Medal of Honor: Warfighter

Medal of Honor: Warfighter Could Ship on Two Discs, With a HD Texture Install

Looks like Medal of Honor: Warfighter may ship on two discs, one of which will contain HD textures.

Battlefield 3 took a similar approach last year, as the developers struggled to squeeze all of the necessary data onto just one disc. Now it seems as if Warfighter may follow suit.

That’s according to senior designer Ben Jones who said, “I think [two discs] might be a reality for us as well. It’s DVD format versus Blu-ray and you’re going to see that split at certain times, especially with the amount of content that we’re delivering.

“I believe we are [including an optional HD texture installation], but I don’t know that we can confirm that. We haven’t had it confirmed to us.”

It’s certainly a possibility then. Tell me, are any of you put off by that? Or are you pleased to know that the game is pushing DVDs beyond their limits?

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is out on October 23rd in the US and October 26th in the UK.

Judging by the beta, it NEEDS a HD pack...

I don't really mind a game coming on two discs. I've been enjoying the beta and I'm thinking of buying this game, but I just can't.(Other games that I really love are also coming out)

Isn't a bit late to be unsure if this? The game is only a few weeks away from being released into the wild.

I'm okay with the increase in graphical quality this would bring, but I'm less excited at the HDD space it would need, especially since I've taken to installing my games before playing them.

What i am put off by is the fact the senior designer doesn't know at this stage whether the game will be shipping with a HD pack.

I assume by "we haven't had it confirmed to us" he is referring to the suits from EA???

Haha I couldn't agree more. The fact that we're dealing with if's, but's and maybe's with only a few weeks until release says a lot about the game, and the team behind it.

Regardless of whether it's the developer or the publisher, this is a pretty shocking revelation.

Nobody within their right mind is going to put down a pre-order on a 'maybe'.

"Oh yeah, pre-order Black Ops 2 and you might get a free map pack". Just no. Tell me straight or don't tell me at all.

The travesty that is the public BETA has already left this game FUBAR, both game content-wise and also sales-wise. Sucks to be EA.

This game needs much more than a HD texture pack to save it, haha.

I don't see why FPS just don't all ship multiplayer and singleplayer on seperate discs now.

@11 Dr Popodopolus, I couldn't agree more. It's super sad too as I had high hopes, but they have been ducking questions from me for months. Plus, they have been leading me on regarding hardcore gameplay footage which is petty and strange.

Anyhow beta is an underwhelming mess. I don't care what the BS hype machine's been saying, Medal of Honor is subpar as far as this beta has shown. Danger Close needs to take design and programing lessons from DICE and then amp up quality control. Having plenty of enthusiasm and chasing CoD hasn't and isn't going to help matters either.

I hope so.

It's one of the things on my list that would need to happen to keep me from stopping my pre order. Now they just need to address a few other problems(being able to switch fireteam).

If they do end up doing an HD texture pack it isn't going to matter, the game is still going to be packed full of glitches like the first one was. So you're basically going to be able to see yourself getting fucked out of achievements with a nice texture for the background.

Im judging by the time spent in BETA. The graphics needs HD pack for sure, i mean, what the hell? Diablo 2 had better graphics! And the game play, i must say for sure - I will NOT play this stupid Hotspot mode, its freaking MW mode! Random spawns, no sence of tactics or anything.

I fail to see how they are pushing DVD's? They're not that's why MoH will either release on one looking like shit or on 2 with HD option on 2nd disc...

I thought the beta was terrible. It looked like an alpha build for cod4, or just something that was 10 years old, maybe worse... I only played 2 minutes and shut it off. No buy. Maybe a rent for campaign, maybe...

I must admit i had some hopes the MP would be different ot special in the way as it has this buddy system what let you play as a fireteam what basicly means working together is key, but after a full go on the beta...hmm well.. it looks okay but it def could looks alot better to be honest and the gameplay? As far that goes as soon you get in a match you can tell who,s playing COD alot and who,s not because if your not then you will die alot and fast. I agree it def needs some work and for sure a HD pack, lets be honest BF3 would looks like crap without it aswell or at least not better then the many other FPS games out there. The fact that you can play up to 12 different teir 1 operatives from different countries not saves the day either, altho a nice touch and idea.

BF3 take up way too much space on my hard drive. I wonder if this game will be similar (not buying it based on the beta, but whatever).

it's ridiculous they need approval for an hd pack, you'd think EA would push this hard.
