I went to two CC's in the St. Louis area. In the first store, the clerk told me they didn't have any, and wasn't too interested in checking the inventory. The second store also had none on the shelves, but when I asked, a well mannered young clerk said they were keeping them in the stockroom because of the upcoming inventory. However, he got one and sold it to me. So they can sell them but not display them? How strange is that? If you don't see them in your CC, make sure to ask. They may have them in the stockroom. The inventory is supposed to end tonight. I was able to use MOH:AA as one of the games in the buy 2, get one free deal, so overall, I was pretty happy.

mcpax, if you think getting up the beach is hard, after you've got off the beach it's gonna be even harder. There are a couple of missions I thought was really impossible getting past until after numerous number of tries. Don't wanna spoil the gameplay for ya so you'll have to find it out yourself which missions are hard.

I thought all the sniper missions were the worse. Could never figure out where the snipers were until it was too late.

Hehe, LOL, yah once I got the hang of it wasn't as bad as I thought but definately an interesting experience. I heard the sixth mission is pretty tough. Anymore riding around in the back of a jeep with a gun? That was pretty fun, mindless, but fun. Yes, I have Ghost Recon, only played the MP a little bit, was just getting ready to go through the SP but then Medal of Honor came out.

Yeah, finished that game. Wasn't too hard for me. I thought the Medal of Honor sniper levels were the worst. Thank God for that compass at the bottom, otherwise, I'd have absolutely no clue as to where I was getting hit from. I guess I should be staying away from the middle of the street/plaza next time. :D

hehe, I agree that the sniper missions are horrible. The first sniper experience I couldn't even find the guy. I had to use grenades to lure him out of hiding. The main sniper mission was horrible. I spent so long on that one. I used the compass on the top left to figure out where the shots are coming from then figure out exactly where their locations are.

Anybody know if the patched multiplayer is any better than the multiplayer demo. I thought that one sucked and from what I read somewhere (gamepot or gamespy review?), cheaters were ruining the multiplayer gamepay.

Also, do you know need a cd key to play multi?

Quick question: Do the enemies respawn? I couldn't tell from the demo.
Thanks. :)

<< I won't buy it until the BUGS are worked out...i've read about WAYYYYY to many problems people are having with crashes and the game NOT EVEN starting. Angry customers returning the game >>


That happened to me for about an hour until I re-installed the detonator XP drivers, for some reason the opengl subsystem kept bugging.
I haven't gotten a chance to play really but the graphics look really sweet, I'm having trouble pulling myself away from Tac Ops.:)

I may be wrong, but I thought that the buy 2 get 1 free at CC was last week, AND this week's ad it was buy 1 get 1 free. Have to relook at the ad when I get home.

Wait...buy what get what free? Buy 2 pieces of software and get 1 free? Hmmmmm....could be interesting... I went to circuit city today, the stupid saleslady could really give a shiz about helping me, i told her to look up the product in the system and see if you can find how many are in stock since there were none on the wall, then she's all like uh i cant do that and i then show her the damn ad and shes like oh ok that has a sku number so i can do it. Ok, is it that hard to type medal of honor into her lame computer system and do a query...or is CC's system that lame that it only does searches by sku #'s... anyways, there were 0 in stock and only 6 in transit. Apparently they never got any in for the sales ad yet anyway. BAH...is this game even worth it, I liked wolfenstein's single player kinda...is this even better? I dont care about multi, im on dialup.

btw www.alliedassault.com has a ton of new files including a few that add full blood and gore - they look really sweet.

i don't think that the game has "bugs" that prevent anyone from starting it, i think that people need to update their drivers.

I've encountered a pretty troublesome bug when playing multiplayer though. On one server I was playing on, everybody in the server would begin to switch weapons and move around and throw grenades and switch to binoculars and such unintentionally. This would happen like every 20 seconds to everyone simultaneously in the game. It got to the point where I just got pissed off and quit, but from what people are telling me, it's not a unique occurance.

Theres around 10 different blood patches at alliedassault.com and fileplanet. Anyone try them all and figure which one looks or works better? Why didn't this game come with blood on?

Screw CC. I stopped by WalMart on my way home from work today and picked up MOH:AA for $30 with a pricematch. I like the small boxes they come in these days.

Now the ad CLEARLY states, buy two and get one free. So I buy TWO copies of this game and get 1 free. I spent 20 minutes debating this with them, as the CC employees tell me I need to buy a THIRD title to get one free. What a buncha maroons .... I give up .. but at least I have 2 copies.

Probably so they could get a Teen rating, and not Mature.
