Product Description
Medal of Honor Airborne™ is the latest video game from EA's acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise, credited with pioneering the WWII first-person shooter genre after its debut in 1999. This is the first game in the Medal of Honor™ series to be released on next generation platforms.
While building on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy and authenticity, Medal of Honor Airborne is set to redefine the series by introducing players to an entirely new way of experiencing a WWII FPS - notably the fully interactive Airborne experience.

From rocky beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany, each mission begins behind enemy lines, with an intense and fully interactive airdrop.

A wide variety of authentic, customizable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Choose your path in this free roaming FPS environment.
The Medal of Honor Airborne development team continues to ensure that the ideals and integrity of the prestigious congressional Medal of Honor are accurately reflected in the game. The producers sought counsel from numerous expert sources to make certain the game is historically accurate and as true to the WWII Airborne experience as possible. Serving as a military spokesperson for Medal of Honor Airborne, Capt. Dale Dye, who has worked as the Military Technical Advisor for the last 7 Medal of Honor games, will help to create a truly authentic experience.

Great game!
 Reviewed by Bruce from Christchurch, NZ on January 12th, 2008
This game is by far the best in the series so far. The atmosphere of the game makes the single player intense. Multiplayer is great but a word of warning the lastest patch to bring the game up to v1.2 is a whopping 1.3gb!!!! Of course you need this as most servers I found are using this version. It does add two new maps which prolongs the game life.
Medal of Honor Stillborne
 Reviewed by Chris from Dunedin, NZ on November 16th, 2007
Graphically the game looks very good, one or two of the missions are fun and belong on a pc version of MOH. Vast majority of this game feels like it should be on console though. The single player side of this is far to short for a good fps. Few of the weapon upgrade are a waste of time, especially the bayonet added to the shotgun which cannot be used against the enemy. The friendly AI are plain dumb and their repetitive lines can become annoying "anyone got a spare clip?" - "Shut up and fight!". Have always been a big fan of all Moh titles, until now. This game is a disappointment. What on earth were EA thinking?

Medal of Honor Airborne: The Airborne/Parachuting is very minimal in the game, it is only the introduction to each level and is really just a draw card. It does bring a slight new dimension to the game in the sense that it does put you in the shoes to a degree.
*The graphics are very good and the game does not seem to demand much resource which is a definate plus.
*The AI are overall good however there are moments where they are fairly stupid or they react to your presence when they could not possibly see or hear you.
*The game length is a little disappointing but the fact that this like many similar games was primarily designed for online play with the single player campaign simply for introduction.
Summary: The game is definately worth purchasing as I certainly enjoyed it, like any game it has its flaws but what game is perfect?
Better than it's predecessors
Reviewed by Dave from Nelson, NZ on October 13th, 2007
Played the demo tonight at I quite like it, even if it was extremely short. Not sure about the blur effects when running but it definitely makes it more enjoyable than some of the other games that I've played (though I dunno how fast one would run with three guns a whole bag of grenades, and whatever else one might be carrying). AI is probably no better than Pacific Assault, but the enemies are harder to kill if that's any consolation.
Overall, it's an improvement, and I would definitely buy this game.
Meh.
 Reviewed by Michael from Palmerston North, NZ on September 17th, 2007
Have finished the game already on a friends PC from the states. All i have to say is meh... The hyped up jumps are pretty average...as you can start the level form anywhere, you can approach some objectives from 2 different areas. Although with some objectives its the same old walk up the road and kill everything.
The AI was poor IMO, with the Germans standing out in the open, waiting to be shot in the head. They also have an amazing battlefield awareness. If you sneak up behind a german (still some distance away tho) who is looking in the opposite direction, he will still turn around regardless and unleash his MP40 or whatever into your head. Your allies will often move into your firing line, and afew times have got in the way of nades, especially when trying to kick German nades back at them. The accuracy issues with the kickback are solved by upgrading the weapon i.e the Thompson is horrible initially but once you have the drum mag and recoil dampener it is easy to mow down squads of Germans by simply charging them down.
Another flaw in the game was the cover. The cover itself was plentiful except a small wooden fence could protect you from a tiger tank shell. even metal grates which you can see through are impossible to shoot through.
Overall the game was still enjoyable, and somewhat satisfying. The graphics were alright, sounds effects were great and form the desgin viewpoint the game was well made. MoH fans will probably like this game as it is much improved over the previous titles, however if the other games int he series didn't really float your boat then this probably wont either.

