Medal of Honor Review - Not a Hollywood Movie

In computer games, not so much affected by the events that took place in real life, especially if it concerns a relatively recent fighting. Life - this is not a Hollywood movie. There's death, no matter whose, silently looks terrible. It takes with it all of a sudden, without a bright flashes and stranded effects. This reality hardly seem attractive even to someone.

Medal of Honor Review - Not a Hollywood movie

Most cause repels hostility mixed with deep fear. But, despite this, the developers of Danger Close Games and DICE released restarts the series of games about World War II game Medal Of Honor in 2010, which tells about the events during the fighting the US Army in Afghanistan. We will take on the role of several fighters from different departments. It's all like a really, no names, only the call sign "Rabbit" from the group "Neptune" sniper "Deuce" from unit "Delta" and the 75th Ranger Regiment Adams (here a small exception). Also in the campaign, we will play the role of a pilot "Hawk" helicopter gunship, however, only during one of the operations.

Harsh Military Weekdays

The game is set in 2001 during the war in Afghanistan. Group "Neptune" is necessary to meet with his informant Tariq. The ride in the moonlight through the narrow streets, typical of the local architecture, is interrupted by a detachment of the Chechens, who head the RPG blast machine and thereby block the path. Survivors fighters, including "Rabbit" will to fight to get to the point of union with the rest of the team. Overcoming the resistance of the dense, guys get to a captured Tariq, release it, and they will know that numerous forces stationed close to the terrorists that their disposal large stocks of weapons and equipment. It is necessary to stir the hornet's nest, but it must be done harmoniously and as expeditiously as possible. Soldiers from the "Delta" with "Neptune" is carried out a series of reconnaissance sorties into enemy territory, and then begin the battle to drive away enemies. Command of the US Army is no different tolerance, in their haste to commit the fatal error of servicemen. But the real war - it is precisely this. The main task now is to survive themselves and not allow any terrorist to survive.

The single player campaign consists of 10 missions. Each of them has its own unique aspects, and thus a variety of familiar to shooter gameplay - "run-shoot". Mostly have a ride on a quad, cause dot airstrikes using LCC, somewhere handy silencer to remain "in the shadows" as much time as possible. Although in general, the game does not go away from the canons of the genre, and is doing everything in the best tradition of other popular FPS. The truth in comparison to other games, there is less pathos and heroism. The creators wanted to show the events that allegedly took place in reality, as detailed as possible and plausible. And since the war - this is not an attraction, and it is happening on the screen at times seem somewhat dry. Although, in this lies the main advantage of the MoH, 2010 - here reflected the real situation on the field, where every day for any soldier could be the last.

Personally, I prefer to use the in-game weapons, which gave me the job. You know, this once more puts than miss with Kalashnikovs and bodies worn with them. When the firing is conducted in enemy territory,  cartridges available elsewhere. This life here, however, there is always an extra ammunition in a partner. But pootygryvat severe fighter is quite possible. In an extreme case, computer terrorists have gladly shared their trunks.

One game - Two Engines

An interesting feature of the game is that single piece was created on the engine, Unreal Engine, and the multiplayer sawed on Frost Bite 2.0 Danger Close Games and DICE respectively. Different engines differ very markedly in terms of post-processing, physics and effects. But let us still do an excellent job with their work, giving an excellent picture with an acceptable frame rate. Multiplayer allows you to pump three different classes, with pumping which opens new weapons and modules for it. The online game is very dynamic, requires habits and knowledge of cards, but played with great interest and, fortunately, is not dead to this day. So I advise you to buy and try, if you have not already done, the game had long since prices do not bite.

Despite the monotonous landscape of mountains and sandy plains, standard gameplay and storyline timichny militaristic, Medal of Honor is still different from its "sisters". It is more serious, it is more severe, it does not cause hopes for happy ending before the credits, but simply is the path that are thousands of soldiers, while we are sleeping peacefully in their beds. I once again want to note that I would like to have only the war on the monitor. They - not the solution to problems. War - this is the problem.
