After playing Medal of Honor I have to say this game might go down as 2010's biggest dissapointments. Don't get me wrong, I think th game is pretty sweet. I am really enjoyed the campaign, but it did have its fair share of flaws and was much shorter than expected. First off, for a game that used the Unreal 3 engine, I was let down by the texturing and jaggies throughout. The enviroments did look pretty hot, but the sky often looked like some oil painting and the characters just didn't look as well rendered as competiting games. Worst of all the framerate dropped hard in some spots and there were some odd discoloring effects. Overal, I did enjoy the campaign but I think Danger Close should have added co-op or at least made it longer and less scripted. For a game trying hard to dethrone COD, this sure wasn't the best effort you could have put forward.
As for MP, well its a load of fun and it plays fast, but it just doesn't have enough dept of weapons or options to keep players playing this game long term. Good thing EA has the online pass for this game because I can see a ton of copies ending up on Gamestop shelves by the time COD Black Ops comes out. Hate to admit, but the should have copied the kill cam option from COD because you get shot so often in MOH by sniper fire and you can't tell where it came from. So far alot of campers on this game and its just a couple days old.
If I have to rate this game, I will give it a solid 8. It does enough well, and sorta sets its own identity from other shooters but at the same time comes up short for a game that shoulda been longer, deeper, and more polished. MOH feels like a game that could have used about 6 months more developement time. Oh well, maybe next time EA.
