Medal Of Honor Review

[freedomweasel]

Each class unlocks ONE weapon each. ONE EACH.

Well we disagree on the campaign, thats fine, but each class does in fact unlock 2 new weapons each. (per side) Rifleman unlocks the LMG and second AR, for example.

Oh my mistake. Each class unlocks 2 weapons? Oh wow. I retract my previous statement. This game is incredibly deep. You unlock a whole 2 weapons per class. The variety is overwhelming in MOH!

If you're going to rag on a game at least get the facts right. And as a side note, not everyone wants unlockable weapons and level up skill trees.

Im going to guess you enjoy being the wtfbbqop sniper who sits at the back of the map sighting in on choke points and objectives raining down mortar and rocket scorestreaks and going 50-1 every game you play?

Thats about the only reason anyone could enjoy this game in all honesty. You dont want a balanced game. You just want to play Sniper and steamroll everything. In whcih case, this is the game for YOU!

I'm going to guess you enjoy flaming people who disagree?

Not that you'll believe me anyway, but I'm terribly bad at sniping in any/all games and I've been using the smgs and shotguns.

You can hate the game, thats fine, I really don't care. If you want to hate that you can only unlock 2 guns per class, thats cool too. I simply pointed out an error you made about the game.

Nice review. I won't be picking this up now, so thanks for saving me money!

That was my point. With all of the games coming out within the next few weeks, save your money for a higher quality title. And if you must play it.... curb your expectations. Or at least buy it used down the road and save yourself some money. I'm not trying to create a war over specific details. Just giving my honest opinion of a game that doesn't deserve this kind of hype. I wish I read this review last week. Then I couldve saved 65 bucks.

I was thinking about picking it up this afternoon. But after doing some online research (gameplay videos and user-written reviews), it seems like a rather hastily-made, sloppy game

Well I decided to wait 6 months after this review to see if there was anything different to say, and I still stand by this original review 100%. clearly I wasn't the only one disappointed by MoH because its own community has shrank dow to just a small portion of what it was when at its peak. However, the silver lining to this $65 dollar mistake was access to the battlefield 3 beta which I'm about as giddy as a school on prom night for. So community that loved to bash me for posting a bad review for a bad game. Was I wrong?

I am not defending a game I have not played yet just pointing out how your thinking can be perceived as flawed.

This is my opinion of each aspect.
1- Campaign
I found the campaign to be extremely dry, with very little story to tell. Just shooting. Thats it. Over and over.

So is CoD. Gears of War. Halo.

Depends on whether or not you have a clearly defined objective. I thought CoD 4 was very good at this, while some of the WWII missions from the series featured a bit too much of the run over here and do X, then run over there and do Y, then come back here and do some more X, and... we won, let's move to the next area. There were a few times in Call Of Duty 3 where I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to be doing and just wandered around until I worked it out, which is positively lethal for a game series like Call Of Duty.

So, if he's saying the objectives aren't terribly clear and it's just a bunch of running around and shooting people without knowing what you're supposed to be accomplishing, then I think that's a legitimate criticism. There are certain games that can get away with that, but not a military shooter.

Have to agree here, although a bit generic, how cod4 presented its objectives was very good for a linear shooter.

Jackson! Save that crashed pilot while we shoot at walls!
Price! Crawl by 50 henchman in 30cm tall grass!

My Response

Campaign
- Provided similar aspects of Call of Duty, but In this day in age don't we compare all our shooters to call of Duty now? OP claims there was just shooting, this actually a harsh lie. There were many methods of play. There's a car chase, ATV riding, great stealth and sniper missions, not to mention LOTs of explosions. I feel that yes, the story started off pretty slow and choppy, but did nothing but build as the game progressed. At the end of the campaign, I amlost had tears in my eyes.
8/10

Multiplayer
- I can understand why people show animosity towards the mutiplayer. It is NOTHING like Call of Duty, which I'm sure everyone was expecting. There is little weapon and character/perk customization and less ridiculous killstreaks and explosives. It forces the player to actually have skill rather than the capability of spray and pray tactics. There is little detail, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun. It just makes you work for it.
6.5/10
