You'll be enjoying smooth gameplay here no lagging. I didn't experience any problems/bugs during installation or gameplay.The mission objectives are, for the most part, well thought out and fun to execute. Being able to choose from three difficulty levels makes this a fun game for beginners as well as advanced players.I've read a few of the harsh negative reviews about the level gameplay being off. For example, someone commented on being stuck for 10 Minutes waiting for something to happen because they were in the wrong spot. Even if that were to happen, and the chances are really low. Only an idiot would stand around wasting (not 1,not 2,not even 3 Minutes, but 10 Minutes)waiting for something to happen when you have Dynamic HUD to direct you further, and a brain that's supposed to click in and tell you that you missed something. At that point,it wouldn't take a genious to figure it out or restart, which would take a maximum of a couple of minutes. Here's the kicker. I went back to the game just to replay that level to see if I'd get stuck too. I tried 20 times and the answer is no. I asked everyone that I know on- and offline about this and that's quite a few people. Not a single one had that problem either. There are definitely some minor flaws(as with all games), but most of these negative reviews are exaggerated. I grant you that this isn't COD video quality, and it's short, but it's still entertaining and fun.The graphics are better now than in previous medal of honor games, but they could have been better.I have an Intel i7 940 with 16 GB RAMapprox. 2.5 GB HD Video-RAM. So, I definitely expected more as far as graphics go.They were paying attention to some of the details on the screen, but clearly not to all of them. Some areas in my humble opinion were lacking quite a bit.You can adjust the graphics. However, the options were far too few, and don't help much.Although, as far as sound goes, I did like being able to turn the music down some. So, I could hear the objectives better.The story and the objectives were okay. I'd say typical war scenarios. Rescue left behind soldiers. Take out enemy positions by destroying their heavy armor, hold a critical position until back up arrives and so on. I do think they could have used a little more oomph in the soldier's acting/voice lines.This is a solid FPS, but you won't experience too much, if anything new here.There were some things that bugged me during gameplay . 1st, the larger guns. In the beginning of the game they blocked my view when hunting enemies and during combat. They decided to use a camouflage style this time, which created a blind side to my (lower and middle) right viewing area. It blocked my view of enemies even more when I lifted the gun upwards,for example, when I was exchanging fire in the mountains. I got used to it and worked around it after a while.2nd, and above mentioned lack of cutting edge video and settings.so, what bugged me the most? The single player mode was way too short about 1/2 the length that it should have been. That is unusual for a MOH game. I like using the single player to prepare for multiplaying in case the controls are new, and to get a feel for the storylines and gameplay. This time I used Tier 1 as a single player intro to the multiplayer combat. Although there's nothing different in it. You're basically playing the singleplayer with a time limit to beat, no checkpoints,etc.All in all, the good outweighs the bad and makes this game worth playing. However, because of the shortness and lack of ground breaking gameplay. If I had to buy it again, I would have liked to have paid a little less.

