GameSpot - Medal of Honor: Warfighter doesn't merge its cliched parts into a satisfying whole, making it just another middle-of-the-road military shooter.
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.

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
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.
Why are people calling this a "generic story" they tried something unique with Preacher's story and I can honestly say that i nearly cried at the end. Something that no other FPS has done..
Yikes time for another series reboot,better luck next gen EA.
@rituska666/Same thing happend to me,it was dreadful how bad those ladies looked at the end,it was scary,freaky made me wanna cry after playing 4-5 hours of this run of mill shooter.
And IGN gave it a 4.5.....I don't understand IGN, do they not actually play the games when they preview them? IGN was going "omg its amazing!" all the way up until launch, then they delay their review and still go "oh its pretty good" and then turn around and say "it sucks!"
I'm almost done sp & am lvl 45 in mp.
The game is fun. Period. I'm not sure when ratings and journalism in gaming got so derailed....but it's out of touch. And many people - gamers I mean who frequent forums and reviews...they happily bag on games they either never played, had no intention of playing and feel like they need to support only one game in a genre.
Ign gave it 4/10.....sp looks great, plays good and feels believable. Story arc is different and feels like act of valour...which was fun ride.
I could go on....I'm just over the need for games to have to be 9/10 to be worth our time.
It's flawed but decent with a few new ideas.
I'm glad review sites are giving this such low scores. While I've only played the beta, it felt fairly obvious to me that this wasn't made to challenge the the fps elite and more to capitalize on the current state of the fps market.
Obviously fans of the game can't understand it but when a game scores so low universally, it's usually for a reason.
