Medal of Honor (sort of) review

I realized I had this sitting in my draft’s folder for about a month and I never posted it. I played Medal of Honor over a week period on an XBOX 360, with my 32” TV and my Turtle Beach headphones.

CAMPAIGN

The annoying:

  • Characters stuck in spots.
  • Areas don’t move forward unless some hidden dude behind a wall is killed (who doesn’t come out to find you, or make any effort to hint that he exists)
  • The audio triggers don’t trigger at the right time.. (tho when it works, its awesome).
  • Zero explanation on how to use some of the features (target missiles, etc).

The awesome

  • Campaign looks wonderful most of the time.
  • Guns feel hefty and sound great!
  • Controller layout is good (I like the L thumper for other gun, and Y for quick pistol draw).
  • Super cool sliding move to hide behind rocks.

No deal-breaker, but no deal-maker either:

  • Story is nothing out of the ordinary, although very patriotic.
  • Hidden HUD.

MULTIPLAYER

The annoying:

  • Its like playing Battlefield Bad Company 2
  • Everything in the screen is so small and blended together that you can’t tell apart the building wall from the dude standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!
  • The controls are different in multiplayer.
  • The guns are puny.
  • Can’t go prone.
  • Not that many maps.
  • Matching servers suck.
  • Absolutely no information on how to use the “Rewards”.

The awesome:

  • No screaming 12 year olds playing the game.
