Attack of the Fanboy: "Medal of Honor: Warfighter is cradled comfortably somewhere between Call of Duty and Battlefield 3. Seemingly content to take as little risk as possible, and thereby offering little excitement outside of the aesthetic."
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.
Can't wait for this game but all other shooter will bow down to Halo 4 this year.
Im only focused on Far Cry 3 atm
MOH seems decent but BLOPS part deux um nah
I just played this game and it's nothing like COD for those who say its a COD clone. Its 2 player team based multiplayer and alot different from a COD game.The first Medal of honor was ok it did not suck it was just ok. Warfighter is alot different and you haft to work with your buddy to win. I think its refreshing that EA makes every effort to make each of there wargames different. You ask me the last good COD games were MW2 and Black ops.The new Black ops looks exactly like the last game just all modern. Black ops 2 looks like MW2 and black ops smashed
together. MOH Warfighter has alot of weapons and the 2 team based system is fun. This game has just dropped today so there are bugs here and there but I think its a great game alot of fun and tough to play. With an update they will fix the online bugs.
Wow I really dont think the guy played the online for long.He said the online fails to differ from other shooters.Its a 2 team based game how in the hell is that in any other shooter? He said theres no maps REALLY . I have both MOH games and it has alot more maps than the first game. I think this guy just put out a quik review to make a buck. This game is not like cod and its different from any other shooter with a 2 team based system implemented. I have Battlefield 3 and bad company 2 and cod 4,cod waw, Mw2 and black ops. This game does carve out its own online that is different from these other games that feature team based play with full teams and 4 man teams (battlefield). It really pisses me off when the guy fails to mention the 2 team based gameplay and soldiers from different nations in his review and then says its boring and the same as other shooters.WHAT A CROCK OF BS!
