Buyer Evaluations

This game is getting continually bashed my MW2 fans. The most significant flaw in the advertising of this game was to compare it to, and recommend that its a contender to MW2. Its simply not the very same game. The majority of negative critiques stem from the fact that EA touted this as a MW2 clone additional or less, which got all the MW2 junkies on the bandwagon only to be depressed and angry. Its not the similar. Its a absolutely numerous game, and when looked at alone, not comparitively its a strong game.
Modes:
Campaign:
Decent, but short. Great story, realistic gameplay. Sliding into cover must be incorporated in just about every FPS from here on out, operates fantastically. There is normally the opportunity to go back and attempt a harder difficulty.
Tier 1 Mode:
hard.........replay every single mision of the campaign, with a maximum time limit, and no respawns or checkpoints..........
this trumps a veteran difficulty level exactly where you can just figure out a route and sprint to a checkpoint then die and begin proper there..........
Multiplayer:
BFBC2 on smaller sized maps, produced by the similar BFBC guys, I get pleasure from it, I have place in about 6 hours web based and its got the very same problems they all have, spawn killing, campers, etc........graphically it excedes BFBC2
Bonus:
Medal of Honor Frontlines remastered (ps3 only)
I never ever played this prior to but I have been enjoying it alot. Its a strong FPS from the days just before spawn killers, on line, and nuke boosting.
General:
The campaign has some glitches, some that shouldn't have produced it past testing, but oh properly, there are a handful of in just about every game that comes out. The story is good. Graphics are typical for the campaign, and above average, but not the most effective, for multiplayer. The online is continuously compared to MW2 which is really several, there are no "steady aim" perks that enable you to wildly spray ammo around. If you attempt running around you will get shot. The target is realism, and whereas not great, it gets closer than the other folks. You run around a corner and a guy is crouched there, you are dead, he will see you before you get your gun up from a sprint, thats reality, but will frustrat the hell out of players that are made use of to running about with light step and marathon, jumping into prone and spraying dual p90's all more than the screen...............
EA screwed up comparing this game to MW2, but in the end, its a decent game, two if you count frontlies, which i do because its a strong tiny game on its personal. For me, it was worth the sixty i place out and twenty i got back in GC form. Any critique that says this isn't MW2..............unless thats all you like, read on, given that people today that play other games will appreciate this game a lot significantly more than these that believe COD is all there is..............

1st off, let me say that I know this critique is longer than quite a few will care to read. If that is the case, check out portion 6 at the finish.
I've numbered and titles the numerous sections of this review to enable you navigate by means of them, should really you only be interested in locating out particular items. Hope this is valuable.

