I just got this game and it is way cool. FPS built on the Q3 engine, based on the D-Day invasion of WWII. You actualy go through the D-Day beach assault, I must have died 20 times times before I got through. Very realistic in Single player mode. And the muli-player maps are OUTSTANDING!!! A little bit of everything in them, and much like Counterstrike in a WWII setting.
agreed 100 percent... Mayhem, i am quite obsessed with this game as well... the multi-player is loads of fun, provided you can connect to a server that is free of dial-up fools...
I have heard a lot of good stuff about this game, what are the minimum requirements? I am hopeing to build something new soon, but dont have the money to build a new system until hopefully this summer(birthday).
Have you driven the King Tiger yet? Dam, I love blowing stuff up!

I was a bit perturbed about some of the snipers though. It seemed they could see me through trees and bushes that I couldnt see them through. It was also disapointing that they could go prone and I could not.

I haven't gotten that far yet, I'm still calling in airstrikes at the bridge. But I know what you mean about the snipers having certain advantages. they can hit you from far away through trees and you have sacrifice yourself too many times looking for a muzzle flash to shoot at. I hope to finish single player mode soon because I want to try multiplayer.

Ive just finished single player to! The last mission is excellect but omg so very very hard! Its taken me a week just to complete that one mission! Feel all sad now its over but i can take pride in the fact that im the first of my mates to finish it!! I love the objective muliplayer very very good! I just have to find more time for the game!
I have this sitting on my desk, waiting to be installed.
I havent done it yet, as Ive been playing some Diablo II, and forcing myself to play through Dungeon Siege (it should really be called "Click around the map until you hear something dieing Siege")..
Might install it in a day or so, get stuck into it.

The min is 450mhz, 128 RAM, 8x CD/DVD, 1.2GB, DX8, 16MB vid card.
Recommended is: 700mhz, 32mb vid. I have been playing it with my P4 1.6 with 768 DDR and GF 4 Ti and it looks and plays great even at 1024x768 res.
Be prepared to get very angry at enemy snipers.

GRRRRRRRR don't remind me of that -- they can see you though everything and you can't see them ....oohhh part did utterly piss me off...but I got even ... grenades are great :D
...and the rocket launcher whores in multi-player...

Have yet to install it. Although I hear nothing but good about it.

Have you noticed that at long distances, the rocket tends to stray from the target?

WWII "bazookas" were not very acurate. They were intended to knock out tanks at 50 yds or less. I am actually surprised at the acuracy of some of the weapons. The Thompson was the epitome of spray and pray. It seems more accurate in the game, although the recoil effects are VERY accurate. Hold that trigger and the muzzle climbs.
That's exactly what I mean. I love the realism factor of the game. :D
pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-PLING!
gotta love it! i was watching "band of brothers", and when those clips were popping out of the garand rifles during battle sequences it was like i knew what they were going through...
Just tried multiplayer last night and IT ROCKS! I just have to find my way around a bit more, in one free for all I was sniped as soon as I respawned. I'm using a cable modem and I play as Grunt Murdock
i'd love to play mohaa but cannot.
the win98se pc i wanted to use, gets to the splash screen and sits there (the hdd and cd lights flash)
its a athlon tb-1.2ghz with 512ram and a radeon 7200 64mb vid card, montego 2 sound card, 2 x ibm 40gb hdds.
i got all the latest drivers inc dx8.1
my half-life, star trek, gp3 and similar all run wonderful so this is really annoying.
mohaa (and midtown madness 2) both stop - i mean stop, i left them for 40mins once.
on my win2k pc, mohaa plays for a few seconds and then locks up... i think thats the sound card so i now have sonicfury with latest drivers, etc but have not tried it since the upgrade.
any ideas?
Try a reinstall. If you can't uninstall the game from add/remove programs, you'll have to use regedit and clean all mohaa entries from your registry. Run a clean install (Scandisk, Dfrag) then when you reinstall the game accept the DX install. Hope it works out for you.
Did you also install the patches?

Set your desktop resolution to 640x480 or 800x600, (whichever is the lowest available for your machine)and 16 bit color, start the game, adjust video properties in the game to prefered settings, exit game, reset desktop to original settings, restart game. If that does not fix the problem try different specific refresh rates.

i'll try that setting video suggestion - sounds intriguing.
