Short but amazing.
What are the main new features of the game? Well, it's the paradrop of course. At the start of each level you jump out of a plane and have total freedom of where you want to land on the level. You can land wherever the hell you want but of course, some places are safer than others, example, landing further away from an objective is safer than landing closer. You can do your objectives in any order thanks to the free-roaming environments. Finally, this MOH game brings much more freedom to the series which is something I had been waiting for for a long time.
Another new feature are the weapon upgrades. The more you use a certain weapon and the more kills you make with it, you are rewarded with upgrades such as increased accuracy and power, larger magazine holds etc. This is good new feature too. Before you start each mission you are allowed to choose 2 weapons (you actually have 3 but you have to take the pistol by default). Again, this is very useful because you dont have to use what you are given. Once you are playing you can also swap your weapons for the enemies so dont worry about ammo.
What is the combat like? Good fun if you ask me, and sometimes intense. You will see many of your fellow paratroopers around you, fighting and getting killed. The new aiming system is perfect. You hold down mouse button 2 to look down the sights of your gun and use W A S D to stand up, crouch and lean around corners. It's just so much easier now. However, you cant walk or run when aiming. The AI of the enemy is pretty good, nothing special but not bad. Enemies will take cover and climb over obstacles etc. They also like to throw an awful lot of grenades at you. However, the grenade indicator helps you avoid them and you can now kick grenades if they get too close. All the levels are good but the last level in particular was amazing. It features an absolutely huge-sky scraper-size 'flak tower' in the middle of a huge ruined city. The game is short but very impressive.
Next, graphics and sound. Visually, this is an impressive game thanks to the Unreal Engine 3 which also powers Gears Of War. The game's textures are nice and gritty and the character models look damn good. The lighting is really nice too. You'll need a fairly powerful PC to see it at it's best but the game does not require ridiculous requirements. The sound is really good like all MOH games with realistic effects and great music.
Finally, the multplayer. The game has a few new maps and re-workings of MOH Allied Assault maps. There are 3 great game-modes that will provide plenty of enjoyment. Airborne Deathmatch is my favourite where Allies parachute in and Axis defend.
Overall this is by far one of the finest games in the MOH series and one of the best WW2 shooters i've ever played. OK, it's short but I enjoyed it loads and the multiplayer is really fun. I recommend it to all WW2 fans and MOH fans.
