Hmmm, the game does at least look half way decent. I still think they could have done more to make it better. On-rails... not sure what to make of this feature.

The original Frontline was practically on-rails, so this works.

They're taking a step back IN STYLE.

According to this interview at eurogamer, the zapper will be supported in all modes of play, not just in the light-gun section.

We also feature full support of the Zapper in all of our game modes, including multiplayer.

Does that mean you can change which trigger fires your weapon?

http://wii.ign.com/articles/817/817116p1.html New info from Matt over at IGN.

- Not a mere PSP port
- Controls are second only to Metroid.
- Rails mode controls better than Umbrella Chronicles.
- Graphics are improved from MOH VanGuard.

Oh god...oh god...

Third parties are trying finally.

Quote
did we think that a third party could make a game that would rival Corruption's innovative utilization of the Wii remote? We said sure, yes, absolutely, it was bound to happen eventually, but we honestly figured such a feat would be several months off, if not years.
...
What the demo also proves beyond any doubt is that the Wii rendition is absolutely not a quick and dirty PSP port and we hope all of our readers will take notice now because, frankly, this surprisingly adept undertaking is set to blow a hole through both Call of Duty and Vanguard before it.
...
team members have periodically checked the message boards through the title's development cycle and are always disheartened when posters assert that Heroes 2 will be dumbed down mechanically or graphically on Wii. Sure, he adds, the two versions are bound to share some commonalities, like enemy artificial intelligence, for instance (which he notes is very smart), but Heroes 2 on Wii is brought to life via a new game engine, vastly improved graphics, completely overhauled controls and even a few exclusive play modes.

-60 FPS.
-fully customizable sensitivities
-can turn around in 0.5 seconds if you like
-options for "easy lock-on", even in Multiplayer matches
-appropriate weapon-specific cool wiimote moves, like swinging large machine guns left and right ala dodging in Wii Boxing
-480p and 16:9

Nintendo Wii owners everywhere, please buy this game!

I'm interested, if not just for the multiplayer aspects. Please just let this game get released with as few hiccups as possible.

I was one of those peeps who answered a questionaire about this game. I wonder if it made any difference...

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #32 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:27:35 PM »

Not sure about this one, but I played Medal of Honor demo for 360 and wasn't that impressed. Talk about a repetitive formula.

Kairon · « **Reply #33 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:37:15 PM »

This is made by a different team though, EA Canada, which we all know as one of EA's studios that is focusing very heavily on the Wii.

Medal of Honor Airborne for the 360 and other platforms is being developed by EALA, who were the bit of EA involved with Vanguard.

Well I'll consider, but I have SO MUCH I need to get. Heck I still haven't even played Scarface and I played Madden 08 for like 2 hrs.

Kairon · « **Reply #35 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:44:22 PM »

This is true. My copy of ScarFace is still shrink wrapped. I'm actually happy when I hear a game is delayed... like Nights is rumored to be.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #36 on:** August 31, 2007, 03:47:18 AM »

Scarface is fun! You should play it. I need to rent it again or buy it when it's cheap so I can finish the game.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #37 on:** September 06, 2007, 11:26:41 AM »

On Rails mode video. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24575.html Looking good, not spectacular.

Stogi · « **Reply #38 on:** September 06, 2007, 03:37:07 PM »

I think I'll wait for the review.......

ShyGuy · « **Reply #39 on:** September 08, 2007, 04:09:51 PM »

Another positive impression! Destructoid is "unbiased" and ""edgy" so that's doubly good.

anti-aliasing CONFIRMED
aiming is responsive and sensitive.
two goals: nails the controls, make the best game in terms of visuals they can on the Wii.

UERD · « **Reply #40 on:** September 08, 2007, 04:39:41 PM »

This game looks very, very promising.

I wonder what infernal force, however, has compelled EA to attempt making solid, compelling games for the Wii instead of the standard shovelware. I tell you the truth, nothing good can come out of this development!

darknight06 · « **Reply #41 on:** September 09, 2007, 02:01:40 AM »

It's called growing marketshare. By the way I'm getting this. Looks too good to pass up.

Kenology · « **Reply #42 on:** September 09, 2007, 03:15:15 AM »

I thought I was pretty much done with Medal of Honor after Rising Sun on the Cube.

But after reading IGN's hands-on, learning about the online mode, and reading through this thread, I can say that I'm pretty much sold.

The fact that this thing controls as well as MP3:C and has an online multiplayer mode really goes a long way. The guys up at EA Canada are really putting some effort into this and I want it to do well.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #43 on:** September 09, 2007, 04:48:24 AM »

Where's my referal fees EA?

Okay, here's the catch: It's currently scheduled to come out the same week as Super Mario Galaxy.

IceCold · « **Reply #44 on:** September 09, 2007, 09:06:41 AM »

Ugh. Well, I'll pick it up when it's a bit cheaper, then..

EDIT: There's a reason why EA's games are some of the best third party ones on the Wii. The few EA games I liked pre-Wii were EA Canada's games (SSX, NBA Street, Fight Night, FIFA etc). The fact that the Wii versions of many of their games are being made by a group from EA Canada was great news from the start, and it looks like it's paying off.

darknight06 · « **Reply #45 on:** September 09, 2007, 02:02:49 PM »

Damn, a 100 dollar week! Better save up for it, I'm getting both regardless.

IceCold · « **Reply #46 on:** September 09, 2007, 03:58:04 PM »

The money isn't as big of an issue as the fact that I fully expect to be so absorbed in Galaxy that the rest of my life will be put on hold

ShyGuy · « **Reply #47 on:** September 12, 2007, 01:08:38 PM »

New trailer up at IGN, looks like Nazi killing enjoyment in a waggle package! http://media.wii.ign.com/media/947/947233/vids_1.html

Kenology · « **Reply #48 on:** September 12, 2007, 03:46:46 PM »

Hey Shy Guy, can we exchange Wii friend codes? When MOH:H2 comes out, I'd like to be able to play with/against you in the game.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 12, 2007, 05:15:31 PM »

That trailer looks really good. If I were to buy a WWII game (and after seeing that I just might) I think that would be the one.
Too bad it will have to wait until SMG and SSBB get put down long enough to remember that the game came out.
