Overall I really liked this game. It was fun to play most of the time despite its flaws and I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it. I wish somebody could do a remake of this with modern graphics and improved AI. Oh, and by the way: the drill sergeant's speech during Boot Camp was badass!

The flying section was so much easier in 3rd person mode, and a lot more fun after toggling it.
@kennet7837
@kennet7837 7 лет назад
I really loved the soundtrack for this game as well as in Allied Assault, so I have to disagree with your "generic" statement. Although it had more of a Hollywood feel to it than in Allied Assault. I guess I like it because I'm generally a music person.

Wing Commander nailed mouse controls for flight in 1990: you move a cursor around the screen and the craft steers towards the cursor. Of course EA could not be bothered and the just mapped rotation and pitch to the mouse axes and called it a day.

DW! You forgot to mention the weird reloading animation of bolt actions on the M1903 Springfield. When the character reloads, the clip goes in along with the rounds instead of being ejected.
@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
Same thing happens with any bolt-action rifle. I've pretty much completely given up on EA LA having any remote idea how guns work.
@Michael2bh

The game is pretty solid. It has problems but the overall fun I've had with it erased all of that. You can change the hold aim mechanic from the menu, it just doesn't stay that way the next time you start the game and you'll need to change it again. Bleeding out mechanic is something you can set off from the menu and the squad commands as well.The plane section is hard the first time you play it but when you play it few more times it get easy. Not to mention it has third person mode for those who are struggling. And talking about gun sounds is just nitpicking in my opinion.

Wait there were Garands in this game might be after that random aircraft mission that comes out of nowhere
@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
That "random aircraft mission that comes out of nowhere" is just before the final mission in the game. The earliest the Garand (or even the M1 Carbine, for that matter) shows up is Guadalcanal, which is halfway through the game.

of course the SBD is sluggish its a dive bomber its not meant to fight zeros the SBD was slower heavier than the zero and at the speeds a SBD flys at the zero turns very well the zero doesnt lock up till the 300mph mark

Interesting review. I disagree regarding your opinion on the game's AI, you probably played on the medium difficulty​, if you play on hard the game is very challenging and the AI feels smarter, players who love challenge and feel like they in a war and every move counts will love this game. The only downside of this game is the outrageously​ long loading times.

@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
Wrong Arisaka rifle.
@commissar5400
@commissar5400 7 лет назад
DWTerminator: I have to disagree with you the type 35 also had this sight since it was mainly designed for the navy but the in game rifle seems like a newer type since it has more wooden parts also it was mainly used as anti air sights but it was also used to help shooting from the prone position but not for shooting at a distance you can adjust the sight for that on almost every rifle
@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
What part of "wrong Arisaka rifle" is hard to understand? Type 38 didn't have the moronic anti-aircraft sights. End of story.
@commissar5400

You're thinking of the Type 99. I know because I *have* read up on this subject. The Type 38 never had AA sights.

Hey dw, loved the MoH reviews. I have one question left concerning this series. With the reviews you made your statement pretty clear, that despite the nostalgia, the majority of this series was pretty mediocre or downright bad even when they came out. As a conclusion to this review series, could you create a video, even if it is a very short one, about your theory why this series was able to produce so many entries, why did it take such a long time for EA to finally put an end to it?
@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
My theory is simple: people buy into hype, not quality.

The PS4 controller is much better and tightly constructed. It's like a smaller version of the Xbox controller. The old ones are crap for FPS games.
@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
I *hate* playing FPS's and TPS's on console. Doesn't matter what system it is. I f---ing *hate* using a gamepad for controlling an FPS or TPS. It's sluggish and imprecise. Anyway, as far as the controller comparison goes... 1. I much prefer offset analog sticks, especially if the right stick is below the buttons. It's just more comfortable. Even the Wii U Pro controller pisses me off with its parallel analog sticks. DualShock pads on the other hand have scrunched-together parallel analog sticks and require you to go up on *both* sides to reach the buttons. It's horrible. 2. PS4 controller's a bit bigger than the Xbox One pad. Not sure where you got the idea that it's "smaller." 3. PS4 controller's triggers aren't as comfortable as X360/XBO pads' triggers. Smooth curves are just much more comfortable than what is little more than extra shoulder buttons you can barely tell apart from the upper shoulder buttons. 4. The touchpad on the PS4 pad is just plain stupid. Even dumber are the games that make you use it. I have a similar problem with the Wii U touchpad (though that is considerably worse). About the only things the PS4 pad has over the previous DualShock pads are that it's not microscopic, it's not just a couple of straight horns jutting out of a curved block, and the triggers aren't just shoulder buttons. That's really not saying much.

One may say even modern time shooters have become dull. Why? Quite simple really. Germans and Japanase have become Russians and Arabs. Modern Warfare back in 2007 was a long needed breath of fresh air. New setting, new enemy. But in all following games you had the same stuff again. Not necessarily bad simply no longer fresh. Going WWII again but staying Allied, particularly Uncle Sam, is something which has been there in all colours. How about telling a compelling, grim and gritty, gory Eastern Front tale from the eyes of a German conscripted in 1941? Or the desperate holdout against an unstoppable Red Army from summer 1944 to VE in '45. Especially the latter one would be very dark in tone. Also it will involve Allied war crimes. Which is mostly new as, we Allies were we good guys, right? ;)

i must say i didn't like the narration here why first of all this is 2017 back then those first person shooter games were in their infancy second your looking from it from a 2017 perspective today's games would blow them out of the water back then i thought these games were fun why because i was a kid it was all new to me of course i wanted more like drive tanks and fly planes today we can but back then we couldn't because those games were coming out in the beginning of the 2000's those new games that were coming out were revolutionary it's like everybody today going back to the cars of the 1920's which were very different and unreliable compared to today's cars which are far more superior don't judge a game from a old game era when first person shooters were just coming out i know compared to today's games they aren't worth nothing but back then we didn't have these new and awesome games we have today all i'm saying is don't judge a old game by the standards we have now because like i said those games were in their infancy and i'm pretty sure they did the best they could to make it a great experience and i'm proud of them they paved the way to better games we have today.
@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 7 лет назад
1. FPS's were not *remotely* in their infancy in 2004. They were well solidified by that point. 2. It was already blown out of the water by its contemporaries. Today's games aren't really any better as games, either. Just prettier to look at and with better audio. 3. A good game is good and a bad game is bad regardless of the year of its release. The tech may change, but the design is what makes it succeed or fail. Games don't have an expiration date. You'd do well to remember that.
@Greg-jq1co
@Greg-jq1co 7 лет назад
yeah but we can't come down very heavy on these guys yes i agree with what you say on these videos but i don't think they were experts on creating the first person shooter games but the one who really got first person shooter games was call of duty. Medal of honor was fun but it was a sinking ship.
@Greg-jq1co
@Greg-jq1co 7 лет назад
And another thing you seem to hate all these games is there any games WW2 first person shooter that you like or you just hate them all. And i'm asking this based on all the negative comments i hear in all the videos.

I'm burned out on WWII because there's an absolutely *excessive* amount of WWII games in existence, and they're almost all painfully generic, and mostly not all that well made.
