from the horses mouth

Hey Peeps,

I've read the reviews and now I want to here it from gamers like me, I've preordered MOH:aa is it as good as everyone says?
I've been stuck with rtcw and tbh I'm getting a little bored now...... please tell me it is the god of the fps...!

the prawn:blackeye:

Being from the UK means I haven't played the full game yet and because VilePlanet were crap I couldn't get the single player demo downloaded. Guess I will find out on Friday when I pick up a copy on my way back to the UK from Italy

that's a loooooooong way to go for a game, lol


the prawn

Lol :haha:
Guess it does read like I am off to Italy to get the game.
Unfortunately this isnt the case as I have been in Italy for 3 weeks for work

here's hoping...........

Well, here's hoping those wonderful people at amazon can get it to me asap, I can't wait to get my hands on it, it looks like the doggy's danglies..........

BTW anybody had difficulty installing Thief 2 on win xp? I'm going through my old games and I've already been gutted by losing Project IGI, please not thief 2 too, noooooooooooo!

OK Over reacted but it's a cool game!

The Empire will compensate you if he dies.... Put him in!

I've got the demo from kazaA and played it... It was cool but not as much as the hype has made out.

yeah, i agree with you phantasm, it had good graphics, and fairly good sound, but it didn't seem to original. It had all been done before, and while you had like 4 teammates, they didn't seem to do much

I think MoHAA pales in comparison to RtCW. The graphics...Gahh...

RTCW for ol play, MOH:AA fpr the sp experience

Yeah but what's the single player of MOH:AA like? the mp for RTCW is way cool, and if the demo for mp moh is anything to go by it's safe, but people are saying the sp for MOH is a halflife-beater, dear god I hope so, having to refer to a game that's over 3 years old as the best the pc has to offer for a sp fps is a bit sad.........

This was touched a bit in the Old Forum. However straight from the horses mouth excludes this subject from search feature. MoH/AA might have been a better topic.

single player is great. the missions are very creative. even better than HL, IMO.
the beach mission and the "sniper's last stand" mission is simply my favorite.
in "sniper's last stand", you get to walk through a destroyed town filled with snipers. and once you walk in the open, BANG, you're shot from nowhere. i usually had to die 3-4 times before i could figure out where the sniper is (and i'm playing in easy mode!). great fun.
and these 2 scenes do remind me of the scenes from Enemy At the Gates.
and in some missions, you get to drive tanks, use a binocular to lock the target and send a radio call for artillery. and in the last mission where you have to destroy a whole fort by planting bombs in the underground level where it is filled with gas, you have to put on a gas mask. and that really really reduces your sight.
another mission which i really like the idea is where you have to go under cover, hoister your weapons and get a nazi uniform. and you have to show your (stolen) id when requested.
the reason i said "idea" cause it's the idea that's good. the game didn't really make much use of it. i could just blow my cover and turn into rambo anytime.
the graphics, dunno. running a KYROII so i can't tweak everything to the max. so the graphics is just so so. didn't really impress me like when UT did.
but i thought it promised realistic trees! like in the nvidia tree demo (the one with fireflies)!!! bah!
ghost recon has better sound and out door graphics, IMO.
but if you're looking forward to a good and creative single player, then i say your order's worth every cent...

Re: School really really SUCKS!!

not to worry, pal. i'll be having my physics test this saturday too. and i'm getting this feeling that it's gonna be like yours...

that's exactly what i'm gonna do... not MOHAA, but CM (after i got my rig to successfully dual boot 2K & ME... )

The game is very, very good and in my opinion, better than Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I do not, however, think it is anywhere near the play of Half-Life's seamless game play. Graphically it is much better than HL, and on par with RtCW.

thief problem

Thanks for that Mic.......

Finally got it to run, now if I can get my wife to leave me alone long enough on feb 14th I may even get to play it!!!!!lol

Thanks guys.

Re: thief problem

What? And you are not taking her out for a nice meal, buying her flowers and then spending the night drinking wine and talking to her??

That's what I would do if I had a nice wife of my own.

Unfortunately, Mr. Phantazmm currently married to Ms Computer, Ms Beer and Ms Crap Job. I want a divorce!

You are lucky to be married to a nice person. Turn the computer off and go spend time with her.

Thanks Phantasm, i know I'm a lucky bloke, Lovely wife, ( I'll post a picture sometime), nice house and a great rig to play games on, Life is sweeeeet, especially after the valentines gift that earned me mucho brownie points.

Just a shame that everytime I settle down for a game for 15 minutes, I'm asked to hang out the washing!!! (lol)

The perils of marriage eh?!?

Don't worry about the divorce though it'll come soon.......lol

luck
