Medal Of Honor Airborne Could of Been Made A Better Game
First of all, Medal of Honor Airborne only has six missions to play in and that is it. The game should have had at least twelve missions to play in it to be called a full version game. This game is suppose to be a full version game. Not a add-on or an expansion game. I feel like I have been ripped off by someone.
Of the six missions, only the first four missions honor the brave soldiers that fought in World War II. The last two missions do not honor the brave soldiers who fought during World War II. The last two missions are fantasy made missions that remind me of going to amusement park. You have super Nazi's in the last two missions that take forever to kill. Shoot them in the head or blow them up with grenades it doesn't do any good. It takes at least fifty to a hundred shots with your weapon to take down one of these super Nazi's. I felt like I needed to find a super weapon like a laser gun to bring them down.
I notice in the fifth mission (Operation Varsity) there are railroad cars that are not European made rail cars. They are North American made railroad cars. What is up with that? It is quite obvious that somebody just slapped some North American railroad cars into the mission just to finish it.
In the last mission, (Operation Der Flakturm) American paratroopers land on a German Flak tower in Germany right after Operation Varsity. This mission never took place during World War II. The Russians were the only ones to assault German Flak towers during the war. In fact, the Flak tower used in the game never even got built in Germany. There was three generations of Flak towers built by the Germans during the war and only the first two generations of towers were built in Germany. Those towers were built in the German cities of Berlin and Hamburg during the war. The game shows a third generation built Flak tower built in Germany, that was actually built in Vienna, Austria during the war. Somebody screwed up.
It almost seems like two different teams of game developers work on the Medal of Honor Airborne game. One team worked on the first four missions of the game which were realistic and actually happen during World War II while another team worked on the last two missions in the game which are more sci-fi and fantasy. I really wanted to like this game because I'm a big World War II fan. With all the actual events that happen during World War II, why would the game developer need to makeup any missions for the game?
I have to say, too, that this is the hardest PC game that I have ever had to load onto my PC. I have never seen a game with more bugs and problems. There is virtually no tech support from EA. I was very, very frustrated with trying to load and play this game.
This another example of a game that should of went somewhere that ended up going nowhere. Either the game publisher or the game developer just wanted to hurry and finish the game just to try to beat the holiday rush. Somebody was trying to hurry and make some money on this game before the other big name titles come out later on this year. I hate to say it, but Call of Duty 4 is going to be the game to beat this year.

Medal of Honor Airborne
Very high detail graphic PC video game. Land your own destination to primary target area that will process save game faster. Of course, good fighting against German soldiers. How about that video game's fun rate: Good.

Short, scripted and not much replay value
Could have been great. The visuals are very nice. The AI is pretty decent too. I completed the game on the hardest setting in 6 hours. There are only 6 levels. The multiplayer value has yet to be proven and with better games like COD 4 and another Halo, FEAR and Unreal coming...your money is definitely better spent else where.

I Can't believe I waited months for this!
I have waited for this oft delayed game for many moons. I would check the gaming sites for the latest news about a release date. I pre-ordered to get it sooner. What a disappointment! EA really dropped the ball on this one. I didn't think they could make a game worse than "Pacific Assault" but they did. It runs like crap on my computer that has a Pentium 4 duo-core, 2 full megs of RAM and a brand new GeForce 8600 GTS card. I set the video card and game to the lowest levels and it plays passably. I can't tell if the gameplay just sucks or if it's just running like crap. It looks like hell on these settings.
The Game will not save checkpoints-My control settings mysteriously switch themselves around-I have not even been through ten minutes of the first level before I'm fiddling with the settings trying to squeeze some performance from the game-or I give up in frustration.
Save your money-EA laid a rotten egg on this one

Finished in 2 days
I will first say that I do like this game very much. I have read reviews on gaming sites that said it is boring until the last 2 missions, but that is not true. The game has alot of excitement right the get go, though the last 2 are even more intense.
The graphics are the best I have seen from any FPS game. the lighting and detail are amazing, though the characters in the game arent done as well.
The sound is great as well and the whole dropping into the battle from above is cool, but short lived. The enemy AI is pretty good as you will see the enemy raise theer gun over their head and fire their or toss a nade over the shoulder from behind a box.
The few bad things are how quick the game is over and the on-line play is good, but missing the objective play I loved in the original MOHAA. They also say the game is non-linear, but it is not all that way. You have several objectives that you can attack in any order you want, but you have to beat all those objectives to open the last ones. I didn't find it that interesting. and for $50 (which is what it was when I got it) is too much for this game. I would wait until the price comes down and spend your $50 on The Orange Box and get Half-Life 2 episode 2, Tema Fortress 2, and Portal. That is going to be a great deal. This game is alot of fun while it lasts, but over too fast.
