Medal of Honor: Airborne

Posted by admin On September - 11 - 2009

The single-player campaign doesn’t get cooking until the last two levels, but those two levels combined with solid multiplayer make it worth enlisting in Airborne.

It seems you can’t read a preview or review of a World War II-based FPS without hearing about how many games there are in the genre. With good reason, too–it’s a crowded one. But just because there are a lot of them doesn’t mean there can’t be some good ones. Medal of Honor: Airborne is one such game. It starts off really slow, and the whole parachuting hook is little more than a gimmick; but later on the game realizes its potential and gets good.

There’s not much of a story to Airborne. It’s WWII; Nazis need killing and the world needs saving. You’re in the Airborne division, so you’ll be jumping out of planes and doing your part to swing the war in the Allies’ favor. Before each mission you’re given a brief rundown on what’s going on and list of objectives to accomplish. Rather than spawning on the battlefield you’ll arrive in style by parachuting out of a plane. As you fall to the ground you’ll want to maneuver toward green smoke, which indicates a safe landing zone. In theory, parachuting into the level is supposed to open up a whole new style of play. You’re free to land wherever you want, but invisible walls prevent you from getting too clever, and nine times out of 10, when you do land somewhere other than the safe zone you’ll end up dead in a matter of seconds. There are some special landing zones to discover and sometimes these areas will provide you with an advantageous starting point, but because you find most of these locations when you’re already on the ground, they’re of little use.
