GameReactor Sweden: "Warfighter has a really rough and unfinished feel to it, and it doesn't help that it lacks anything original or something that's better than what the competitors offer. Medal of Honor: Warfighter is just very mediocre in the end - save your hard earned money for something better."
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.

This new Top 5 video series is starting with a bang, and quite possibly some teabagging, as I run through my favorite first-person shooters.
Halo ce

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.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is just very mediocre in the end - save your hard earned money for something better." Pretty much what I think about the game. You might as well save your money for a real shooter, Black Ops 2 or Halo 4.
Oh yeah, that's right. Even a monkey can write a review.
I don't see the point in people getting upset at seeing this game receive low scores. Wasn't this bound to happen? It's pretty obvious that EA's heart wasn't in this one. This was released because of Black Ops 2, and not because EA wanted to make a great game. I guarantee if Call of Duty was on a two-year development cycle, we would have never seen this reboot. Where were the copies that should have been sent to reviewers? What worries me is that EA could abandon Medal of Honor and make Battlefield an annual series.
Ya know whats funny is I'm not really that into COD games I always pick them up used but after following Black Ops 2 for a bit I can honestly say I'm probably going to pick it up new.
Who ever gives this game a 5/10 is a morron. Sorry the insult. But seriously. It is by far the best looking shooter so far, best looking PS3 game, Frostbite shows muscles. I'm impressed. Most realistic driving sequence (for a FPS game - almost feels like Burnout; like a "real" racing game). First game I saw where you have to compensate the distance while sniping. I got so dumed down over the years that I couldn't even believe they put that in. So, yeah, little be different, huh? But a 5? How about getting rewarded for putting some extra effort into a game. EA/Danger Close sure has.
Same as with previous games. Everybody is hyped for CoD and "must talk down" MoH. Because it just cannot be, right?
Give it a 7 if you don't like it. But we got a load of crap games which got away with 5. And this sure isn't one of those.
