    Don't listen to the MW2 fanboys

     Whatever you do, DO NOT pay attention to this review or WATCH the quick look.  I don't know what is up Jeff's butt recently but he is seeming more and more like a fan boy of franchises recently.  This game is a great game.  I have played them all MW2 and BF2.  The story in MW is completely unrealistic even though Jeff would have you believe otherwise, BF is just a goofy story.  I didn't care about any of the characters in either of those two games, but this Medal of Honor I actually feel the emotion they were trying to make you feel in it.  Every type of bad ass weapon you get to put your hands on and fire.  I have never seen a single technical issues other than one point where there was some slow down because of the amount of AQ coming out and the rate of fire I was firing.  Jeff has gone complete MW fanboy here.  The story far surpasses that of MW2.  The only thing that I agree with him about is the Lima Charlie, and other ridiculous phrases they use, but again where was that complain for MW2.  Also the complaint about it being scripted, what "warfare" game isn't there really aren't that many moments where it doesn't let you do something because of the game?  This game displays AI that actually engages your teammates if you stop firing and they continue to fire, giving you the opportunity to flank or move to the side to wipe them out without them seeing you, try that in MW2 you can't also the enemy always knows where you are at even if you are low crawling in MW2.  Also lets not forget the best part of this game since Jeff wants to go fanboy, where there is no "invisible" lines you must cross to stop the enemy from coming out of a  spawning point that is rampant in MW2.  There are a certain amount of enemies you can engage the way you want and when they are done they are done.  In MW2 another non complaint from Jeff where if you don't move forward, close to a hundred guys will continue to come out a two room farm house until you move up.  My comment has gone on to far, but NO ONE should listen to Jeff's and Brad's quick look (which if you put those two together, you will never want to play anything watching them)  or read this review and decided not to play this game.  That's all I want to say, this is a great game, with a great story.  Going in with low expectations from Jeff will make this game even better, when you realize that this game far surpasses the single player of MW2.  
    Adding onto my comment I have now pretty much gotten pretty deep into the multiplayer, and again what is the complaint, it has separate maps for death match and combat missions.  There is no worries about the people that will sit there and play the game for 24 hours a day trying to get the best unlockables making them invisible to UAVs and other stupid things.  I guess that is what the real hate is coming from this game, that it is very close to realistic multiplayer fun.  So the haters from MW2 camp that need their power ups to tear apart people that don't want to just play one game over and over and over are having a hard time really dominating like they do in MW2.  Again don't pay attention to the MW2 fanboys or this review, atleast Gamefly this or rent it if you are on the fence but whatever you do don't pass this buy because of the fanboys.

      A very lackluster AAA release for 2010 0

      Oh poor Medal of Honor, seemed like you were doomed from the start. You come out a month after the sales juggernaut that was Halo Reach and that's not even counting Call of Duty: Black Ops will pull considering the popularity of that franchise. But also, there was always this kind of..."off" feeling about the game, from its severely lackluster beta to the controversy concerning the use of the Taliban, I wasn't exactly having a ton of hopes for the game. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with t...

      Great SP, weak MP. Why? Read on. 0

          I just picked up Medal of Honor a couple of days ago, after pondering whether or not to actually buy it, if any of you are thinking the same then hopefully this review will help you make a decision. It is a first person shooter developed by two branches of EA, there is DICE who dealt with developing the multiplayer aspect of the game and Danger Close (EA LA) who worked solely on developing the singleplayer side of the game. The aim of the game for them was to create a direct challenge to Mo...
