Medal of Honor

When the smoke clears Medal of Honor comes close…. to the level of excellence that the Battlefield series brings as well as the fun factor of the Call of Duty series.

I have been reluctant to purchase the new content. Although $10 is not an expensive investment, the question would have to be would you invest $10 in a product that is going nowhere? If you haven't bought MoH yet I say to you, don't waste your money, Black Ops is a much better investment.

Though the Call Of Duty franchise has shot into the mainstream with its declarations of "Modern Warfare", the plot's never been grounded as such. Medal Of Honor is a modern-day military game and a love-letter to the US army.

The four hour single-player story simply isn’t enough, and the online option doesn’t have that staying power to dissuade shooter fans from looking elsewhere. An unfortunate miss for EA.

With the billions of dollars that Modern Warfare 2 raked in last year, it’s not surprising that EA would want a slice of that rather large money-filled pie, and considering the current state of Infinity Ward after its mass employee exodus, the global powerhouse were presented with a perfect opportunity to worm their way into that space. Taking advantage of the expertise of multiplayer specialists, DICE, and their Danger Close studio, formerly EA LA, EA decided to pull the Medal of Honor fra...
