Had a blast the past few hours over at a mates house, playing this game with a few friends. He bought the game for his 360, to test out his brand new High-def 46 inch LCD telly, and hooked up via the VGA connector, it looked AMAZING! After flicking the moths out of my wallet and realising any hope of a 360 is several months of saving away, I stumbled home wondering if my pitiful computer would run this graphically impressive game?
I can get Gears of War to run great, not at the highest res, but decent enough.
So, anyone reckon it'll run 'reasonably well' on my mid range machine?
XP Media Centre SP2
Pentium D Dual Core 3.40Ghz
2Gig RAM
Nvidia GeForce 7500 LE <----Don't laugh you bastards! :P
I know I could do with a better gfx card :rolleyes:

Yeah, seen it a while back, Ben Croshaw is pure class, always loved his reviews, always agreed with them for the most part also. Even his MOH Airborne review was dead on, but even so, the game still remains fun, even with all it's sickening patriotic bollocks. As for the doom fortress, I can't really remember anything specific, although many levels seem to involve storming a fortress of somekind. It does get VERY Castle Wolfenstein and silly as the game progresses! I think Croshaw forgets though, the first Medal Of Honour game was very fantasy orientated, they only became more focused on realism as each game in the series came out.
I'm still wondering how well this would run on my machine though?

Thanks, but I never 100% trust official min spec's. It always seems best to hear peoples actual experience of the game. I'm sure it'll run (although Timeshift didn't!?) but just how well is another matter.
EDIT: Duh, I should learn to pay more attention! That wiki link you sent me states MOH Airborne uses the Unreal 3 engine, same as Gears of War, which I already know runs great on my PC.
I'm sorted, thanks ;)

:lol:
EDIT: Just been playing (19th March) the PC version of MOH Airborne, and what a loada' SHITE it is compared to the Xbox360 version. The graphics options are shite, and you cannot pick or specifically choose which effects to switch on/off, ie, that STUPID motion blur effect. Fuck me, does this guy look left/right/up/down at the speed of sound or something, because that's the only way I'd imagine your peripheral vision bluring like that, unless it's a medical condition!? :blink: :huh: Whatever it is, it's shite. Oh, and the popup is attrocious. windows, doors and other details simply appear from thin air, like someones just cast a magic spell or soemthing. Your fellow soldiers lag/jerk around like your playing online on some ancient 56k connection! Unbelievably the controls are shite also, and for once using the gamepad on the 360 version is much better, more intuative and as a result more efficient and accurate.
I'm really stunned just how bad it is.
Call of Duty 4 pisses on this from several MILES up!
