Gameplay from an entire match in the brand new "Medal of Honor" beta set to run from October 4 to October 7, 2010.  This is certainly not the best match I've had, and I put myself into a lot of situations I could have avoided or approached differently to improve my performance, but our team did win in the end and that's all that matters.  If anything, I'm most disappointed that I didn't get to plant any of the charges myself since I'm usually the front-runner in the objectives category, but every dog has its day!

This map is named "Shahikot Mountains" and the game mode, called "Combat Mission," revolves around Taliban defenders fighting against American attackers who are attempting to break through the defense in order to plant and protect charges until they explode.  In this game, I was on the American side.

So far, the beta has been average at best.  The visuals are quite nice and the sounds are pretty loud and powerful, but I dislike the major emphasis on camping (as you'll see often in this video), the complete lack of recoil with automatic weapons, the overpowered semi-auto sniper rifles, and the linear map design.  I wish there was a "squad" feature, too, or something to promote teamwork.  Another gripe I have is that the interface doesn't do a very good job telling you about the kill streak rewards you've earned.

Overall, I think Medal of Honor's multiplayer component is a huge missed opportunity.  With the Frostbite engine in place and the team at DICE helping develop it, Medal of Honor could have been a truly incredible experience.  Instead, it's more or less an average, fast-paced multiplayer shooter that attempts to compete with Modern Warfare and carries with it a few similarities to Bad Company 2 but is as good as neither of those two games.
