Medal of Honor, the followup thread (i.e. don't buy it)

[Aldurin]

Ignore all the stuff I said in the past.

Don't buy it, you're wasting your money.

Pros: Campaign gameplay was really fun.
Very patriotic and supportive of our actual troops.
You get to use a SOFLAM (I want to join the military just to use that).
Multiplayer is made by the Battlefield guys.

Cons: Not enough campaign, only like 4-5 hours per run through.
Not enough freedom in campaigns. The closest you get to a choice is choosing not to be stealthy in stealth missions.
Not enough campaign.
Multiplayer is difficult to adjust into. You get the three basic skills to swap between anytime you want, but your starting equipment sucks compared to what everybody else has. The sniper rifle doesn't even get a scope at the beginning. I spent about 20 minutes dying by people I couldn't spot while getting about 4 kills total out of sheer luck. Maybe it's just me, but I still don't recommend it.

Conclusion: Might be worth renting or getting for free. Knowing what I know now I probably wouldn't have bought even from the $10 bin at my local pawn shop. I give this a 1 out of 5.

Anybody else bought this and feel the same way? Hopefully you spent you money on Black Ops or something else.

Yeah, I played the beta and liked it, but when I got it at release it seemed like they had tuned multi-player to be more twitch oriented. It's a lot like MW2 but without the killcam to help you learn a little better. I feel bad for medal of honor as a franchise - it was cutting edge when the first one came out, but it got tired fast and in an effort to update it they just shoved it over to another now-tired area.
