod for BFBC2
-nothing ground breaking
-too many choke points and not enough short cuts or alternative routes
-"phantom deaths" dying after you reach cover
-Only 3 weapons per team?
-Terrible maps, especially the winter one with far too much bloom and everyone sniping.
-Netcode is awwwwwful.


What I like
-tubing and grenades are balanced good
-killstreak method is cool
-scoring is pretty cool
-game has some potential

Great so more of the same then? I think there should be a penalty for campers when in the same place for a length of time. Camping ruins the fluidity of the game

Just got a pre release version to play with - first impressions are good story line (killing Taliban smile ), but prefer MW2 - same control system which helps.

Game has to go back tomorrow frown

The knifing action is better and the sounds are good, quite a bit of swearing in this one.

Have to say I've been looking forward to a new Moh game since pacific assault.
I reordered months ago and found the beta to be awesome!
Generaly looking forward to this more than anything this year
