    Awesome game, just finished playing several hours on multiplayer and about an hour on single player. All I can say is "don't listen to the haters" (especially COD fanboys, employees and the like). The game is great on so many levels...especially it's realism. Can't put my finger on it but it feels like you're actually in combat. Definitely a buy in my books.

    How can people say that call of duty is amazing and this game isn't? The graphics are atleast an 8. The story is a 7 but good. The multiplayer is a 9 (it may not be perfect but it is fun). And the replay value is a 10 because it can easly add up to 24 hours of gameplay. this game deserves nothing less than an 8 if you like FPS's. Think about it.

    I spent some time last night trying out all the various game types the game has to offer, and I feel the need to to correct a few things I've seen people "mark points off" for. Number one. There are small maps, there are medium maps, and there are large maps. The large maps can be found on objective type games types such as "combat mission" where the map seems to ever expand.

    Number two. Though there are no longer "squads" like in BFBC2, if you are on the attacking side of objective based missions, you can pick whether you wish to re-spawn on the front line or back at the base, though not as clean as squad spawns, this serves its purpose well.

    Number Three. There is a M3A3 in some missions, though its use is thankfully limited to the "attacking" team and can be disposed of rather quickly with good strategies. All in all, it isn't MW2, and it isn't BFBC2. This is a nitty-gritty more realstic FPS. There is nothing wrong with having those in a game, but MoH doesn't include any fantasy "perks" (Heartbeat sensors in MW2, and repair tools in BFBC2 ring a bell?) MoH is a hardcore FPS that brings a few of us back to the days when Call of Duty was about shooting straight and knowing good strategy and less about perks and titles    … Expand

    This is a solid game. Don't let anyone tell you differently. The Single Player is a little short, but it is very fun! Tier 1 mode is very difficult! On to multiplayerr now (My favorite). The MP is crafted by DICE and is AMAZING! I can log hour upon hour and still crave another match! I suspect I will be playing this multiplayer until battlefield 3!

    I like it. It's exactly between BFBC2 and MW2 arcade s**t. I was bored after playing MW2 MP arcade style but BFBC2 MP is more about running than killing. MOH is exactly what I was looking for.
    Minus pts: very short and easy SP (5hrs max)
    Plus pts: audio(DICE rocks), graphic, MP

    This is *my* review. I'll review only MP, played on Xbox 360 (also in relation to BC2 and CoD:BO/MW2)

    MoH MP sits between BC2 and MW2/BO. It is all infantry but in a Frostbite/Dice environment. Result of this is that the gameworld feels BC2, but it is far more action oriented. So you'd expect it to feel like MW2/BO? No sir, MoH MP feels much more adult. Sure there are killstreaks to be    This is *my* review.

    MoH MP sits between BC2 and MW2/BO. It is all infantry but in a Frostbite/Dice environment. Result of this is that the gameworld feels BC2, but it is far more action oriented. So you'd expect it to feel like MW2/BO? No sir, MoH MP feels much more adult. Sure there are killstreaks to be earned (kind of) and dying and respawning is quick. But this is definitly not MW2/BO.

    While there is the basic TDM gamemode you have also a Dice/BC special which is 'Combat Mission', a sequence of single objectives to meet (attack or defend). A good Combat Mission can take 15-20 minutes and it is all action. The good thing about Combat Mission is that it streamlines and orgnanises the battle. So although it is hectic, there is still the feeling of sense. 12 guys attacking 1 point, and 12 other guys defending that point. It makes for extremely frantic gunfight and a good Combat Mission where both teams do their job and are matched is one of the best gaming experiences i've ever had (counting from 1985 up that is:). A good Combat Mission is easily as good as a good Rush in BC2, but this time with 12 footsoldiers versus 12 footsoldier which is imho just more fun (i like infantry, i never am good in Heli flying:)

