Medal of Honor Warfighter (PS3)

considering this was done with the frostbite 2 engine from battlefield 3 this is an amzing game it looks better it plays better and it feels overall smoother than battlefield 3 :) now dont get me wrong it has a flaw which is its multiplayer almost nobody is on this and the weapons are generally bad at the beginning BUT overall this game has a good story VERY good gameplay and alot to offer for people looking for a very linear shooter with linear i mean story driven its very much like battlefield but BETTER they extended car rides in whih now you can actively and fully control cars and handling feels realistic theyve included bullet drop and all these things i am simply amazed :) hope this helps

I'm going to try to do this review without mentioning any other FPS games (you know what I'm talking about), because this is a game in it's own right. First, let me say that I have not completed the campaign, nor have I progressed a great deal in multiplayer (I'm 43 years old, and just not that good at live gaming). Having said that, there is nothing more fun than a good MP game against actual humans. The campaign mode is fairly linear, as has been said elsewhere, but it IS involving. What I mean is this; I'm actually fighting for/with my squad because that's what soldiers do, fight for the man next to them. That sounds daft, but I'm finding it more fun this way. After reading reviews that said the campaign was far too short, I decided to play on 'hard' setting right from the start, and I think this is the right choice.Ok, multiplayer then. This is a little more of a thinking man's game, and not a 'run 'n' gun' arcade shooter. The maps are a little bigger and more open than you would expect from the R&G games, but not on a scale with the more complex/intelligent shooters available. I'm particularly liking Basilan and Shogore Valley, though I am struggling on the jungle map. The level of interaction with the scenery is superb, though only in small detail like barricades and the like. This is down to the excellent Frostbite2 engine that creates it. There are a few annoying spots where you would expect to be able to walk, but the game will not let you go there even though it might look clear. Map edges should be more clearly defined. At the moment there are only eight maps to play on, but there is almost certainly some DLC to come. One thing I don't like is the inability to explore a map on my own without being shot at. If you enter an empty server, you can do nothing but spin on the spot. I want to look for the good firing-points for later use as I'm not Chuck Norris.A new idea to this genre of game is the buddy system, and I like it. You get teamed with another online player for the duration and I am definitely seeing better results when we work together. If one of you dies, and you will, you respawn on your squad mate, if you chose to. Running around flat out on your own is going to get you nowhere but the next respawn point, so this is an original idea that works. The thing I don't like is the complete lack of choice when you first play MP mode. I'm unlocking characters, countries and classes every time I play, so as I'm only on a low level anyway, some choice could have been available from the start. I looked online and read lots of reviews before buying this game (already available here 25% cheaper than release. Just don't forget, if you buy second-hand you are likely going to have to buy a new online pass @ £7.99 from the online store), and noticed a pattern emerging. All the industry reviews panned this game, and most the individual gamer's reviews are good. Bear in mind that these are the same industry reviewers who, every November, say the latest run 'n' gun rehash is wonderful when it brings absolutely nothing new to our consoles, so it doesn't really help our choice. I felt I was taking a bit of a chance when I ordered this game, which is their fault. Their awards of 4/10 and 5/10 seem grossly unjustified to me, and probably have lost this title lots of sales. If you are worried, rent it first, but I am happy with my purchase and am going to go online again today for another session. On the basis of my incomplete assessment, I would award it 8.5/10 so far. I will update this review in a week or two, when my eyes need a rest.1 week on, and PSN is down tonight, so it's update time.I am thoroughly enjoying this game, both campaign and multiplayer online. Not everything is good though; the MP menus took me ages to figure out, and I still find them a little confusing and awkward to navigate; picking a nation in MP right at the start of a career is a bad idea. I chose based on weapons stats., which vary between nations, and it now means I cannot play as British forces in this class until I unlock it! Not fair; also the lack of variation in my primary weapon early on is a little annoying, but really not much different to other FPS games. Things I do like then; The MP maps are very good, and vary somewhat in different game modes, which is new; weapons skills are more accurately recreated here, which will not go down well with young avid gamers, but I like; the various classes are the most balanced I have played with and against. There is no great advantage or disadvantage to any class; the buddy system has lots of benefits. Play it right and stay within 20 metres of each other and you will get some points for things your buddy does, and vice versa. Not sharing points, but getting some for being in the area is all it takes.I have also been reading more reviews and forums on this game, and it's quite polarized. The main criticisms seem to be about the realism and the personal aspect in the game. It seems a lot of gamers don't want things like recoil etc., nor do they care about forces personnel's stories. Hmmmn I didn't expect that. Most people who are enjoying this game seem a little more, shall we say, mature. So I am aware that this game is not for everyone, but I would be on it now if the PSN was working tonight.Oh yeah this helped with the MP a lot. Medal of Honor: Warfighter Official Game Guide #Prima Official Game Guides#Final update. I'm really having fun with this one. A couple months later and I'm still having great fun on MP and revisiting the campaign on 'easy' to earn the trophies I missed first time round. There have been two DLC maps (£8 in UK in total) and both are awesome! Both are set in Pakistan, and one is a compound complete with crashed helicopter. If that sounds familiar, it also does to the Pakistani government who have banned this game. I also enjoyed the campaign more than the other fps titles, particularly the last mission where you get to 'do' an obvious OBL type character, and earn the trophy called 'let him rot'. This is not the only mission based on real events as you will see if you follow the news.Lastly, EA have announced they have suspended the MoH franchise to concentrate on Battlefield4. I don't know what this means really but it doesn't sound good. I can only hope that they will continue to support existing MoH titles with DLC etc.

