I havn't played any of the Medal Of Honor games since the the third one that came out. I got into the Call Of Duty series simply because of the fact that during the game play, you could not only fire from the hip, but you could stop and use the weapon's iron sights and shoot accurately. You can also take and use weapons from killed friendly and enemy personel. In the last MOH game I bought, you could only shoot from the hip, and I ran out of ammo because I couldn't get weapons off dead enemy soldiers. Is this still the same, or have the MOH series evolved?

If the game is as good as the intro on the ea website, it should be worth getting.

Play the demo.

This is so much better than pacific assault its almost unreal.

I don't think it's quite up to COD 2 standards, but it's not far off... The cover system took me a bit to get used to though, very odd.

I thought you would ask that Cry

GeForce 7300SE

I kow, I know, I know. It is 512MB, 256MB and 256MB worth of RAM theft. I just thought that being Duel Core would make up a little of the difference. FSX works OK with it.

Just played it was not that impressed Tongue

Graphics are still a bit dated, no havok engine, added blur effect when you run to make it look kinda real I suppose. Remember max payne when you blasted a tile wall etc, why dont they do this in medal games, when I fire my machine gun I want to see some serious damage. I hate to say it but it's just another linear console game I'm afraid.
