The the Call of Duty series raking wants a piece of the war shooter pie. But there are a few fundamental things that tend to be missed. Medal of Honor, though a great looking game that follows the formula to the T, but fails to innovate. But more on that later, first let's look at the things it does right.
The game uses the frostbite engine that makes it a great looker. Both the graphics and sound engineering get great props for making some realistic looking scenarios and missions.
The story, though very generic, is treated well with emotional highs and lows that make you feel for the soldiers you represent. The game has its heart in the right place, but it's the head that needs a reality check.
The shooting bits seems interesting at first, but it doesn't take long for the game to get into the typical rut of killing mindless soldiers that do little more than head straight for you. You're not really facing much challenge there with your squad and the amount of arsenal at your disposal.
If you're playing it a single mission at a time, with a day break in between, these things may not bother you. But seeing the five hour campaign and how easy it is bulldoze through it in a single session, I doubt it will give you the satisfaction you're looking for.
Warfighter is another example why Medal Of Honor needs to change its focus into something more unexplored, rather than looking at what makes other shooters tick and trying to recreate the magic.
