Surprise! Medal of Honor: Airborne demo is go

Not only can they not get their demo out on time, but now they're jumping the gun on the second release date. Sheesh! EA just placed the on again, off again Medal of Honor: Airborne demo onto the XBLM that was supposed to make an appearance on the 23rd only to get pushed back to the 27th, but it is here now on the 25th. Release date ignored, the demo is available to all Xbox Live regions, weighs in at a satisfying 972MBs and features campaign gameplay from the Operation Husky objective. Next time EA better be punctual with these demo release dates ... we're an angry bunch when we don't get what we were promised on time. Happy parachuting!

22. ccc: congratulations, you win at the internet =)

i thought the game was pretty good. not amazing in any respect, but i had some good fun playing it. i won't be buying it on launch, got too many good games at the moment, but i'll definitely consider a rental at some point, or buying it if i see it second hand in the future.

23. Yeah, guess I got mad, oh well.

This game isn't the worst fps but it is far from the best. I used to be a medal of honor fan but it pales in comparrasion to COD 2 or 3 in my opinion. Like I said b4, it's barely any better than hour of Victory and will be easly over looked with the other games hitting.

And as far as using the letter U goes, I'll use it if I want to. Its not like I use it in a offical review or other form of publication. Its casual lingo, dont like it cause it slows ur reading then dont read it.

24. Aiming was kinda hard to do. I was hitting them and they weren't falling well at least it looked like i was hitting them.

25. I actually liked the demo. All the complaints relating to "i can't shoot waaaah", all I can say is "learn to aim". I was pulling off head-shots left and right with the Kar98 and the M1.

I really liked the sprint+bash attack, and the leaning. Leaning was real useful for those tricky shots. The running/jumping animations were a nice touch that made it feel a little more complete.

26. Oh. But I couldn't score a headshot with the thompson to save my life. Not sure how the sights work :/

27. THIS GAME IS AWESOME, I don't know why everybody is crying, i believe Call of Duty stayed wayyyyy behind.

28. I'm not quite sure why everyone is hating on this game so much. I wasn't too interested in it before, but I had a lot of fun with the demo.

Initially yes, your weapons aren't incredibly accurate but once you start getting the Marksmanship awards they actually get quite good. (I think this is a great idea for a weapon upgrade system, by the way.)

Also, the way you can control how far you are crouched or leaning to the side while in aiming mode is just great. I -hate- when I crouch in one of these games and all of a sudden I'm too short to shoot over sandbags or other cover. This system takes care of that problem.

I won't rush right out and buy this game, but at the very least I'll rent it and give it a playthrough. I might buy it if I see a bargain.
