Haz happened to me too.

Does anyone know what the 3rd unlock tier is for the M1 Garand.

Aiming sucks? Your aim sucks, thats what you mean I have no trouble iron sighting the bad guys with a garand. Make enough kills and the aiming and accuracy will only improve. If you're talking abt using iron sights with the thompson or the mp-40, german machinegun, those guns are for close qaurter, you don't aim with them, you spray with them when you rush into a building ^^ The gun accuracy is in my opinion pretty realistic. No you can't really aim as well as I'm doing with some of the rifles getting headshots 9/10 times, but the thompson and the colt handgun are pretty realistic, this is probably to make sure they aren't overpowered.

And I'm going to check out my CPU when playing the game. I wouldn't be suprised if it maxes out my x2 3800+ @ 2.6ghz.

I played CoD2 and the iton sights worked really well with thomopsons and other machine guns. even with a garand its not so easy.

 

[MarcVenice]

Worked really well, yes, but is it realistic? Maybe you think it sucks, but then I simply have to disagree. It works for me. Theres no such thing as accurate shooting with a thompson or a mp-40. Perhaps that other german gun could be a little accurate, but that's it. Rifles are a whole other ballgame though.

 

[TehMac]

I found using the Thompson was very accurate, it did/does take practice and 1337 skills that I posess to master the gun's iron sights. I almost never use the crosshairs now, and go straight for the head. That takes practice too. The leaning thing is very intuitive, and I'm happy to say this is the first console-PC game from EA that actually looks like the dev did keep PC Gamers in mind.

I just had some crazy cinematic moments, I was on the roof, picking away at targets on the ground, the ragdoll physics is great, the lighting is where the UE3 really shines (no pun intended). Anyway, I was on roof, blasting away with my M1 Garand, I ran out of ammo, and then started shooting away with the Thompson (using the iron sights of course) and then I ran out of ammo...these guys just kept coming, and my team mates were all getting killed ( I love how its not like CoD2, where if your teammates die, more come right off the bat) and so they were all shooting at me, the sounds were great, plaster and tile was getting chipped away from under me, I felt my ball sack might get ripped away any minute. Absolutely stunning, they were running from that blazingly lit alleyway, the light reflecting off their German-borrowed stormtrooper helmets and screaming obscenities at me in Italian.
it was fucking pwnage.

And btw, its quite possible to shoot accurately with the Thompson; use iron sights, aim, fire in bursts. Nice elongated bursts, but not to where it becomes a hose fest.

grenade launcher

 

[TehMac]

Yeah, I got the grenade launcher, that thing pwned hard ass.

 

[MarcVenice]

How do you switch from the grenade launcher to the normal gun again? I didn't know hehe

middle mouse button

There's also a hidden springfield sniper rifle in the demo :Q to get it, add -enableconsole to the target line of the console. Then, go into the game and go over to where you go after you kill all the AA guns. type "ghost" (without quotes) into the console to get through the wooden gate. also type "god" to make yourself invincible because there might be some german troops in there. go to the end of the street, where you should see a house with a MG42 machine gun in one of the windows on your right. Go into the house, and up the stairs, and there will be a springfield sniper rifle on the floor with a beam of light shining on it

 

[Nightmare225]

Yeah, I heard they blocked off areas like that in the demo...

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.

true, at least until they improve enough upon AI enough to allow for true team squads, or better yet, campaign through LAN or even online co-op. I'd love to play a game where you're really part of a squad like that and have to work fairly well with your teammates to complete the missions

 

[MarcVenice]

Theres some upcoming games you might like bunnyfubbles. Like Clive Barker's Jericho for example. Theres more sqaudbased games coming out, can't remember them all on the top of my head though.

In MoH: AirBorne you DO get to carry 2 weapons btw, you can pick a close combat weapon like a thompson, a rifle like a garand, and you always have a sidearm with unlimited ammo.

Nice :thumbsup:

Anyone see anymore info on what these paralanding skill ups do? I've come across at least a half dozen places where you get the message just in a couple walks around the town.

 

[MarcVenice]

No clue, I kinda hope that when you get your wings though, you can land with 1 hand and blast away as you float down.

I got to play the demo last night, took forever to get it downloaded.
I'm impressed. The freedom to go do what you wanted was so refreshing in a genre that had been reduced to go here, do this, follow this path and shoot some Nazis while you are at it.
The only thing I thought needed some work was the friendly AI, it would often go Rambo with Thompson blazing and get shot to bits for no real reason.

 

[Genx87]

I am having an interesting issue. When i play this game a warning buzz is going off in my computer. I cant tell if it is the GPU or the MB, but I am certain it is overheating of some type. has anybody else experienced this issue?

I have a C2D @ stock with retail fan-Never had this issue
EVGA 8800GTS 640 @ stock
Gigabyte DS3

Vista Business 32.

Without delving too far into it, wondering if the game isnt setting the fan in motion on the GPU and thus overheatings it pretty fast. Most games I can hear the thing spin up. It isnt loud but there is a definately sounds. This one it is quiet as ever until the beeps.

Hey, at last I found someone like me.

I guess you found another one because I played MOHAA 3 times and Spearhead twice.

Available Wed at CC for $40.

 

[schneiderguy]

There's an AI mini-mod for the demo that replaces the regular italians you fight with "smarter" soldiers. They now can use grenades, supressing fire, etc.

 

[lupi]

Anyone pick it up yet?

We must have played different demos...because i don't recall much freedom in the game.

You parachute from the plane and can land anywhere on the map, even rooftops. Then you can run around anywhere on the map and take out the targets in whatever order you want. Many of the houses and buildings were open for you to run through. What more freedom could you have?

 

[Gusty987]

Went to 2 CC's close by, still not on the shelves.

Yeah, pretty much a I didn't really play this demo statement.

You drop from above the map via parachute and all the buildings in the villa have at least 2 entry/exit points.

Without even having to make an actual list, I'd fell more than confident in saying that this is in the top 5 of free roaming games.
