Medal of Honor: Warfighter

A talented team, a great engine, a good intellectual property, and a predecessor to build upon: this had all the makings of a decent shooter. Something had to have gone wrong that we still do not know about, cause it's polished and fun at some points and insanely sloppy at others. There's a reason this arguably killed the franchise.

One reviewer said this was one of the greatest game's they'd ever played... Well, I can't exactly match that sentiment, but I will say that this was a pretty enjoyable first person shooter for a game that was free for PS+.

This is the only Medal of Honor game I've played, so keep in mind that I'm not judging the rest of the series. But the gameplay/controls felt pretty clunky at times.

The characters and story were equally unengaging and forgettable. I've seen the story described as being emotionally charged, but I can't remember a thing about it, and I never skipped a cutscene. It was just dull and boring.

Still, I think it's a more than playable game. If you're really into FPS games, I'd say give it a shot if the price is reasonable.

I've made it clear in the past how I feel about FPS video games. There are just too many of them. I feel that they are dangerous, and may well sink the video games industry at some point when the market inevitably becomes oversaturated with them. The war-based FPS games are the worst, often glorifying aggression in foreign countries and making heroes out of invading forces. For games set in the past, such as the very first Medal of Honor games (so innocent compared to this, and now so far removed from Steven Spielberg's original idea) I can accept this, but for games set in the present day (which most are) the thought of thousands of angry teenage boys having fun sniping people for hours on end deeply disturbs me. Electronic Arts try to inject a story of a man torn between duties in Warfighter in an attempt to separate it a bit more from Call of Duty and Modern Combat, but they are all the same to me.

There's literally nothing here that you haven't seen before, except you've not seen it done as poorly as this. There will be multiple moments when you have to carefully snipe a bad guy, and you've got him locked in your sights, only for the bullet to, completely impossibly, NOT hit. There will be other times when your mission doesn't advance forward, causing you to restart from the last checkpoint in the hope that perhaps this time it will work properly. Chuck in generic foreign meat dummies, lots of bad language, poorly designed areas, bad lighting, terrible aiming, and you've got yourself a very forgettable game.

They should stop making these. There are enough FPS games out there to last even the most blood-thirsty, gun-happy unhealthy teenagers for a long time. It is liberal with trophies at the very least.

Graphics C Sound A Gameplay C- Lasting Appeal D

I have to say. I was REALLY anticipating this one. And all the things I was excited to see in this, got weighed down by the most aggravating glitches 24/7, a story I thought was going to be great but instead was confusing, incredibly clichéd and underwhelming (cinematics looked visually stunning though). I have to say, I enjoyed the 2010 one much more, landscapes looked amazing, character facial detail was meh, but animations were actually better than the ones in WF's actual game play. In Warfighter, landscapes look like paintings no matter how close you are, the 2010 one had much more depth in the landscape graphics, while keeping an authentic feel. Here The only thing that made this game good was Frostbite 2, that is if you're a console user, you probably might hate this more than the 2010 game. Was really gonna try to love it, it felt like it wanted me to hate it. Not a Battlefield fan at all, but I have to say BF3 is a much better game than this.

Warfighter is extremely emotionally charged and powerful. Fans of the last MoH will NOT be disappointed with the sequel. I am a hardcore gamer so I play almost everything that comes out, but this game has such a touching story behind the incredibly detailed visuals and incredibly fun game play. Fans of the Battlefield series will know what to expect from the multiplayer as it's pretty much identical. Old and familiar faces appear in this title and a friend is lost, adding to the surrealism of the game. Worthy to note since I'm an achievement hunter, this game is great for some easy achievements. My first playthrough got me 530 gamerscore. A highly recommended title for any fan of military shooters or anyone looking for a great and captivating story.
