Just played the Medal of Honor: Frontline demo....WOW!!

I bought the OPSM just to play this demo (show you how much I want this game). My god! the graphics are incredible! The character models look great, and the environment in the demo felt so "Private Ryan" it made me shake.

The sound was spot-on as well. That German officer interrogating the GI made me want to blow his head off (which I did :)).

I have some issues with the control, but this was only a demo. I'm sure the actual game will have more control schemes. There was some clipping too, but again....

June 6th cannot come soon enough!

The demo was cool. It annoyed me that you couldn't reverse the look controls so down was up and up was down. Anyway, I will most likely be skipping on the game. The lack of blood just screams "We wanted to make more money so we bumped it down to a teen rating.". Yeah, I am missing out on a good game for something as trivial as blood. I don't want Mortal Combat style blood, just something a little more realistic, know what I mean? Eh, who am I kidding, i'll probably buy it anyway when the game lowers in price....

I absolutely love the Frontline demo (except for the lack inverted aiming). It's everything the PS1 games were but better.

can somebody tell me how it stacks up againt Allied Assault? a friend said the graphics pale in comparison and the game (to me at least) seems to borrow a lot from the pc game (like the omaha beach stage).

My PC can't quite do Allied Assault justice but they same to be in the same quality league to me. I might like Frontline more but AA definitely controls better. Frontline feels like the PS1 games whereas AA feels like a different series. I definitely plan on getting both games.

i certainly hope the "dual shock" bug is no longer included.

Any word on keyboard + mouse support?

I've been wanting to play one of these games since the first one showed up on the PSX. Was a really cool game from what I saw of it.

I haven't heard any word on mouse/keyboard control.

Companies are sorely neglecting the PS2's USB ports and it's really starting to piss me off. Even PC ports like Deus Ex don't offer mouse/keyboard as far as I know.

You could try Allied Assault on PC. Guarenteed support there, and at the very least, a much higher resolution.

Yes, I could, if I had a PC. ^_^

Well, damn, that blows. I'm guessing your using a friends puter to post here? In any case, there doesn't seem to be much hope then...

Er, no, that means I run one of many alternate computing sources - in my case, a Mac.

Well then, this news might cheer you up a bit.

Huh, cool. Mac users don't typically get EA games, unless it is huge stuff like the Sims, so I wasn't counting on getting this. Neato.

Now get me Red Alert 2 GOD DAMNIT!!!

Mouse + keyboard on a console game = zero fun.

Actually having a DC hooked up to a VGA monitor using a mouse and keyboard is pretty cool.

I remember playing my DC like this and my sister came and asked me when I was going to get off the computer so she could check her email. I told her that I wasn't on my computer and she gave me the weirdest look.

I tell you... if they release a VGA box, Keyboard % Mouse (not happening, but still) for Xbox - I will BUY them AND another Xbox to set by my Thrid monitor (I can run a blind server... I don't NEED the 3rd Monitor) to play Xbox games. That'd be smoothness.

Hey - I can always do that with PS2... if they get off thier arses and make a VGA box and support the KB & M USB.
