This is for server admins who want to use PBSetup to install or update Punkbuster into Medal of Honor Airborne.

At the time of this post the current version of PBSetup was 3.4 which has an issue with the MOH Airborne v1.3 dedicated server pack. When running PBSetup and selecting 'Add a Game' and then selecting 'Medal of Honor: Airborne', PBSetup provides an incorrect default 'Game Path'. This is strange because PBSetup works OK with the full game version. There is only an issue with the server pack.

The incorrect given path is..
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne\UnrealEngine 3\MOHAGame\

There should be no space betweeen the e and 3



It should be..
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne\UnrealEngine3\MOHAGame\


So, all you have to do is remove the space in the 'Game Path' line and you're good to go.
Even Balance, Inc. have been notified about this error.

Saving all of your Stats etc in 'Medal of Honor Airborne' is quick and easy. If you're reinstalling the game for whatever reason then you may want to do this, particularly if you are progressing through your medals and wanting to add more to the excellent re-play value of this game. One of the best singleplayer games of all time in my opinion.

The Medal of Honor Airborne server settings have been finalised. Thanks to AJ and all the pub players who joined! The gametype is set to 'Objective'. It's set to run 4v4 comp style. The first round attack/defend teams are chosen randomly. The losing team thereafter defends on the following round. First to win three rounds wins the map.

As an aid to players trying to coordinate team play, several macros have been built into the chat parser for Breakthrough.

I recently moved house so had no internet connection for a while. Times like this it's all about the single-player mode for me. I have to say that MOH Airborne single-player is awesome! Great atmosphere, superb graphics and not too damn long. The award system keeps you interested as well and definitely adds to re-playability... more on this later!

Make sure you have the latest patch! (v1.3) details - here -
-note: you need to install v1.2 patch first

I highly recommend this game :)
>> LOVE THE SHOTGUN ;P


v1.3 multiplayer test server coming soon

Well this game is getting better after each patch. Some would say too little too late but the fact remains its evolving into a good multiplayer game in my opinion.

This latest patch (v1.3) adds new maps, Objective mode (like the original MOHAA), bug and balance fixes. This in combination with the previous patches gives us a top game for online play! It also still has punkbuster support.

Full details here...
EA : Medal of Honor : Airborne : News
-note: you need to install v1.2 patch first!
-patches also available from GameArena

Turns out we can use the sniper rifle in the MOH Airborne demo with a little bit of 'tweaking'.
Thanks to TOG|303 for bringing this to my attention. Found - here -


Here's what you have to do.
• enable console
• use the ghost command to get to where the sniper rifle is located then get back to the action

Here's how.
1) Right-click the Airborne Demo desktop icon, select Properties

If you don't have a desktop icon then go to the demo install and create a shortcut ie. right click MOHADemo.exe - Send To - Desktop (create shortcut)
default location is...
C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne Demo\UnrealEngine3\Binaries

2) Go to the Shortcut tab, look for the Target: line.
3) the line will end with: \MOHADemo.exe" (including the " mark). Add a single space after the " , then type in: -enableconsole
4) The line should now look something like this (first part may be different depending on where you installed it): "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Airborne Demo\UnrealEngine3\Binaries\MOHADemo.exe" -enableconsole
5) Click Apply, the OK.
6) Start the demo.
7) Once in gameplay, press the tilde key ( ~ ) to bring up the console.

8) Upon landing, use the ghost command in the console (press tilde (~), type ghost, press ENTER) and goto the area where the demo ends. Follow the road till you come to the dead end with the barbwire and in the building right beside it, there is aMG42 in the window of the first floor, you can go up the stairs and find a Springfield sniper rifle laying on the floor with a beam of light shining down upon it. Go back to the action and use the ghost command again to take part in the game.


I recommend going to the roof tops to test the sniper rifle :)
note: press your jump key to hold your breath to stabilise the rifle.


This is now my favourite sniper rifle! Before this, the one from FarCry was my favourite. I love the scope and zoom action and the non-toggle aim setup. I do however think the damage is too high. For singleplayer this is ok but it will be terrible in multiplayer. I was getting kills when I deliberately shot legs.

Only time will tell us how it will be in the multiplayer!





TIP:
-you can enable an FPS counter by entering the console and typing stat fps
-to turn off simply type it in again
