Medal of Honor: Airborne Demo 2900XT

This is the latest installment in the series of the always as mediocre shooter known as Medal of Honor, which does nothing at all to the super-old genre. This game combines the old Medal of Honor with Call of Duty and Brothers in Arms. But what's new with this game apart from the rest of the WW2 shooters?... Well... Nothing. You've seen it all before and you'll be happy it's just a demo on the screen and not the retail product since this is as ever a wasted production from EA.

But for the performance it runs good, looks decent, basic Unreal-engine seen in basicly all WW2-shooters today (as it feels) and isn't looking that fantastic. I didn't find any title-specific Anti-Aliasing which is bad, I didn't take my time adding xAA support in ATiTools since the game isn't enough a deal to spend 4MB of extra physical memory on.

The AI is so stupid you can tell they're pure EA. Only minutes after the Demo was launched they also launched a AI mod that *might* (I don't know yet) make the enemy anything but static Italian statues with German weapons.

When not recording I hit a 50-90FPS. Never below 45FPS whatever happend. When I recorded using Fraps 2.9.1 the frame-rate obviously dropped, back to 30-50FPS (50FPS was set as cap). The game will run solid on most new rigs, even on the lower level of price.

Rig concludes:
MSI K9A Platinum, X580 Crossfire.
AMD Athlon X2 6000+
2GB OCZ ATi Crossfire Certified RAM (800mhz, CL-auto)
Sapphire HD 2900XT (Catalyst 7.8)
Creative X-fi Xtreme Gamer (CMSS-3D, 100% Crystalizer)
200GB, 7200RPM Barracuda (IDE)

The demo can be found on basicly every major website for gaming files.

IDE hard drive? ...even 2004 motherboards have SATA

@nelizmastr

This video is from 2007 - and for that matter there are still IDE-harddrives and optical drives sold today so there certainly are still a base of users for the older standards still today.

I have this game and my pc well exceeds the requirements but the corners are so jagged. How come I can't find any anit aliasing options in the menus?

Since it's Unreal 3 and at the time the game was released there was some problems adding AA filters in Unreal 3 applications as the engine usually makes up to that via easier-on-the-performance post processing filters.

what's your problem? i don't mean any disrespect, but medal of honor brought some great moments. although i agree with you that call of duty (especially 4 and 2) were the best, i don't like the fact that you have to cuss of games because you don't like them. some people do and that doesn't do them justice. i really wish that people on youtube can be a little bit more decent...
