NOTHING is more authentic than interviews of fake soldiers in front of green screens.

There's a lot of face and neck stabbing, if you like to stab dudes in the face and neck.

"Nothing is as authentic as Medal of Honor." 
  
As soon as I saw that, I groaned, and said "Lemon posted this." 
 
And now I am groaning again. Eternally.

Nothing is more authentic than GB forum members saying stop ruining jokes from the Bombcast when 98% of their posts are jokes from the Bombcast.

Tried the beta just a minute ago. Graphics and gameplays seems ok, but it isn't very stabil. Hope the full game doesn't have this problem.

Maybe it's because I'm Canadian but I don't get the appeal. 
Doesn't real war suck...like a lot. Can't it fuck you up mentally? 
Why would I want my games to do that authentically when they can do stupid crazy shit like use an infinite parachute instead?

The game's beard system is modular. You earn WOHP (Whiskers of Honor Points), and can buy various styles, unlock lengths as you progress, add dye patterns, and shave in decals...
Also, your partner's codename is Schick®. He adds the reg mark just to be a wise-ass.

If only their faces weren't pixelated to fuck then they would have actually been able to see the gameplay footage, like the Apache-on-rails segement, and said "No. Just... No."
 
The PC "Beta" is bad, real bad. Some of the worst map design in a long time. Rubberbanding, rubbish hitboxes, completely imbalanced sniper class, tiny maps...
 
But that's all going to be magically solved next week, because this is a "Beta" to stress server loads. Right.

It's unfortunate that the single player looks so good because the multiplayer is pretty "meh"

Dudes have given up on the sanctitiy of human life for their beliefs. Hard bread to chew on I bet.
 
I'm a pretty good FPS player. An hardend FPS veteran. My life expectency in a combat situation as an active combatant in an 'authentic' FPS is 90 seconds.
 
I will never go into combat in real life if I can prevent it. I can't deal with such odds. Much respect to those who know their odds and still are willing to put themselves on the line.
 
I believe this world's various societies have inconsolable differences that only war can purge from existence. What we see in Afghanistan is a mere prelude to the ode of war and death that's still to come.
 
Albeit it's more likely to be a war of scientists and not of soldiers (weaponized germs/viruses anyone?) and it might not even be recognized as a war, but only as an unimaginable naturally occuring tragedy - such devastation is upon us.
 
Hell - all world is preparing for it eversince human civilzation began and we've yet to stop building the stage for our final drama to play out.

My most anticipated FPS of this year, about time something OTHER then call of duty is coming out.
 
Played the hell out of the beta and loved it, im sure most people, well call of duty fanboys will hate on it and that's fine everyone has an opinion.

Those aren't actually active Special Operations soldiers. If we are lucky they might have been at some point, but they aren't anymore.

So true. I just played the open beta, and realized that they have fixed absolutely nothing from closed beta. This will suck. 
 
Also, what the fuck? ARMA says hi, EA.

That's the multiplayer, these dudes are talking about the singleplayer (which is being developed by an entirely different developer.)  So for all we know the single player could actually be great.

All we've seen of the single-player so far (afaik) is the sniper segement and the Apache segement. The sniper video looked good but could easily be deceiving. The Apache-on-rails gameplay  on the other hand was atrocious. You can't make videos bragging about your authenticity and then make something like that.
 
edit: oh and that video where you have to run up and place red smoke on an MG nest because you don't have a laser designator, a 203 with smoke rounds or any common sense. But at least you have a SAW with no recoil.
