Hands-On: Medal of Honor: Airborn

From the Preview: "To most Xbox 360 gamers, Medal of Honor: Airborne doesn't seem to be on a lot of people's radar. Heck, it wasn't on my radar at all until I jumped out a C-47 airplane in the cover of darkness, wind blazing, straight into a combat zone. Indeed, war changes everything. In fact, I have yet to actually sit down and play a Medal of Honor game on any platform. So when Electronic Arts asked Xbox365 to visit their offices in Los Angeles, well you can imagine what we were expecting. The de facto shooter on the Xbox as far as World War FPS'ing is concerned belongs to Call of Duty. So initially it felt as if Electronic Arts just wanted to get their foot in the door and say "hey we have a World War shooter as well." Then maybe develop on it a bit more. Oh hell no, what EA showed us at their EALA camp tells us that they are dead series about bringing a quality (holy sh*t, EA and quality in the same sentence) World War shooter to the Xbox 360. And we don't mean just rival Call of Duty or any other WWII type shooters, we mean blow past them and establish themselves as the pimps."

EA Please note.... We dont want to keep having to play WW2 games we are sick to the teeth of them now.

Not evan going to bother to rent this, Roll on COD4!!!

nobizlikesnowbiz6536d ago

Yea the WW2 FPS genre is getting very stale. Unless they come back with a new angle or something innovative, I won't be buying or renting another WW2 FPS.

COD4 makes me drool. It looks more amazing than anything I've seen on either console yet.

omansteveo6536d ago

Yeah i agree with you guys and it seems like it may be a little to late for EA to introduce innovation into a WW2 shooter, i really dont think that people are going to care at this point sine the franchise has lost all credibility...i mean the last descent one they put out was Frontline and even then i thought allied assault on PC was better

medal of honor just doesn't seem worth my time, Brothers in arms realistic, with beautiful graphics, BIA is like Forza realistic

This game was great all the way up to the end when they introduced some supernatural elements.

Medal Of Honor would've been a great series but they set it up to failure by launching it when BF(insert number) came out. They did the same crap with Titanfall last year. IDK wtf EA be thinking at times, why not have one launch in the fall the other in the spring boosh now you have the WHOLE year covered.

Mulando2751d ago

The problem was, they released a really bad Medal of Honor game.
But maybe someday this game franchise will be used again, but well .. currently there are way to many shooters out there.

C-H-E-F2751d ago

Yea agreed, only time will tell, i'm still hoping and praying for a Socom reboot. :(

Ausbo2751d ago

This game was not “Bad” in anyway. It just couldn’t compete with COD and other shooters out there

Father__Merrin2751d ago

no its not free to download its part of the xbox live gold subscription. my idea of free to download is when they gave away rainbow six vegas 360. thats what you call a free game they have given away

OldGuyStillGaming2751d ago

You’re bringing up old shit for whatever reason
But as everyone already knows all the 360 titles you keep even once you stop your gold subscription
So yes it’s free as long as you’re a subscriber

InTheLab2751d ago

Old but one of the best shooters ever made in the military campaign style. Open ended with multiple objectives and leveling up weapons. For it's time, this game should have brought back MoH but the modern era ruined it!
