I almost liked this game, until I got to the end and did some thinking.

Ok, You've heard the pros - weapon upgrades, nice lighting system, original para-drop idea, decent animations. Now, lets talk about everything else. Very few enemies drop their weapons (like a game from the 90s), after you clear some rooms, enemies literally spawn right behind you. Sometimes, even when you are looking at the spawn area! There is almost NO scripting, and by that, I mean there is literally almost NO story to be had in Airborne, save for cursory "briefings" and about 3 scenes where people talk to you in the game. The worst part is the total lack of quick save, or even SAVE other than checkpoints. Don't even try to finish this game on extreme difficulty without cheating. Enemies blind-fire with EXTREME accuracy, and towards the end of the game, the MG-42 uber-nazi BOSSES (yes, you heard me right, BOSSES in a MOH game! AND NOT COOL BOSSES.) ruin everything. We're talking nazis with apparently kevlar for skin and titanium bones, weilding MG-42s. The problem is that they can see 180 degrees, and have NO turn animation. So, if you flank one, they will see you LITERALLY INSTANTLY and open fire. Getting caught in ONE burst from an mg-42 on hard can kill you, and when you couple that with the fact that ALL THE ENEMIES come back if you die and redrop, regardless of which ones you already killed, you get a game that is HONESTLY JUST PATHETIC. Did I mention the singeplayer campaign is only 6 very short missions? Multiplayer is a complete joke because of axis lame-a$$es who just camp one spot with sniper rifles and PICK YOU OFF BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND. This is, overall, one of the least satisfying WWII shooters I have ever played. I think it's awful that gamespot gave this thing even a 7.0. It's misleading people into thinking this game is at least 50% good. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
