IGN has released an exclusive preview of the new Medal of Honor game, and it goes into some nice details.
Most notable features are:
- Leaning returns in the singleplayer.
- Mission briefings in between each level. Here's hoping it will be like the Airborne briefings.
- It's possible to ask friendly AI for mags.
- It's possible to slide while running.
- The combat shown seems to be the same from the Leave a Message trailer. The other soldiers make references to the D-Day landings, which is a reference to Jimmy Patterson's landing in Medal of Honor: Frontline.
- The chopper shown in the Gunfighters preview is on rails. It also flows from the other mission, where the character gets bogged down by enemy fire. That's why they were blowing up that village.
- There's an amount of environmental destructability with the chopper.
- Deuce and Dusty are introduced in the level afterwards. The guy who's talking in the background is Dusty, the guy with the beard.
- After going through the HVT and Fallen Angel trailers about a dozen times, I think it's safe to conclude that DICE has tried to make reload-cancelling as hard as possible. The M4 add-time takes place just a quarter second before the animation is over, same for the M9. The FN-2000 seems to have slightly quicker add-time, just as the magazine is a quarter-way into the well, and the snipers seem to be the best candidates for reload-cancelling, as the addtime is just before the 'cocking' animation takes place.
In conclusion, it seems to me like the singleplayer is adding a lot of features to the Medal of Honor gameplay style, while preserving older features. It also seems that the story will flow together much better than Airborne. In addition, the EOtech holographic sight is the most realistic I've seen yet.
