Synopsis

Medal Of Honor: Airborne takes place during World War II, puts you onto the boots of Private first Class Boyd Travers, whose job is to parachute straight into enemy lines. MoH: Airborne makes great use of the ability to pick exactly where you spawn. Instead of playing throughout the level, dying, and restarting at a checkpoint, you respawn in a Jump-Plane. After three seconds, you jump out of the plane and can choose exactly where you wish to land. Do you have what it takes to rid Europe of the evil axis powers?



Gameplay, as stated before, revolves entirely on jumping and parachuting straight into the fight. No more wait times, no load times, it's just constant action. Once you jump and land, your mission begins. Each mission expects you to complete a certain objective in hopes of impairing your enemy. The weapons work surprisingly well for a pretty old game as well. The guns actually feel like they have a certain weight to them, which makes using them and fighting with them that much more fun. Now with the older the game, the more possibility that glitches will arise... and you'd be wrong. This game surprisingly does not have as many glitches as you may think. Besides texture pop-ins-and-outs, there aren't any completely game-crashing glitches.

Graphics

Graphics in MoH: Airborne are actually really good for the date it was release. The game runs on an altered version of the Unreal Engine, giving the game better textures, lighting, and over-all more graphical superiority compared to the un-modified version of the Unreal Engine.



Controls in MoH: Airborne are actually very different from standard Call of Duty controls everyone is used to. Sure LT is used for aiming and RT is used for shooting, but Y is to jump, X is to crouch, and B is to change weapon. It's a weird and clunky feeling control scheme that takes some getting used to.

The Final Verdict

Im awarding Medal of Honor: Airborne and 8 / 10. It's a very different take on your standard war FPS. If you have the money, I highly recommend you try this game out.
