Will there be Character Customization?

Hinted at; "...certain look, a certain movement style, certain weapons systems... At the Tier 1 level, they get to choose what they use... guys that we've had in here all have different likes and dislikes....

It's been really, really cool, so we're getting the best of both worlds in the game."

Will there be HUD

Close to none; " The game features almost no HUD at all so far. You get incoming fire indicators, and a simple ammo counter that fades after you stop firing.

Is there Recoil:

Yes: quote from lead Dice dev Sibben

We do have recoil and deviation. When using auto weapons there is a definitive advantage in using controlled fire. It might be that it's not that visible in captured video, but you definitely feel it when playing.

What is tier one?

quote from Sibben Dice Dev:

It's a level you must reach. When you have the beard people know you're bad-xxx!

will the term clip be replaced by the right name magazine?

quote from Dice Dev sibben:

The term clip was a placeholder and it should really be magazine. I actually did a search and replace of clip to magazine just now in the text database. Some had been left in there for some reason. Magazine it is!

can you change your loadout during game:

Quote from DICE dev Sibben:

You select your loadout (weapon and attachments) when you spawn. The game remembers your last configuration for each class so if you have a favourite setup you can just spawn. Or edit it if you find the situation calls for a different loadout. It depends a bit on the map and the game mode what you want to pick.

how many bullets does it take to kill someone and is gameplay as fuild as BFBC2:

Quote from DICE dev Sibben

Depends on weapon, attachements and ammunition type. The gameplay in MoH MP is fast-paced and skill-centric.

How is movement online:

Quote from DICE dev Sibben

Movement is quite fast, yes.

Does Online favor tactical gameplay:

Quote from DICE dev Sibben

The nature of the game favors teamplayers. In Combat Mission the whole team really needs to pull together to achieve the objectives. In Team Assault a group of soldiers who move in a group will be more effective.

In addition to this defensive support actions influence and help your team. Many people will probably use them because it gives them points, but still, they're there.

Will the name "hollow point" for ammunition get changed because of controversy?

Quote from DICE dev Sibben

I have addressed this issue. Open-tip is a much better term and avoids this controversy. Thanks for reminding me.

Just a heads-up. Because of the way developing and testing games work these changes will possibly not make it into the beta immediately but I can guarantee you it'll be corrected for the final game. Basically there are turn-around times at work here

will there be other controls options

Quote from DICE dev Sibben

We have alternative control schemes but they're not all set yet. I'll keep this in mind.

How are you going to balance snipers

Quote from DICE dev Sibben

Snipers are alwyas a tricky balance. It's lots of fun sniping people but not so fun being sniped. We're not totally done on the snipers yet and the beta will probably help us alot in this regard. Headshots with the right ammo will be one shot kills in most instances but not always.

The balance between snipers/other classes works pretty well in-house but I'll be monitoring the stats online now the betas come up to see how they compare to the other classes. We really want to allow people to snipe without it being a snipe fest. That's the tricky part. But rest assured. This is something we're careful with.

reason for xbox360 beta delay:

Because there is a problem between DICE and MS with the beta software not working on xbox maybe, the issue is unknown, its NOT, its NOT an intentional delay from EA or DICE


What are the minimum requirements for PC?

please be welcome to post to contribute to this FAQ


there hasn't been a big update in a while since most information came from E3 which i have and there hasn't been barely any information from E3 we dont already know.

Hey - Thanks for taking the time to compose this.

Two things. One, "Will there be a Beta?" Answer should be just "Yes". Beta has been confirmed.

Second thing, "Will there be a demo?" Did I miss this announcement? I thought it was only a Beta and no Demo?

Thanks,

-FS

nice nice, oilersguru could sticky this

What will the rating be for MoH:2kX

"This game will be rated "Mature".", matthewpruitt

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/530509.page#4977083

Well here is my list from my thread:

# Release Date: October 12, 2010.
# Lead Platform: PlayStation 3
# Setting: Afghanistan, 2002
# PlayStation Move Support: No
# Game Engines: SP - "heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3" / MP - Frostbite
# Release Date: Fall 2010. No dates set yet. But, before Christmas
# Rating: Mature
# Developers: SP - EALA / MP - DICE
# Destructible Terrain: Yes.; "In the multiplayer side, destructible terrain is what they do; it's what their technology does. In the single-player game, environments will be destroyed. [Grins] I'll say that. I won't confirm if you'll be destroying them or not, but again, this is a game about warfare. We're in a place that's very diverse and there's destruction that happens in our game."

# Dedicated Servers: Yes
# Vehicles: SP - Yes / MP - Yes.; "Apaches, and you will be behind the stick in an Apache. You'll be on ATV All-Terrain Vehicles."
"Well, with DICE involved," he says, grinning, "I think you can assume we're going to touch on vehicle combat just a little."

# Peek & Lean: SP - Yes / MP - ?.; Peek and lean is something that has always been in Medal of Honour, and we'll keep that, so even though we're moving on into a new war, a new enemy, and a new warrior, there are certain things that will remain, independent of what the timeframe is and who the enemy is.

# Character Customization: Hinted at; "...certain look, a certain movement style, certain weapons systems... At the Tier 1 level, they get to choose what they use... guys that we've had in here all have different likes and dislikes.... One guy will dress this way and use this system; another guy will do this; one guy will hold it this way or have a holster this way... It's been really, really cool, so we're getting the best of both worlds in the game."

# HUD: Close to none; " The game features almost no HUD at all so far. You get incoming fire indicators, and a simple ammo counter that fades after you stop firing. Otherwise, it's all just game: sound, impact effects, destructible scenery, some very pleasing knife kills, and just solid, down to earth action. "

# Prone: SP - Yes / MP - No;
# Beta: "Soon" (5/6/10)
# Slide To Cover: SP - Yes / MP - ?
# Get the M24 early, for purchasing BC2.
# Characters: Multi-character perspectives, mainly Tier 1; "You'll take on the role of Army Rangers for some levels, but for the most part you'll be one of the Tier 1 Ops. These are the literal best of the best, the guys who call in airstrikes, make contact with warlords, and go on what are essentially kill missions. But the devs are keen to show how what they call the 'big army' integrates with and relies upon these operators, and how these operators could not possibly succeed at their task without some serious back up to call on"
"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."

Nice compilations. Should be a good view for new users.

i will get started and start adding all those

A demo has been confirmed but release date is unknown

Would you be so kind as to cite the source for this information. With the beta currently being handled in the manner it is, a demo may be the only redeeming hope I have of purchasing this game at release. Provided the demo is released BEFORE the game, of course.

i remember hearing about a demo release i will have to look up on it, i will edit to unconfirmed until confirmation

Well here is the story on that demo:

In a couple of the interviews, they said that they got to play a demo of the game. They then were explaining the whole mission, and every part about it.

That is where people think that that demo will be released to the general public. That could be true, but as it stands now, it was only used for interviews.

umm i bet your right on that, still cant wait for the beta but
