Alot of interesting things. You'll be able to go into every possible building you parachute into every mission and you decide where you land you can even get snagged up in a tree or something and if you forget to pull the parachute on time you can break through certain roofs etc. Next gen indeed ;)

Great Peter Moore interview. He seems like a cool guy.

Wrong link? ;)

nvm I see it now

The one directly to the right of the peter moore interview Game Head : MOH Airborne and yea that peter moore interview owned.

2006-03-06 09:28:31

Both really great interviews. MOH sounds awesome.

Thanks for the link.

Cannot believe I am saying this... but MOH is sounding good. Some may remember one of my big beefs is not being able to enter EVERY building. Seems they solved that... AND you can kind of approach the mission however you want. This should make a TON of replay... could also make some killer MP / Co-op.

Take note how he says that they are currently not leveraging the specific advantages of either platform but they are focusing on gameplay. This is typical of cross platform games, as as budgets grow, dev teams increase, development schedules become even tougher, I think we will see this becomes the norm.

If they can pull off that whole "crashing through roofs if you don't land quite right" thing on multiplayer, and have maps that dynamic in an online setting, they could have a hit on their hands.

Yes I was assuming Medal of Honor was in some MAJOR trouble against brothers in arms *admittedly me thinking like that was a bit premature and was mostly due to graphics which shouldn't at all be the deciding factor on which game is the best and it rarely is*



Even although I love the thought of them showing off the velocity of certain explosions for bia 3 which would probably be similar to what we saw in that killing day video, but on a larger scale.

Nonetheless this game is sounding pretty damn impressive as you guys naturally agree and just think of the types of battles that can take place in single player or online with such freedom and control over where you land and not to mention they are talking about including alot of vehicles which will introduce yet some other interesting gameplay possibilities into the mix.

I wonder if you'll also be able to smash a car into the front door of certain buildings or crash a plain into the roof of other things. Maybe they'll seperate the ground and air combat so they aren't forced to consider such things, but then again that would just make things alot more crazy if its all pulled off. Hell.. its airborne shouldn't you naturally have to live with the danger of a plane to just come crashing into a building your in while you are doing some ground troop work?

No blood shown and yet it looked extremely violent? Just how dramatic was that death :)

There's something dissapointing about this, and all EA war games..they recently said on GameHead (SpikeTV's gaming show) that they were intentionally "toning down the violence" in this title--what does that mean? It means no gore..*no* blood..and no friendly fire in single player...and why? So their product can be rated TEEN.

Now ripping the violence out of the game doesn't make it a bad game--BF2 is also rated teen, and also has magical ragdolls that stay completely intact and blood free when they die..and that's one of my favorite games ever..but blood would imo add to the experience--and even serves a functional purpose--at long range it makes it potentially easier to tell a close hit from a miss with a little spatter.

Well, I'm done ranting on the subject..I basically just wanted to say f#ck you EA, war is not rated teen..I'm still interested..but I love how when I was a kid games were gorey as all hell and no one gave a damn..and now I'm an adult and they're taking the violence away from me :(

It seems like blood and gore are ok from an industry standpoint as long as it's Science Fiction or Fantasy..but if it's somewhat realistic, hell no!

It's a problem with the ESRB really--there's no real good reason why Halo 2 should be rated M--but BF2 is Teen..BF2 is about shooting realistic people with realistic guns--if anything it should be the more restricted of the two. (but should have blood :P)

They are going for the largest possible profit of course, and are going to target the casual under 16 gamer, just like with frontline and rising sun. It does sound very good from the interview, but if you want realism, gore and the odd severed limb, then stick with BIA. IMO it will get an 18 (M) rating just like all war games should get.
