Controls are responsive, weapon-handling feels as it should, player movement is smooth and gameplay mechanics provide that ‘substance’ that many other shooters lack. We’re looking at a very solid package here. Warfighter plays great, to say it simply. Having gotten that out of the way, let’t talk about why you shouldn’t let this shooter slide underneath your radar this Fall. In the end, Warfighter’s core remains in-tact and should not be so easily dismissed.
Sadly, these issues don’t make for a very confident release and can overshadow what makes Warfighter so great – its gameplay. We’re talking some pretty serious bugs and glitches here, like falling through maps, sound-drops, full-on game or console freezing and a few VoIP issues on the PC, some of which have luckily been ironed out in the latest server update. I say “potential” because, in its current state, Warfighter can be a rather shaky and unstable mess at times. This is one commendable project that they can call their own, one they can be proud of and one that has a lot of potential. While Danger Close might not have the same sort of reputation when it comes to online shooters, the benefit here is that we get a better taste of their personal creative vision (dubbed Global Warfighters) and a much more cohesive package as a whole.
The question is, is it enough?ĭanger Close, the studio responsible for MoH 2010’s single player campaign, has stepped up to the plate and set out to not only craft yet another exhilarating, true-to-life follow-up, but also fill the shoes of renown developers DICE, creators of the Battlefield franchise, to tackle the online multiplayer experience as well. Improvements in nearly every department are substantial, which we’ll get into further in this review. Luckily, as far as the multiplayer goes, which is what we’re concerned about here, I can tell you right off the bat that Medal of Honor: 2010 this is not.
Not only is it trying to establish its place among a number of other AAA shooters releasing this fall, but it’s also coming off of a mediocre success with regards to the series’ initial reboot in 2010. Medal of Honor: Warfighter has got a lot of pressure on its shoulders.
