Medal of Honor Beta - Underwhelming

I’ll make this short. I have been beta testing the Medal of Honor [MoH] online multiplayer on PS3 via VIP Code from purchasing BFBC2 and a preorder of MoH which scored me one key.

From the two hour run I had in beta, I can safely say this game is tremendously underwhelming to say the least. Regardless of what people may say in defense of the overly saturated FPS market, there is no excuse for such a likeness to the BFBC series. This game is at best a BFBC mod.

Sure both MP games are made by the same developer [DICE], but that doesn’t make it ok to just throw us a half ass version of the first Bad Company MP. 

To be fair, the game runs smoothly for the most part. After all, I do realize this is a beta. With that said, if DICE does anything short of a full on texture overhaul, wire frame update and a character animation redo (so as to differentiate itself from BC) this will be a total and complete failure. 

Gamers are too smart for this type of thing. Plain and simple it’s like getting a modified Battlefield Bad Company game that has had Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare injected into it’s face. If this beta was for “Battlefiled Bad Company: Teir 1”, then it would be ok to be so similar. Unfortunately it’s not, it’s for a completely different game and it should have a completely different feel. 

If you are dying to get into the beta, don’t get to excited…
