8.5 out of 10

I had high expectations for this game. It delivered most of what I wanted. Though this is far from a perfect game, I still had fun playing it. It just needs some patches or some extra downloadables.
Let's just start off with the campaign. The campaign was epic. As the missions were completed, the levels got more exciting. You'll enjoy the storyline along with what you get to do and accomplish. You'll experience Afghanistan through the eyes of our two elite warriors, "Rabbit" and Adams. Rabbit is part of a SEAL Unit called the "Wolfpack". Adams is a LMG gunner for a Ranger squad. You'll also have a level where you can play as a gunner for an Apache Helicopter duo. The Campaign alone is worth playing, but it just was too short in my opinion.
Now let's get to the nitty gritty, the multiplayer. I think it needs some adequate work. It's still fun and worth playing. I jumped right on hardcore mode because I'm not into maps and all. I died a lot more than I wanted to because I didn't know the maps. Hardcore is all the games mashed in randomly together with hardcore settings. Though it may give variety, it doesn't give you a choice of what game you can play.. which is pretty hardcore. Sometimes I just want to play a deathmatch and not worry about objectives. Also... I don't think there's enough guns, in comparison to BFBC2 or COD:MW2 plethora of choices.
The modes are Combat Mission, Team Assault, Objective Raid, and Sector Control. Combat Mission is a multiple objective level where you secure sections and arm objectives. While the opposing team defends. Team Assault is a deathmatch game. Objective Raid is a short 5 minute version of Combat Missions where there are only 2 objectives. Sector control is pretty much capture the flag/domination.
I hope they make more maps... I like how the server tries to spawn you on the other side of the map if there's 3 or more people trying to spawn kill. Though one guy can rain on your spawn with a kill streak. I don't like how when you start a playgroup... someone in your group could end up on the other team. But what I do like is the scare I get when I get sniped... it's loud in my Turtle Beach's. The sound can intimidate you and it's amazing. EA always delivers the feeling of realism.
All in all it's a good game, worth keeping until the next Medal of Honor.

Score
9.0
Graphics
Graphics are pretty good on the campaign. But multiplayer had a hint of choppyness.
10.0
Sound
The campaign and multiplayer sound was just amazing, through my x4 turtle beach's. When I would get sniped online it would give me a huge jump because I wouldn't expect it. The guns sound real online and campaign.
8.5
Gameplay
The levels on the campaign just got better and better throughout the game. The feel of the guns on the campaign felt as real as it gets on a video game.
8.0
Fun Factor
It has replay value. Of course online makes it worth replaying
8.0
Online
Multiplayer needs a lot of work. Can't spawn off your playgroup or a squad. Spawn killing is rampant when they use kill streaks. But the server does spawn you somewhere else if 3 or more of the opposing team is near your spawn. It needs more guns too.
Overall
8.5

I know in one of my Blogs I said I wasn't going to get Black Ops.. but I think I might have to because I thought this game was going to be at least a 9.

Tachyon_Nova4937d ago

If you have'nt played it yet and are just going of the reviews, do yourself a favour and ignore them, this game is great, myself I will probably be delaying my purchase of black ops for a little while because this game has easily has a good enough multiplayer to keep me interested for at least 100 hours, despite what the reviews have said.

Only the Xbox 360 can turn crap games into gold.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger885d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH4d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan4d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus500d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled500d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_92500d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000500d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH500d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad500d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.

10 Popular Banned Video Games and Why They Were Banned

Xfire writes "As you'll soon learn, while it is true that some popular banned video games do at least warrant the censorship or ban they received, some games were banned from sale for some pretty weird and radical reasons."

gold_drake1137d ago

i dont get censorship in games.
they have warnings on the boxings, age ratings, drug use warnings, strong language and sexual themes and many more.

its not so much the government's job to censor, as it is for parents to make sure their kids dont play those games. and those who are easily disturbed or sensitive, should stay away from them.
i do understand that some things might be triggering for some but.... why do ppl suck so much lol.

but being in debt before 18 or 21 is highly acceptable somehow ha

seriously.

Highrevz1137d ago

I’m glad there’s not much censorship in the UK towards video games. Reading bully was banned confused me as i don’t recall that at all.

Nintendo has always been bashed for its censorship (green blood in MK controversy) and then they gave us some dark moments like Crocomire’s death in Super Metroid and even let us strangle people to death with the Wii controller. It’s like they have tried at times but there image is very much Cemented as family friendly so I don’t think they will ever be able to stray far from that.

I remember my mom coming home from work with a copy of Thrill Kill and saying “I heard this games banned so I got you a copy” 🙌
Honestly the game wasn’t even that bad, there’s far worse content in books and movies.

Fist4achin1137d ago

Thrill kill at the time was edgy, but there has been much worse. Fun times with Imp the pimp!

darklaw1137d ago

honestly, its up to the parents and the players on what kind of experience they want to have, not the publisher.
