Anyone getting Medal of Honor for BF4 beta access?

I'm getting MOH for MOH but the BF4 beta is an added bonus for sure.

 

[Synthet1X]

just bought MOH digital deluxe for half off




4 new maps again...urbana destruction

new vehicles....and a crossbow...hmmmm

I think it is awesome that they credited the people that had already purchased the game before the promo. I got an email notifying me of the refund.

And this next expansion looks like it is going to be awesome. I think it is the one i am most excited for.

Sorry for the double post

I like that the upcoming maps are going to be more of a 'balance' between vehicle and infantry combat, not really going to an extreme on either side. I definitely prefer that approach.

Also the Crossbow sounds kind of interesting, if it does acceptable damage to vehicles I could see it being useful.

wow thats pretty cool that they refunded you!

Crossbow looks like a lot of fun. I can see myself trying to snipe people with that thing at far distances. That would be very satisfying to HS a dude across the map with a BOLT.

Yes... yes it would. I'm actually looking forward to this additional weapon. And Scavenger mode does sound quite intriguing.



For those taking up the 50% off MoH:W offer, are you simply taking a bit of a gamble due to the deal?
Anyone have any beta experience with the game? Is it fun?

Yep, and I have a couple other battlelog friends who got in on the alpha who liked it enough to buy it.

Just a heads up, they changed a lot of stuff since Alpha. Definitely tweaked the spec ops skill so it wouldn't be so overpowered. Different classes have different run speeds. High speed, Spec Ops and Point Man. Allarounder, Assault and Sniper. Slow but heavy hitting, Heavy Gunner and Demo.

I really like the two person fire team mechanics and there is ingame voice! If I remember correctly, there is an option to change it from Fireteam, Team and All Talk.

Not too sure how much more I can talk about, I'm still under a NDA.

Honestly I'm actually thinking this game will be much better than the first reboot. The single player was actually pretty decent on the first game and was developed by Danger Close. The MP by DICE was tacked on, and didn't feel connected to the single player at all. I'm interested to see what Danger Close does with the MP side of things in this game. Hopefully it doesn't feel nearly as rushed as the first game did.

Well I've gotten to the level on the jet where at least I don't crash instantly. Whoever suggested making spacebar the pitch key - that helped a bunch. I've built up to finally get air radar and can destroy vehicles regularly, but I can't seem to kick it up to the next step for dogfighting other jets. I'm always surprised at how fast another jet can waste me wih a cannon burst. I can get a few hits off, but have never been able to destroy a jet in without looping back around for a second burst. Also, damn I have trouble shaking a pro on my tail. Any advice appreciated.

Battlelog is acting squirrelly tonight........

Battlefield 3: Aftermath - scavenger gameplay mode revealed, crossbow gameplay and tremors

 

[hondaf17]

I can get the MOH for $30 too through the BF3 premium. However I'm still debating it. Especially with AK being relatively new and Aftermath out in December. How many of you bought the previous MOH? Didn't it die out in 1-2 months???

Next patch, DICE will include console commands to disable/enable color grading:

Yeah my accuracy in dogfights has improved but I have no idea how some guys are so deadly accurate. I use keyboard+mouse but in dogfights I mostly use the keyboard because I find the mouse too slow and if I increase the vehicle mouse sensitivity, it's too hard to hit ground targets.

I find dogfighting against another good pilot not really fun as you just end up constantly turning. I've been in single dogfights the lasted like 5-10 mins because we were both constantly turning at the optimal turn speed and neither of us could gain an advantage. One thing you can do is fly to your own base and if someone's manning the AA he will be force to break off. Also ECM can get you off his air radar for a few seconds.

This is pretty exciting. Now it will look like a glorified BF2 and not like a battlefield under water.

 

[DeadFred]

It will be nice to see for myself in game how it looks both ways. While a few look better, most of the screenshots Ive seen without the "blue tint" just dont look right to me.

I agree, I personally like the color grading, it helps make the game feel more cinematic. That's why they've been doing it with movies. The Matrix would not feel the same if they used raw colors straight from the camera. Same goes with Saving Private Ryan, O Brother Where Art Thou, No Country for Old Men, or even 300.

I heard they are coming out with an M243 saw for this expansion. I look forward to it.

Am I missing something here? I don't believe there is such a thing as an M243 SAW - we have the M249 SAW and M240B...

you don't mean a mitre saw, do you?! :biggrin: Makita has such a thing, apparently.

Yeah thats BS too, because I googled it before posting and google LIED to me. So, i'm still legit, right?

Just mean you do not play enough BF3, n00b. If you don't know your BF3 firearms by now, you should uninstall the game pronto.

If they would simply fix the up close insanity on the LMG's they have now I'd be happy. I'm actually back to the M249 to finish unlocking the last two things (well, one thing now), and I can see that it's slightly better close up than the M240 or M60.

Last night I shot a guy point blank about 3 times in the chest, once in the neck, and he then kills me. It is so enraging I could kill something each time it happens...grrrr....
