There was a time when I was excited to play the Medal of Honor beta but after getting my hands dirty I don't think I would have missed much. I came into the beta with the mindset of Medal of Honor possibly being a Call of Duty killer and also that it looked a lot like Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Well, one of those are correct.

Let it be clear that I'm not writing this as a Call of Duty "fanboy," I've always liked the Call of Duty multiplayer but if I actually enjoyed Medal of Honor I would definitely play it. There are 3 c.lasses to choose from: Rifleman, Special Forces or Sniper. Each c.lass has their own upgrades and weapons to unlock by playing and doing well in a match. Hopefully there are more weapons to choose from when the full game is released because even though the different c.lasses provide separate unlocks I feel it will become a lot like Battlefield in the sense that the majority of players will unlock the last weapon and use it the most since theoretically, it will be the best.

A major problem I saw was spawning. It's a cool idea to be able to spawn on someone directly in the fight but there were moments I was able to shoot at one guy and get a triple kill just from others spawning on this player. I've also been on the other end of this so many times I found myself spawning back at the main base all the time.

It's also pretty easy to get triple kills when the weapons don't really have recoil. I don't care how badass you are, it's impossible to keep an M16 steady while going full auto. It would be ok if Medal of Honor was going for the arcade approach but this doesn't seem to be the case to anyone that's seen the trailers.

Medal of Honor has some potential if it would fix some of the problems that were encountered in the beta but that's why it is a beta. I just hope it's not too late to fix the problems. In a nutshell, if feels way to much like Battlefield which was expected since it was done by DICE, I was just expecting something new and exciting.
