Leaning

{Suggestion for article addition:}

Leaning with Sniper Rifles What sets this game apart from other popular FPS games is the ability to lean.

Although this appears to be a small thing; coupled with Sniper Rifle Only and Rifle only games - which are typically played on small maps with enclosed rooms. Players are not often able to actually "snipe"(remain stationary and zoom), instead have to resort to duelling 1 vs. 1 (or more challenging 1 vs. 2+) with these slow loading, single shot weapons.

Players must jump, crouch and lean firing at each other while being only inches apart. This style of shooting (similar to that seen in the movie Equilibrium) makes battles unlike that of many FPS games.

Playing these types of games can be very strenuous and fast-paced.

Due to many kills being single shot, not many shots are fired unless an equally matched duel occurs. This can cause enough noise to attract more enemies, leading to 1 vs. 2+ battles, so speed is of the essence. --NeF 20:16, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

So a year on and still the one feature that makes MOH special still isn't even mentioned in the article? What the hell?--NeF 00:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
If you can show that multiple publications have written about it in this series, then we got something. Until then it can't be added.--Clyde (talk) 05:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Conflict with german law?

"The game is uncensored in terms of flags, and the swastika can often be found. This conflicts with German laws which state that the swastika may only be used in historical references"

Since the series is set IN WWII, doesn't that technically make it a historical reference? Unless the series was set in modern times and the flag was being used by, say, neonazis, I fail to see how the usage conflicts with the law. But then, Germany tends to be rather crazy in their whitewashing of WWII campaign, so, I suppose I could expect as much from them.````

IIRC the article is incorrect. Displaying of the swastika is only permitted a) as a religious symbol or b) in scholarly contexts. Considering the use of the swastika in the game qualifies as neither, it would be banned. Although I am thoroughly opposed to any censorship law in principle and therefore also against this particular one, I have to correct you in that you cannot accuse the Germans of incorrect or overactive enforcement of this law.

I agree with the first guy, The whole game is a historical reference. I think the part about law conflict should be removed. --Simpsons fan 66 07:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hooray for uncut and blood patch for Allied Assault! ^^ --77.182.78.241 (talk) 18:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Needs references

This article makes a lot of bold claims about the game (for example, in the critical reception area) which need reliable third party sources to back up; sounds like a combo of POV and original research. ~Eliz81(C) 06:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Hello, It seems there is a spot of vandalism here, the word "Hi" appears between the list of titles for the Playstation and Playstation 3 (also, note the list of titles for Playstation 2 has dissapeared!) i couldnt edit it myself. 86.31.43.211 (talk) 19:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Me again, it seems to have gone or been changed, so I'm not sure what exactly I saw :) Silica-gel (talk) 19:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

"MoH gameplay", "MoH players"

On forum or in real life, I often use the term "MoH gameplay" when I'm talking about a poor leveldesign or a simple/poor gameplay, because (even if when MoH was release, it was a really good game, but since then =>) releasing a "MoH game" today is like releasing "yet another EA game" : same gameplay (script, one-way map, simple objectives, same "bad-guy", etc...), same ambient/weapons (thompson/M4a1/sniper).

I and forums user use "MoH players" too, when they talk about players playing in order to get frag only, even if it ruins the game : never capture point/flag/zone, always cry/shout to get the sniper, always waiting the ennemy (never attacking without the sniper/most powerful weapon), killing teamates without saying "sorry", saying "this game is ***" if they die while walking in the middle of the battlefield (see Operation Flashpoint or Vietcong games) or weapons are all enought powerful to kill in few shot (=> making sniper not so powerful). If a game is quite hard because there's intense action (like short range fight with shotgun), they yell "it's unrealistic" and when a game is really realistic (not perfectly indeed), they cry "it's too hard" (in fact, too complicate). Have you ever notice that too ?

Where the fuck did that come from? You need to get a life, my friend. 205.222.248.19 (talk) 14:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
And just for the record, every Medal of Honor game has been different. The only people who act like that that I know of are Call of Duty players. The Medal of Honor online community has always been very good, so you might want to change that to "CoD players". My description of CoD: same shit, different game. 205.222.248.19 (talk) 14:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

I think this applies to most kids (and adults who still act as kids) playing online videogames, it's not specific to this game. 216.27.176.249 (talk) 00:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Linux versions?

The article numerates a few editions that supposedly work on the GNU/Linux operating system. In fact, the server version for these editions works natively on Linux, but the server is non-playable, isn't it?

I believe it is misleading to say that these editions of the game work on Linux when only the non-playable server version does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.70.160.83 (talk) 02:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

One line summary of each game in series

Why not have a one line summary of each game in series or at least year and a bit more information. Comparing this article to Call Of Duty Series this is in need of development. -NeF (talk) 14:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

It has been rumored that EA is in talks to develop a new game in the series and that it will be based in the future or a more up to date environment.

"It has been rumored that EA is in talks to develop a new game in the series and that it will be based in the future or a more up to date environment." Can we have a citation for this?

I hope they don't do this. This would be copying COD4 on such an obvious level. Back in the days of Allied Assault, this game felt very innovative, so blateently trying to copy COD would make the franchise that much more irrelevant.

I wish they just did an Allied Assault remake with "HD graphics" -NeF (talk) 14:47, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Ahem

I don't think Chuck Norris created Medal of Honor. At least not the last time i checked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.104.138.226 (talk) 22:21, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Next Medal of Honor

Where does it say that the next MoH game will be in Afghanistan? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.61.205 (talk) 01:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Medal of Honor series to be "revitalized"

According to Kotaku:

--68.209.227.3 (talk) 07:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC) 

I hear it is just going to be a knock off of Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. I don't think there is enough information to add it to the page yet. 97.119.218.41 (talk) 05:03, 15 November 2009 (UTC)CJ

Small (pertinent) doubt

Since this was not specified in the artile, nor did i find any reference to it while searching the internet, i wonder if in any of the MOH games you can, actuall, you know... win the Medal of Honor? (so far ive played all of the pc/ps2 titles earning all medals and couldnt see it). Thanks.

Leave a message trailer

EA stated: "Leave a Message was crafted with three goals in mind: authenticity, respect and above all, a special nod to Steven Spielberg (who created the Medal of Honor franchise over a decade ago). How this was approached was to recreate the Omaha Beach landing with Jimmy Patterson, except now, instead of arriving on the shores of occupied France in the hull of a Higgins Boat, we have our Rangers arriving in the Shahi-Kot Valley in the modern day equivalent -- the CH-47 Chinook Helicopter. This trailer leaves a lasting impression on everyone who sets eyes on it, as it prepares players for an Army Ranger experience that only Medal of Honor can deliver. View trailers, screenshots, concept art and more that Medal of Honor has to offer through Tier 1 Central exclusively at www.MedalofHonor.com." along with this trailer. 81.68.255.36 (talk) 15:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

MoH:FC

I heard somewhere that the coding used in MoH:FC was sold to UbiSoft for the development of Blazing Angles: Squadrons of World War II. Is there any truth to this? YuriKaslov (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Allied Assault War Chest and Deluxe Edition

Since the list of the series' releases contains bundles and collections, I think the "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - War Chest" has to be mentioned as well. It's a pack containing the main Allied Assault game and both official addons - I guess that it's a purely European relase though. Also there's a Deluxe Edition of the game, containing only Allied Assault and the first addon (Spearhead). --F4LL0UT (talk) 04:03, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Soundtrack

There's nothing about the music, which is even better than the awesome game itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XxDestinyxX (talk • contribs) 15:10, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
