Here’s my main complaint of this game:
Why give me a sniper rifle if enemies endlessly spawn until I get close to their position? I mean wtf? I’m sitting on a rooftop with my trusty Springfield rifle, picking off enemies one by one, but it’s useless because I run out of ammo and there are still just as many enemies as when I started! Argh!! What a complete waste.
Pros:
+ Good maps
+ Sniper mode trigger pressure meter is pretty cool
+ Weapons use/firing is overall good (except grenades)
+ Controls are overall good
+ Sound effects
+ In-game dialogue is relevant and interesting
+ Earning weapons upgrades by using your weapon effectively
Cons:
- Endlessly spawning enemies
- Difficulty is too steep
- Graphics are PS2
- Sorry but a single direct hit from an M1 Garand would kill anyone…no need for a 2nd shot.
- 4 shots from a Colt .45 to kill an enemy
- Kamikaze enemies who are impervious to bullets
- All enemies are expert marksmen, no matter how far away, even when they’ve only come out from cover a millisecond before
- Allied AI troops are not very helpful
- Grenades are difficult to aim (many games have done this better).
- Grenades cook off way too long
I’ve always liked WWII games, and was excited to play one based on the Airborne soldiers. The concept is great but I think the games full potential wasnt reached. The graphics are more PS2 than PS3, and its annoying how the enemy soldiers are endless until you advance your position in most cases. I like the fact that you can land anywhere and change things up a bit, but aside from that its really just another FPS. Also the AI controling your fellow Airborne soldiers is pretty dumb, they dont utilize cover properly, constantly run into each others line of fire, and are always getting killed off, they mostly just get in the way. I would have liked to see a bit more realism with the firearms, both accuracy and damage. One shot to the chest with an M1 Garand should bring a nazi to the dirt, rather than him taking the hit and not even flinching until you shoot him again. Unfortunately I think most combat shooters are starting to blur together into a predictable, ho-hum experience. Start here, kill those guys, go there, kill those guys too, go a bit farther over there, kill some more guys, blow up a tank or something, hooray you beat the level.
Overall its not terrible, but its also not that great. The developers should have put a little more effort into it and they could have had something really amazing.
Bought this as one in a series of games, husband said it was solid but is now on another series of games for PS3. Still will always be a game he goes back to play.
I have enjoyed all of the predecessors to the MOH version for its originality and effects. This version is more frustrating than enjoyable. I want be long but some of the key disappointments are that despite how seasoned you are as a first person shooter, you will be incredibly inaccurate! You can have clean shots but the game will not accept it as a direct hit. To drop an opponent you can often times go through half a clip especially the android like Nazis toward the end of the game. MOH will provide interesting drops and sometimes you have to go behind the lines to have a chance. You can not command your team and the computer is not quick to let them lead into a fight. You will feel as if there are endless enemies as they will pop up on the radar every turn even if you double back for ammo, weapons exchanges, or health. Finally, no matter the angle you will take a hit before you get a beam on the enemy. You can not crawl only kneel.
It is a challenge for the die-hard gamer but not as enjoyable as its competitor COD.
I had high hopes when I bought this game. WW2 shooters are almost always guaranteed fun, but not this game. When you start the game there is almost no training on the use of the controls. You kind of have to just figure out what buttons do what on your own. Shoot, duck, zoom are totally different buttons from most every other ps3 shooter and takes a lot of getting used to. When you play the missions the enemy respawns an unlimited amount of solders which kills the game for me. It feels like you’re playing against an endless flow of Germans that can never be beat. In a real war you would want to hide where you can’t be shot at and shoot off people one by one. The problem with that is that when you kill someone there is an unlimited amount of people to take his place so you have to always keep moving and pushing forward to gain any ground. The AI is terrible also. The Americans will sit and shoot in one spot forever, there aim sucks and the only way to advance your troops is to go blazing in like Rambo by yourself. Overall this game was a big letdown unrealistic game play, hard to use buttons, and mediocre graphics. Definitely don’t buy, don’t even rent just pick up a different game