    So where does that leave MW2/BO? Well frankly, those games are much more directed to the mass, even kids (although it is an 18+ game!?). I mean, just think about the BO RC carbomb. Fun, if you like that sort of things, but for me? No, i don't want it. But even the BO hardcore/barebones are much too run&gun for me. For me it is hectic but without the fun. I simply don't find BO enjoyable

    To put it better, i don't find BO enjoyable next to MoH. Moh is much more fun to me. (in the MW2 days, i played that game, until BC2 arrived, then i started with BC2 and never gave MW2 a second look)

    Conclusion/advice: If you like 12vs12 infantry-only battles in a Frostbite/Dice environment, then MoH is definitely for you! So my marks MP:

    MoH = 9/10 (more maps needed!)

    (in respect to BC2 = 9/10 and CoDBO = 6,5/10)

Before CoD, an FPS used to be a thing of beauty they required skill to play, campers were non existent and you had to have an IQ above 30. The inane dribble that spews out of the corporate mouth of Activision known as Call of Duty has tarnished the name of the FPS forever. These games that are thrown at gamers every year are nothing more than a marketing and moneymaking scheme by the greedy fat cats of Activision to make millions of dollars...correction: BILLIONS of dollars...from the gamers of America who don't know any better, and now whenever a good game comes along that even remotely resembles a CoD game these ignorant people spread forth a web of hate that discourages anyone who might be even remotely interested in buying the game. Medal of Honor is one of these games, a great game that got put down because of all the Call of Duty fanatics who were probably just too bad at the game to give it a good review. Its not like Call of Duty at all so STOP comparing it to it because i have some news for you... FPS games set in the modern time are going to happen and just because the RPG looks similar... WHAT do you want it to look like? A kitten? a train? take your pick there's lots of random objects we can make it look like. Or because the game includes the M14 or the M4A1 does not mean ts a CoD knock off. These games are genuinely good and have actually had some significant thought and programming time put into them. These games are not released every year like some games *cough* Call of Duty *cough* with not thought or possible innovative technique included, but the same game repackaged over and over again with a different venue. Medal of Honor requires a amount of skill that CoD gamers do not understand, the cover in these games is not for show you ACTUALLY NEED TO USE IT!!!!!!!! OMG SHOCK OMG!!!! yeah you cant run around like Rambo Jesus tanking bullets to the face and somehow manage to kill everyone shooting at you with a quick burst of blind fire. MoH requires tactics and skill the 2 things call of duty does not require, and that is the reason that this game gets put down. Its a Damn shame that a game as good as this one gets wasted. If you not blinded by the CoD sickness and can still tell good from bad go pick this game up, you wont be disappointed.… Expand

I am a big fan of FPS and each of these titles have good points and bad points. But I am not going to compare this product to either because it's not supposed to be the same as the other titles.
    In short, the Single player is short. The Graphics are superb, and the audio is outstanding. The Multiplayer makes online gaming fun by putting everyone on a fairly level playing field for Newbies and Veterans alike. Action is quick and the audio is amazing. The graphics are very good, but toned down, I believe to prevent things like lagging in a smoke screen, etc.

The maps are somewhat small, and snipers are dominant. There are only 8 maps at launch, but there will be more coming soon. This game does not have a lot of bells and whistles,but it is a solid game overall. The single player alone makes it worthy of a rental, but decide for yourself if the multiplayer is your kind of game. I think a lot of the negative feelings people have for the multiplayer is due to not getting used to the brutality of the game, learning the maps, and the weapons, and the lack of all the extras games give players these days.

