    MOH blew me away! Great story in campaign mode,a bit short, but it left me wanting even more. The multiplayer follows the Bad Company 2 style but with an arcade feel that really fits perfectly. I'm really glad to see the MOH franchise return. I can't wait for the next installments, which I'm sure will surpass this great title.

    Medal of honor is epic! Gotta love the US military! Some of the US ranger missions are the best! The Multiplayer is absolutely mind boggling! So much adrenalin! I was sweating when playing! That says something!

    Not a bad game. It does not beat Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 but it sure matches it and does some parts better. I believe the single player experience is better here. It's basically a case of clearing a sector and proceeding to the next. In COD, you have to keep on moving forward to make the enemy stop spawning which gets quite frustrating and ridiculous.

I have a problem with multiplayer. Gameplay is more tactical forcing you take cover and move carefully instead of running around like crazy in COD. But the maps are quite small and poorly designed and this results into many cases of spawn camping and raping. I believe COD still has better designed and enjoyable multiplayer maps that this one.â Expand

    Medal of honor is the most realistic game ive ever played. The graphics, the game mechanics, and the voice overs is definitely on point. War is not run and gun situations. You squeeze a couple and a couple of bodies drop and move little by little. The situations this game has never been seen in other games. This is definitely not a Modern Warfare copy cat.

    Despite this is my first review, I've played a lot of other games before, so I know what I'm saying.

    MOH deserved a 9. Singleplayer was better than anything I've played in a while, the events and locations were all closely linked to reality. (I'm a military fan myself.) It might not be the most realistic game you've ever played if you have ever played the ARMA series, but it's close

It might not be the most realistic game you've ever played if you have ever played the ARMA series, but it's close enough. Since Danger Close have to impress the casual players as well, but they still manage to do a good job on that as well. did an amazing job on that. Though they should have also done MP as well.

    Multiplayer, on the other hand, was more like DICE was trying to make a MW2 ver. of BC2. But what it redeemed itself back on was the multiplayer maps and gameplay. The multiplayer uses fog to blind snipers from shooting a long range kill, making the game having less snipers, Also the gameplay and map was pretty well designed, forcing Team Cooperation without having one of the teammates to say so. If you run into a decent game, you'll find out most of your teammates are sticking together most of the time. Overall, this is a game definitely worth purchasing. It just lost 1 score the singleplayer story length and the multiplayer's lack of vehicles. But this game can take over MW2's place in your heart if you just give it a try, and you'll definitely be glad you did, even if you didn't like it in the end.

I enjoy MP in that it is realistic as in you go from cover to cover. The play modes feel good, as there is still fronts but you can still flank. Definitely could have used a few more maps and couple of hours longer single players. I think the game was a bit of a cause of not enough time. Expand

    First off, MOH has several bugs. Lighting can be odd at times and then suddenly fix itself, there is texture pop in at the beginning of levels in the campaign (lasts for about 3 seconds), and then there is an odd feeling to the running controls (if the left thumbstick is slightly pushed up and right, you might suddenly start strafing sideways rather than running diagonally). You'll findFirst off, MOH has several bugs. Lighting can be odd at times and then suddenly fix itself, there is texture pop in at the beginning of levels in the campaign (lasts for about 3 seconds), and then there is an odd feeling to the running controls (if the left thumbstick is slightly pushed up and right, you might suddenly start strafing sideways rather than running diagonally). You'll find most of your movement really needing to be controlled heavily by the right thumbstick in ways that many other games don't do. It's very difficult to describe, but just understand that its there.
    Now, the campaign starts off rough. To me the graphics and explosions looked okay. It certainly looked like the graphics were behind the curve of things, and sometimes even looked awful. Then it was as if I started a new level and all of my issues were gone. Suddenly the lighting in the game was incredible, and at times I found myself marvelling at how realistic characters looked due to the lighting and textures. I used to live in the Middle East for a short period of time and let me tell you, some of the background scenery (not the villages, those can seem a bit generic) were downright real looking. It truly is fun to stop for a second just to look at the marvelous visuals this game can have.
    Some transitions in scenes, or from running on foot to being in a vehicle, can be rough. Other times its smooth as butter. For all the effort EA put into immersion, I can't figure out why it is that when you turn on night vision you don't see the character reach to pull down his goggles/IR sensor. Just a thought.
    **Important** Modern Warfare 2 thrived on close quarters combat, surprises around every corner, and adrenaline in every button pressed. Here, Medal of Honor presents firefights that are medium to long range shooting. This is MORE realistic because honestly, special forces troops are stupid enough to blunder into enemies in close quarter combat 24/7 like they are portrayed to do in MW2. I found the gameplay mesmerizing and I am still loving it.
    Voice Acting = Incredible. MW2 had some decent voice acting, but the sound and voice acting in MOH blows it out of the water.
    Summary: Campaign = lots of fun, but unfortunately a lot of bugs.
    Multiplayer is still establishing itself with the community, but is largely fun. Even when getting dominated the game can still be fun. When someone gets a load of killstreaks back to back, ehhh, the game isn't as much fun. For the most part the multiplayer is a blast and with friends can be incredible. Unlock system seems like it should be a tad more in depth though, and soldier management should be more developed. Gameplay is awesome though.

