Medal of Honor (Xbox 360)

Product Information

Sure, it still shamelessly borrows heavily from Modern Warfare in how progressing through various ranks of solider unlocks bigger and badder weaponry, but it does more or less everything right. Gary Hartley arbitrarily arrives, leaves a review for a game no one has heard of, then retreats to his 17th century castle in rural England to feed whatever lives in the moat and complain about you. Some apparently already have unobtainable achievements due to glitches but it is still a good idea to try to finish those that are still available before they are gone forever. The Coalition troops use American equipment such as the M16A4, M4A1, M21, AT4 and M9 pistol, while the Opposing Forces represent forces similar to the Taliban and use according equipment such as the AK-47, AKS-74U, SVD, RPG-7, and "Tariq" pistol.

Things very much could -- and should -- have been better, and nothing spells this out quite so clearly as how functional the game is as soon as you take things online. It tried to mimic real life Afghanistan where enemies are far away in the distance and creep up out of nowhere, it had a whole different feel to it compared to other first person shooters. I'm not saying the review should agree with my opinions; I'm saying that just as the campaign has a few redeeming features, the multiplayer has distinct flaws that, even if you don't consider them cripplingly bad, really need to be mentioned. I won’t pretend that I’ll not sink hours and hours of my time into online play, but it doesn’t stop the title from being only half of what it should be.Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, the seventh entry, was released for the PC, Mac OS X and Linux in 2004.

The last level has the player mount on the gunner position in a fighter, and you can see literal ends of the level. As such, EA’s first attempt at knocking off the top dog is less a mortar shell to the head and more a slight nudging with a bayonet. The game was developed by Danger Close Games, a video game development team formerly known as EA Los Angeles merged in 2008.

During insertion into the Sha-i-kot Valley, the Rangers come under heavy fire and a Chinook is shot down.
