Medal of Honor: Airborne(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Darkie
Yes! A new Medal of Honor! My heart pumps harder and harder. . . .
The preview promised a new line of gaming, jumping out of an airplane and land anywhere you like! This would mean that you can land behind the enemy lines and shoot everything that isn't Allies (or blow them up, whatever you prefer)! It's a good start, let's have a closer look.
The game starts: You’re jumping with a lot of noise from an airplane, Awesome! When you’re looking down you see the green smoke which is pointing out where the desired landing spots are. Your fellow soldiers will also drop where the green smoke is; ready to throw themselves into the German violence. I decide to land on the Church: "Ouch" Botched landing, damn! Slowly I'm getting up and ready my sniper for use, Action TIME!
Looking down from the Church I’m shooting some German soldiers into their next life. Unfortunately it doesn't take very long for me to figure out that the hit points on the targets are quite off. Shooting at the left side of the enemy's head gives a far better result than shooting on the right, apparently every shot on the right side of a face misses every shot.
After a while of shooting from the Church I climb down, thinking I must have murdered at least 80% of the German army. On the contrary! There are even more enemy's then there we're before! It must be me?
The next levels are about the same as the first levels, but it's now even more obvious that the game is surrounded by a lot of bugs! Lemme enlighten a few 
- Bad hit points all over.
- The aim of automatic rifles over a long distance is really bad.
- The enemy doesn't have a problem shooting over long distances.
- The AI is weird and far from "reality"
- The textures on some of the buildings jump up and down (especially when you’re looking through a scope).
- A circling tank can be busted with 3 shots of a bazooka, though a simple tank or car which is part of a surrounding can't be scratched.
- You can easily hide behind an old and rotten piece of wood since bullets can't penetrate it .....
- On the last level I was snipering though a staircase and I just saw the enemy spawning..... sigh.
- etc etc etc.
The game really starts on the last two levels, which are really significant better then the first levels, since the first levels don't have a lot of variety overall, but unfortunately it's too late to make the game worth it.
Conclusion:
MOHA looks good overall, but mainly because of the many many bug’s and long loading times, it's not worth buying. If you compare this game with the new games like Call of Duty 4 & Crysis it looks old and outdated. The game is very linear (although they claim it's not) and it doesn't give enough variety apart from the last two levels.
If I would have to give it a number from 1-10 where 10 is best, it would be a 7.
