Warfighter...

http://ocdgaming.org/2012/02/24/medal-of-honor-warfighter/

Check out my blog post and tell me what you guys think of the next iteration in the Medal of Honor franchise. I think it's pretty silly. For GS users, there's a link to my blog in my sig--just click the image.

The name is dumb, and if anything their copying Ghost Recon with the name. But it might be ok. The first one was terrible, boring campaign and unbalanced multiplayer with bad maps, maybe without Dice doing the multiplayer it has a chance of being decent this time, and FPS campaigns are always pretty bad so not expecting much.

I'm assuming you understand that the term Warfighter isn't uncommon in military lingo. It's been used for quite a long time, so I don't understand the "copying" claim.

In regards to Medal of Honor. I think the rebooted series deserves a chance at redemption. I got what they were trying to do. The characters weren't cartoon caricatures like they are in Call of Duty. I saw the evenness of the dialogue in place of Hollywood-type yelling. I saw the intetion to paint the tier 1 operators as quiet professionals.

Unfortunately, any sense of .... I dont' want to use the term realism... or even authenticity, but you get my drift.... the game was marred by game-breaking bugs and bits that seemed to game-y.

If they can remedy that, I'd like to see a new Medal of Honor game.

I don't think they've thrown anything away by using the Warfighter moniker. It's no less cheesy than Medal of Honor or Call of Duty. At least it's not as summer blockbuster cliche like (sorry Cliff) Bulletstorm.

What differentiates the franchises is the actual gameplay. Once they've established that, I believe gamers will be able to tie the name to the sty|e of play.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier makes me roll my eyes a little, even though the Future Soldier program is a real thing. But at this point, GR has already carved its niche in the military shooter space. That game seems to be going in the right direction with the tag and execute mechanic. My only problem with it is that it's tilting toward the realm of sci-fi with the active camo... and the story telling has been kinda groan-worthy. I hope Medal of Honor brings it back to the present day with a story that's grounded a bit more in reality.

So I'm cautiously optimistic.

That's kinda the point though, is that the first Medal of Honor game was supposed to be different than COD and show these Tier 1 guys with a different type of gameplay. Less take on half the world and more covert precision strike kind of gameplay, and most people feel the first game failed at that. Now, with naming the game Warfighter, it's like they've thrown all that away and have just gone with what other companies have found success with. It's all about sales.VoodooHak

Shooters are doing what they can to keep up with COD's sales and it's sad. I personally am looking for to the new Ghost Recon a lot and I"m always down for a good SP playthrough if the new MOH is solid. I just don't know what to expect from the MP.

WARFIGHTER!

I like both MOH and COD, both mainly for the storyline and campaign, which is much better than multiplayer in alot of respects, IMO. I look forward to Warfighter. The first MOH game was pretty solid, so I think this will be good. Does anyone know what the setting and location are for it?

I'm moderately excited for Future Soldier. At least they're trying something different.
