They have also posted up their review of the game.

I just got done watching the singleplayer footage. Here are the notes I made.

sliding, LEANING that's right LEANING

friendly AI seems dumb, the seem to stand out in the open alot

request ammo from friendly AI

weather, rain

kick in doors

tracers look nice

HUD fades away, not always there, you can press a button to bring it back at any time then it will fade away again

no split screen...not that we care about that

dlc is coming, DLC not confirmed but implied

if you are physically near a friendly AI when they speak over the radio, you hear it twice their actual voice and then the radio version (seen in metro 2033 and some other games)

volumetric dust, bullet impact dust

different rate of fire modes on weapons...finally

You can cook grenades

call signs and target callouts are specific to that military unit. e.g. Navy it's not second floor it's second deck

gate explosion - dust and rubble fall from the sky and the sound echo's for some time afterwards as dose the dust

medal of honor prequel novel - tells the story leading up to the start of the game

much more squad based action (in this level anyway) quite long as well

much more authentic style of play - NO RUN AND GUN OR YOU GET DEAD

You will unable to carry huge amounts of ammo and grenades

friendly AI call targets with authentic speech - e.g contact left - with as few words as possible...not a 20 min speech

Just saw an enemy AI spawn right in front of the player wtf?

languages are spoken by the right people - no dodgy Russian/English accents

they do still say taliban in single player

the first mission takes around an 30 mins or so to playthrough, no load screens or cut scenes, everything is in the game engine. (the guy did day about 4 times though, as he was playing on hard)

console exclusive content (PS3 only) - they have found all the old assets from medal of honor front line and have rebuilt the game with hi res textures, 5.1 sound etc - comes on the blueray disk for them to play.

You forgot to say that the enemy AI is even worse, at least from what I've seen. But hey, it's on the consoles, maybe it's supposed to be stupid.

Anyway I didn't understand the thing with replaying the singleplayer levels in the shortest time and comparing with your friends, who can leave markers of their progress. I immediately thought about racing games, where you had a kind of ghostly version of you on the course running the last lap.
So I thought that maybe you could see in real time how one of your friends played that level using the same technique. On second thought, too many things would happen on screen at once, and it would probably be distracting.
But I still can't imagine what he meant with those markers.

they should drop the price tomorrow

Is SP running off the Unreal engine still?
Anyone know if there will be mod tools, or a level editor to make missions?

It's running on a, and I quote, heavily modified version of the unreal engine. So maybe but I am leaning towards no.

Apparently the game is getting not bad but not great reviews. Personally I think that bodes well for it, if all the console kiddies don't like it then it might actually be good.

Electronic Arts shares go down 6% because of the reviews.
