RENT FIRST!!! just a friendly warning. The game is garbage. Single player is alright. Nothing amazing or new or exciting but it's pretty ok. It tried to be Modern Warfare 2 but it because it's a Medal of Honor game it of course wasn't as good as COD. The multiplayer is compelte garbage. And please understand me, when i say garbage, i don't mean like a dumpster full of cardboard boxes kind of garbage. I mean rotten banana peels and baby diapers kind of garbage. Its like they took BF:BC2 and said, "Hey, lets take this really good game that we made, that was team based with good balance and large fully explorable maps and take out all the vehicles. Then we'll make it so your guy trips over everything taller that 3 inches, can't climb a 30 degree slope, put invisisble walls and insurmountable waist high fences in places that look completely passable. Then we'll make every gun a near instakill gun, put the starting spawn points within view of each other. And to top everything off we'll mark your team mates with a little white marker over their heads, but make the ground a light tan color, the sky painfully white, the buildings white/beige and give the afgani troops white turbans." spawn... get sniped.... spawn.... get sniped..... spawn on a team mate.... mortar strike.... spawn on another team mate.... air strike.... spawn at base... get sniped. so lets sum up. Single player... Meh. Multiplayer... AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH IS THERE NO GOD!!!?!!!??!!!?!!!  ??!!!??!!!! |

added to that is that there is no kill cam, so trying to find snipers is like luck. you just have to hope you happen upon them because trying to find that sniper that just killed you is essentially looking for a guy in a brown jacket and tan pants in the desert where he surrounded by the tan/brown ground, tan/brown rocks, tan/brown buildings, tan/brown bushes, and your tan/brown team mates.
the tactic to use seems to just be shoot everything and anything that moves. If it's a team mate, don't worry, he'll be fine. If it's an enemy, you might kill him, or you might lag out and be randomly booted from the game.
I'm not a huge fan of MW2 but at least they used actual colors in their game.

Too bad. The advertisements made it look better, though I've never really been a fan of the Medal of Honor series.

Why they decided to call it Medal of Honor is beyond me though. Since your super secret special forces that do things that technically "never happened" then not one of you would be awarded the Medal of Honor because you "never did anything"
They should have called the game Battlefield Honor: Medal of Duty 2

I actually expected this to happen. It was pretty obvious from the outset of this game, even from the day it was announced, that they were trying to make a CoD styled Medal of Honor game. I haven't played it myself yet, but from what I've seen of the game so far, it looks like they tried to make a carbon copy of MW2 and slap the MoH name on it.
For instance, there was a sequence in MoH that I watched recently that had your guy in a truck at some checkpoint in Afghanistan. Suddenly, bullets start flying, shit hits the fan and you're off like a bat out of hell. Now, for anyone who's played the MW2 campaign, that's strangely reminiscent of how the Favela level starts. Like I said, I haven't even played the game yet, so this minor coincidence could be just that, but something tells me that the team behind MoH looked really really hard at MW2 and tried to figure out just how to rip it off without being up front about it.
In all, from what I've heard so far, I think I'll be giving MoH a pass and wait for CoD: Black-Ops instead.

the single player isn't all that similar. Its very much based off of real events so there's no leaping off Brazilian roof tops onto a helicopter ladder or being yanked through a hole in the ceiling by a repelling line without getting caught on any of the rebar or other debris in the way. Your not fighting Russians who suddenly decided to attack us for no good reason and your actually American for most of the fight instead of British.
sure some game play elements are very similar but both games take place in modern times using modern weapons fighting modern enemies.
The single player isn't a bad game. It alone makes it worth at least a rent.
but god help you if you try the multiplayer. See that moving dot a few hundred yards off in the distance... just shoot at it with your pistol and you'll get a kill. of course you can't bother to stop or aim because some jackass is doing the same thing to you except he's using a fully automatic weapon

Well it's good to know they at least tried to adhere to some sense of reality with it. MW2, for all of it's gloss and fancy new things, the main story felt awkward and disjointed to me. I mean, it flowed, in a way (more so for the TF 121 sections than anything else), but the over all plot was bland, save for a few spots in the Rangers campaign (notably the retaking of the White House). But that's my opinion.
As to multiplayer, I'm only mediocre at best in MW2 thanks to some of the rampant cheating and clans that populate that game's online feature. So even that gets on my nerves after a time. Thus, I highly doubt I'd be testing MoH for its multiplayer aspect.
