Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Medal of Honor is a first-person shooter from the makers of Battlefield Bad Company 2 that redefines the genre. For shooter fans and modern military enthusiasts, Medal of Honor is a way to experience today's authentic warfare, because unlike anywhere else in the world of video games, Medal of Honor can deliver intense modern warfare gameplay inspired by the actions of the elite Tier 1 Operators currently active in the military. Features include access to Tier 1 Ops and Army Ranger storylines, realistic weaponry and large-scale online multiplayer.

Welcome to the Top Tier

Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are selected when it is crucial that a mission not fail. These are the Tier 1 Operators. There are over 2 million active soldiers. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a level above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war, experts in the application of controlled violence. The new Medal of Honor game is inspired by and developed with actual Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to fight a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile conditions of present day Afghanistan.

This is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.

Join the ranks of the Tier 1 Ops.

Journey into the world of Special Ops

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2011

Platform For Display: PCVerified Purchase

I have played many a first person shooter. A few role playing games. But Medal of Honor stands out as a magnificant achievement in gaming and first-rate story telling.

The characters are few, and they mirror the reality of the special ops teams. Usually they're only 4 or 6, and they are stealthy and smart. The game begins with your character, "Rabbit", sitting in the passenger seat of a Toyota mech truck driving with your partner, Voodoo at the wheel. It's a dark night, and you four Delta boys are heading into the lion's den. You drive up and hit a checkpoint as you enter a city. It's just amazing how the creative team at EA did such a super job of making the animation sequences so cinematic. Unlike that gauwdy piece of junk, Call to Duty or whatever it is..... this game sets a new standard in putting the game player into warrior mode. The town is full of junk. No street lights, and you and your team are driving in to meet an undercover Afghan agent. Ah, but things go sour, quick. And then the "fun" begins.

I am a writer. And I work in the film community along with the world of theater. I'm not a kid. I know what makes a good story. I know what makes for good anticipatory excitement. Sometimes crawling on your belly in a compound of "bad guys" in the middle of the night can be more of a heart-pounding experience than just careening through a cartoon, like that gold plated mierda of Call of Duty...... yeah, well, don't go if called, okay?

There's pacing. There is a linear progression of the narrative, and to keep things exciting, nicely done scene changes, new missions that coordinate with other missions. The teams change, and in the end, we see the ultimate tragedy of war. Yet we see how the warriors themselves are truly selfless amazing men who risk their own lives to save just one man.

I am now playing and replaying sections of the thing, because I just can't find any other game that touches this one.

If you want a game that puts you in a cinematic setting, where you truly feel as though you are part of a team working to get missions accomplished, this is the game.

And they don't gloss over the conflicts between those "boots on the ground" and the generals in Tampa who only see the war through the soda-straw lens of a Predator drone high above. Mistakes are made by ill-informed generals, and men die before your eyes because of it. It angers you, and it motivates you to fight harder. You get caught up in the ethos and pathos that are genuine.

I know this war and this part of the world better than most. I've made it my business to read every dammmmmd thing I can get my hands on, and this game is boldly taking the side of those warriors we send out to do huge jobs with only a handful of men. And these dudes are just as they are in real life. Fearless. Wild-eyed. Long beards. Kick ass equipment that they control so well, that only a handful of them can eliminate a much larger enemy force. And I was stunned the other day as I was reading this book by this Delta commander, and when he recounted the words of a warlord who came to visit him with his little daughter in tow, the very words he spoke and were quoted in the book were used in this game in a very important moment. Heart-wrenching.

See, sometimes it's not just how many bullets and bombs and anonymous dudes popping up in a shooting gallery you mow down like paper ducks. Sometimes you get shivers down your spine in a quiet moment, out in the middle of nowhere, the Delta guys stand in the moon light with the lights of the dune buggies giving an eerie silhouette to everyone . An Afghan man is challenged by the Delta guys to say why he's on their side. They suspect him of betraying them. The tired, cold man, shivers in the light of the vehicles, in the far background are the mountains where the Taliban are ensconced. And the man says, pleading with the Delta men.... please, my daughter. I have a daughter. I want to grow up to be a person. I hate the Taliban. They ask him where the Taliban are. He points to the forbiding mountains and says, "Shah-i-Kot". This is the very place where in 2002, Delta and Seal teams took the very very high ground above that valley, and they swept Al Quada, the Taliban and Bin Laden out and on the run. Again, this game follows this whole exercise, Operation Anaconda, to the highest coldest peaks in the Hindu Kush.

I've misquoted him, but the very words that man speaks were spoken to the head man of Delta Force in Afghanistan. It's moments like this that make this game stand out as a work of drama and inter-active cinema.

I know not many agree with me. But kids, I'm sixty two years old. I've worked with Tennessee Williams and every actor and journeyman theater person around, and I know whereof I speak.

If you have a heart and and brain and some knowledge of the world..... get this game. If you are a young person who is not wise to the ways of the world, some of the subtlety may go over your head. But get the dammmmm thing anyway, and play it. And savor it. You don't have to be bouncing off walls and carrying cartoon avatars to have a fantastic experience.

Buy it.... buy it.... play it.

Don't be afraid from AMAZON Digital Download.

Hi all,
first i was afraid from the amazon digital download in regard that i have read many reviews complaining from it and from the errors and corruption issues that faced them during the downloading and the installation process from the amazon digital download.
And in the same time many people thanks in it and say its a very very good service by Amazon but i concerned more with the reviews that complaining from it. But at the same time i couldn't resist amazon's great offers and great deals and sales on many products,and that leaded me to take a risky step to try it especially i wanted to buy this game (Medal of Honor) which its price at amazon digital download dropped from 60$ and 50$ to 29.95$ especially i have missed the same offer at steam at the same price at the steam's Christmas deals and i have looked at the other sites and i found no one sells it at that price..so i have no choice to get this game with this price except from the amazon digital download..so i said that its the time to try this digital download from amazon and to see who is right from those people who complains from it and who thanks in it..so i have purchased it as a (Game Download) and started to download it through the (Amazon games & software downloader), about the speed, the game was downloading at the full speed and during the download i didn't face any problem until the download ends and started to extract the game preparing for the installation process and by the way the (CD key) will be found at your software library at your amazon's account (pretty much like steam), then i started to download it (at this step many people faced errors and the file corruption issues and this is one of the main problems that makes them complaining from the amazon digital download)and the download runs very smooth without any errors or file corruption issues and i have entered the CD key without any problem and the game totally accepted it..and then i ran the game,first it auto-patched itself and then i entered it and played some single player (cuz as i heard u must open the single player to be able to play the multiplayer)and every thing is totally running without a hitch and very smooth..And now i became one of the people who thanks in this service and say its a very good service and its very simple to use although its my first time to use it, and for the people who faced many troubles with it i really dont know why may be am lucky !!! but at the end it worked well with me without any issues..Keep it up Amazon.

キャンペーンのみのプレイです。
ボリュームは少なく難易度も高くないので、物足りなさを感じるのは否めません。
特に気になった点は、自由度が極端に低く決められたストーリー通り進行するだけです。
プレイヤーが攻略法を考えなければならないシーンはほとんどありませんでした。

しかし、それなりのレベルは保っており、グラフィックも美しいので、この価格ならプレイしても損はないと思います。