This game is brilliant. Even better than the 1st game. The cut scenes are very cinematic, in game graphics are spectacular & as much as this is a 1st person shooter, there is good variety in the gameplay, such as a couple of amazing car chases through a crowded marketplace which I thoroughly enjoyed. This is a story driven game that oozes quality & is so exciting to play.

This game is amazing. Not just for amazing graphics, but every mission feels real. There were a few problems with match making servers and connecting problems, and the multiplayer layout is a bit confusing at first, and I know people who have had bugs and glitches but all will be sorted in time. So get it!

I deliberately waited until the New Year and picked up a bargain with Amazon (£15 new and delivered), so I was very pleased about that. I quite enjoyed 2010's MoH and wanted more of the same from Warfighter. I don't partake in online multiplayer shooters so I'm this review is based entirely on the single player campaign.As far as the visuals and sound are concerned, they really are fantastic. I've never been one to focus too much on the graphics but everything looks polished, the smoke and firing effects are great and (as in MoH) there are some great backdrops. The sound though, wow! Again like MoH, it has a lot of depth and distance. I quite enjoy the radio chatter between the characters - it adds to the element of 'realism' without it being too cheesy. The music, when it does play is subtle in the background, so keeps the explosions and firing effects in the forefront.As for the gameplay, it plays just as you would expect. The 'training' section (you're one the 'bad guys' doing this and the area crops up again later in the story, which I thought was a nice touch) doesn't take place until you finish the introductory level, so after not having played FPS for a while I fumbled through this the first time around. I'm hot a hardcore gamer so even on Normal I found it quite tough, however I still managaed to complete the game in the space of just over a weekend.I liked the new driving and boating levels but part of me felt distracted by it and wanted to get them out the way. I would have liked to see some helicopter action like in MoH, but this wasn't to be. The cut-scenes were a little hard to follow at times - I didn't really understand what was going on until I paid more attention during the second run through. I liked the fact that there was an intention to introduce some background and humanise the characters, but it felt a little cheesy and the rendering of the characters - as close to lifelife without it being live motion video - was just a bit creepy. I didn't encounter too many glitches apart from the odd graphical one and not being able to move forward when I wanted to, but this didn't impact on the flow of the game.When I first heard about the game and watched the trailers, I was under the impression you could play a number of forces from around the world. This of course is only available on the multiplayer, so single player campaigners like me didn't get to play as SAS or SOG or whatever. You play only a handful of characters from TF Mako and meet up with Polish GROM and Phillipine forces along the way. No sign of interaction or teaming up with any other forces which was a disappointment. But, it was nice to have recurring characters with Dusty being the main man overseeing the operations.Overall though, the game looks and sound great, plays well but just felt it could have been more. It does have some replay value for me but an option to skip the cut-scenes inbetween missions would have been good. I'm pleased I got it for £15, because I really wouldn't have wanted to pay much more for it.