Not so great
Reviewed by Gary from Upper Hutt, NZ on September 16th, 2007
I downloaded the huge 1.3gb demo and was sorely disappointed with it. It's only half a level!!! The only demo I've seen thats shorter than MOH:A was Timeshift.
Apart from the quick air drop onto the battlefield I didn't feel like it was anything new to the WW2 FPS genre.
The AI is pretty dumb, when the enemies spawn they run for the sandbag bunkers but once they're there... lets just say, don't expect much activity. They'll literally stand there while you shoot them, and it takes ages to kill them.
Visuals are nothing special, I managed to crank the graphics settings to the maximum (on an NVIDIA 8600GT 256mb card) and I was not impressed. Also, the HUD takes up a huge amount of the screen just so it can show an image of the gun you're using and the exp. level with it... big waste there.
I'd have to say the most realistic thing about the whole game is the excessive amount of kickback on the weapons and that just gets annoying since it makes it near impossible to hit anything that moves with an automatic weapon. Not to mention there's no lean function unless you're zoomed in, and unless you're using a sniper scope zooming is pointless!
It seems they've fallen in to the new thing with FPS's - weapon mod upgrades. Nothing new, nothing special.
The only people that will find this game "amazing" will be the MOH fanboys that just want to add the next installment of a dying franchise to their collection.
2 stars simply because they managed to suck me into downloading the hog of a file and getting me to waste 20mins.
FYI - if you want to get a good demo, download either Quake Wars or Two Worlds. You'll atleast spend an hour or 2 with each of them.

Solid WWII shooter
Reviewed by Kyran from Timaru, NZ on September 5th, 2007
I have played the Medal of Honor: Airborne demo and what I have seen shows great promise for the full game.
The first thing that struck me about the game was the amazing visuals. The lighting effects and shadows are very realistic and the models and textures are very detailed. The gameplay has some nice touches such as the leaning method, using the movement keys while aiming down the scope to lean instead of preset left or right keys for peeking around cover, and the ability to access upgrades for your weapons.
I did notice that the AI can be a little dumb sometimes. A lot has been said about the AI in this game being very realistic, but I didn't find this to be the case. Enemies did not always seek cover when under attack and didn't try to flank at any stage. In saying this the map I played was very constricting and this may have influenced the amount of maneuvering room the AI had. We will have to wait for the game to be released to find out if this was the case.
MOH: Airborne looks like a very compelling game, it may be another WWII shooter but it is a good one.

All that I expected and more
 Reviewed by Ben from Auckland on August 31st, 2007
I downloaded the 1.3 GB demo of this game, and there's only one word I can use to describe it:
Brilliant.
The gameplay is polished and realistic, the graphics are incredible and the AI is very, very cunning. Even the control system is good, which isn't a great consistency in MoH games. From the first 15 seconds of the demo level (in the briefing room) the graphics hit. Everything is shaded immaculately and it all looks fantastic. A nice touch is that you can see your actual body - if you look downwards, you see the bulk of your Airborne uniform and your legs and feet. When you're holding on to the railings in a C47 plane, you can look to the right and see your arm grasping the metal. The sheer scale and free-roam aspects of the mission maps are wonderful. I landed on a roof after a jump and instantly thought I was doomed and would have to reboot the mission, but I climbed down onto a balcony, went inside the building and found my way out.
The developers have paid a lot of attention to detail and it really pays off. Everything about this game is great.
Can't wait till it's finally released!

Excellent
Reviewed by Vaughan from Auckland, NZ on August 18th, 2007
From watching many of the avaliable trailors/movies for this game I can say that I am simply amazed!
If you truly love your War-games then you will get this game, for it is incredably realistic and simply looks amazing!
+ you can't go wrong with free BF2 with pre-order :D it'll make a good gift for someone!