    Long story short, this is a game with bugs that will almost definitely be fixed in the next MOH, but none of these bugs come close to ruining the fun experience of this game. Certain elements of scripted moments in the campaign may turn people off, but that was NOT the case for me. Rent this first and see if you like it, then buy it because I honestly am getting my moneys worth out of this game right now.

    The sound alone is worth the time spent going through the single-player game. I really didn't see anything horribly wrong with the graphics or anything technical that can spoil the experience otherwise. The multi-player is really enjoyable once you learn the angles. It has less of an arcade feel which is refreshing. No perks or crazy kill streaks. The maps are gritty. Fun game.

    Played on the PS3. Completed the campaign and about 8 hours of online play (all modes, maps, classes).

    I rate the modes:

    Campaign: 9
    Online: 6

    The single-player part of this game is great. The story is compelling. Better and longer then MW2. Better then BFBC2. Graphics (in 720p) are somewhere in between those two games. Graphically lacks the polish of MW2 but the locales are magnificent... on par with Uncharted 2! (the best looking console game in history) It was incredible fighting in the mountains. The story is very linear, straight-forward, no nonsense. No collectibles or anything. Very theatrical. Would make a great movie.

    Multiplayer: Where do I start... First, this game WILL get a ton of patches just to get it working right. The lag was horrible. Balance is miserable. Guns have no recoil (therefore, no characteristics, no pros/cons except mag size and damage). Open mic in game but NO MIC in the "Party Lobby". Thats right... when you invite a couple of friends to your "Party" you HAVE to sit in silence until you enter the game. What? Talk about an online game requirement. Come on DICE, are you trying to sabotage the MOH name? Also, no mic between maps. Worst loading times of any game I have ever played.

    With one other member in my party, 8 times over 2 hours, we were split to opposite teams when joining a room. In 2 hours, I was booted due to server issues 5 times. Most of these issues will eventually be fixed.

    Maps/Modes: The maps look great. More realistic then any other game. MW2 is great in looks but lack some of the detail this game has. The junk in the streets and debris everywhere really add a nice touch. Game modes are all pretty standard. TDM, Rush (Attack/Defend), Capture the Flag, etc.

    Gameplay, though, is horrible. Seems like they tried to copy MW2 without just straight riping it off. The problem is, to have a game like MW2, you have to make it just like MW2 or it isn't any good. Plan to be killed instantly upon respawn at least 5 times a match. To be successful you really need to be a camper (sniper or other). Thats the only way to get a positive KDR on a regular basis. As always, if you can get 12 friends together that know what they are doing, you will to better then running with random people.

    In the ways this game is like MW2, MW2 does a lot better.

