Our friend and compatriot Andrew Yoon recently got his hands on the much-desired
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, and we bubble over with jealousy after reading his impressions. It looks like EA is trying very, very hard to avoid letting us down (maybe they're listening!) with this shooter; from all signs,
Heroes 2 looks to be a rich, deep
FPS title with enough features to please even the pickiest of gamers. You can use the Zapper or not, you can choose between a light-gun style Arcade mode and traditional campaign mode, and best of all, everything seems to control like a dream.
Heroes 2 appears to be taking a page from Retro's book with
Metroid Prime 3, and the controls just feel
right with the Wiimote -- which is exactly what we should be able to expect from all future shooters on the console.
It's safe to say that between the above and the friend-code-free online multiplayer, we're stoked for this release. Even the negatives -- simple objectives, uncomplicated enemy AI -- can't get us down. Bring on the soldier boys!

I want more video previews of this game. I have been following this game since it was announced and I have already paid for my copy of the game. EA really needs to put some marketing bucks into this game starting in the next few weeks. With the Nov. 13 release date just around the corner and as good as this game looks and sounds I think some advertising is in order.

@5
I would expect the same kind of anonimity and lack of communication as the non-friend online battles in SSBB. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No, i'd expect it to run similarly to Madden 08 online
except hopefully, you know, without the suck

In my opinion Madden 08 is playing very well online
have you played it online lately? It's a much tighter experience than when the game released in my opinion.
Anyway... MP3 is a great game to be taking a page from.
I just don't see how 32 dudes online is going to be lag free. Are they talking four people a television set or what?
To poster number six, I agree entirely. Ever play Halo 2 online? It's like visiting the zoo. I was playing
one day and this guy is just saying the n word over and over.Nope, no thanks unacceptable. It boggles my mind
that video game technology has come so far and people
just use it to spout idiotic B.S.. I'd like a game where people use modern technology, like the Xbox headset,
to stratagize or at least communicate like human beings.
talk nonsense.

the more i see of this game the more impressed i get, ea for once is doing something very good!
its also like having two diff games in one and on the rails game and a normal campaign game gives other console owners something to be a little envious off at long last!
