Allied Assault was the game that made me get my first gaming PC. Oh the great times that were had...

That super-respectful-authentic skull icon that pops up every time you get a headshot would give me the shits after the third time. Who the hell at Danger Close thought that was a good idea?
To this day I've never spent as much time in an online multiplayer situation like that game. It's what got me into PC gaming full time, too.
dont forget about day of defeat
Some people thrive on justifying their purchase(s), I bought MOHW because I've been a fan of the franchise and make no bones about it when I say the game blows chunks. In my heart of hearts
I knew the game was going to be a disappointment, I even had a pending ticket open with EA to cancel my preorder, all I needed to do was get back in touch with them....oh well, so much for that.
EA knew the game was going to be a disaster, hence the 50% discount to BF3 premium players and the day 1 review embargo. I'm sure all their analysts and accountants had it figured out that they
could recoup a majority of the development and marketing costs by implementing these tactics...and it probably worked.
im gonna get my 29 dollars worth damnit hahah
I think the day 1 review embargo had a big part to do with that. I'd be super-critical as well if I was used as a scapegoat in EA's game, because when it comes down to it, that's exactly what happened. EA used the excuse that wanted to make the game "perfect" for the "best experience possible" so reviewers and gamers could share the same "experience"....

I dont mind the game 1 bit, It was totally worth the 29.99 I paid for it lol.
My only issue is the massive bugs in MP. Everytime I go to select a weapon or class, I crash, and have to alt-ctrl-del to close out to the game. If I just spawn, and I can play no problem.
Is it worth 59.99? O hell no, not even close, but its a nice lil FPS to tide me over for now I guess.
Graphics wise....it seems ok, but to me, its not up to BF3 graphics standards.

yea doesnt seem all that immersive IMO lol.
Wish i could try out other guns though.....getting sick of only being able to use one since I cant even choose a different gun/class/team, Crashes everytime
the unlock system is weird too. i feel like theres too many classes almost. like i unlocked a grenade launcher.. i have no idea who uses that or how to equip it

Same exact thing happened to me. I wanted to equip it, but since the UI is so god awful and such a chore to navigate I said fuck it and gave up.

Allied I believe was made by many of the devs that went on to form Infinity Ward who then made COD. No wonder you loved it because COD 1 was great too.
so was COD 2 and many after..
COD didnt fall off until black ops. some would argue world at war was terrible but i didnt mind it too much i thought it was okay
i wasnt really annoyed until i bought black ops. fucking terrible.
I liked Call of Duty 1 and 2. Call of Duty 3 I skipped because it was console only. I heard it was shit anyway. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare is the pinnacle of the series in my opinion. The single player campaign was fun even with the retarded story but it was down right grounded in reality compared to the stories in later games. I skipped Call of Duty World at War because it was a WWII shooter. I got sick of those some time ago. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 had an even more ridiculous single player campaign but it was fairly entertaining. The multiplayer is where that one fell apart. Low player limits for matches, small maps etc.
Call of Duty Black Ops went the right direction. I felt single player had a less ridiculous story than the previous couple of games but wasn't as polished as the Infinity Ward titles were. Multiplayer was better but the maps weren't all that great and worst of all it was buggy as hell. After the let down that was Black Ops I didn't go any further with the series. I'd just be buying the same game again anyway since they've done nothing to innovate. And as I understand it post-Black Ops games like Modern Warfare 3 made it so you couldn't do ranked games through dedicated servers which is total shit. I'm not supporting that with my money.
It just gets me how each game takes such a step back when the Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare formula for multiplayer worked so well.

I think every COD after MW has been terrible.
Interestingly enough, the .mil community likes the new MOH a good amount. I have to say I agree for the most part. My main complaint is that the FOV sucks and the bullets don't do enough damage in SP (haven't bothered with MP yet). I like how you can't insta-crouch/prone in this one like in real life (armor makes you slow as shit compared to without it). I do wish you could move while leaning.

call of duty 4 modern warfare was AMAAAZING i agree.
it was the 2nd one that had the terrible gun balance right? with the dual shotguns or whatever? hah
I think so. I haven't played it in so long I don't remember. I recall Black Ops having more of that shit than MW2 had but I could be wrong.

they need a much better way to track unlocks. the menu system is convoluted. i guarantee everyone who's playing has shit unlocked they had no idea was available to them.
this times a million THIS hahaha

I fixed my game crashing from not using battlelog. I join servers from the ingame server browser, and im able to change everything, Played 2 hours no crashes, and changed guns etc.
Not a bad game though once i was able to play some MP for awhile. Specially for $30. But yea DEF has a cod feel to it, although ranking/weapons etc are very confusing for me shrug

Still thinking about getting it. Do premium bf3 players still get 50 percent off?

I just want to say thanks for this tip. This works for me. I was crashing almost every time a round ends.

I played the first 30min and then quit out of boredom. It's the same crap we've played in COD, BF3 and countless other modern era FPS. Swim out of river, sneak up on enemy, plant bomb, blow up bomb, shoot people blah blah blah. Maybe I'm just getting old lol.
same i was having crazy issues with crashing using battlelog. super annoying.
i almost want to buy a server to put some more realistic bullet damage settings on. i mean sometimes i peg them like 6 times
Yes, I think the offer is good into the middle of November, but in my opinion it's just not worth it for the SP or MP. The SP is all too familiar and the MP comes across very juvenile, i.e....slow-motion killcam,
stupid closeup of fireteam winners slapping high-fives and chest-bumping, terrible FOV & VOIP implementation. I know the 50% off is enticing, and that's what EA is banking on, I would save your $30 and put it towards something else.
That's the feeling I've gotten from this.

Ok I gotta admit, I like the MP alot 
. Reminds me of a totally new COD with dedicated servers. I think its totally worth 29.99. The thing is you gotta get by some of the quarks? I mean dont use battlelog at all, its bugged to shit right now, use the in-game browser.
But I am really digging the home run gamemode. Love how if you die, you stay dead....pretty cool if you ask me.
Anyway if you get it off 50%, give it a shot. If you dont plan to get black ops or anything.
BTW the maps are way smaller of course, but dont compare this to BF3 at all, its got a different vibe and feel to it. BF3 is still superior when it comes to the graphics if you ask me....Anyway now im rambling

For half price it's ok I suppose.
They had the Frostbite 2.0 engine and there aren't any destructible environments in multiplayer (I can't shoot through wood/thin fences either). That's like gathering the materials required to make chinese porcelain and then making a toilet instead.

Right. The game didn't HAVE to suck is what it comes down to.

so i played SP for a while now and, well, except for the driving bits it's super bland. also, i remember the trailers promising some international specops action, but the only other dudes you fight alongside are GROM, and only for one level. i was hoping to kick ass with the KSK, but whatever.
also, what i hate the most: endlessly respawning enemies out of nowhere and there is also one kind of "heavy" enemy in <generic cave level> that has a PK and some robes, who wears a motorcycle helmet or some shit. he can take an entire mag of 7.62 from the SCAR to the face and doesn't even flinch...what the hell?
game looks good, though and runs acceptable in 1680x1050 with medium to high details on rig in sig.
