Well seeing as we all enjoy a good WW2 romp I thought id post my views on this "best fps since halflife type thingy"

The first 3 main missions, and sub missions are truly wonderful, I wholeheartedly agree with every review on this.
Very atmospheric, AI giving orders etc...a joy to play.
The D-Day mission is a sight to behold...its Saving private ryan in a pc game, really good fun.

Then the missions start to go down the pan a bit....the tank driving one especially...its a console fans dream come true, nearly 3rd person on a tank blowin donkee up...boring.
Surely a little imagination here would of made this part of the game better, a nice inside tank sight, smoke from discharged shells making the screen foggy etc, but no you just ping around on a tank firing at buildings.
"oh look theres a baddie-bang" and he just dies...no blowing him to bits, no shell crater in the ground.

After the this it all goes to pot, same old objectives, run round, blow things up in a linear fashion etc...all got a bit boring im afraid.
And the ending, well I was particularly disappointed...no thought seems to have gone into the latter missions.

Perhaps the guys who designed the first 3 main ones were so chuffed they went out for a beer, got locked out of EA's building and a YTS chap finished the game off, thats how it feels im afraid.


Overall its too linear, no real puzzle solving, turn this, turn that, its the red flashy thing you cant miss it.
As i said, the 3 main ones at the start are great fun, these missions are the best I have ever played on a PC game..but the lack of imagination on the latter few really make it fall short in the "wow what a game" award.

Just my thoughts here, no one elses, but if only they had put a little bit more imagination into it...oh it could of been the best game ever.

not got to the tank bit yet.

i think it was pcgamer said this game was better than HL, what a load of pap.

HL really made you feel like you were there, you had to thin kfor yourself and you made sure you didnt die.
with moh its just walk down here shoot that bloke move on shoot another bloke.
although i like it and i like running around shooting people(not in RL ) it just aint HL, its just a bit too planned out for my liking.

and it looks like sh1t on a p3 600 with tnt2 :)

Nuuu vort PC's r w1n. And you don't spell altogether 'all together' :P

PCZ said it was better than HL as well. Yes its a great game, and the first 3 missions are first class, and mission 4 is fun. I'm on Mission 5 atm,just cleared the town and about to start on the tiger tank :)

The mission your on banshee is fairly good, the start anyway hehe.
Its the next bit that disappoints me..youll see, maybe im just old but in a game where they seem to have a good blend of realism against shootem up fun surely the designers could of thought of a few more ingenious missions instead of run-shoot-pull switch-die.
Thats me gripe.......a good game spoilt by unimaginative mission design.

DD here *shock*,

i played the demo, decided graphically it was too colourful (not sure if u understand what i mean, but it didnt look saturated enough :) ). Also decided i didnt like the feel of circle strafing nazis. So i havnt bought it.

Also, one of the great thing about half-lifes grunts were u almost felt they were equal to you (well, when you first played it)...other games going for realism (as opposed to serious sam) tend to spoil the illusion by having combat with loads of enemies...and you come out the winner.

aye i played the demo and i would of liked it to of had a more dod 'feel' to it, instead of being able to charge around killing things without getting killed.

yea i wubed the first few missions and started to get bored after that
there were no real surprises like the first few missions.
In my opinion not worth the money one bit.
