If you want to fight a virtual war and you purchase Medal of Honor: Warfighter, you won’t exactly be in a position to claim false advertising. However, in spite of some strong individual elements, it ends up feeling like a sloppy and ultimately pointless conflict. Focusing on superficial distinctions that add nothing to the game, Warfighter lacks a convincing reason to fight, and there’s no reason anyone should pick up the banner apart from brand loyalty or sheer boredom.
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.
Gametrailers gave it a 6.2 I personally would of gave it 4.2
Just beat the SP campaign and I actually liked it. It started off pretty boring but got much better as the game went on. The story wasnt that bad and it was def better than BF3.
I didn't played it yet. But, sounds like this is the most disappointing game of 2012.
Completed Single player in 5 hours honest option 5/10.
Multiplayer played 3 hours straight, very enjoyable 8/10.
Overall 7/10
I bought the game the day before yesterday and have to admit that the flaws are not really evident in the PC version of the game.
Just like Battlefield 3, the Frostbite 2 engine is not really optimized for consoles. I mean, the framerate and screen tearing in Battlefield 3 on the Xbox 360 is the same as in MOH:Warfighter(my brother bought it for his Xbox 360).
But as far as the story goes, it is not as engaging as the SP from MOH out of 2010. I can't explain it, maybe EA was pushing the game so badly that everything took a hit. I still have goosebumps(in a bad way)from those CG cutscenes , it is so dull. Everything ingame is good.
I think EA should have given Danger Close more time and wait till December, because you are able to feel in certain sections that the pacing is of.
The multiplayer is fun, but nothing out of the ordinary.
If I would have to rate it, overall: 7