6. Summary
1. BACKGROUND
Right after 12 games, Electronic Arts has lastly observed match to finish the war. Planet War II, that is. As you no doubt know, this reboot of Medal of Honor takes location during the present conflict in Afghanistan. Some consumers have scoffed at Electronic Arts for producing this jump from WWII to, eh hem, "modern day warfare", saying that they're just stealing notes from Call of Duty's playbook. I obtain this rather funny, though, contemplating that the original Call of Duty was, of course, a WWII game that shared more than a couple of similarities with the Medal of Honor series. But that was nearly 7 years ago. The circumstance currently is substantially numerous. In many people's minds, the Call of Duty franchise (Modern day Warfare 2, specially) is a member of 1st individual shooter royalty, if not the incredibly king itself. On the other hand, the Medal of Honor series has failed to hold up, both in terms of sales and ratings. In a way, it's as if the apprentice has grow to be the master. In order to make a comeback, EA knew that had to make some alterations. And so they have, which brings us to this reboot of the Medal of Honor series.
2. SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGN
Medal of Honor takes spot in 2002, a variety of months following the terrorist attacks of September 11th. In the game, you assume the role of U.S. particular operations soldiers tasked to get rid of Taliban forces situated in the mountains of Afghanistan.
The story is incredibly thin by traditional requirements. As far as the actual understanding that the game provides you with, you just play as some particular ops guys, hunting some terrorists that are holed up in some Afghan mountains. There are some cheesy cut scenes involving higher ups calling some poor shots from back in the States, but those don't add significantly of anything. Genuinely, the lack of story is most most likely due to a couple of factors: 1) EA wanting to shy away from the additional Hollywood-ish components of other 1st person shooters. In other words, considering the fact that Medal of Honor tries to be "realistic", there's no clean and neat story arch. And 2) Considering the games set in a present, ongoing war, you just sort of unearth oneself in the middle of items, with no true back story and no actual ending. But I guess that's 1 of the drawbacks to setting the game when and where they did. I mean, it is not like the writers could write in an ending to the war. They just wrote in an ending to one particular of the guys you play as. Difficulty is, he has no established character or character.
As far as gunplay goes, in my opinion -- and some people will take exception with this -- the general feel of MoH's combat is pretty comparable to Contemporary Warfare 2`s. The fact that the button layout amongst the two games is identical accounts for substantially of this feeling. If you've built up any muscle memory response at all with MW2, almost all of that programming will carry over completely to Medal of Honor. On the other hand related, MoH's shooting technique just isn't as polished or as balanced as Contemporary Warfare 2's. And this isn't coming from a CoD fanboy -- whilst I think MW2 is definitely a amazing game, old school Rainbow Six Pc titles are far more my thing, when it comes to shooters. Modern day Warfare isn't close to getting my soapbox -- I'm just calling the scenario what it is.
Medal of Honor is a pretty linear game, usually painfully so. Linearity is not necessarily a difficulty, as game developers have their strategies of creating you really feel like you have at least some freedom, even when you don`t. But there are no such illusions in this game. There's a single way to play it, and one way only. To take just one instance, at one particular point, I wanted to go back by means of a door way I just walked through, and pick up a rifle off of a dead enemy. Nevertheless, there was now an invisible door that had apparently formed over the doorway, even even though I was nevertheless on the very same level, and only a couple of seconds had passed. There are countless small invisible obstacles like this that the game makes use of to guide you along the mission. You feel like your hand is being held by the Invisible Man.
As a change of pace from running and gunning, there are a few special sequences thrown in the mix. During a single, you man the weapons of an Apache Gunship, taking out a variety of ground targets. And then, my favorite, was the lengthy range anti-personnel sniping level with the .50 cal Barret rifle, which takes spot in the Afghan mountains. This is especially satisfying, in that your targets are so far away, that you must account for a lot more than a second from when the bullet leaves the barrel to the time it reaches the target. In actual life, the effect of this distinct caliber is absolutely devastating Metal of Honor reflects that truth effectively. However, even these levels are on incredibly strict "rails".
The Enemies are somewhat challenging, in that there are lots of them, and they can shoot straight. In spite of this, they are a few fries brief of a Happy Meal. For instance, they just about usually duck down, but the issue is, they'll in some cases do this regardless of regardless of whether there is cover or not. What this amounts to is they simply cease shooting, ball up, and wait for to you take a nice painless shot at them. But this is minor, and doesn't happen frequently. On the other side of the extreme, there are a couple of machine gun nests in the game that are apparently manned by folks impervious to bullets. They can only be killed by explosives launched from aircraft. So significantly for realism...
The three teammates you have with you are similarly stupid, but luckily, they can take care of themselves (getting invincible tends to make that fairly painless). They can also give you ammunition when you run low (if you share the identical weapon). There is no command method in Medal of Honor exactly where you tell your teammate where to go or what to do. They are just there, alongside you, undertaking what they're scripted to do, and nothing else.
All in all, the campaign itself is brief. About 6 hours. Unless you're the type of individual who thinks coaching goats for money-eating contests is a intelligent thought, you probably will not really feel that this game provides you $60 worth of single player gameplay, neither in quality nor quantity. It really is fundamentally a Contemporary Warfare 2 clone that lacks the polish and story. Some can not like the comparison of the two games, but that's just how EA set factors up. Everyone knows that the Medal of Honor reboot is EA's answer to Call of Duty. Naturally, given this reality, on best of the fact that Call of Duty was when a challenger to Medal of Honor's crown, the comparison in between the two games is absolutely known as for.
(On a side note, as a bonus included with the Playstation 3 version of Medal of Honor, a remastered version of 2002's Medal of Honor: Frontline is added to the mix. The graphics have been smoothed out and tweaked, and capabilities like aiming down the weapons' sights have been added. Personally, I think of Frontline to be the preferred of the Medal of Honor games on console, if not the greatest Medal of Honor game, period. It becoming included with this reboot is a great perk for those like me who are fans of the old series, and it is absolutely one particular of the most effective pieces of bonus content I've ever observed included with a game. This is the highlight of the package.)
3. On the net MULTIPLAYER
Surprisingly, the single player and multiplayer (MP) elements had two numerous developers. EA Los Angeles did the single player campaign, whilst DICE did the multiplayer. Interestingly, whilst EA made use of a heavily-modified Unreal Engine three for the campaign game, DICE implemented Frostbite engine for the multiplayer. This lends a somewhat distinctive feel to the two components of the game.
Major up the release of MoH, a lot of buzz was going on about it possibly becoming a hybrid amongst Contemporary Warfare two and Battlefield Bad Corporation two. This was a pretty reasonable assumption, given the run and gun nature of both Call of Duty and Medal of Honor games, combined with the reality that DICE is also the developer behind Battlefield: Negative Enterprise two . Properly, there is a definite presence of each games, it seems EA stopped brief of making MoH possess the finest of both worlds. For instance, MoH has a class method (rifleman, particular ops, and sniper), like Battlefield, but the classes are not really assigned distinct roles as they are in that game. Also, the levels are on a significantly smaller sized scale.
While there is a system of leveling up and unlocking weapon upgrades, do not anticipate anything also deep. If leveling is the kind of point you're concerned about, I'd say you won't obtain the approach nearly as rewarding, exciting, or addicting as that of Contemporary Warfare 2. But if climbing the ranks isn't on your to-do list, and you just like playing for the sake of playing, you should not have considerably of predicament with this "lack".
1 factor I like about MoH more than and against equivalent games is that "noob-tubing" and across the map grenading isn't much of a trouble, as these weapons are a lot much more balanced om in MoH. This is beneficial news for many people who like to concentrate on actual gun battles, and not throwing contests.
One issue I come across strange is that you cannot go prone in multiplayer, or slide into cover when operating -- two issues that are available in the SP game. The slide, I... Read more›
