  1. Medal of Honor is more than just a reboot of a storied franchise. It takes the FPS genre to a whole new level.

    Good news: This is not Call of Duty. Bad news: This is not Call of Duty. Interesting environs and fast paced action can't hide more than a few story holes and the overall stupidity of opponents. [Issue#197]

    Medal of Honor is just following the crowd, with no true identity to call its own. [Issue#185, p.70]

  1. Very solid and enjoyable single player experience. It's very obvious the developers took the advice from actual members of the special forces community and tried to incorporate their experiences into the game. It suffers from some scripting issues, but nothing that will delude the experience on the first play through. The story is easier to follow and isn't as irrational as say MW2, so that was refreshing. About an average length of 6 hours. The multi-player on the other hand is a bit rough around the edges. It's clear they have a solid idea, but the maps and weapons have a lot of balance issues that ultimately takes away from the experience. It needs a bit more refinement and customer feedback before being on the same level as a Call of Duty or Battlefield game. Expand

  2. Call of Duty series is better. But if you like war shooters you have to play this. The campaign is very good, has very intense moments, and its varied. I bought this game ONLY for the campaign. And its good. I Love war shooter games The sound is excellent. I played with headphones and the effects and music are top notch. The graphics are not that good, it uses Unreal 3 engine for SP portion and Frostbite for MP. On SP, it looks very good on some parts but overall the looks are mediocre and it requires a lot of horsepower where other games do not (Crysis plays better on my pc...). Textures are bland, enemies move weird, cant shoot ANYTHING except enemies, particles are crap and for a PC it has a lot of tearing. The gameplay is very good on most parts. But the game has bugs. Its ridden with bugs, some gamebreaking bugs are terrible and needs fixing as soon as possible (search for Hellfire bug). I did not play MP portion though. Recommend it for SP only and only for fans.

    I keep reading that MoH's ambition was to create a realistic FPS that aimed to immerse the gamer in a challenging and "realistic" simulation of modern combat. Are Dice writing another game alongside MoH? This is a dull, on rails, low brow corridor shooter that desperately wants to be CoD and sadly achieves that because the CoD series is exactly that. The trouble with these two "benchmark" series is that on the PC at least, they have very little if any competition and are therefore not subject to the rigours FPS's on our platform used to experience. For me at least, MoH and CoD are simple, no brainer cash cows for greedy corporations that don't even try to encourage innovation. MoH starts badly and just never really gets your pulse racing. Its predictable and uttery faithful to the mainstream/arcade recipe of corridor shooters. Want a "realistic" sim of modern anti-terrorost warfare? Buy Arma2 Operation Arrowhead. Want to play CoD modern warfare AGAIN? Waste your money on MoH. Expand