It is gritty and much more realistic, as realistic as a game can be, it is delivery of this genre. Nothing, that comes to my mind and I have been playing games since the late 70's, comes even close. Call of Duty is an awesome game but lacked the realism you feel with Medal of Honor. The weapons the radio chatter, the environments all make you feel like you are actually there. Now I am not saying that this game is perfect, it does have a few flaws. But they are minor at best. I can say that I am a little slanted in my point of view because I am not a huge multiplayer fan, as you usually end up with a bunch of people who figure out how to cheat and make that part of most gaming a joke. That being said my opinion is based mostly on the single player side of this game, so take my review for what it is worth. But if you enjoy a good solid single player game, go get this one.

I don't even know where to start when talking about the online multiplayer mode. It's like a giant step backwards in online gaming. I honestly got sick of it after only 2 days. The maps are tiny and it seems like there are only about 4 or 5 different maps. You can't really customize your character very much either, you can get some minor weapon upgrades but you can't pick what type of grenades you want or if you want to carry smoke and there are no flash bangs. The controls are sloppy and I have to jump like 10 times to make it over a tiny anthill. I would rate the online mode about 2 or 3. It also seems that everyone on this game is a sniper and half the time I die before I even take 2 steps. Plus since you need to do well to unlock weapons upgrades it actually takes experience points away from you when you have more deaths than kills. So basically you're stuck in the middle and it's nearly impossible to get to the elite weapons upgrades. I can't believe I traded in BFBC2 for this crap. That game was sooo much better online.

    If you're an online gamer I would definitely stay away from this game and if you want to just play the story mode then just rent this and you will probably beat it in a day or two.

    MP, I would give an 8.0; the reason being is that it has a great foundation but it needs tweaking, also there is not quite enough maps, therefore I deduct 1 point for each flaw.

    While this is definitely not a game for everyone, if you like military games that require you to at least think about what you're doing, you'll enjoy this. I would HIGHLY recommend combat mission and objective raid multiplayer modes over team assault and sector control. The multiplayer is definitely at its best in combat mission, and objective raid is a close second.

    Overall, i'm giving this a user score of 9, simply because I feel that while I would rate the mp 8; it is getting a patch very soon which will fix a lot of the issues; and DICE did listen to some of the user issues for a day 1 patch and added things like muzzle climb and so on, because of this I feel it brings it to an overall 9.

If you want a tactical experience with a fresh look and feel get MOH, if you want a run and gun. Go with Black Ops, my type of style is more BC2 and MOH for sure. More thought behind it. Also, you Get the Beta For Battlefield 3. You really have nothing to lose. Great Game, Best FPS for sure after Bad Company 2. Enjoy every second of it. Expand

    Great game. The speed is a little too fast but it is MUCH better than MW2 and on par with battlefield. What is going to really make or break this game as the best FPS is the future map packs. If they create decent sized maps then it will be a true winner as the best FPS to date. The sounds are amazing, graphics are on par with most other games and menus are well layed out.

    Theres a reason why review sites gave this game average scores. Every review has the words "Modern Warfare 2" and "Call of Duty". For Christs sake, why does Call of Duty have to be a benchmark for every FPS game. Look at MW2 user score on Metacritic, then compare that to Medal of Honor. This game is great. Its a new refreshing feeling from Modern Warfare 2. You dont get OMA-DC noob tubedTheres a reason why review sites gave this game average scores.

    A successful comeback of the Medal of Honor-series, which is far away from reaching the top-ranks of the shooter genre. The short amount of the single-player campaign is really annoying.

    Medal of Honor doesn't become the current image of Electronic Arts – probably the most "humane" of all videogame corporations. Danger Close Games' debut reminds of a time when EA was a gloomy assembly line churning out soulless yearly sequels and movie tie-ins.

    Medal of Honor is the thinking man's Call of Duty. If you like shooting terrorists but felt the story and campaign of Modern Warfare 2 was too darn stupid, this is the game for you. Mechanically it's close to its competitor, but content-wise it's a class better and more thoughtful. It's an enjoyable if short experience that is bound to leave a lasting impression.
