Medal of Honor beta ending tomorrow on PS3 and PC, August 9 on 360

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 30th 2010 7:30PM

All good things must come to an end, friends, but -- wait a second, is war really a good thing? We guess not. In that case -- hey, great news! The virtual streets of Kabul are about to become a great deal more peaceful, as the Medal of Honor beta is slated to come to an abrupt stop tomorrow on PS3 and PC, and August 9 on Xbox 360.

We know you're sad, but think about all the good you've done, figuring out all the things that were wrong with the game's online multiplayer component before it came out. Think about all the grief you saved your future self -- and, for that matter, our future self! We owe you a great debt of gratitude. Or rather, we will. In the future.

I like this game.

But I am terribad at the multiplayer.

(all FPS MP, too)

But I will rent this for the single player. I liked the feel of the controls. Hopefully they are similar in the single player.

I saved my wallet a lot of grief too.

@Aguiluz

Yeah, I only tried it once too for about 40 minutes. Hated it and never went back.

Unless the reviews are redeeming for at least the SP, I'm going to pass on this one.

So was it any good? I gave away my code to a friend on PSN. was it just like MW2?

@PR0F3TA The game is a mix of Modern Warfare 2 and Battlefield. Overall I hated the multiplayer might just play single player.

@naesf92
Agreed

@PR0F3TA
I wasn't thrilled with the multiplayer because it's DICE trying to do MW2 but still stuck on Battlefield. Which wouldn't be bad but they parts they crossed were the wrong parts. Like, they're trying to do a faster paced shooter like CoD but it takes a long time to gun someone down like in Battlefield unless you headshot them. And everyone camped. And everyone was the same color as the surrounding which is liek a dull grey-brown. And the American character models looked like they had pouty lips with lipstick.

The worst part of all this is that DICE is basically working with a 1 year development cycle by doing Medal of Honor's multiplayer now. Medal of Honor one year Battlefield the next. I think EA is going to alternate each year the way Call of Duty does but with a different brand so they don't wear the name out as fast. I honestly never liked DICE multiplayer except for Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 anyway, but I assume that this one year development cycle explains why Bad Company 2 is at least decent while Medal of Honor is horrible.

@PR0F3TA

I played BBC2, MW2 and MoH Beta, and its true it does feel like a mix between MW2 and BBC2, but its feels kinda off. Stick with either BBC2 or MW2.

@PR0F3TA

>was it just like MW2?

Implying Call of Duty came before the Metal of Honor series.

Implying Call of Duty had multiplayer and existed before Battlefield

Implying you are a jackass.

@Anticrawl

Stop.

@Anticrawl

i don't understand where you're coming from. he didn't even imply any of that. the latest COD game was MW2, and EVERYONE knows MOH and COD are direct competitors. so it's reasonable to ask if it compares to MW2.

@Anticrawl

i guess everything is taken as fanboyism these days

@Sly C exactly

I just don't know about the game... It doesn't feel right...

this game is bad and dice should feel bad.

Good riddance

i greatly prefer both bad company 2 multiplayer and MW2 multi to this. there was just way too much that felt off about it. like 3 classes... felt strange. then of course, no color or interesting-ness about the environments. and gameplay wasn't as fast-paced as MW2, or as thrilling as BC2.

overall, it just felt way too generic. no need to innovate, but it should at be able to stand out above the rest.

@Sly C
Here, here!

So it takes a month and a half to fix out a slight problem with the Medal of Honor servers? Thanks EA for caring for your Xbox Live users.

@TBag
Thinking the beta sucks doesn't mean we like or support Activision at all, it just means that, you know, MoH's multiplayer is not fun and is incredibly generic.

Also, two developers are making MOH, too. DICE should feel ashamed for having their name on this...thing.

What time is it ending tomorrow?
May take 1 more crack at it, any 1 wit me?

@TBag

What does activision have to do with this?

i am with you........... but it seems that they already put the servers off line already for the ps3.. anyone can confirm

hahaha this is secretly my favorite string of comments ever. So much is said with so few comments.

the only thing that will hold this game up is the single player. the beta was awful.

the beta actually ended today (for PS3, at least), as the content license expired at 1:00pm...so, even if the servers are still up, there is no way to actually start the beta on the PS3.

I thought it was pretty decent. I don't really do much online playing but it felt similar to MW2 but it felt just a little better. I think DICE has better multiplayer...but like I said I don't do much online.

Canceling my reservation asap...very disappointed with the beta.

(And the fact it took forever to come up on 360? :l)

I didn't really like the multiplayer as much as BFBC2 but i'll probably still get it for the realistic settings in afghanistan.

Wasn't the 360 beta supposed to be extended due to the (exactly 1 month) delay before they got it out. PS3 got nearly 6 weeks, and the 360 gets about 2.5 weeks - that's extended? I just got a code thanks to Gamestops inability to do what they promised. Oh well.

Played it for a couple of days...but like everyone said, its too generic. No reason to pick this one up unless sp is really good or multiplayer gets huge overhaul. Can't compared to BBC2 nor MW2. Feels too much like a cheap knockoff of both games. Its poop...for now.

But if you pre-order the limited edition, you get a beta invite to battlefield 3... To bad this game sucks.

Game is fun imo...i stoped fast because of the lack of maps....i will probably buy it to play in other maps :)

@Thrasher666

the thing is, this game is a direct competitor to COD so it actually has to be pretty similar in feel, just better...
