"Not Call Of Duty, for sure"
Having been a game designer for a few years, and a gamer since I was 25. At 61, I have come to expect a certain amount of quality, and playability from the games I buy. MOH Airborne falls short of my expectations. Their "sighting system" for the weapons available to the player, leave one frustrated and displeased. Having spent time in combat in Vietnam, I KNOW how to aim and fire a weapon. In MOH Airbourne Assault, it's as if the player is spastic, you find yourself having difficulty aiming your weapon, and become frustrated. Even when you have the enemy squarely in your sights, the chances of your hitting him are beyond statistical probability.
I've NEVER had so much trouble hitting a real enemy as I had hitting NPC enemies in this game. They need to review their statistics for the hit/miss algorithm. Meanwhile, the Italian "Blackshirts" all shoot like Annie Oakley, or Daniel Boone. Fun factor? Two out of ten. Overall, two out of five for the nice graphics, but it STILL isn't Call Of Duty (any of them) or Half-Life2. Too bad too, I was hoping for more for my money.

"A definite Core 2 Duo game"
There are actually 2 games I like in the Metal of Honor series and this is one of them. I reviewed this game last Summer when I first got it. Love the game but it has a few short comings...The save game system is done by checkpoints which doesn't allow for save game exploit. Not a deal breaker for me but a pain if you get a phone call in the middle of a sub mission, I just hit escape which gives you a drop menu. The game is way to short for a single player fps, however, as an intro to the online game it is adequate.
My P-4 with an over clocked Nvidia 6800 xt and 2 gig of memory running dual channel with an 800mhz fsb can't pull the load adequately, My Core 2 duo with an Nvidia 7900 GS over clocked to 525mhz , 4 gig of memory running dual channel on a 1066mhz fsb can get near max settings but is still a little choppy during heavy combat. That being said.. I just love this game!! The action is hot and fast, it forces you to use cover and good tactical play even though your squad mates tend to bunch up a little and run in front of your gun muzzle now and again the play is still pretty good and being able to decide where I enter the battle field from above is a big plus... all in all it's "A definite Core 2 Duo game".

"Can you hit me now? Good! oh....wait."
MoHA was so close to being good. A shoddy hit detection/shooting model really bring this title down. Also npcs move in an unreal tournament type fashion(instantaneus acceleration). If these two issues were polished then man this would have been a great game!

"Easily Best Single Player FPS I have played since Doom/Darkforces"
Games I've played - RTCW, HL, Doom series, Darkforces, ET Quake Wars, Quake Series, and on and on.

This game is amazing not just for its gfx or story (although those are good). This game is the first in a long time to have actually great first person play! The actual game play and kills and AI are so satisfying that they remind me of that feeling of running around in doom with a shotgun decades ago! [btw, if you become very very good at this game, you can run around with the shotgun and be godlike with similar satisfaction].

The guns, sounds, and the way the computer plays you are very very good. You will notice that the enemy won't just pop into view if you wait for them like most games - they act very real, as well as having some great facial expressions.

Its amazing to me that this game got low reviews, but i chalk that up to games these days being rated on both multiplayer and singleplayer - i am an avid MP player in other games, but this game is a gem to me because of the SP portion and is worth the 50$ for that satisfaction alone (although now its cheaper)

Thanks to whoever developed this for giving me back that great FPS satisfaction that i've craved since doom I.

Just 2 Cons I have had.

1) game is short. However, the quality put into it and the research make it worth it (very replayable as well)

2) one issue dealing with binding zoom to the mousewheel to work, otherwise trouble free.




"Great game"
I found the online multiplayer to be very lacking.
The single player is where it's at for this one.
This game is very "open", meaning you can land almost anywhere on the map for each level.You have objectives, but most of them can be completed in any order.The friendly NPC's are quite "intelligent".So is the enemy.
Sniping is a load of fun.Running amuck shooting everything will get you killed fast, so work with your NPC team.
