A definite Core 2 Duo game
There are actually 2 games I like in the Metal of Honor series and this is one of them. I reviewed this game last Summer when I first got it. Love the game but it has a few short comings...The save game system is done by checkpoints which doesn't allow for save game exploit. Not a deal breaker for me but a pain if you get a phone call in the middle of a sub mission, I just hit escape which gives you a drop menu. The game is way to short for a single player fps, however, as an intro to the online game it is adequate.
My P-4 with an over clocked Nvidia 6800 xt and 2 gig of memory running dual channel with an 800mhz fsb can't pull the load adequately, My Core 2 duo with an Nvidia 7900 GS over clocked to 525mhz , 4 gig of memory running dual channel on a 1066mhz fsb can get near max settings but is still a little choppy during heavy combat. That being said.. I just love this game!! The action is hot and fast, it forces you to use cover and good tactical play even though your squad mates tend to bunch up a little and run in front of your gun muzzle now and again the play is still pretty good and being able to decide where I enter the battle field from above is a big plus... all in all it's "A definite Core 2 Duo game".

Can you hit me now? Good! oh....wait.
MoHA was so close to being good. A shoddy hit detection/shooting model really bring this title down. Also npcs move in an unreal tournament type fashion(instantaneus acceleration). If these two issues were polished then man this would have been a great game!

Easily Best Single Player FPS I have played since Doom/Darkforces
Games I've played - RTCW, HL, Doom series, Darkforces, ET Quake Wars, Quake Series, and on and on.
This game is amazing not just for its gfx or story (although those are good). This game is the first in a long time to have actually great first person play! The actual game play and kills and AI are so satisfying that they remind me of that feeling of running around in doom with a shotgun decades ago! [btw, if you become very very good at this game, you can run around with the shotgun and be godlike with similar satisfaction].
The guns, sounds, and the way the computer plays you are very very good. You will notice that the enemy won't just pop into view if you wait for them like most games - they act very real, as well as having some great facial expressions.
Its amazing to me that this game got low reviews, but i chalk that up to games these days being rated on both multiplayer and singleplayer - i am an avid MP player in other games, but this game is a gem to me because of the SP portion and is worth the 50$ for that satisfaction alone (although now its cheaper)
Thanks to whoever developed this for giving me back that great FPS satisfaction that i've craved since doom I.
Just 2 Cons I have had.
1) game is short. However, the quality put into it and the research make it worth it (very replayable as well)
2) one issue dealing with binding zoom to the mousewheel to work, otherwise trouble free.

Great game
I found the online multiplayer to be very lacking.
The single player is where it's at for this one.
This game is very "open", meaning you can land almost anywhere on the map for each level.You have objectives, but most of them can be completed in any order.The friendly NPC's are quite "intelligent".So is the enemy.
Sniping is a load of fun.Running amuck shooting everything will get you killed fast, so work with your NPC team.

Good Game on Drugs
The Good:
AI is excellent.
Great graphics, especially the Physics Engine for the grenade blasts...you have to see these...AWESOME>
I enjoyed jumping out of the planes and landing wherever i pleased.
Great combat and general "feel" of the game.
The Bad:
The game gets extremely difficult at certain times. almost impossible.
No save game. You have to wait for the "check point". this sucks when you have busted your a*s for an extended period and then get whacked at the last minute...start all over!
You drive or pilot NO vehicles.
The game DOES NOT realistically recreate WWII battles at all.
The Ugly:
The Super Nazis on the last 2 missions made me laugh. Where did they come from? So stupid. A disgrace to the original MOH.
Overall, a fun game and I recommend it.
