    Warfighter is a typical "more- of-the-same-game." Developer Danger Close didn't reach the goal, creating a "most authentic" shooter - the 5h-campaign feels like a Hollywood war movie, lots of firefights, some nice pursuit-sequences and a most confusing story-plot. Playing Warfighter online in various modes is kind of fun, though there are still lot of bugs in there.

    I liked the first Medal of Honor, but this is a very average military shooter. The game's feel of authenticity is lost, missions are shooting from a cover with a handful of door breaches, and missions just go on and on and on. And the family aspect... [Nov 2012]

    Warfighter is well-made, has been set elaborately staged and looks good enough to eat in places. However, I constantly feel we have been through the whole spectacle in three dozen other shooters.

    A formulaic experience that feels rushed, ill-thought out and hollow. Its gameplay is rote and its mechanic is derivative. To be frank, I'm tired of this. Shooter fans are not simply teenage consumers of asinine adventure. We deserve better.

    Really positive surprise! Best gun "feeling" since CoD2! Multiplayer maps are a bit small but pretty playable :) Number of guns should be bigger but the rest of the game is quite nice... Sure there are some bugs but this is the start and i hope EA fixes them. Gameplay is dynamic, graphics are nice, recoil requires some skill. Single player is something between CoD and BF3 :) Waiting for more maps :) Expand
  3. Pre-ordered MoH Warfighter for BF4 beta access, with low expectations. After finishing the campaign and playing a good bit of multiplayer, I must say that the game is pretty decent. I'll start off with the singleplayer; The story they want to tell is interesting - how a soldier's life affects a family. This could've been interesting and added a lot of emotions to the game, but for the most part it's pretty poor. I was never really able to fully grasp what the objectives of the enemies were; if they had put in more consequences it would've added a lot of drama that would've spiced up the story quite a bit. It has a lot of Hollywood-elements (for example lots of explosions, cranes falling on you etc). It would probably be overdramatizing it a bit, but the story needs to make you feel like you're actually doing something important. When it comes to the gameplay - the shooting is good, and the weapons feel great. But that's pretty much it. It's very linear, you'll constantly meet groups of enemies (I mean a lot), and generally what a mission consists of is just clear out these massive amounts of enemies. This can take a while and will eventually grow boring, and the horrible AI doesn't help out either. Your mates will rarely hit, and sometimes allow the stupid enemy AI to just run at you, and stand right beside you when you're trying to kill something else. For highly trained soldiers, they really really suck. You'll often find yourself very vulnerable because of your fellow soldiers' inompetence. The game does allow some variety, sometimes you're a chopper gunner, other times using a robot (of sorts) to clear out an area in advance. Sometimes you'll get to snipe, or call in an artillery-strike somewhere. Other than that you'll find yourself pretty much only moving forward to see more bad guys you'll have to spend 5-10 minutes killing every **** time. They also added some driving missions (yes, driving), where you'll... have to drive a car, to either chase someone or escape. While cool the first time, you'll come to a second mission where you're trying to avoid being spotted by enemy cars by hiding and **** The first driving mission was good and added variety to the game, but when they added the second... I asked myself; am I playing a shooter, or **** Need For Speed? Because it seemed like I was playing the latter. In short: The story is interesting, although the storytelling sucks monkeydick. Levels aren't vary varied and it gets very tedious after a while. Now for the multiplayer: This is where the game is best. Obviously the biggest part of a shooter has become its multiplayer, something MoHW is able to pull of pretty well. The class-system is good, and that you can change between different soldiers is cool. The weapon unlock/customization, on the other hand... It's extremely annoying to navigate and you get a very limited amount of weapons to use at the start. You don't even get to start with iron sights, something I find very annoying. You get new weapons/customization features by acquiring new soldiers (that you get through ranking up). The server browser is OK, but there is one big issue. You can't see if a server is hardcore or not. Speaking of hardcore - you get absolutely no HUD (you can't see amount of ammo, radar, etc), but there's one thing that's extremely annoying about it. You don't get any notification when you kill someone. It adds to the "hardcore", but when two people are shooting at the same person, you don't get to see who killed him without checking tab first. There are a few gamemodes - plant/defuse bomb, classic TDM, sector control (conquest, essentially) and Home Run. Hotspot/Combat Mission is where the attacking team plants bomb, defending team defuses. Simple enough. Home Run is capture the flag, really. The rest should be self explanatory. In game you get a fireteam-buddy, a great feature IMO. You can spawn on him (as long as he is not endangered). The game-modes are all quite fun, although the maps aren't very open and have a lot of narrow corridors, so you have to concentrate to avoid getting smoked. This can get especially annoying when you're trying to attack an objective, as these areas can easily be locked down. And the fact that you can't kill someone with three - THREE shots to the head doesn't help. From a distance, that is. The amount of damage your weapons do is so low that it's absolutely ridiculous. Shooting from the hip is impossible, as your accuracy pretty much falls to 0. Even while looking through your sights, you have to spend a good amount of ammo to kill someone. This is extremely annoying and you'll often feel very cheated. This ruins the flow of the gameplay, and enemies behind cover can be an extreme pain. That's not enough - most of your teammates are **** who'll ignore any objective, and just go for kills. But when the game works as it should - it's very fun to play, Can recommend if you have the patience to ignore its faults. Expand
  4. Another linear FPS game like Call of Duty series & Battlefield series. Explosions, Car chases, I've seen most of it in movies. The plot is too overused. Expand
