Well, I wasn't going to buy the new Medal of Honor.
And after playing it for several hours, I wish I didn't.
Game play:
The SP was made directly for PC, you can tell by the different types of movement. But when entering the MP, you suddenly cant lean and do other stuff (slide).
And what ever happened to prone (in general)?
There is a Kill Streak award system in the MP, but this only makes players camp even more!
Audio:
Uh... it SUCKS!Weapons sound pretty standard, but when entering a building they sound really dull.
Video:
Settings are clean and simple, no need for a new high-end PC! My 3 year old PC runs this game on high settings.
Weapons:
About 10 weapons or weapon updates are unlockable per class. No really new or cool weapons are available at this time. But pretty much all weapons feel the same!
And no options for customizing your weapon with things like camo.
Classes:
Only 3 classes available:
- Rifleman (standard infantry)
- Special Ops (uh... another standard infantry)
- Sniper (does use sniper weapons)
Maps:
Small and chaotic maps with many glitches.
Clearly console base mapping, because there are many rough edges round rocks and buildings.
Game types:
Only 4 game types available:
- Team Assault (Kill enemy forces)
- Sector Control (Control strong points)
- Objective Raid (Attack or defend targets)
- Combat Mission (Take control over whole map)
And whatever happened to Death Match and Capture the Flag?
Single player (SP):
SP is nice but short.
This doesn't bother me because I'm an online gamer.
No strong storyline like in COD4 MW…
Multiplayer (MP):
Well there are server files available… but that’s the only positive thing to mention.
Because of the small maps, players often just spawn and camp or spawn and die.
Running and gunning won’t get you far! I haven’t been able to play as a clan at this moment (with the use of TeamSpeak), because that could be a huge advantage.
My Verdict:
Take the Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising and some of the bad features from Cal of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and you´ll get the look-a-like game this new Medal of Honor is.
PC gamers will be stuck yet again with a cheap console port game, that doesn’t bring justice to the PC platform. No really new or cool features, therefore 5/10.
It’s NOT worth your well deserved money and a disgrace to any half decent online gamer!
