Medal of Honor- Airborne

Monday, August 3, 2009

Medal of Honor Airborne is the eleventh game in the Medal of Honor series. EA Sports published this game for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. This version of the game focuses only on the activities of paratroopers. The game world is based on World War 2.
The gameplay is non-linear in which it’s the gamer who decides where to start unlike the earlier versions. The player selects the point on the map where to land to start the mission. This adds some strategy to this well designed action game. You play the role of Boyd Travers, a paratrooper in the US army. The gamer need not worry about the controls because Airborne comes up with a training session just before the game starts to get used to the basic controls and parachuting. The game involves Boyd Travers being dropped into various regions of Germany, France and Italy to complete his objectives and return back safely.
The gameplay is open ended where the gamer decides where to land. The player can land directly into the enemy camps and face a heavy attack or land to into predefined areas where he can meet with allies and get supplies. If good at sniping the player can land in tall buildings and snipe out the enemy troops. The cross hair for firing is dynamic that adds realism to this game. It enlarges when the player is running or jumping. Crouching gives better accuracy to take out the opposition.
The health bar is divided into 4 parts. If a part is completely lost health regeneration pack is need. If partially lost, it automatically gets refilled if the play takes cover. The game has got a good selection of age old weapons such as Thompson SMG and Garand rifle.
The game is better enjoyed in multiplayer mode where the player can be a part of either allies or axis. Allies are paratroopers and need to capture the enemy colonies while the latter start their campaign on the ground and defend their areas. Medal of Honor Airborne is definitely a refreshing face of the series and the series fans wont be disappointed for sure.
