MOHAA - how popular among Apolytoners?
Noticed on last night's birthday chat that Dan and somone else who's name I can'r remember had played MOHAA (Medal of Honor Allied Assault), so I thought it would be nice to know how popular MOHAA actually is among us on Poly.

Me in person is addicted to MOHAA like to the Civ series, and I'm therefor a quite frequent player of the game.

Some additinal questions...
General thoughts about the game? Are you a member of a MOHAA clan?

Feel free to small talk about MOHAA.

I was thinking of buying it, but the demo severely insulted my comp - it suggested I should play with 16 colours and 640x480 res.

16 colours? I think you're thinking of 16-bit colours.

Jug,

what kind of a PC are you really using? Still using ol' good VGA graphics?

AFAIK MOHAA only runs automatically in 640x480, 16 mode in Safe Mode, and not as installation default. But I haven't actually played the demo, so I'm not sure about how to adjust the settings in it. But if it's like in the full release MOHAA, choose Settngs in the Map Room of Cabinet War Rooms (that means the main menu). Settings is found in the left corner at the radio. Choose Graphics and choose the right resolution.

ADG,

it's quite easy to understand that SP was boring for you, but you shouldn't expect too much live action, like in i.e. Sniper Town. Omaha Beach and Fort Schmerzen are the two most actionfilled levels available in SP. But just wait when you get to the grande finale; escaping from Fort Schmerzen when the building is about to explode and you're running for your life.

Why buy MOHAA when I can play Day of Defeat for Half-Life for free?

I've tried MOHAA on a friend's computer, and watched them play it several (million) times, and aside from the graphics (Quake 3 engine), the gameplay isn't very impressive.

As a person who has historically hated FPS I must say that MOHAA is awesome! I think that if you're into WW2 and are not that fussy about realistic physics modelling ala WW2 Online than you will enjoy MOHAA.

I have never been so entertained with a FPS until I bought MOHAA. The details in the game such as weapons, landscapes, etc. are very faithful to history. The gameplay while maybe not as sophisticated as other products out there is still very entertaining. Just my opinion though...................

HD,

you stole my words, really. IMHO I share your opinion. For instance in Trondheim I was looking at the poster artwork, when some SS soldiers tried to gun down with their MP40's, but a certain Lt. Powell was more interested in looking at the details; or later on aboard the U-boat it's nice to walk around without having rush anywhere (before setting the explosives). I'm not really either into FPS games usually, but the WWII theme caused me to buy it. And now I'm hooked. The details are quite exact, except the fact that the Tiger II tank is missing its MG.

Now, tell me is the game RTS (real-time strategy), TBS(turn-based strategy), FPS (first-person shooter) or TPS (third-person shooter)? Or a mixture of some of those? The website looked so horrible that I didn't want to look any further...

Rasbelin:

Glad to see you share the same views as I do for MOHAA. That mission in the U-boat was cool. The details of the interior I think were pretty accurate and yes you don't get the feel of having to rush around killing or being killed. The only time I got really stressed out was the Omaha beach landing and sniper town scenarios.

aaglo:

I would consider MOHAA a FPS type game, but not one where you mindlessly go around killing everything in sight. There's plenty of time to just go around exploring the game world too. Give it a try!

16 colours. Think this is something Win 3.1 was capable of. I've read this a loooooong time ago in the manual of my graphic card:

16 colours the newest feature ever...or something like this. They really bragged with it

Interesting. How would you compare it to Deus Ex? I'm not a FPS fan but if it is more about stealth and acting intelligently than mowing down hordes of Nazi's with a dozen silly weapons then I may get it.

That's also one of the reasons I don't like MOHAA, I don't like WW2 in games... For me, games should be: "Present time, future or long time ago (about 1900 AD - BC)" The time between 1900 and 1990, is a boring time in computer games...

Well, everyone can't like everything. I just happen to be interested in the WWII.
