And here I thought I was the only person on this board looking forward to the game, nice work thread my man.

Does it have bloom? I will only buy a game if it has a LOT of bloom. [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] But seriously, it just looks like another COD. Every FPS published by EA is always similar to COD.

As before the sales for this are gonna come due to Battlefield 4 beta access.

I am excited.

[QUOTE=TheSporeGA;37044442] Every FPS published by EA is always similar to COD.[/QUOTE] So CoD invented modern war..? MoH 2010 and this strive to be accurate regarding the tools and tactics used in these scenarios, and unfortunately a lot of the elements they introduce are already well known due to their implementation in the popular CoD series.

New trailer: [video=youtube;6ES3CiugqM4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ES3CiugqM4&feature=g-u-u[/video]

I disagree. MoH 2k10 really wasn't like CoD at all. I liked it :) Also liked the MP, even though it was a huge campfest sometimes :(

But part of the reason they did a good job is because of restraint. COD posseses no restraint and thats why despite all the pretty explosions and over the top bullshit every 5 seconds - you dont care about any of it, because there's so much of it that when shit does happen, it's impact is lessened considerably. It suffers from michael bay syndrome. I can only hope this MOH employs similar restraint and I hope in the future devs will climb out of this ass-trocious pit COD has dug the industry into and realize that dramatic situations can be achieved better with subtlety rather than servicing 12 year olds ADD with pretty lights and big explosions every 2 seconds.
