Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault - Singleplayer Demo

tEckniks · Sep 8, 2004, 08:04 AM

the demo is awesome .. my comp is kinda dyin but its still playable.. unlike doom3

anyways i did find a little glitch in the game.

i was on the floor dying w/ a medic healin me and about 5 japs just stabbin at us

.. and when the screen turns blank your usually dead, but this time it seemed like i was healed right before the screen turned black.

so i was alive but couldnt see anything at all..still had the HUD and could move and shoot, i could still hear the japs slashin .. pretty funny

this games fun

I agree- I thought the whole "MOH w/ good AI" thing was going to be cool-

But then in the first movie the guy started talking about this "Banzai charge" and I knew something was up. It was just a cop-out, a way to throw the "AI" out the window.

Ever since the the first MOHAA PC game, I though the MOH series have gone downhill. I like the idea, but the controls and in-game lag ruin the experience for me. All the problems just got worse and you can see it in the demo.

When COD came out, those guys showed me who knew how to make a good FPS WWII game and who doesn't... The MOH team doesn't, and the COD team does!. I'll wait for the next COD game..

I wish the guys who make the MOH games would listen to people when they complain about the lag and control issues, they could be top notch games with a little tweaking. Oh well.

lol seriously guys its an incomplete level to show the new engine nothing more. I agree the AI sucks like most FPS games but lets wait until the final game hits the shelves before condemning it as worthless - I remember playing the farcry demo and thinking it was awful, clipping, sound problems, floating scenery! but the end product was great!. The "lag" whether you like it or not is meant to be there as its intentional, they feel it is meant to add to the whole idea of a guy "moving". Not sure I agree with the idea but ive heard from someone inside that they feel a guy moving 360 degrees instantly is a bit far fetched. Im more in the mind that there is far too much anaylsis right now of games and hopefully one of them might "play" well, flaws and all.

I just want a nice playable game, after the arse doom 3 im hoping either this or the new addon for COD play well.

Or halflife 2 I hope Zardon! I find the demo was good... But unrealistc true with the charging... lol

Zardon · Sep 8, 2004, 06:56 PM

Yeah how could I forget Half life 2, lets hope it makes it out in 2004.

Sandok · Sep 8, 2004, 09:54 PM

If they don't want a mass riot outside Gabe's house, they had better

Let's just hope it makes it period.

Nacht · Sep 9, 2004, 12:04 AM

well i guess thats the difference between us then. i thought doom 3 was very very good.

and of course im going to judge this game based on its demo! im not gonna drop 40-50 bucks on a game just to see if it improved over its crappy demo haha. this may be the only look i ever get at it.

BWX · Sep 9, 2004, 12:42 AM

I agree, I won't buy the game if they want me to judge it on this demo either. Maybe after the games comes out they should make an updated demo that more represents the final product? Maybe then people can make a more informed judgment about the game.... I still am wondering why AA didn't work for me..

Well if they put that lag in there on purpose I really think they need to start looking for other jobs, they won't make it in the game making business long, it makes the game completely annoying to play-

That's my only real complaint, but it totally wrecks the experience, that and the control scheme that is not customizable enough.

Example: after you press the "duck/kneel key, you cannot press it again to stand back up, and they are "toggle only" buttons... That's the kind of thing that ruins a game. Why they think they can re-write the book on how FPS games are controlled are beyond me. The quote: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind-

But whatever, we'll have to wait and see I guess, hopefully they don't wreck a good game with a few mistakes that are unchangeable even with console commands.

Nacht · Sep 9, 2004, 03:58 AM

the lag didnt bother me really that much...but playing it...it felt just like everything else. it feels like the same games ive played through many times...i just like to see new stuff. granted, i never have had japs run at me with knives and bayonets...but i dont think that's supposed to happen ahaha.

tEckniks · Sep 9, 2004, 10:24 AM

they should of made the a little more realistic.. the samurai swords usually can cut right thru a gun into the skull if a soldier held his gun up to block it ..

o well.. yea i dont like the laggy feelin of the game either.. takes an hr to switch guns while ur gettin sliced up by 3 japs

You watch to much TV or something, That is not possible- well, maybe in cartoons or the movies- If you want reality, swords slicing through hardened steel gun barrels is not it.

Nacht · Sep 9, 2004, 06:19 PM

haha...yea i doubt that any of that would be happening in real life..

not that this game is "realistic" by any stretch anyways...

tEckniks · Sep 10, 2004, 01:29 AM

lol you guys caught on ..
