Medal of Honor is getting not one, but two bits of optional downloadable content on November 2. EA has announced a second mode and map pack (which we'll just call "Hot Zone" for short) which will hit alongside "Clean Sweep" mode and its incoming four maps. The catch is that unlike Clean Sweep, Hot Zone will require some dough--10 bucks across all three of the game's platforms, to be exact.

The mode, Hot Zone, is a King of the Hill kind of deal where teams will "fight over a designated location on a map." Like Clean Sweep, it'll ship with two brand new maps and two redesigned, on-disc maps made specifically for the mode. These two new maps, according to EA, are Hindukush Pass and Korengal Outpost. The two old, redone maps are Shahikot Valley and Helmand Valley.

== TEASER ==My gut says that this mode won't be a good fit. Medal of Honor online is all about line of sight. You won't win if, say, you run out of a corner to touch a specific, highlighted spot on a map. You're supposed to pick a spot, wait, and mow dudes down. That said, level design can make this one if EA successfully prevents any reasons to camp.

If you want to know a little bit more about Clean Sweep, feel free to check out previous coverage. In a nutshell, it's Team Last Man Standing.

Liking a game that most other people don't care much for? That is just absurd, sir. Just absurd.

I already paid 60 for the game and I feel like there aren't enough MP maps to play. They should definitely give us some more maps to play on...for free that is.
BF:BC2 didn't have that problem as much due to the size of the maps, but MoH with its smaller maps needs more variety
Not paying 10 bucks for something that should be free at this point

Kinda feels like this stuff should've been there from the get-go. Payin' 10 bucks for it doesn't sit well with me.

Looking how there were so few maps at release, it just feels wrong. Guess I'm gonna pass on the paid DLC.

My only experience of EA's project $10 has been BF:BC2, and while I liked the idea when I first heard it, in practice it fucking stinks of piss and festering lies. Don't call people "VIPs" and "reward" them by locking off content that should have been available day one.

Even with Bad Company's largish maps, the restrictions on modes resulted in you playing the same handful of maps over and over until they got tiresome. By the time they deemed their "VIPs" were ready to have the content they paid for unlocked, a lot of people were already fed up with it.

I can see this being even worse considering the size of the maps and only eight available total.

Nobody likes it. It's complete and utter crap.

I agree with Ahmad... This game is hopeless. It doesn't deserve our attention, not to mention our money.

The problem is that they charge you for access to the "service", but the way I initially understood it when EA began doing this sort of thing was that you were paying for the special network to get DLC free. Instead, you're paying for the "network" and then one (often poor) piece of DLC. Then you have the privilege of paying for the rest of it, like everyone else. Of course, if multiple people live in your household and/or you have multiple machines, that means you may then need to buy the "access" multiple times, too (as opposed to before this bullshit, when everyone had access to everything on the game if you physically owned it).

It's all a really huge turn-off and I think we'll look back this collectively as a very dark time in gaming history, about ten years down the road.

who told you that im a CoD fanboy ?

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is where it's at. and you should agree, since you're saying that the MoH MP > CoD MP, and we all know that the MoH MP is a BC2 MP clone. when i was playing the beta i zoned out for a few minutes and thought i was playing BC2

wait you're just defending a game you like, right ?
you do realize almost everyone thinks its a heavily scripted shameless MW2 rip off with mentally challenged (last gen) AI and a pathetic multiplayer component (BC2 clone), right ? this is coming from a guy who likes the MoH series, too.. it's just right there and you cant deny it. if you do, im worried about you, honestly !

@Ahmad_Metallic: I really don't care about the singleplayer, but the multiplayer I think brings its own flavor that I find appealing, it is a mix of MW2 and BFBC2 that I found myself enjoying. My only big problem with the multiplayer is lack of proper progression unlocks (too few guns) otherwise it's great.

i think you need to rephrase that, dont u think ?
as i said before, me and alot of other people thought we were playing BC2 when we played the beta. no, im not saying its similar, i said its the exact same thing, 'cept for a couple of minor details!
the only thing that reminded me that im playing MoH was the invisible walls

No I don't.
It plays quite differently from BFBC2:
The guns have much lower spread and hence faster average TTK, closer to MW2's weapons
There are kill-streaks similar to MW2
The combat objective maps have a completely different pace to Rush in BC2, with much tighter corridors and faster pace (unless your whole team is sniping)

I love BFBC2 and played the shit out of it (still do from time to time) I also enjoy MW2 from time to time.
What I found is that most people who only like one franchise and disliked the other instantly rejected MoH, but there are quite a few people who enjoy both and found MoH appealing as well.

It's not a MP without flaws, there are plenty like I said above, the limited weapon selection really bugs me. There are still CTD issues when using missiles and number of maps is a bit limited. But it offers it's own kind of experience that is enjoyed by quite a few people.

@Tennmuerti: ok i guess u dug deep enough in it to find certain qualities it has.. glad you're enjoying it. i guess not everyone is as tolerant as you! i myself tend to be tolerant aswell and not keep discussing similarities with other games and call games rip-offs, but MOH was really too much for me to accept. it had to be innovative to get my cash because at this point i do NOT need another MW2 or BC2, and sadly MOH had no innovation in it, so IMO and in many people's opinions, this game is trash

Medal of Honor online is addicting. I could not get in to BC2 because of its overall feel. I don't know what I mean by that . . . . . Anyways. MoH has a great single player campaign even though it is short. Making some Taliban dude's head literally explode with a .50 cal? Good stuff. The online is like the baby of battlefield and call of duty. Personally, I think they should have handled the online themselves. Graphics are far better than MW2. Just because MW2 is popular, does not mean it is the greatest multiplayer. It means it's a game that requires enough skill to sit in a corner and push a button. MW2 players would do fine with MoH because they feel the same. If MW2 players switch to Killzone 2 or MAG (mostly KZ tho), they would DIE. I've gone from Call of Duty to Killzone and/or MAG and failed horribly. It took a few hours to get the hang of it. Then, I went from Killzone to Call of Duty. Domination. Call of Duty is a game that any child can pick up and whoop your ass because you are actually running around instead of camping while they are just camping. ---- Killzone 2 and 3 are / will be great because of dedicated servers, INCREDIBLE graphics, and INTENSE gameplay in single player and ESPECIALLY online. I admit to being a killzone fanboy. Even though I love it, I have all of the call of duty games. I need a wide variety of multiplayer games. Happy Word EMPHASIS Day. ---- Oh, and I love MoH.

Undead Nightmare was 10 dollars and I got a 6 hour single player campaign (Which is really sad because a lot of games nowadays I pay 60 bucks for and only get an 8 hour campaign) and a bunch of multiplayer content. After what Rockstar did it's going to be extremely hard for to justify spending 10 dollars on new maps and a new game mode that should have been there from the start.

I started and finished everything I will ever do with this game in one weekend and I'm not sure there is anything that could ever get me back to it. The singleplayer is a festering pile of shit, but the multiplayer grew on me the more I played it. Unfortunately, the things I disliked about it become more annoying, too. In the end, I put it on the shelf after one weekend and I don't think I'll ever touch it, again.

I actually like that it's slower paced than Modern Warfare and Call of Duty yet doesn't have the vehicles of Bad Company. It feels just different enough to offer a little different type of game play. Unfortunately, it lacks some balance and polishing. It feels like endless "get sniped or air-striked; restart; repeat". More than other games. And, when it comes down to it, I can't see why I'd play this when I have Modern Warfare, Bad Company 2, and even Black Ops (we'll see how that pans out, of course).

I"m most certainly not going to dish out another $10 for more of the experience.