Definitely feels more like a classic FPS where it's not all run and gun, snipers are a part of the mix but a good player knows how to counter that. I actually enjoy the fact that I have to think about running out in the open. Feel way more real. Again not as over the top arcadey as COD but there should be space in the marketplace for both because both can provide hours of fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would like to start this review by pointing out to EVERYONE, this is not call of duty or battlefield. No comaprison should be drawn and any review which compares these games is not a review but a comparsion, journalistic suicide when writing a REVIEW. So lets begin. Graphically this game is superb, beautiful back drops, excellent water and night time effects, detail on weapons and explosions is exemplary. 9/10 Medal of Honor sounds amazing, each weapon has its own charcterisitic bang or click, the silencers are real life accurate, not a silent click speech is clear and explosions are good, however when alot of backround noise is present it seems to be very overpowering. 8/10 the campaign is a bit linear and a bit short but the gameplay is fantastic, realistic, characters move in a realistic fashion, weapons dont hold target for a full magazine a nice touch. each weapon has fire select modes a feature which is a must for any modern shooter. the enemy AI is a bit hit and miss in parts it seems that enemies simply want to lie down and be shot but in other parts they are tough and challenging 9/10 Online, the game is simply amazing, realsim, great cusomisation, you can see your bullets hitting a target, damage is realistic, its fast paced and accurate, sniper rifles will kill with one shot, pistols with two well aimed. the maps are big expansive and suit every type of player. the game modes available are fast paced and varied with a good hardcore mode. However there seems to be soem problems with the physics of the maps, enemies appearing through walls and other objects flung by explosion stuck in walls. 8/10 Final word is that medal of honor depicts a realife conflict, with real life weapon characteristics and real life attachements. Overall a very very enjoyable game and sits up there with the best shooters made.… Expand

    Medal of Honor is by no means perfect, but it did alot of things right. The sounds and music is the best I've heard on any game (and yes.. even the Linkin Park song). The graphics, while not perfect, are still better than anything I've been on Fallout or dare I say the "no-no word" Modern Warfare. The biggest problem I had with the game was the story.

The graphics, while not perfect, are still better than anything I've been on Fallout or dare I say the "no-no word" Modern Warfare. The biggest problem I had with the game was the story. I think Danger Close missed a great opportunity to make a game based on an ongoing war , and give it some perspective. I have never been to war or joined the armed forces, but I am sure the sacrafices these men and women make for our freedoms is far more relative than just going from point A to point B for no apparent reason. On the multiplayer side, I have never been much of a fan of any multiplayer to begin with. But in all honesty, I found myself clocking in a few hours. I thought the progression system was relatively simple (perhaps thats the problem?), and I have yet to encounter any lag and/or campers (but again, I have not played multiplayer to great extents).

    Perhaps the coolest additions to the game was the "Tier 1 Mode." Very fun and addictive. Although not perfect, I honeslty hope EA continues to support this game (some story driven DLC instead of the dreaded map packs...?) and gets another crack at it in Medal of Honor 2. It was an honorable attempt.. one which I think deserves more credit than its been getting.    … Expand

    Basically if you are tired of the "Sprint 10 feet, aim down sights, kill a guy, sprint 10 feet, aim down sights, kill a guy; repeat ad naseum" gameplay that the CoD series has been slowly degenerating into since MW1 then you'll enjoy this game.

    If you're 12 years old and think somethings crap because it doesn't have a helicopter crashing every 10 seconds then this game is best avoided.

    If you're 12 years old and think somethings crap because it doesn't have a helicopter crashing every 10 seconds then this game is best avoided. The multiplayer is excellent and feels like a more distilled version of Bad Company 2, it has no vehicles and yes the maps are smaller but many of them are similiar in size to Call of Duty and it's really not a problem.

    Personally I think the gameplay in multiplayer is much more enjoyable than in CoD (which I've put about 5 days gametime into over MW1 and 2, not loads but more than enough to know) as it encourages a slower more tactical approach to gameplay which CoD doesn't just severely lack but is not totally devoid of in random games. The fact there are no perks or any of that stuff actually balances the game better as well, and thank god there are no kill streaks.

    Basically if you want a game that has excellent MP, are sick of CoD but Battlefield doesn't suit you, you should pick this up.    … Expand

    Unfinished, or at the very least, unpolished. [Issue#102, p.112]

    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.
