At the beginning of each project, the team at Treyarch digs in and goes to work on engine enhancements with a focus on supporting the demands of the new environments and gameplay for our next title. For Black Ops, it was important to the team to have incredible photo-realistic lighting, huge draw distances, explosive destruction and effects, and mind-blowing character details.

Blackhats has added a 26 player cod 4 server, we are going to be playing a tactical type game play, with custom maps. I will be working on this with other BH members to get a real fun mix of both maps and server gameplay together. May be a week or so before it’s ready to really rock, but it is being worked on.
June 16th, 2010 — bash
Literally days before CoD:BO held its community event in Santa Monica, EA organized its own get-together for the new Medal of Honor reboot, Tier 1.
Perennial BASH guest Jim (aka Rudedog) from FPSAdmin.com was at that event and we have him on the program to talk about what he saw down there in LA.
As a companion to this cast, we highly suggest you read the summary of the MoH Tier 1 Community event on his site: MoH Reboot Preview. It’s all you’ll need to read to get yourself ready to, yet again, take up arms in the lethal MoH universe.
See you all online!
Though EALA is doing the single-player for Medal of Honor, it’s DICE (makers of Battlefield: Bad Company 2) handling the multiplayer component. While the expectation may be for DICE to offer up Battlefield’s multiplayer with a different coat of paint, that’s not the case at all. Medal of Honor’s multiplayer certainly has elements of DICE’s design heritage, but it’s more about ground infantry combat. The battles, 12-on-12 online matches featuring special forces versus insurgents, are intense and brutal. You die quickly thanks to “faster bullets” as DICE describes it, and a lack of health packs. This is war. Good luck surviving. Read the rest of this entry »
