Medal of Honor Warfighter review roundup: military-grade mediocrity?

I expected nothing more, the game looked like a generic military shooter from the first trailer.

/Waits for Far Cry 3
 
So much for the hope that this might deliver good gameplay and a decent engaging story.

/Pass.

My Military shooter of Q4 2012 will be Halo 4.
 
Been playing it from yesterday and i am enjoying it! So if you don't try it yourself then the reviews are useless, rather review it yourself before judgeging :)

So in other words, ignore the tools that are supposed to help you make a decision whether to buy it or not? Sounds pretty counter-intuitive to me.

Eh, so you must first buy the game before you can decide if you want to buy the game?

I'm not so sure hey... Computer games are funny things. They manage to split us up into our various camps and GOD HELP YOU if you try cross over.

I'm thinking back to DotA vs CS 1.6
CS 1.6 vs CSS
CoD vs BF

for some reason... it had to be ONE or the OTHER with the online kiddies or you're a NoobZ0r deluxe.

Could this have something to do with the drama at Activision? I mean, the reviewers are predisposed to their own opinions. And they're not Constitution court judges if you catch my drift...
If I p1ss of the CoD studio... they won't give me a free alienware laptop to try their games out on...

Just sayin... I've also played a few games that I really enjoyed that received bad reviews. And some that received RAGING reviews that I thought were a little off compared to previous similar games.

off the top of my head:
I thought Star wars battlefront was remarkably average but it received HUGE reviews
I thought Heavy Rain sucked balls
I thought Guitar Heroes Metallica was the best game ever made

but... I haven't played MoH yet... so I can't comment
 
The key to making a decision based off a review is that you have to be able to read between the lines. ;)
 
So basically this game sounds like it pretty much just tells you when to press which buttons and you have to do everything exactly as the game wants you to. On another forum someone was saying in one section you have to snipe two guys, but because the game wants you to snipe a certain one first the other one is invincible. No amount of bullets can bring him down until you snipe the first guy.

This is a new low-point for the FPS, a genre which in itself is pretty much the low-point of gaming.
