I just bought this game today, and what can I say but Wow!. Very impressive. I like it as much, kinda more, then RTCW. (Return To Castle Wolfenstien)

Its a WWII based FPS with a lot of authentic action. The graphics are ID Quake III game engine graphics, and you can really tell it.

If your looking for a good FPS game, WWII based, pick this one up. I think you'll like it.

I bought it and returned it already. I loved the graphics, the missions and the atmosphere. But what I could NOT stand was the 'damage model'. The enemy troops routinely take up to 3-4 hits from a Garand to kill....And THAT is just damned silly.

At long ranges, I can handle it as it can simulate misses and near misses etc, but my final straw with the game was as follows:

I am not one to save and restart often cuz I like a tense game where being killed means I screwed up and have to restart. I entered the mission (on Hard, and on Medium...it only really seems to affect the amount of damage the PLAYER can take) and picked off lots of nasty-Nazis. In the process, I died a number of times and restarted etc. Well, my final time, I was down to my Last handful of hit points and I run around the corner and flat into a German...I shoot him with the Garand, see the 'hit' animation, he turns towards me....I shoot him again, and again, I see the 'hit' animation...my gun clicks empty...uh-oh...I am shot and killed....by a guy that I just shot TWICE in the torso at under 2 meters by a M1 Garand....

Umm...no thanx. For all of the glorified battlefields and scenery etc, its just a disguised Doom IMO. If they ever release a 'realism mod' (and I'm sure someone will...), I'll prolly pick it back up again. Until then, it will remain safely off my hard drive where I will not be tempted to send my PC rocketing out the 3rd floor window from Nazis who should be dead shooting me!

You should play tribes 2. You can shoot a heavy 10 x, and he will still kill ya.

Getting shot by a 3006 M1Grand twice in the torso is enought to disinvoul a person. I will keep playing it until it pisses me off, and then do as you did, stop playing.

Really, Tribes2 is a lot of fun.

I second that!

(about Tribes 2, that is)

The thing that turned me off instantly from considering the purchase of MoH was the gore level; the fact that there isn't one!

Sorry, but not even blood in a WWII game is just not appealing to me. I need gibs in my FPS games!!

Two things forced me to return it -> (1) spawning enemies, and (2) the fact that dropped items disappeared after x seconds. I mean come on, if I have just killed 10 enemies at sniper long range, one of the few rewards is to be able to collect ammo once I get there a few seconds later. I should not be forced to break cover to retrieve ammo before it "magically" disappears. In understand the theory behind making the bodies disappear due to graphics clutter, but guns cannnot add that much memory usage.

Well now that I have played this game for a couple of days, I have come to the sincere conclusion that the game is a half assed effort.

The game is bugged riddled, and has near inpossible areas to beat. I have unistalled the game, and returned it. I was honestly impressed with it at first, but now, now I wish I would not have bought it. Man MP is a joke in this game. That was what really ticked me off. MP is cheat infested worse than Half-Life CS. No thanks. I'll stick with tribes and Tribes 2.