I'm a huge fan of FPS's and MOH is a welcome addition to the large collection I already own. The Campaign is long compared to alot of shooters on the market atm and the graphics are fantastic. There are a few glitches but these are easily drowned out in what has to be one of the best looking games of 2010 and even currently. The gameplay is varied and exciting and the sound realistic and crisp. This combination provides an excellent platform with some truly exhilarating moments. As another reviewer has mentioned the scene where you are under siege by waves of Taliban sprinting from the surrounding mountains is thrilling and the level after while manning the weapons of the awesome AH-64 Apache is fantastic fun.There are a number of highlight moments that make this game stick out alongside other greats in the genre. It also has replayability with additional difficulties unlocked upon completion and a cool time attack version of the entire campaign on offer. This envolves starting a level with say 30 seconds on the clock, the only goal being to complete it before it ticks down to zero. Ofcourse the levels are generally very lengthy so to stop that timer ever reaching zero additional time is added for every kill with bonuses on offer for performing headshots and multikills with grenades etc. Getting 10 minutes into a particularly difficult section of the game and hovering around 5-20 seconds while desperatly running to look for that next headshot can really get your adrenaline pumping.The multiplayer is also fairly good and Dice have carried over some of the best and worst bits from their battlefield titles. The weaponry and sounds of battle are second to none. The maps are normally breathtaking, beautifully made and like battlefield, huge! This type of large map however, does seem to attract an awful lot of 1 shot 1 kill snipers who can really become boring. There are some smaller maps which can provide the same sort of running and gunning that Cod titles offer but these maps can have incredibly obvious choke points that whole teams tend to sit and watch through their sights. The amount of this style of 'tactic' quickly becomes tedious for those that prefer to speed round guns blazing. Unfortunately, opening fire like that on this game generally invites a bullet to the head from a sniper on the other side of the map whose legs have gone to sleep and on quite a few occasions entire teams have become trapped in a tiny spawn point on the map with the only exit or exits blocked by the opposing team of snipers. The ranking system and other MP treats such as killstreak rewards aren't quite as good as the likes of MW2 but when a strafing jet or artillery strike does get called in the resulting explosions are a real delight to sit back and watch. The multiplayer definitely requires a gamer with a certain amount of skill and on occasion alot of patience but overall, the mix of gameplay from the campaign and multiplayer, realism, and beautiful graphics make any shortcomings a small problem in an otherwise entertaining offering. Definitely worth a look for the current pricetag and a must for all fans of FPS's. Happy gaming!

I am guessing that people who review this game have not been playing online . because online is superb . probably not as good as Call of duty 4 and MW2 but on a par or better than than black ops which was a let down . I am glad i rented blackops and this but i went out and bought this . The single player feels added on just for people who dont have xbox live but it shines online . Be it a sector control , team deathmatches that are really cool , or missions which are basiclly battlefield bad company missions exploding the other teams [which consists of online players not Ai] area and moving to the next untill all 5 sections have been destroyed and you have pushed all the way ,

I played this because I've only recently got an Xbox 360 and I'm working my way through what all my friends have going on about for the last half decade or so, so dont consider me an expert on Xbox 360 games as up till recently I was more ps2/PC gamer. FPS wise I've played Halo 3/reach, Bulletstorm and Ghost Recon : Future soldier and finished the campaigns but I must say this one, however brief had some of my favorite experiences of xbox 360 FPS's so far.Pros :*Good Graphics, not amazing, but good enough to be immersible.*Gameplay feels solid, probably the best FPS I've played for pure game play on the Xbox.*Characters seem acceptably real, no oscars given out but you can enjoy it,

I was sad to see so many negative comments about this game. I like it!1. Yes. It's relatively short. I'm only an average player. It kept me happy for a few hours.2. The graphics are not as cinematic as Call of Duty. However, they are very good and ran like silk on my mid spec machine.3. The story is better that Modern Warfare 2 (which got a bit surreal towards the end) It feels realistic. I like he characters. Mind you, why is the player character the only one that gets knocked senseless (in CoD too)?!4. It's easier than Call of Duty. On medium difficulty I began to think I was immortal in the early stages. However, it got tougher as the game progressed.5. It doesn't introduce any gaming innovations.

Having heard that the Medal of Honor games were generally regarded as being the poor relations to COD & Battlefield, I thought I would try one out for myself and I'm glad I chose this one as I really loved the campaign for this game. What sets it apart from the more recent modern day COD's & Battlefields is that it is set in Afghanistan and the Taliban are the enemy rather than the usual Russian or Chinese separatists/terrorists that are normally used, so it gives the game a much more topical & realistic feel. You play as different US Special Forces throughout the campaign, and there is more of a stealth & sniper style of gameplay when playing as the Navy Seal & Delta Force Operatives, however,

I bought this game for multiplayer only and so far had a lot of fun. It is good to finally see a well balanced game. Even though some weapons are more suitable for certain maps and game modes, they are all very effective. I no longer feel like I'm giving an advantage to other players by picking a less powerful weapon. Explosives do their job well and are not overpowered. You can effectively scoop out those camper snipers from their hiding spots using an RPG however you will find it counter-productive using it during normal combat. You get kill streaks which give you an incentive to stay alive and complete objectives however you won't be able to abuse these as you can't really dominate a game with them.

