(Or at least the first one.) Yet there isn't one issue in the beta that can't be fixed, nor is there any question about the game's fundamentals, which are tried, tested and extremely popular.Īs its being made by the company behind Battlefield, Medal of Honor has a pedigree that makes tills ring around the globe, but in a world where time is limited and a gamer's attention is held by the likes of the Call of Duty franchise and Bad Company 2, it's going to take more than a good reputation to dislodge the behemoths of the military FPS genre. It's very easy to fall into the trap of thinking what you've got is finished code, especially when things go wrong.Īt the time of writing Medal of Honor is due out in just under four months' time, and there's a lot of work to do to make this worthy of the franchise's name.
We might even be allowed to drive a Russian T-34 tank into the burning Reichstag. Heavy street fighting is promised, although if realism is adhered to you can expect to be up against dogs strapped with explosives and 14-year-old boys hastily conscnpted into the Hitler Youth.
Things won't get any easier when you join up with the Soviets either, as they begin their final advance on Berlin.
Up against crack SS Stormtroopers and the new King Tiger tanks, the US forces would have been completely routed if it weren't for the weather and the Germans' lack of fuel. This is a game that absolutely everyone should own.Īs some of you will know, the night before was almost as disastrous for the US Army as the day after, and if the developers manage to convey the confusion and carnage only half as successfully as they did for MOH's Omaha Beach level we should be in for a treat.Īfter that it's off to a seemingly cushy posting in Belgium, where without warning Germany launched aĭesperate counter-attack through the Ardennes Forest in what has become known as the Battle Of The Bulge. If you think of yourself as a gamer and you don’t already have a copy of Medal Of Honor then you’ve been giving yourself airs way above your station. Even so, Medal Of Honor is, unlike most other shooters, every bit as good in multiplayer as it is playing by yourself. One thing that could have worked well is Capture The Flag, and it’s a shame that it’s missing since its inclusion would have made MOH complete. The round-based match is basically a team deathmatch game, but with each team having to reach a kill target before the opposition. Team match is, quite obviously, the same game but with two teams (Axis and Allies) and objective mode is similar to that of the bomb maps of Counter-Strike. Free-for-all is a traditional, every-man-for-himself game and plays brilliantly on the smaller maps even if there is an overemphasis on sniping. These are all types of game we have seen before. There are four game types to play: free-for-all, team match, round-based match and objective-based match. Lag is minimal even with a high ping rate, which makes for a fluid and exciting game. One thing I hadn’t expected, however, was the quality of the multiplayer game.įor a start, there are plenty of servers to choose from either via the game’s in-built server browser or through GameSpy Arcade. I was stunned when I first saw the game at E3 last May, and needless to say, when I played the single-player game I was suitably pleased that my expectations were justified.

The Governor may annually issue a proclamation designating March 25 as Medal of Honor Day and calling upon public officials, schools, private organizations, and all residents of the state to commemorate Medal of Honor Day and honor recipients of the Congressional Medal of Honor who distinguished themselves through their conspicuous bravery and gallantry during wartime, and at considerable risk to their own lives, while serving as members of the United States Armed Forces.
