Medal Of Honor: Limited Edition (with Battlefield 3 Multiplayer BETA Access)

Firstly please excuse the lack of correct punctuation as I had to remove it all in order to post GRRRR!

With 3 modes to this game Single player Tier 1 and Multi player youre spoilt for choice WRONG. The clue is really in the title as this is a very limited game. Im a veteran of FPS games all the way back to DOOM and this is by far the biggest pile of poop I have ever played. Let me elaborate.

Single player is way way too short and riddled with more bugs than the bullet holes in your Taliban targets. The bugs are the worst Ive ever experienced forcing entire missions to be replayed because a trigger fails to happen which is required to advance the story. This has happened to me on numerous occasions in ALL except 1 of the missions. I have spent 12 hours playing the game but at least 9 of that is repeating missions to try and get them to work and another hour or so wandering around with nothing happening solely trying to activate triggers.

Were the play testers all asleep or did they test it on PS3 and get so bored they couldnt face the PC version and just signed it off.

To highlight how short the SP game is lets look at Tier 1. This is basically a replay of the short SP game but with NO checkpoints so no re-spawns and a load of stats added. For example longest sniper kill most headshots highest accuracy and shortest completion time you get the picture. In the completion time stats EA give you a par time for completing each mission which equates to a total SP game time of ONLY 3hrs 8mins 30 sec. So they are admitting from the off that this is no SP game but you have to buy the thing to find out. Heres the kicker though any experienced fps gamer will complete each of the levels (if they worked) in around half the par time even on the hardest settings. That gives you a real-world SP game time of just over 1.5 hours. Thats 20 pounds an hour people!

Multiplayer fares no better Im afraid with broken connections and unreliable servers. When you do eventually manage a game its a sniper free-for-all with the outcome mainly decided on where you initially spawn and how quickly you can get to a camping site to assume the position. An early death will just be followed by more of the same regardless of how good you are. There is currently a complete lack of balance within the game as a result. On the plus side there is a patch due imminently which may address the MP issues. Nothing so far for SP though.

Give it a miss folks and save yourself the grief. I wish I had :-(
