MOH FIX IS A COMMUNITY based patch for Medal of Honor: Allied Assault designed to improve gameplay, increase stability and fix bugs such as wallhacking or clipping. More
Based on reviews from major video game publications, Battlefield Bad Company 2 might just be worth the cash. I'm wondering if I should pull the trigger on it? Anyway, DICE has blessed us with a launch video.
A bunch of bouncer-types reportedly arrived outside the Infinity Ward offices, refusing to explain the reason for their presence to employees. Today, Activision stated "The Company is concluding an internal human resources inquiry into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward. This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation. At present, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company."

More information about the CryEngine 3 has surfaced onto the Internet. Crytech will be using CryEngine 3 in their upcoming Crysis 2. The video below highlights the latest improvements in indirect illumination. In short, the technology featured provides real life light properties. Light is now reflected based upon texture properties as they are in real life.
"As Battlefield Bad Company 2 comes out next week, I'll tell you about the Day 1 map pack that is available to all players who purchase the game and apply their VIP code which comes with the game at no extra charge."
Does this mean that in the future, Electronic Arts is going to be charging for downloadable content, or are they trying to slip in a last minute patch? the game looks enticing but think I'll pass on it. The map pack contains two new maps which are the Rush map, Nelson Bay and the Conquest map, Laguna Alta which you can check out in the video now. The maps will be available from March 2nd which will allow the lucky North America players to get access and practice while us Europeans wait a few days more.
Curious as to what you'll get on the PC when you install Battlefield Bad Company 2? Watch this video. It highlights the features native to the PC version of the game.
If you are curious as to what you can do with Battlefield Bad Company 2 in terms of graphics, DICE has a nice write up for you. It highlights the game's ability to run up to 6 monitors, DX11 support, 3D vision and different quality levels not currently in the beta. More information about the Bad Company 2 graphics setup can be found here.
In an interview with Greg Goodrich in Atomic MPC, an Australia-based PC gaming magazine, Sean Decker, working on the multiplayer portion of the game, had this to say
"It's going to be awesome," he says when we ask him about the game beyond the bounds of singleplayer, "and I'll say this up front - it has to have dedicated servers."
This is great news considering the recent trend of games not shipping with dedicated server support, such as the 2007 flop of Medal of Honor: Airborne on the PC, the recent release of CoD: Modern Warfare 2 and the upcoming Battlefield Bad Company 2.
This is the first time I've seen the whole demo. I read a lot on different sites, mostly from ATI fan boys, that PhysX isn't worth the time of day. So, you mutant diatribe fan boys take a look at this and if you still think it doesn't matter, then you probably still think the horse never should have been replaced by the tank.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced that Alan Wake will be an Xbox 360 exclusive. In 2005 at E3, Remedy Entertainment said the game would be available for Xbox 360 as well as PC, but in mid-2009, plans for a PC version were put on hold. Now, they've axed it all together making the upcoming "psychological action thriller" a console exclusive. Oh well. The game will most likely be heavy on plot/dialogue and light on technology and modding ability. Have fun consolers. Us PC gamers have...... ummmm..... not a whole lot to look forward to.
Electronic Arts confirmed that Crysis 2 will be out this year, between October 1st and December 31st. Now for the details.
You play as Jake 'Nomad' Dunn.
Compared to Crysis there will be more freedom, larger gameplay areas and more tactical warfare.
Nanosuit 2 will give players more freedom in how to tackle situations in the battlefield.
Compared to the majority of console games, the console gamers will see Crysis 2's freedom and openness as a new and interesting gameplay style.
The player has again the freedom of choosing what weapons to use and how to use them, or how to take advantage of the environment.
Crysis 2 will again feature the familiar "Veni Vidi Vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered) gameplay style.
In Crysis 2, Crytek will, of course, try to surpass the previous Crysis games in graphical splendour and technical features.
Setting the events of Crysis 2 to New York City was a result of a long thought process; Crytek did not choose New York City because of "console limitations".
With three previous games set in the jungle Crytek decidedly wanted to avoid making a fourth "jungle game".
Compared to jungle, urban environment offers more opportunities for gameplay based on vertical differences and the player will have more freedom to choose how to progress and plan out attacks.
Player will be able to, for example, jump between floors and buildings, and roll down along a crater wall.
Cevat did not want to share details on Crysis 2 multiplayer... yet.
Crytek have tried to actively avoid of using dark dystopian colors and tones that have been plaguing many games these days.
As you can see, if you've been to the forums, I've done a little organization. In the past, when I've moved the Allied Assault forums, all hell broke lose. People insisted that the mapping, skinning, scripting forums be one click away. In order to conserve some space, they are now two clicks away. Sorry, but it's time for some change.
I do however have some good news. The attachment size has been upped to 6MB instead of 1. The new server has a larger drive enabling us to share it with the all of you. Any problems, please sound off in this thread.
For those of you developing maps, mods, skins etc, Fraps is an excellent way to showcase your work. Fraps 3.1.0 was released today, which includes several bug fixes and a few minor feature upgrades. Fraps will allow you to capture screen footage to your computer. From there you can upload to YouTube etc. Head on over and grab the update. Windows users only.
The folks over at Newegg must have access to a crystal ball. According to them, Medal of Honor is to be released 09/30/2010. I wonder if EA and Newegg are on the same page? I think not. I doubt Newegg has the slightest idea when EALA will stamp it gold. But, for you brave soles out there, grab your copy of Medal of Honor for $46.99 before it disappears. I can't imagine EA wouldn't ask Newegg to remove the pre-order in the not so distant future. Like tomorrow.
It seems as if DICE still has a soft spot for World War II. According to Kotaku, Battlefield Bad Company 2 has one missions that takes place on a unnamed Japanese island during World War II. It was also reported that weapons from Battlefield 1943 will also work in Bad Company 2. So, if you're looking for a dose of modern day combat with a pinch of World War II, BC2 might suffice until a game developer musters up enough courage to give us another WWII title.