[quote]too many buildings and cover its not properly structured like most games go as soon as the game starts snipers camp and that`s it, you wont see where they are because there is no kill cam plus if you try to cross the map to hunt them down you wont even go half way before you dead[/quote]So it pretty much paints the real feel of what it is like on the battlefield then?.Grow a pair soldier and stop being so negative.I was open minded of the multi player side with hearing so much of this negativity?although it is not all that bad.I feel the map`s give you a good urban of street to street fighting and the open map`s give you a good feel of having to keep your head down and use cover.People

Loaded up the game to find it spluttering everywhere, freezing, jerking. The game was literally unplayable.Also played around with the video settings and they didn't even seem to effect the graphics i.e. i turned anti alias on and off and there was no change, same with detail set to medium and high. Even on the highest settings i thought the graphics were appalling for such a new game.So I played the game for 10 minutes and literally had to give up as it was jerk city. I went back to Modern Warfare 2 just to check if my PC (6 months old) was acting up and MW2 played silky smooth.If they can release a patch then hopefully i can give a proper review on the actual gameplay.---Now the game is patched and played the game through to completion i've upped the rating to 4.

I really do like this game.Picked it up on Amazon for £15 before Christmas and although delayed by the Royal Mail, customer service was helpful despite a 2 week wait due to the bad weather.The game story itself isn't much, a fight, a rescue, another rescue and a end of credit animation which reveals there could be a sequel.The in game animation starts of in the same vein of COD, driving into Taliban country and then by the end of the game the graphics (characters) have become cartoony...what was all that about? When you play the first mission and then the last there is a significant drop in quality or style. Weird.The sounds of gunfire, grenades, bullets whizzing past and explosions are very realistic.

I have just finished the single player campaign (8 hours in total at hard difficulty, including reloading and cutscenes).I'm really satisfied. The atmosphere and gameplay is great.The missions are various and allied and enemy AI is good. Maybe sometimes enemies are quite static (such in BiA Hell's Highway) but I'm replaying twice the campaign and I'm still enjoying it.The single player engine (Unreal) is great and I'm playing at max 1280x720 with stable frame rate (over 40 fps).Multiplayer is a bit tactical and it reminds BF Bad Company 2 (DICE is the developer !).The Multiplayer engine is Frostbite (developed by DICE) and I like it. The terrain, colors, sound and voices are rendered well and stable.All in all,

Single Player - I switched to the most difficult setting very early on - which I never do normally - as the game play appeared too easy. Not that easy on the hardest setting and I have played games which are more difficult but you can still finish each section fairly quickly. The characters, story line, graphics and sound are easily up to EA's usual standard but they appear to have invested a lot of time and money on the cinema type films between sections which are entertaining but the investment could have been spent more on gameplay, The Apache section is particularly well done over the mountains of Afghanistan both on gameplay and graphics. The only criticism may be that you are confined to very narrow corridors all the way through which,

Using Top-of-the-Range Graphics, all at High Settings, and From a Single Person Shooter Operating aspect,'The Game' demands respect. When "Contact' is shouted, if you fail to move/function as would a Real Combatant, You Can Be Dead Before You Blink, and, probably not immediately know from whence the hit came.It calls for total concentration and skills learned, either from being ex-Military or having played 100's of hours as a First Person Shooter/Multiplayer.For the first five hours of play, I lost count of the times I died, but then I'm an old, ex-RAF Pilot, so what do I know about Ground Pounding.Having played: CoD World at War; CoD Modern Warfare; Battlefield Bad Co.2,

I'm not going to sit and compare this game to others that are similar and I will also keep this review short as most of the other reviews have already provided detailed descriptions of the game.This game is great and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it and was sad when I completed it! It kept you interested by there being different weapons and ways of taking people out (e.g. setting target for air attacks) so that you weren't just aiming and shooting the same way for the entire game. The graphics were very good as well and I got into the storyline. Was especially pleased that the Amazon price was good. It's ridiculous what some people pay for games these days.An excellent game in it's own right.
