I am looking forward to this and will buy it as soon as it's released.
I just finished MOHAA/Spearhead sp for the 4th time.
I love the MOH/COD series and I'm not sick of WWII games.

Hey, at last I found someone like me.

lol i thought i was alone :!

I have a secrete that i keep private ;(

I am such a ww2 buff that i play one of the most horrible mmo game called World War 2 online.

Well, a new designer diary came out about the game.
It looks to me like you're able to carry two weapons. I both like and dislike this. I like the option of taking two, but I think you should only be allowed one, because, in all honesty, paratroops didn't have the option to take 2 guns. One gun with as much ammo as they could stuff into their m1942 jump suits.
But whatever, I won't let it ruin the game, I just find it a bit unrealistic.
Here is the designer diary and movie
The movie is pretty cool because it shows you aiming a bazooka at a tank, so it shows that you can shoot at tanks yourself, with the recoilless rifle.

Having only one weapon is too restrictive and ruins the fun. At a minimum all games should allow at least two weapons so you can have a sniper + close range option.

 

[TehMac]

Eh maybe, but considering they're letting you do alot with that, ala customize it etc, it feels a bit redundant to carry two, but you're probably right. Still, it's rather silly, because the ordinary paratrooper you play as wouldn't be a super rambo, equipped with a Thompson and a Garand.

i cant wait to play airborne.

im building a new rig just so i can play airborne. my current rig was good for moh allied assault, spearhead, and breakthrough... and even pacific assault but might not work for airborne.

i love the series so much i actually BOUGHT the games.

can never get tired of WWII games.

 

[waggy]

ohh good. I love WWII games. the MOH is a good series.

at least on the computer. the wii version was a major letdown.

Airborne looks to be a definate improvement compared to Pacific Assualt. I got it on my 'must get' list. :thumbsup:

Unrealistic eh? Unlike, say, taking 10 bullets to the chest being cured with a health pack found in an abandoned bombed out house?

The airdrop spawn point things for multiplayer looks really cool.

Demo comes out tomorrow on Fileplanet.

 

[MarcVenice]

It is out right now ... http://www.gamershell.com/download_20718.shtml

Played it, liked it, will be reviewing it ^^

 

[mrblotto]

Just got done playing it for about 10 mins. Graphics are pretty good, but what is up with the mouse movement? There's like a delay or something with it...........

 

[raystorm]

mmm...not too darn bad! In fact..the best MoH game made by EA though thats not really saying much. The level was big and it had an open feel to it, the graphics are pretty good (though no AA which I guess is an U3 Engine thing), excellent sound and it ran very well for me.

ohh thanks! :beer:

damn, about every demo source I find is getting hammered. Can barely manage about 100kb.

 

[Modelworks]

I played the demo.
The graphics are pretty good.
The enemy, ehh kinda dumb, could stand a few ai improvements.
Overall I like the game and it plays well.

My main gripe would be the mouse.
It seems to lag when targeting.
Reminds me of every other xbox port that has the aiming designed for the controller not the mouse.
The metal in the game also tends to glow.
I think they were trying to do reflections from the metal but its a bit too much and makes the buttons on the uniforms look like little lights.

Not much to customize in the menus graphics wise.
No AA in the menus, guess we have to force it in drivers.

I won't preorder this one.
I've decided I'm not ordering anything anymore on a pc that has a console release until after its released and I see they didn't skimp out on the pc version.

yeah after the bioshock BS i will wait until i read reviews.Also if its just going to be a transfer from the Xbox or PS3 to PC then i might pass. Bioshock is just the 360 version on a PC. limited amount you can change. the widescreen is a joke in it.

 

[lupi]

I had tried several others while in a fileplanet queue, but like I said all of them were struggling to hit much >100. Even after having to wait about 50 minutes for FP, the overall time is much less as I now can pull it down at about 350.

Still too damn slow.

oh whatever.

was fun to shoot them. good way to relieve stress!

I played it, and I didn't notice and mouse lag, but my gripe is with the handling--everything seems kinda clunky I guess, but I hate having to hold down the right mouse button every time to use iron sights. I looked in the menu, but I didn't see a menu to change that. I liked the graphics, I liked the feel of the game, going around this town blasting Italians and Germans, and using different loadouts that upgrade with use. It's pretty nice, I like it.

I don't like it enough to pre-order, never done that with any game, but I like it enough to consider buying the game when prices go down.

I actually like holding down for the iron sites, now its much quicker to move into and out of them.

Also recoil is much more noticeable on the guns. Graphics very nice, definitely gonna be a vid card hog. Love the entering missions via airdrop.

Enemy AI seems about the same, continue to congregate to a couple key points till overrun, no real going out to pursue you before you can gang up on them.

 

[TehMac]

Maybe I'm just not an observer, but I had no problem with AI in terms of lacking intelligence. The AI was always moving, coming behind me, coming in front of me, they were an anthill!

I love unlocking things for mah gun, I unlocked 3 things (I think that's the max for the demo) for the Colt .45. Finally a game that gives respect to that pistol! I just used that as my main weapon, and pwned ass with it.

I liked the Thompson and Garand stuff, but I only got to Tier 1 with both weapons.

I love going through that Italian city, it feels like a city, especially with you clambering all around it--you feel much more involved in that respect as opposed to CoD2, where it's just walk around the corner, shoot this, that, and that, and move over here with limited freedom.

In Airborne, I felt like a master of my own destiny! I love the sounds and shooting and recoil of the gun--that's a plus for me.

Enjoyed the demo, but my 7900GS got pwned
