MOH Warfighter

[PaulyP]

Delete told us about a game while in one of his drunken stupors and couldn't remember the name of it... I suspect it was this MOH Warfighter game.

I've not looked into it much but here's a teaser video (It's out 2 weeks before BlackOps2 and being made with the BF3 Frostbite engine):

why am I not supprised.
Probably going to get this and black ops.

[Confusion]

Never played moh online but im not a big fan of the single players

[PaulyP]

Im not a fan of single player at all but I think the multiplayer should be worth looking at as it's using the BF3 engine and a couple of ex-dice employees... you never know - this could just turn out to be a surprise. We just have to hope for dedi servers and no client detection and no random bullet spread.

[Confusion]

well im grumpy but you never know with some it might be a

[PaulyP]

I didn't take your statement as grumpy... just a matter of fact. I've never played the MOH series either, though I don't think I would have liked the older versions. I wouldn't have looked at this either if it wasn't for using the BF3 engine - which I quite like - (except for client detect and bullet spread) - and maybe that could make the difference and make it a challenger.... who knows.

I'm sure it will be completely different to BF3 and BO2 so it's just something to keep an eye on. Though saying that, as we are 6 months a way from release, I'll be forgetting it for now

I have tried the last moh multiplayer and i didnt like it - too easy, funny movement

kinda wierd multilayer video, no hud or names our anything. looks interesting though, shame about the music.

New mp video of MOH warfighter

[PaulyP]

humm kinda interesting video, dont like the look of highlighting the enemy in red but maybe that will be configureable. Looks like a bit of a cross between BF and MW... who knows what it will turn out like.

[Black]

Ya that seemed strange for me aswell, could be its a "console" feature don't know, not to much know yet.

[TIEKE]

cod on frostbite2 engine... if they go client side hit detection im going cod even tho this looks better

[Black]

Think this will answer some of your questions pauly

[PaulyP]

Did I hear right, 20 players MAX?

Game modes:

Combat Mission
TDM
Sector Control

Looks like squad size is 2 people... and your buddy is always surrounded by a green glow.
The person who kills your buddy then get highlighted in red. Killing him makes your buddy instantly respawn on you.

So - I guess this must be small maps for so few players. It's not a big team game not having squads so it's not going to be like BF3. From that video it looks more like the Call of Duty games - lots of granades and explosions with a twist of having a buddy by your side.

Initially I was thinking this sounds crap comparing it to BF3 but then I thought... when if you compare to MW and BLackOps.... could be interesting then - although with just 3 game types I'm already feeling bored

Will wait for more videos

[Black]

Got some mixed feelings about this aswell, we'll see what it brings untill some more info is released

some more news from MOH Warfighter.

"We invite you to check out Danger Close Studio’s Medal of Honor Warfighter, which is also powered by the Frostbite 2 engine and the free social network, Battlelog. Don’t forget that pre-ordering Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition (at no extra cost) guarantees access to the exclusive Battlefield 4 Beta."

Seems like it will be using battlelog aswell, somewhere i'm not hyped for this, but in some way I do like it.
Battlelog was handy in some ways, but does has his flaws, annyway what I like most of this is that 'if' we play this game, we won't have to register to annother site, create your char, clan, find your friends, etc...

[PaulyP]

yeah, i dont mind battlelog too much - so thats not really a bad thing.

[PaulyP]

Well only 5 weeks to go to release so I thought I'd look and see if there's any new videos to watch...

Found one new one. Quite liked what I saw here... looked good fun I thought. Reeaaally small map but the team work and buddy system looked good. Provided there are a lot of maps and a lot of game types it could be a good game.



I 95% likely, wont be buying another BF game - not with that premium **** now but I might pre-order this Warfighter game to get access to the BF4 beta... Atleast then I can have a few weeks on it to confirm I don't want it

[Confusion]

abit darkish but if you can blow up stuff it might be good for me

[PaulyP]

It's called night-time confusion... don't you have it over there

PS - I noticed you can play as the swedish special forces if you want to play with a handicap

[Black]

You know he's only going to play with those and is going to brag about how good they are

[PaulyP]

Just another teaser... but I do like the look of this game. Video doesn't show much but the bits it does show look good.

[PaulyP]

Houston, we have a problem!

... maybe.

I found this on some preview site:

"As for the Multiplayer, Warfighter offers five game modes: Sector Control (domination), TDM, Real Ops (hardcore-esque), Hotspot (defend and/or attack), and Combat Mission (Rush like setting the Coalition vs the Taliban)."

This would suggest that there is only one game mode "Real Ops" that is hardcore. Does that mean that we can not play Sector Control, TDM, Hotspot and Combat Mission in a hardcore mode?

The above is what I posted on EA's forum to try to find out the answer. No one really knows for sure. Some people think Real Ops is the only hardcore game... some say there are 2 modes (normal and hardcore) for every game type...

Will try to let you know if I get a definite answer.

[PaulyP]

This one is for you confusion... shotties (pretty powerful by the look of it)

No mention of Hardcore, but from what someone said on a forum - "Immersive" mode will remove the red and green glows. Whether it makes the rest of the game more hardcore who knows.


Only 8 maps but apparently game modes use the maps differently or different parts of them?


Funny thing is... I look at that screenshot and it makes me shudder... can't help make me think of BF3 - even if its a completely different game.

[Black]

same engine eventually, so somehow that is normall m8

[TIEKE]

they using battlelog. wichs is a good thing cause u are allready used to it.

[PaulyP]

So how is it Black?

[Black]

sry for the late respond.
I'm liking the game, its something between BF and COD.
You got the faster, smaller map gameplay of COD.
But there is more depth in the maps.
Weapons are also somewhere between, and to be honoust they feel pretty good.

There is hardcore, altho you die pretty easy in softcore aswell.
Lets put it like this, I managed to kill 3 guys with 1 clip (30 rounds) in softcore.
I can't even pull this of in hardcore in bf3 .

Also no medics and stuff in this game, but you are in a fireteam of 2. You can heal your buddy, and he can do the same to you.
Same for ammo.
