I tried a grenade, only to see it pop apologetically in mid-air. My shooter instincts kicked in, and I went to flank, hopping up and down at a low wall in front of the gun like an impatient, gun-toting whack-a-mole. When MoH isn't trying to ape its peers, it fares a lot better.īack in the Afghan desert, my four-man squad and I were faced with a well-fortified machinegun nest. I aimed a screen-filling sniper-rifle repeatedly, puncturing heads from a kilometre away as my spotter called out targets in a watered down version of Modern Warfare's silky 'one shot, one kill' mission. As decreed by ancient law or something, I was forced to direct shots fired by everyone's favourite military namedrop, God's own giant fucking plane o'guns – an AC130. The first segment of Tier One missions are Call of Duty rejects, cod-CoD gimmicks that get used once or twice then tossed. Prior to the stand in the desert, Medal of Honour isn't sure what it is. By the time I was stuck in the bed of a valley with my Ranger squad, tributaries of Taliban forming a river of pissed-off militants, I'd lost my cynical critical connection, and was genuinely wishing for evacuation. Much more and I'd have broken out whooping “USA! USA!” Tough to explain to the office. For a short while following that ambush, every “OO-RAH!” that I'd otherwise have winced at became a statement of intent, every kill-shot a revenge strike for the unfair murder of my pretend buddies. My helicopter ride downed, I felt a minuscule approximation of the confusion and panic EA's co-opted soldiers mentioned in their pre-game primers. In the combat boots of the Ranger, the rocks and dust of Afghanistan itself seemed to want to kill me, twatting mortar strikes and RPG fire into my landing point. Before, I was an extension of the nighttime scenery, silently killing in the dark. Halfway in, you get control of an Army Ranger – a more typical grunt. The first section of the game is in the secret shoes of Tier One operators, and feels resolutely retro in its approach: four men versus the world. Very nice graphics and music, the dialogues are great, the missions are good.But damn, if I didn't get suckered in. Minor glitches happens here and there, but nothing game breaking. The campaign is short, but feels good and heroic to play. After searching on the Internet and trying everything for a bit, I find that disabling mouse acceleration improves a lot. Running, crouching, even aiming and moving the mouse feels pretty bad. There is a significant input-lag for me, almost half a seconds. Not a big deal, but still pretty annoying. Once updated, the game will fail to launch via Origin, you need to launch the game manually via the game installation folder again.
The updater will fail to update the game, and you have to manually launch the updated from the game installation folder. First of all, the game doesn't launch properly via EA Origin app. I play purely for the single player campaign, since I am not a fan of multiplayer FPS.

If you need a break from the arcade style of recent first-person shooters, then go out and get yourself a copy of Medal of Honor (2010) for a more realistic take on gaming. Overall, this is a successful solid reboot of the series. Voice acting is spot on, and music delivers a punch. Graphics and visuals can go from dull and average to absolutely stunning and attractive, depending on the mission. There are a few maps out right now, but more will be out soon. The MP runs of an exp-based system where earning points awards you with new upgrades to your weapon such as sights and barrels and types of ammunition. You'll be dead soon and will hate the game for it. You can't just run in and start shooting everything like in CoD. In this MP, you actually require a bit of skill to do well. The game delivers its best in its multiplayer.
You'll go from stealthy sniping missions, to full out warfare and cave raids. You are a Tier 1 Operator, a unique brand of soldiers who are sent into the most intense action.
You are in the War in Afghanistan, fighting the Taliban forces in actual operations that took place in 2001-2005. The SP is action-packed but short, with only 5 hrs of gameplay. This game is about realism, not arcade shooting. The SP is action-packed but short, with only 5 hrs of Not a CoD beater but definitely close.
