Men of Valor MP Demo

Maarten why doesnt Fileshack come up with a torrent option as one of the "servers"

You wouldn't have any lines, but you would still be serving it from the server, using less bandwidth than through FTP

You'd need on-demand seeding for all of the files, but it is possible

You could have an awesome feature that no other file sharing website would have

I am appalled that all the Previewers that played MoV code so far, not 1 of them has mentioned in their previews how bad the control of your character ingame is. And these are Veteran Preview dudes from sites that have been around awhile. SHODDY.

1: running/walking/crouchwalking feels like Matrix bullettime slow. It is futile to try to run across a street, or sidestrafe to evade. Even crawling takes f o r e v e r. I know many who are already panning this game and refusing to buy because the control is wacked... and not even remotely intuitive or natural feeling. Heck, even Halo PC control feels more acceptable.

2: I am wondering why when we try to crawl in the water, or near the water in the jungle map that the game magically takes control of our character and puts us into a crouch?????

3: The weaps in the demo are functional at best, but terribly balanced, especially the sniper rifle. While it is cool for the scope to come up in split second fashion in the console version, for the PC version that is neither acceptable, or natural lifelike feeling. No view enhancement adjustments, and no recoil=UBER weap.

4: where by golly is the limited jump feature? I see it in the User.ini.

This demo smacks of XBox. Or.... they for some reason unbeknownst to anyone but themselves decided to release a VERY old code demo. Why... is anyones guess. Cause it ain`t cool to release demos not indicative of the final release. Alot of players say yea` or nay depending on what the demo does for them. Right or wrong, many are saying.... Nay!

Are the visuals nice? Sure, altho I see no high rez textures accept for the weaps. No decals etc. Are the sounds nice? Yup... but strangely muted even at maxed out volumes. Control? Blows. Ya want an example of control done right? Play Vietcong.

Long story short, hopefully this demo is old code, and we are not seeing the game code that the Previewers are playing. Cause if this demo is how the final will be, it won`t matter how awesome it LOOKS. It won`t matter how awesome the scripted ingame experience is. Or the sound effects. Alot of hard core mil combat gamers that have waited for this game will not buy it.

I just can`t believe that not a once did any Previewer complain bout the crap control and movment speeds. Either he has newer code than the demo, or he is being payed to NOT post about how bad it is.

If they can make the control in the 1st person FEEL at least as good, natural and intuitive as Vietcong... they have a Hit on their hands. If not? They are gonna take a Rodney King Beatdown at the Store Counters.

Let us all hope the Previewers got almost final release code, and that this demo is old as the hills codewise.

well after a hour and a bit, its really not good. The only good thing about it is the level design. same gun sound used MANY times for diff guns. no jump, insta prone e.t.c

Unfortunetly I think all the top notch MOH guys went to Infinity Ward and not to 2015.

this game will not satisfy the hardcore crowd at all!

I'm having a hard time deciding whats worse...this or MOHPA.

Absolutely terrible. Horrible weapon feel, soft, pathetic weapon sounds... No jumping, no immersion... Nice grass though.

You might get a better speed here

Awful. No jumping at all. That was a quick uninstall.

felt like a bargain bin game - sound was horrible - drops off waaay to quick.
standing up to prone is instantaneous. vietnam sniper rifle sucks compared to american sniper rifle.


color me sad

This game is horrible! I was actually hoping this game would be fun. I played for LESS than a minute & uninstalled ASAP! Only good thing about it was the water effects and even that wasn't that great.

Wow, it hard locked my system. Uninstalled.

Server running: 24.231.16.171

"EAST COAST CANADA" I'll leave it up for an hour 'til 8:30pm EST and see if anyone joins in (if not shut er down).

Looks good, sounds good, plays poorly. No jump? No single key to crouch and then prone or get back up? No lean? Come on guys, this is 2004.

filerush.com has a torrent for those who want it - pretty fast

anyways, short opinions: it's definitely more realistic than most FPS games. you can only carry weapons your default pack comes with (usually a rifle, and then grenades or a pistol) and you can be cut down very quickly by gunfire.

you also have to "bandage" yourself by holding down the F key until the flashing red bit on your health (bottom-left) is eliminated - otherwise, you lose more health than you normally would.

good netcode, not much lag... though for some reason my ping went up to 299 (it was normally at about 100 on the server I played on) and I couldn't respawn. hopefully that was just a one-off result.

Not bad... needs some serious attention though. The sniper is unGodly accurate. No recoil, no...nothing...really just zoom in and click and they're pretty much dead. It's not even a challenge. Perhaps I've been playing a little too much Americas Army, but come on.... first game I played I went 19 kills and 2 deaths. Thats ridiculous given the size of the map and even with a server full of noobs (including myself).

As far as MP demos go: 7/10 maybe..

damn i love the sniper rifle. Its a fun demo.

Great. Sound dies after a few seconds of play. Anyone else having this problem?

Is there a Singleplayer version of the demo coming out too?

Uh, wait, which one is Men of Valor? Is that a Vietnam one, or is that the WW2 Band of Brothers-esque game that Gearbox (?) is working on?

NEED TO LOEAVE WORK NOW!!!

Okay there are WAY too many new game demos out right now. Ones that actually seem temptingly worth downloading, that is.

Last month (August) was DNF Rome: Total War demo.
This month (September fuck Oct 1st) is Roller Coast Tycoon 3, DNF WarHammer 40K, Tribes: Vagina, and now this.

And I probably missed a couple.

Too much! =(

too early to judge... all the servers were high pinging crap. the game is at least interesting enough to not turn me off yet though

Gah... Couldnt get in before the rush. Already a 10 minute wait on fileshack :(

think its pretty good...worth the download

*crosses fingers* not sure what to make of this game yet.
