    Nothing special here.. But worth a rent.. I guess..

    Yet another WW II game.. Again some Nazis need to be killed.. Hmm i dont know how many times i have done that.. But i guess this stuff is getting cold and its high time a WW II game releases where u play the Nazis or Hiltler himself.. Well u may wonder if m bugged playing WW II games then why the hell did i buy it.. Well i dint buy it.. Just borrowed it from my friend.. Anywayz bout the game.. As mentioned earlier u need to kill the nazis and ur in the Airborne division ant thus u need to jump off planes to get into the battlefield which is real fun..

    I did finish MOH: Airborne but i have no idea whats the story.. When a mission starts u will be asked to jump off a plane to enter the battlefield and u are given a bunch of objectives just finish them and the mission is complete.. There are only 6 missions in this game but nothing to worry each mission will take nearly 90-120 min or even more depending on the difficulty and overall u will be getting a solid 10-14 hrs of single player campaign..

    As far as the graphics goes Airborne is a good looking game.. It always runs at a smooth frame rate, if ur system can manage to run it in the first place.. Not that Airborne requires a beefy system.. In order to play it in high settings u will need a mid-high range PC.. U can also play it on low but then u will have to be patient with the slow frame rates.. On the whole Airborne is a good looking game.. But not the lines of Crysis or Gears Of War.. But it does get the job done well..

    The controls in Airborne is very responsive.. But hitting the target can be a bit troublesome cos of the recoil other than that the guns feel great, they also sound fantastic.. The guns are also upgradeable.. There are three badges to earn for each gun.. And for each badge achieved u will be given one upgrade for that gun like zoom,or reduced recoil and many more.. There are also many guns to play with and earning the badge for all the guns will require playing the singleplayer campaign atleast thrice.. The voice acting is also good.. As far as the enemy AI goes.. It is good.. But if u jump onto an enemy all of a sudden , say, from behind the enemy will take time to recognise u and shoot at u.. Other than that Ai is good.. This is the first time that Airborne has tried the non-linear gameplay and its been a success to some extent.. And the all new parachute feature is really cool.. U can pick ur landing zone but its getter to land on the safe zones denoted with the green smoke.. Land anywhere else and its death as u will be welcomed by nearly 20 Nazis.. And trust me u don want that..

    The multiplayer offers 12 player online feature.. One good thing bout the online in Airborne is the lack of lag.. There is no lag at all.. There are bout 12 maps and u can play both ranked and unranked matches.. There are 3 game types.. Team Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch Airborne, and objective. Team Deathmatch is the usual one where the team with highest points win.. Team Deathmatch Airborne is like TD but here the Allies airdrop in and the Axis start on the ground. Objective is where u have to capture and hold three flags on the map. The team to capture all three flags the wins..

    On the whole MOH:Airborne is worth a try.. In the sense, u have been playing a lot of mordern shooters like COD4 or gears or even crysis then Airborne will be a welcome change.. Try it you wont be dissappointed..

      Nice game overall - nice graphics and game play. 0

      This is the first game that actually wants you to die in order to give you a bonus. This is because the only way to collect all 5 landing bonuses of a level is to jump from the plane 5 times. And to jump 5 times means, that you have to day at least 4 times during a level (this is if you ALREADY know where exactly the landing bonus zones are located). Another option would be to hold a grenade during your initial jump and blow yourself to 5 pieces in the air, hoping that you will have at least one...

      Probably the most innovative MoH game in a while--too bad it doesn't last 0

      The idea of entering battles from the sky, especially in games, is relatively new. The 101st Airborne was, to my knowledge, the first group of soldiers to do so in WWII, and now, with MoH: Airborne, we have the opportunity to fight as they did, albeit with much less risk and reality. What follows is a very innovative mechanic that, sadly, doesn't save the game from being a middling experience.Airborne's most touted feature--gimmick, some would say--is the ability to enter a level from the sky, ...
