Great multiplayer, decent campaign - but overall a great game for those who want more realism and coop in multiplayer.

Starting with MP - it really doesnt get much better than this. The only negatives I can find are backed by positives. Enemies can get to your spawn area, but if properly using smoke grenades and teamwork they can easily be spotted and taken out. Perks for kill streaks seems ripped from COD, but at least an option is given to either help your offense (rocket strike or full ammo for your team), instead of someone launching helicopters or AC130's, which really takes from the "teamwork" aspect of a shooter. Other reasons the MP works so well in MOH include an almost forced cooperation in even deathmatch, making mics more useful for teamwork instead of little kids yelling about how cool it is to have a mic and how they "shanked" someone. All three of the classes of soldier work as evenly as the rest. And for once, Ive been in situations where i feel like a real gunfight is going on around me in the game - nice looking smoke, dust, rippling air behind bullets, sounds, and each weapons action (feel much more real than COD or BC)... it works really well.

Since MP is the main reason FPS games have been bought (and probably why DICE was signed on for this game), my 9.0 rating goes mostly towards that. It makes for too great a game to drop my rating any lower, so the one point dropped from 10 goes to how easy and somewhat repetative the campaign is. I have yet to play the Tier 1 online, but the campaign on hard is the easiest Ive ever played. I wouldnt go as far as others and say its a shooting gallery but it definately doesnt offer many challenges. AI is fairly predictible when in cover and respond very slowly if you run up for a knife kill. Enemy physics could be better as well as it appears some objects appear to be lacking detailing (as if someone got lazy). However, there is plenty of dialogue to keep you interested in the storyline and certain moments do pull you into the tactical aspect of the game and away from the out in open shooting of other FPS games out there.

Amazing multiplayer - campaign needs work (and is a little short). Definately worth buying for FPS fans (no more extra health and faster firing rate perks) and especially those (like me) that are sick of running around on your own in chaos, as COD does to your experience.
