Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators.

Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan.

There is a new enemy. There is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.

funny how every new combat game game they all seem to have new names Tier 1 sounds like a stadium level
 
I have been playing the beta for quite some time now on the PS3 and im quite impressed. Its a mixture of COD and Battlefield. Both the graphics and audio are quite good however they have been compressed to fit the 700MB beta client file size so I expect both to be better in the final version. There were some bugs at the beginning that caused lots of crashes but after a recent patch its much better now. I cant judge it too much yet since there are only 2 maps and 2 modes but its looking very solid.
 
MOH was the shit back in the day and I'm going to buy this like I have with every other one. I loved Omaha beach as well! Such a shame it isn't WW2 stuff though.
 
Ive played the demo and Im not impressed...I mean if you already have cod or battlefield, you simply dont need this game as its not an improvement or better game than those 2...the whole gameplay is dejas vue...I prefer sticking to my battlefield bc2.
 
I got an invite to the beta but so far it's just OK.

It's a blatant Modern Warfare clone, a lot of the stuff is identical.

Pressing :circle: to crouch feels weird too.
 
The day Dreamworks stopped working on MOH it died. Frontline was the last MOH imo!
 
Frontline was a great game, a remake of it is included in the PS3 CE of this game.
 
360 version has gone Live :

YouTube - Medal of Honor Beta - Xbox 360 Gameplay

Doesn't look too bad, I guess. Playing as the Taliban though. Jokes.

Map looks decent enough, too. Plenty of hiding places and looks detailed. Shame you can't destroy buildings like you can on BC2, but will give it a go later.

The PC version is apparently buggy as hell. Some weapons are absolute rubbish and it's full of references to consoles but then it is only the beta.
 
The Beta is available when you pre-order Medal of Honor. Beta Redemption Keys are available at participating retailers as a reward for pre-ordering Medal of Honor. Once you have a Beta Redemption Key, just go to www.medalofhonor.com/beta to redeem it for a code for the platform of your choice.

You can always cancel your preorder.
 
Played 2h.
I know it's only a beta, but it's not even fun. It's very basic and a lot of little things annoyed me such as the little freeze when you die, the 2 maps (too tiny) and there's only one way to explore them.

Played it yesterday at the Eurogamer expo and I liked it a lot. However now I have heard that EA have caved in and removed the 'taliban' from the game I now feel EA are nothing but pussy's. To make it fair they should call the US forces 'invading aggressors' as its not fair for those innocent Afghans who have lost family members to see that a this game allows u to play as a US soldier. Absolute pathetic from EA, it really is!!

They didn't remove the Taliban from the game. They only changed the name to Opposing Force which is rather bizarre. I mean they still look like Taliban fighters and the maps you play in are Kabul, Kandahar, Helmand Province etc so it doesn't really change anything.

I must say I do agree with you about the 'invading aggressors'. In my opinion they should change both the names of the US Forces and Taliban to 'Imperialistic Invading Pigs' vs 'Barbaric Hypocritical Maniacs'.

Any reasons for the 7 to 8 range scores?

From videos I've seen it just looks like they took Bad Company and tried to copy COD in a few ways and thought that would be enough.
