Medal Of Duty Model Honor
polycounter lvl 18
Sorry, I mean, erm, Afghan... Or whatever it was called? Anyway! TRAILER!

And after that terrible way to start a thread, I have to say... SHIIIIIIIIT! Looks damn good! Isn't this being done on the BF:BC2 engine by Dice as well...? So far it looks a lot more Dead Space than Dante's Inferno, in that they took the idea of one game and made it their own, but better. MW2 isn't all its cracked up to be, IMO, but thats just me.
Anyway, this trailers pumping out some serious ingame detail.

I thought the character models and textures looked pretty "meh" at best, they're not bad but I don't think they're as detailed or crisp as the MW2 characters. The textures especially are very bland and almost blurry. Same with the vehicle textures that were shown.
The environments look decent, but really nothing to write home about IMHO. It looks very generic to me, I think MW2 already did this style better, that's where the bar is for this type of game and it doesn't appear to have been raised here.
Clearly you haven't played BF:BC2 beta yet then either? Ingame, the detail just cant be matched, but most importantly is the ambience they created. The game SOUNDS perfect, much, much better than both COD4 and MW2.
But it's boring as watching paint dry, having to get a vehicle and ride 20-30seconds 'just' to get back into the fight is tedious at best and game killing at worst for me. The inclusion of vehicles in a fps just kills the game for me as well. Anyone who has played any sort of Battlefield can attest to the tank campers, vehicle stealer's, people who run you over (on your own team) just for shits and giggles just makes bf:bc2 game a poor imitation.
As for MoH, it looks 'ok' I will hold off judgement when I am not looking at canned moments in the game and look at proper gameplay. But it does look like they have said "oh wow look at the millions sold on CoD : Modern warfare we need to do this asap!".
Personally i think that not instantly getting back to fight is a good thing as it keeps you on your toes and makes it alot more exciting. I think that CoD MW2 is alot more fun without respawns.
Edit to get on topic:
Trailer looks good but i agree that the characters look alot less realistic then in MW2, the lighting looks much better imo!
They're using UE3 with Beast btw.
Graphics are far superior to MW2 in my opinion. Also yay for vehicles, that's where Killzone falls on its ass. I'll be watching out for this now.
