I Like it!!!
First half of game isn't very interesting Weapons can be tough to aim thanks to recoil and poor hit detection Lots of little flaws detract from the overall experience. "

So far I happen to love this game and the "Cons" noted by GS here are not worth the low grade, I'll explain.
I have played all of the MOH series to date and the weapons react very much the same (with very few noticable differences) all across the series. If you ask me, I think the weapons act more realistic in that, a lot of the weapons from that time period had excessive RECOIL! Not sure about some of you younger gamers in here but I am sure most of you never fired a WW2 era machine gun or high caliber rifle in real life? Trust me, they are NOT accurate even at close range, so I welcome the more difficult hit boxes, moving targets and hard to aim and fire weapons. They were heavy, the situational circumstances made it difficult to concentrate and take proper aim, etc. So run and gun or spray and pray, was sometimes the only way to survive a firefight such as the one you're dropped into during the first level sequences. Aside from that, sometimes a simple or less interesting task was all you had for orders for a small Airborne Squad such as the one you're in...Might not be interesting to take out AA Batteries but nessesary if you want to advance your air support safely. Besides, orders are orders soldier!
The action in this game is second to none! You start out with your squad jumping over a heated battle scene below. Your plane gets shot up and burns and crashes in the distance as you chute down to the DZ amid mortar and gun fire as tracer rounds streak through the night sky, men shouting out commands and distress, explosions, bullets ricochet off walls and metal or make a sickening flesh and bone thump, though an unfortunate soldier just feet from you!
I highly recommend this game! Just pure fun and a moving work of art to behold! The graphics create the appropriate mood and you can almost smell the gunpowder and burning materials all around.
Cya on the Battlefield!
