I’m a gamer. I will play just about anything and that’s no joke. Yesterday I was playing Tonka Construction Play Pack for the PC because I wanted to show my 1 year old son the trucks and tractors which he loves.

However, every once in a while there comes a game that just can’t live up to its predecessors. This game is Medal of Honor: Airborne. I just spent the last 2 hours trying to get past the first level of this game to no avail.

I’ve played all the other MoH games and the last two were great. The controls were good, they made sense and were easy to get along with. Guns were accurate for their models and the graphics were awesome.

So did EA fire that entire team when they decided to create “Airborne”?

We have the unreal engine, which Ubisoft was able to put to good use in the last Splinter Cell game, but EA seems to have lost it’s mind here.

I have had the game since Father’s Day and I can’t get past the first drop. I chew and spew FPS games…and this one is so bad…I can’t get to the first save point, wherever the hell that is supposed to be.

The first thing you do is learn how to land…in some arbitrary cut scene/immersive video where you all of a sudden take control and have to “grease” a landing. So…I assume for every mission or level in this game you are jumping into enemy territory which is fine…but for crap’s sake, get the controls right.

guns are sluggish, mouse movement is really sluggish to the point where you can die because you can’t get the mouse around fast enough, and the accuracy is for shit.

I died several times because the reticle on the gun wasn’t exactly on the head of a guy 20 feet away…

I really don’t know what happened with this game because the last two Medal of Honor games were really fun. It just seems like EA was picking up a paycheck for this one and really doesn’t care about the outcome. It reminds me of the atrocity that is Iron Man the video game.

Fuck, i got this as a birthday present and now I have to uninstall it because it is complete shit. Maybe I can find a trainer and just go god mode through the whole thing…that might be fun. I hope Mass Effect doesn’t suck like this.
