I havent bought it, but yes ive played it. A friend bought it and got it unlocked early, tbh i wasnt impressed at all. The last one (moh 2010) was a pretty good game online, this new one is dire. Even bf3 with its massive amount of faults is better.

People who bang on about linear in gaming really are daft and well, the epitome of bandwagon jumpers.
All of the best games you can think of feature craploads of linear events, they are great as a tool in game making, you really can't have games in any shape or form without a huge amount of linearity(okay I'm sure theres an exception with some puzzle game). Telling a story is almost impossible to do without linear gameplay, things being triggered at certain points, stories are linear get over it.
There can be great linear events in games, and crap ones though, crap ones don't make all linear events terrible, nor do as the video suggests, having bits where you don't just shoot in games.
COD MW was fantastic, it was chock full of linear events, if had levels to break up the monotony of pure gun play with the airplane/bomber/whatever it was called level being fantastic. That one level was great in MW, putting the same level in, in some form and usually worse in every game since becomes boring, old and monotonous and bad, the first instance of it was great though.
This game sucks, for many reasons, the graphics aren't good, the general feel is terrible, the levels being broken down into tiny pieces makes it feel incredibly small and pathetic as shown in the video in the last page. The breaching mechanic as with the plane/bomber mechanic is now incredibly dull, breaching is fine but every game wants to add some new mechanic to something that is very basic. Now if you get more headshots you can breach with... a tomahawk, yes really. These soldiers, if you're previously shot enough people in the head during bullet time breaching, magically gain a weapon to do something entirely stupid with.
Bullet time... over used, misused, out of place and badly done, breaching, over used, misused, out of place mechanics and upgrades, badly done. Bullet time itself can be used to great effect in games, as can breaching, both are linear events(or most often used as such), that doesn't make them bad, bad implementation does.
To me the whole games feels choppy, the painful lack of options that are epically needed coupled with the actual number of graphical options which is higher than normal is bizarre.
I can't tell you why but, with no config option before the game, on my AMD 120hz screen setup(and bf3 often does this) it automatically starts in 3d mode.... guess what, I got a 120hz screen because I suffer from headaches and stuff like tearing and graphical hitching seems to make it worse, 3d does also, I didn't get the screen for 3d. Thats okay I'll just turn 3d off in the menu....... nope, no option anywhere to turn it off. Go windowed maybe like some people are forced to in BF3.... well you can but windowed mode has no res options(that I've found in config so far) meaning windowed mode takes up about maybe 1/3rd of my screen and is completely unplayable.
The game itself, bad mechanics, shooting doesn't "feel" right, big red head's every time you get a headshot, horrendous AI throughout, to the point I've bothered playing, woeful story and painfully poor cutscenes, instability, generally being completely crap in every single way.
COD MW was fantastic, full stop, MW2 was less good, similar gameplay, similar feel but ultimately they wanted to do what game makers shouldn't do "go bigger", it became a poorly paced, not good story version of a decent game, still better than most. The Black ops games, bad, poor gameplay, dodgy graphics, ridiculous stories and suffers from "go bigger" syndrome in everything it tries to do. MOH: Warfighter, is just crap.

Seems like the type of game built off the back of another games assets/engines success by a group who weren't good enough to make full use of them.
drunkenmaster I think you're mistaking some peoples complaints about linearity; for me there's linear gameplay but the way you complete that linear goal is optional.
However this game for me is as linear as holding out a piece of string in a straight line.
The most annoying thing about this and it isn't just MOH is AI.
AI is something that has mostly been neglected in games, I guess the fear that producing something next gen will cost a lot, so why do it? Let someone else make it?
It's really boring when the AI is virtually static, spawns in during gameplay right infront of you, has superpowers to see through walls and just like BF3, the friendly AI who will push shove and knock you out of cover because they are as on rails as could possibly be.
It's all about graphics and audio and **** the rest.
+ Silly achievements which aren't really achievements but masses buy into them because it gives them another carrot to follow instead of just playing the game for what it is, unlocks to give a sense of progression and obnoxious pop ups to let you know what you just did.

I wouldn't bother with him. His opinion of games holds no water. He critiques games without playing them, has an insecurity about console gamers, and decided not to buy a game he created a thread about, and raved about purely because the team requires more funding to complete it via Kickstarter.
Oh, and not forgetting he was promoting piracy for a title due to the publisher. If the 79 in his name represents his year of birth god help him.
What I find strange is why he continues to actively read, and post in a thread about a game which doesn't interest him. Two options. Either to troll, or he has nothing better to do.

