They were going to make it possible to play as Taliban, but they would have lost the "Designed by real soldiers" deal if they did, so they backed out on it.

I will check this out when Gamefly sends it to me, but I got Fallout New Vegas, Fable III, FFXIV and Rock Band 3 all lined up prior.

SPOILERS BE HERE.



So i just finished playing through Medal Of Honor. it was a fairly short game, but pretty intense all the way through. lots of similarities to Modern Warfare 2 in terms of length and keeping the action highly tuned. it got somewhat repetitive as i got further into it. the game takes you go through some of the same locations with different squads completing missions that intertwine the two. If it isn't a mountain range your fighting your way through, its a small grouping of huts that need to be cleared out as you reach your objective. There were some really cool set pieces that broke up some of the action along the way though. An ATV ride through goat passes in the dead of night, a couple of super long range sniper set ups, and the most exciting was an on rails portion where you get to control the weapons of an Apache helicopter taking out mortar outposts and ammo depots along the mountain ranges of Kandahar.

I had a big problem with the ending after i finished the game because i didn't know i was playing through the final chapter. it really sneaks up on you and although you feel like you're reaching the ending, there is little indication to when exactly its going to happen....however, unlike MW2, there is not a main fictional antagonist whom you're hunting after the entire time, which could have caused for the unforeseen conclusion. While the main draw of this game for me was that it was designed with the input of four marines who had lived through very similar experiences the game presents to the player, I did not realize until the end that the negative impact of that could be a more open ended finish than i had anticipated.

as for the multiplayer, i don't like it. No killcams, a much smaller list of playable game modes than i'm used to, singular spawn points for the only team deathmatch game available, maps are played twice unless everyone skips, customization seems relegated to your weapon loadout which is also a short list. this mode doesn't hold a candle to MW2 which is about to vastly improve its popularity with the release of Call of Duty Black Ops.

Despite the lacking multiplayer mode, i enjoyed the games single player campaign and look forward to playing it again on the harder difficulty. Tier 1 playability introduces new challenges for the single player campaign which includes an online ranking system, further increasing the replay value.

Overall i give Medal of Honor a 7/10. Its worth a purchase if you love a solid FPS with a multiplayer portion that offers something different than MW2. It'll hold you over until Black Ops comes out and you can get great re-sale value come November.
