Yes this really is a console game for the PC. But what game at present, and in the future...yes I'm looking at you "CoD4"... isn't (in the FPS genre anyway).
The graphics are superb, though many players have had problems even with high end computer rigs. This game is very CPU-intensive, not just GPU. Some with 8800GTX's have to set the detail on medium. You must have dual-core at least and a 7900GT card to run the game settings on High (though a 8800GTS is desirable). There are some graphical glitches, like the "Mr.Fantastic" bug where corpses's limbs can strech out three fett or more (saw a dead trooper stretch all the way from a rooftop to the ground, then bungie back up in MP).
Gameplay can be summed up with one word: "plain fun"...I know technically that's two, but I just want to make a point. If you're looking for a "realistic" WWII shooter, look elsewhere. Especially when you get to Level 6 and face the Uber-Nazis with waist-carried MG-42's that take 4 grenades at their feet to bring them down. But, it's fun. Don't compare it to CoD...these are two very different beasts.
Mentioning Level 6 brings up the major gripe for this game. There ARE only six levels and should take the average player 8 hours to complete (though some have rushed through in 4...where's the fun in that?). It has the feel of an expansion pack or a console port...Hmmm, think we've covered that. What makes this worse is the full (and bloated) price tag on the game, which really feels like half a game.
Multiplayer as it stands is a lot of...yes, you guessed it...fun. As a trooper you must quickly decide on a landing spot to suit your play style, and an egress plan post landing to ensure you have time to catch your breath and formulate a good strategy. There is no LAN support (unforgiveable, really) but there are Dedicated Servers promised for the end of the month to coincide with the game's first patch. And it had better be a pretty big patch, or several smaller, but constantly delivered incremental patches. There are big issues to address here, and if EA wants to keep it's community support it had better deliver, and not just focus on the console market. The same complaints were made to EALA on the release of "C&C3", but that seems to have settled down. I only hope they give the same support to Airborne.
To summarize, if you'd like something a little fresher than CoD2, and you are tired of WWII than "MoHA" is definitely worth grabbing. A lot of complaints on svereal Froums by players (such as weapon recoil and hit boxes) are totally unjustified. I've fired these weapons for real, and they do have heavy recoil and are far more inaccurate than Hollywood and other games have portrayed.
On a closing note, don't believe all the reviews you read. One "official" review stated there was no blood in the game. Guess what, there is. There's not a lot, but quite often you'll see a German or American blown away accompanied by a spray of the red stuff. To me that means blood. The weapon upgrade system might be gimmicky (and it probably is), but it adds to the, guess what...fun. On the whole, I think the game is good, and with proper support from EALA, and the Modding community it could just be a lot more. Judge for yourself, just don't believe a lot of what you read...just a little thing called bias enters the equation all too often.
Cheers,