Played a bit of the multiplayer last night and maybe it was me but the weapon balance felt a bit off.
The funniest thing which happened, if you can call it that, was spawning outside the actual playable map. Stuck in a small area surrounded by horrible low resolution textures. I could shoot the enemy team though
It was impossible for me to leave until they eventually killed me.

How many of you have actually played this game? Because how can you come to a constructive and valid conclusion to a game without actually playing it yourself?
Reviews mean **** all when your own tastes may be different to the reviewer, which is why i don't follow reviews anymore, and i can tell you now, the reviews saying you die every couple of seconds is ********, i'm playing the game on hard mode and i'm not dying every couple of seconds, infact, i've died about 4-5 times and i'm in the caves where you cut the power which is a good amount of levels into the game.
a lot of the comments in here are by people who hate EA with a passion, if you've played the game and you dislike it, but you've not let you're hate for EA interfere with your overall conclusion of the game, then fair enough, but the people who haven't played it and are bashing it, try playing it first, if you don't want to play it, then stop bashing it.
Edit: And for the people who are going to ask what my view is on the game, i would say i'm enjoying it so far but my teams AI needs improving as they spend most of their time behind cover instead of shooting or throwing a grenade.

Gret a grip, every and I mean every review has panned the game, go on the MOH WF forums and check the negativity towards the game from actual players.
No need to buy it
and play it to come to the conclusion it's another rushed out EA title, full of bugs and mediocre gameplay. A bit of purchase justification going on in here me thinks.

The game tries to be like COD but just fails completely.
It is ridiculous how much they have copied from it:
- the training mission that you do in the airplane environment, I actually could not believe how similar this was, even the way it was setup was so similar
- the short and long range scope on the guns
- the breaching door and slow mo whilst the guys turn around to shoot you
amongst 100 other reasons.
And yeah that is true Wes, just stand still and you don't get shot at all lol, first mission with the heli was ridiculous, I just stood there and I didn't get hit once
Mini guns and they missed completely, lol.
So many reasons I could list as to why the game is bad, but most have already mentioned them here so no point listing them again.
Though you really don't have to play a game to know what it is like. Gameplay/review videos show exactly what it will be like.

Joint Ops (and Escalation) was amazing. Played that when I lived in South Africa, gaming pings were crap over there so local servers were the only viable ones to play on, which mean everyone knew everyone on there so there wa sno hacking, cheating, or morons trying to ruin it for everyone else.
My opinion has a lot more merit in this instance fella, hell I've probably played more games in my life time than you. First yes i went with gut feeling with this game based on the publisher and the type of gameplay. But then I saw the reviews and was spot on, but not all were just reviews some were actual people playing either via twitch or online viewpoints. I knew from that moment I was correct and playing it would make no difference as it would be like seeing my friend playing it in front of me. NO THANKS!. I find it odd how you tell people not to bother with me, yet the majority are regarding this game and most others i whinge about ( DA2 Anyone? ), true I'm not always right who is? I do make mistakes!.
He critiques games without playing them?, BS! it's only in this one situation I have done so, I have an utter detest for EA and how they are ruining games they publish/develop. I have no insecurity about console games *looks over at his PS3 and gamecube*, just don't dumb down my games ( DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER, SAVING ).
Regarding kickstarter?, yeh maybe I did go a bit far in my view point of that particular game however I had my reasons which was clearly explained and has that changed, no.
Promoting piracy?, only with EA titles hell people have been doing it with Ubisoft titles on this very forum, but did you bat an eye lid? NO. Besides why the hell should i care so much about a company which has ruined game titles left right and center and destroyed so many great companies. Why should I care about a company that lies and gets away with so much?
I post in a thread about a game that does interest me but not in a positive light, because I'm sick and tired of people giving EA more and more money basically saying YES please develop more of these types of games. Look at BF3 and the premium rush, many of you gave the go ahead for EA to say yes we can do what we want, give you tons of DLCS and dumb it down. Insulting someone's age based on a very hardline opinion doesn't work on me however you'll know i have my good side and my bad side. My bad side if you got on that side is being bashed left right and center because i'll be damned if I step down however much you insult.
Enjoy your GOTY experience Dogmanstaruk

Setter, yes I might actually play BFBC2 depends if you can get me away from Chivalry

haha neil you troll
but it was me who told you this was garbage first thanks .
at end of day if you like the game that's all that matters to the person who plays it .
See I do make mistakes
, I'm trying to get people to save money and to stop giving money to Developers/Publishers who don't care about the PC gamer
.I bet you they will make a MOHW DLC!
