One thing i did notice though, is that the maps are very linear, so people are forced to complete the objectives, unlike in BC2 which you can run around freely and screw around on hours end.

Which makes killing people all so much easier. There are a few spots or cycle routes I had down within 5 minutes of playing a map.One thing i did notice though, is that the maps are very linear, so people are forced to complete the objectives, unlike in BC2 which you can run around freely and screw around on hours end.
I'm very interested to know where the hell the reviews for this game are, last time i checked, it comes out next week and there is 1 UK review. My google RSS feed hasn't changed in days. How the fuck does EA expect someone to buy a game when there are 0..ZERO...NADA reviews out 1 week before it starts, i ain't gonna pre order no dang game reboot til i know what i'm getting. Come on EA.
reviews usually dont drop till the day before or day after depending on if the company has gag orders on reviewers.
At least this has been the trend lately.
to have a fps game without destruction after BC2 feels like a letdown.
I've played for a few hours this evening. And I'm not really impressed. I don't see myself plunking down $60 for this game. It doesn't have anything that piques my interest.
I feel like it's BC2 with a few COD attributes. Seems average to me. Graphics-wise it's BC2 with new weapons. Gameplay-wise it's Rush and Conquest like in BC2. It even uses quite a bit of the audio dialogue from BC2 (for the US at least). It's fun, but it just feels like more of the same from the past 3 years...
I think this will make my decision to buy COD:BO or MOH quite a bit easier.
Severs have been down for a while, gonna try to get in again.
I just got done playing 20min ago.
I'm downloading it now. COD MW2 was like that in that all the guns were insta-kills. Just point and pull trigger = dead enemy no matter what. Whomever pulled the trigger first won, it didn't matter which gun you were using.
Strangely I actually kind of liked that since BC2 bothered the hell out of me with everyone using the same damn medic gun (M60).
According to Steam I've played MW2 for 175 hours, it's one of my favorite multiplayer shooters in the last five years. If you took my comments of 'every gun is an insta-kill' as a criticism, it wasn't. If you don't think MW2 was a 'whomever pulled the trigger first game' then I'll flip your comment around in that I'm not sure what game you were playing. Even the "bad guns" like the F2000 were still hilariously powerful and easy to rack up kills with.
Enough about MW2, I played 15 minutes of MoH just now and do not like the game. Will not be purchasing... it has a BC2 feel but without the awesome vehicle vs infantry dynamic, and the graphics in BC2 never appealed to me while MoH doesn't look to improve in that area (washed out colors, lots of sand/snow blowing around). Also, and this is fairly minor, but the player movement in MW2 felt really good - you could strafe left/right while sprinting...etc. It bugs me that I can't do this in BC2 and now MoH.
