Medal of Honor Warfighter is releasing at a very dangerous time. On October 23rd EA and developer Danger Close will release the fourteenth entry in the long-running Medal of Honor series, building upon the success of the Medal of Honor reboot from 2010. A few weeks later on November 13, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will release, and is expected to sell insanely well like all past entries in the franchise. The question really is: how can Medal Of Honor Warfighter stand up to the juggernaut and make itself shine in the shadow of Black Ops 2’s looming release?
Alongside death, taxes and terrible Adam Sandler movies, video game sequels are just another crushing inevitability of life. Sequels and franchises are the lifeblood of the industry, so you can bet any halfway successful game will be aiming towards at least five more follow-ups and spin-offs in pursuit of more delicious money.
Yet even major franchises tend to run themselves into the ground eventually, where they can either reboot themselves and come back stronger than ever (think the new Tomb Raider games) or stay buried in the past.

Old school would be Wolfenstein, Doom, Hexen, Duke Nukem, and Rise of the Triad.
More recently Half-Life 2, BioShock (original), Wolfenstein the new order, Timesplitters 2, Medal of Honour.
Some personal favourites Singularity, Resistance series, Killzone Series, Bulletstorm, Dishonored.
Duke Nukem was a side scroller on Dos
@robition Duke Nukem wasn't a FPS 'til the 3rd one, Duke Nukem 3D
Great concept(Nectar) and fun but a bit of an iffy execution and didn't live up to its promise. I finished it at launch. Shame they didn't quite get it right.
The video game industry is one based on the backs of its scholarly properties. Like movies and books, it’s a space that draws vigorously on strong sequels and innovative new thoughts. Notwithstanding, not all sequels surpass the enormity of their forerunners, and a chosen few of them check the start of the end for their →
Assassin's Creed series was ruined after Black Flag, Ubisoft made it annually game. I played Dead Space 1 and 2; were awesome but Dead Space 3 failed to make gosip. As MOH Warfighter was good game
Black Flag was the redeemer after 3. ACIV is my favorite of the series. Unity was bad, Syndicate is actually pretty good. So they are up and down. As for Dead Space, I thought the original was like Uncharted series. The first one was a great story and a little rough, but #2 was incredible through and through. Uncharted 3 is awesome, unfortunately DS3 was indeed a terrible terrible game. Warfighter was a good game, but aren't we all burned out on shooters???
That's right Assassin's Creed series had awesome games till AC Black Flag, AC III was terrible
I disagree on AC Black Flag. Black Flag was a good PIRATE game but a very mediocre AC.
I preferred Revelations over Brotherhood. AC Brotherhood had such a boring story while AC Revelations tied everything up very well for Ezio and Altair, if I was going to pick a game where it all started going downhill for me it would be AC 3 but despite that AC 1,2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 4, Rogue and Syndicate are all good games.
Lost Planet as far as I remember went like dead space with the third game (round based type play) it just felt like it was just a map clearing game with multiple horde survival. Call Of duty went and died long ago. Ghosts didn't help its cause but now we have three development houses it's going from bad to worse. GTA to me anyway was saved with five to me the driving up until then was awful. Mario and sonics died along time ago to in my eyes.
I'm not trying to downplay the game as of now, but I just don't see the community lasting much longer than 8 to 12 months. I mean we've got Halo 4, Black Ops 2 and the impending Battlefield 4 on the horizon. Plus, I don't plan on diverting from Battlefield 3 just for MOH.
I feel like its a game that people are gonna play for a few months then move on to something else, leaving MOH to die out quickly just like the first one did.
The beta is pretty fun, but the game is ridiculously generic. I'll probably rent it myself.
Based on the beta it's fun, but nothing special. I was going to buy this and ac3 this month. But I decided to go with dishonored and ac3 instead. It just doesn't seem worth buying.
Well the last game is still going strong on pc ive enjoyed the beta but will get the pc version consoles are hurting my eyes since rigatony [newpc] came on the scene.
I was considering getting this game back in August put then i changed my mind. These two months are congested with great games and sadly i can only get two so am planning to get Farcry3 and Halo 4.
Its a shame MOH use to be a great franchise back in its PC hay-day (allied assault). But now its a generic shooter
Based on the Beta, it's too generic to stand out from the rest. It's not really doing any new or better than the rest to get recognized.
I loved the sound that was in the demo but I don't think there's enough there to pull me in.
