Medal of Honor - Limited Edition (Xbox 360)

Product Information

War is serious business, and if you doubt how seriously Medal of Honor developers Danger Close and DICE are taking the conflict their game portrays, consider the public explanation for the decision to change your multiplayer opponents from "Taliban" to "Opposing Force". It was taken "for the men and women serving in the military and for the families of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice," according to executive producer Greg Goodrich, because "this franchise will never wilfully disrespect, intentionally or otherwise, your memory and service." Serious words delivered with humility, but still words from a man who at some point during the game's development sat in a meeting where someone said, "Yes, let's have a quad-bike level." Air support is a constant fixture and another element that heightens your sense of involvement. You're frequently invited to paint targets for incoming F-15s ("fast movers") and drones, but it's when the delicacy of that network of assets is stressed and strained that the game does its best line in high drama. There's an assault where you need to suppress a powerful enemy gun emplacement with your M249 SAW, all the while your squad-mates bravely advance to mark it with red phosphorous. Shortly afterward, you're caught out in a valley by an IED and forced to defend against waves of AK-47 and RPG-toting Taliban forces as the world falls apart around you, until you genuinely feel as though you can't save yourself. Perhaps then it's no surprise that finding something memorable or unique about Medal of Honor is so difficult. This is no problem for its rivals: Call of Duty is defined by its aim to supply ultra-low latency controller response, foregoing advanced rendering techniques in favour of a game that runs extremely smoothly and puts the player firmly in control. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on the other hand halves the frame-rate but makes up for it with one of the most advanced engines on the market today: wide open levels, terrain deformation, a stunning destruction model, and ultra-detailed artwork only really scratch the surface of what the Frostbite engine is capable of.

Medal of Honor: Heroes, a spin-off and the ninth game in the series, was developed and released for the PlayStation Portable in 2006. Medal of Honor: Vanguard, the tenth entry, was released for the PlayStation 2 and Wii in 2007. It was the first Medal of Honor game to be released on the Wii console. Medal of Honor: Airborne, the eleventh game in the series, was developed and released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC September 4, 2007; it was the first game in the series to be nonlinear. Twelfth entry Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 was released for the Wii and PlayStation Portable on November 13, 2007. It was a sequel of the first game in spin-off Heroes series. Land through the door of a pillbox south of the huge lookout bunker (not the tower with the radar). As per the norm with UE3 titles, we see native 720p resolution on both platforms and an almost exact parity in terms of visual features. There is some small evidence that 2x MSAA is included on the Xbox 360 version, but in common with many UE3 titles it seems that the work on this is carried out relatively early in the rendering process, with subsequent processing killing off much of the edge-smoothing. Certainly, the overall impression when looking at both games (and even the PC version with AA enabled) is that they are effectively running without anti-aliasing at all. If anything, MOH is more about actual teamwork than COD, where you can often run off alone and still win matches. Here, working together makes a very real difference, and players drifting off on their lonesome are usually so much kibble. It’s tactical stuff, and works well, but I can’t help but feel that many will be put off by the sharp learning curve, something where COD excelled, welcoming players of all abilities.

In terms of anti-aliasing, post-process edge-smoothing is used on the consoles. FXAA is employed on the 360, while an MLAA implementation is swapped in on PlayStation 3 instead. On first impressions, overall image quality is very similar across both platforms. While regular edges are smoothed over quite nicely, sub-pixel shimmering is still an issue and we also see some visible pixel-popping artefacts which can accentuate the jaggies in more detailed areas of the game. That said, PS3's MLAA tech does a slightly better job in troublesome areas, with this version gaining a slightly smoother look.On a graphical level, the situation is far more impressive. Performance-wise the PS3 game leads the way where the campaign is concerned, running largely without screen tearing and with fewer frame-rate drops. When online the 360 is the more stable of the two, dealing with larger environments and alpha effects more easily. The Microsoft platform also benefits from having higher-resolution textures, increased foliage detail, and slightly less aggressive LOD steaming. Meanwhile, shadow quality is visibly higher on the PS3, and alpha buffers are rendered in the same way on both systems, with a combination of high- and low-resolution effects. Land through a window from the direction you start in the air; near the “Destroy radio equipment” objective. Where we see the 360 begin to noticeably slip away is in scenes that feature more heavy use of multiple light sources. Here the PS3 game regularly commands a four-to-six frame lead, while the 360 game suffers with a hefty reduction in controller response and a much jerkier visual update. Additionally, image consistency is a real issue on the 360, with torn frames regularly manifesting up and down the centre of the screen. Driving scenes behave a little differently, with both versions tearing when under load. However, torn frames are mainly confined to the top of the screen on the PS3, thus going practically unnoticed while playing, whereas they frequently move visibly down to the centre of the screen on the 360 and into the view of the player. Unreal Engine 3 is tasked with powering another high-profile game, this time the Medal of Honor single-player campaign from US studio Danger Close.

The following list tells you the Skill Drop locations for each of the missions and the video shows you how to do them. The first twelve installments take place during World War II. The main characters are usually elite members of Office of Strategic Services (OSS), while later games focus on modern warfare. The concept, story, and executive production of the first three games was made by Spielberg, who later sold the franchise for Electronic Arts in February 2000. The music in the franchise was composed by Michael Giacchino, Christopher Lennertz and Ramin Djawadi.

Microsoft hasn't updated this list since 2007, so if you don't see a title below, don't expect it to show up in the future.

It’s not a bad online title, by any means, though, far from it, and I have to say that I had a great time with the various modes. The Combat Mission mode alone is well worth a blast, and the other modes are similarly playable and enjoyable. The greater lean toward more realism than COD, along with a more focused class system is also refreshing. The map design, whilst not quite as tight as the competition, is more organic and free flowing, making ruined cities and open desert areas feel more realistic, and less robotic and corridor-based.

You can find a lift in the confrence room which will take you down to the engineers, from there you can follow a wire on the floor to the end of the level.

MOH doesn’t quite reach this lofty goal, though, and the online component just doesn’t manage to best COD. It’s just not as smooth and instantly accessible, and the total feel of control Infinity Ward nailed isn’t there.
