  • Medal of Honor now out and on Steam

    Click image for larger version Name: Gamescom-2010-Medal-of-Honor-Hands-On-Impressions.jpg Views: 1 Size: 93.1 KB ID: 596458 Medal of Honor is now available, and despite a seemingly unfixed multiplayer experience from closed beta, to open beta and into retail, the game is still garnering some attention. The game is $69.95 USD on the Australian Steam store, but if you're not interested in the seemingly cookie-cutter online experience, will the single player campaign justify the purchase?


    Probably not, with EDGE saying it's "a heavily scripted, linear shooting gallery in which hordes of enemies bundle towards you without any thought of self-preservation." Those thoughts seem consistent with other publishers, as the game has only produced meta review average of 74 across all platforms.

    The development was splintered between two teams, one working with the Unreal engine for single player, and another creating the multiplayer experience in Frostbite, the same engine used by Bad Company 2. That indecision seems to have carried across all faces of development; IGN gave Medal of Honor a 6.5 and make the comment that "Medal of Honor's real problem may be Danger Close's inability to commit to a particular direction for the game."

      Well just like always, the reviews have been coming in and the players responses are being looked at, in all it is better than expected. Higher than first expected sales although this is possibly due to the Battlefield beta access.
      Anyway I am about 4hrs into the single and have completed about 4hrs online.
      Now not been anything unique it is however fun. I think its biggest problem is the fact that it is treading over ground already covered. The game doesn't have anything that makes it breakthrough or a standout, and that will be its biggest problem. It is fun killing Taliban. By the way two patches have already been released, only one though.
      Either way be your own judge it is entertaining me for the moment

      Even EA are now admitting that the game sucks...

      “I’m not going to comment on the sales because EA has an earnings report going out next week and we will unveil sales in that meeting”, EA Games’ Patrick Soderlund told Eurogamer. “What I can say is the game didn’t meet our quality expectations. In order to be successful in that space, we’re going to have to have a game that is really, really strong.”

  • CS:GO gets a substantial content update
    by rec
    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was just updated again, making a number of changes and additions to the game. The default map has been switched from Inferno to Train, which appears to be a far better recreation than Inferno, apart from the fog issue. There are also a bunch of new weapons: the Para, the TEC-9 Pistol, the SG 552 (pictured), and the AUG....

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta impressions
    by rec
    I've been shooting some face in the CS:GO beta for the first time this evening, and there's quite a bit to talk about. I should preface this impressions article with the note that while I used to play at a national level, it has been years since I've delved into any CS in any serious capacity. I'm sure there will be a number of current day elitists out there who disagree with my opinions, but I'm not claiming this as gospel, so append as much or as little weight to these opinions as you care to....

    Who here is looking forward to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive?
