changes i have noticed so far in frontline

- they've upgraded some textures (buildings and ground look good from far away, still look like crap close up, the clothing on the character models looks better)

- it's not true widescreen, looks a bit stretched on the sides, like a panorama mode on an hdtv

- soundtrack isn't in 5.1

- iron sights inclusion is okay, but moves around a lot

Greg Goodrich, the Executive Producer on Medal of Honor, has provided answers to community questions regarding the Medal of Honor trailer.

Q: Is that all gameplay footage throughout the trailer?
A: Yep, the trailer is 100% in-game footage.

Q: Where is the “bearded guy” that is on the box cover? I don’t believe I saw him in the trailer.
A: You are correct. The character on our box cover was not featured in our first trailer. But I can confirm that he is indeed a character in our game and will be revealed (along with his highly skilled and very specialized Tier 1 unit) in the near future.

Q: What exactly is a Tier 1 Operator? And what do they do?
A: Tier 1 is a category. It is not a unit designation or a name given to a specific task force. It is a term that is used to describe the level at which these operators perform and function. It also refers to their place within the national command structure. The term “Tier 1” can also be used to describe a specific unit’s ability to carry out missions that require the most highly skilled, proficient and disciplined group of warriors within the U.S. Special Operations Community. There are only a handful of units within the U.S. Government that are considered Tier 1. We have been given the rare opportunity to work closely with members of these units during the development of Medal of Honor.

Q: There was an ATV and a helicopter scene in the trailer. Can we expect to see some vehicular gameplay?
A: That is the plan. At minimum, you can expect the ones that you saw in the trailer ;-)

Q: The ending scene with the guy with a bomb attached to him gave me chills. Can we expect this darker feel/tone throughout the game?
A: This will be the very first (M) rated Medal of Honor. However, we will always be grounded by our core tenets of authenticity and respect for the soldier.

Q: There are some doors that get kicked in during the trailer. Can we expect breach and clear gameplay?
A: The player can do many cool things in the game, and kicking in doors is certainly one of them!

Q: Are you keeping the PC community in mind for this game? Please don’t do just a simple port!
A: We take the PC version of our game as seriously as we do any other version.

Q: How much of the game is based on real life, true events in Afghanistan?
A: Medal of Honor is “historical fiction” set against the backdrop of the current war in Afghanistan. Much like “Saving Private Ryan” is a fictional story told through the lens of a small band of characters during WWII.

Only noteworthy part is:

haha, i just realized that if it's true the single player of the new game is really 4 hrs, then the 8 year old bonus game you get is double that length

it's not really remastered, but i guess Medal of Honor: Frontline "Cleaned-Up" wouldn't be much of a selling title

i'd forgotten what a great game it is, that soundtrack is just awesome

will try the new game's SP later this evening and post impressions

I'm off today so I decided to download it and give it a play on the PC. It's not bad so far but its really easy. I'm playing on hard and its not as hard as COD is on Hardened imo so forgot about Veteran (although I'm not much of a fan of Veteran in COD).

But I'm still early so maybe it gets tougher as you go. I'll give some more impressions this evening of the single player as I have to take off for a bit.

Sadly, Medal of Honor is pretty much just military porn, straight-up fantasy fulfillment for anyone who would like to imagine themselves among people who shout things like “Tango down!”

Hit a mission where the scripting broke and I had to reload to the last checkpoint because the next thing that was supposed to happen didn't.

It's okay. I mean its like a less well scripted and less challenging COD clone on the SP side which is about what I expected. It's certainly playable and even enjoyable in spots but its nothing where I'm ever thinking this is really cool. Unfortunately the real world setting actually hinders it a bit. Because the scenery and variety isn't very good. COD can just do whatever they want and make a cool set piece but this is grounded just enough in reality where its not a great thing for gameplay purposes. This feels very same-y from mission to mission.

I do like the lean feature. It's pretty nice and the one interesting and useful thing they do in the game that stands out. And for some reason DICE took it out of the MP side.

The Giant Bomb review made it sound like 30FPS most of the time with bad tearing & framerate issues in spots.

I'm not surprised. Trying to get UE3 to run at 60hz on a console is like pulling teeth. The Mortal Kombat vs DC guys barely managed to pull it off and that was a damn fighting game with 2 characters and a mostly static background

Game looks up to standards on the PC but unfortunately plays like COD Vanilla.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #205 on:** October 12, 2010, 10:35:12 PM »

nvm. I figured it out.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #206 on:** October 13, 2010, 02:46:11 PM »

Finished it. Yeah its about 3 to 4 hours. But honestly that's enough. Anymore and I would have started to burn out. My impressions are roughly the same. It's actually a little better than I expected. The tone is good. But the scripting is poor. It's often either confusing or buggy. Sometimes its not clear what is supposed to happen as in could I have prevented that action or was it always supposed to happen. Just feels a little rushed overall.

The basic gunplay is good though. There is nothing inventive or extra unique that you haven't seen in a COD game here but its okay. They try to vary it up a lot to break things up. It's very easy. Definitely easier than Hardened in a COD game. You have tons of ammo and you can always just get extra from your AI teammate. Most of my deaths occurred when I wasn't sure exactly what I was supposed to be doing in a few cases.

I read that a bunch of the guns in the SP had multiple models? Accurate?

Also, I don't get why MP doesn't have prone or that sweet slide move. I also think that instead of knifing dudes, it should be a boot to the face.

Not sure what you mean by multiple models but honestly it doesn't matter. You never need to pick up guns or switch weapons around unless they automatically make you do it by switching to the sniper on some levels or the laser designator thing. You literally can use one gun for the entire game. I only switched around just to try them out and then I would just switch back to the default weapon with unlimited ammo. Never because I actually needed to. It's one of those things again where going for some sort of "realism" or "authenticity" actually makes the game less fun than it could be. The fun of these sort of games is being put in certain situations where you have to switch things up but that never happen in this game. And yeah I agree. Removing the lean and the sliding thing from the MP side is a weird choice because both of those things are actually unique. It's an average game both on the single player and MP side. It's perfectly serviceable on both sides. It's just nothing special on either side.

Like, the AK-47 had different models (same gun, slightly different lookin').

See that's what I mean. Maybe.

But literally it doesn't matter. Because the default gun you have is just as good as that. And it has a silencer on it on some levels which you need. And once again you have unlimited ammo. So its never ever like oh I need to pick up their weapons because I'm running low on ammo. I never even bothered picking up an AK until the mission where you lose your stuff and then you have to pick up one. And surprise surprise. 2 minutes later you get your default gun back. It's like the guns don't matter because they are trying to simulate that a military person would always use their issued equipment or something. The only weapon I ever picked up was the occasional sniper rifle because sometimes they give you an LMG which sucks and isn't very useful.

Here's how to win at multiplayer:

1. Find enemy base.

3. Shoot gun.
4. Win.
