Medal of Honor: Warfighter Game Cover
Medal of Honor Warfighter seems content to keep up with the competition instead of offering anything new. A short campaign isn't as gripping as the original, and multiplayer mileage may vary.

    The story in "Medal of Honor: Warfighter" has received mixed reviews, with some praising its basis in actual events and high-octane action sequences, while others criticize it for being thin and lacking depth. Many players found the narrative to be underwhelming, with repetitive cutscenes and a lack of character engagement, leading to a feeling that the campaign was more of a movie than a compelling game experience. Overall, while the graphics and action are noted as improvements, the storytelling fails to resonate as strongly as in previous titles.

    • “I was a big fan of Medal of Honor 2010, I really enjoyed the campaign, music, and overall feel of the storyline which felt very realistic as a single player.”
    • “Comparing to the previous title, Warfighter has much better graphics, a more developed storyline, and more interesting multiplayer.”
    • “The story campaign was alright, nothing special but wasn't bad, but the multiplayer online is where this game really shines.”
    • “To be honest, there isn't much fighting; it's you 'Preacher' doing some high-risk missions with every 5 minutes doing a breach.”
    • “[Brief, underwhelming single-player campaign, CGI cutscenes that look worse than the game's visual engine, cliched plot that does nothing new.]”

    • “Graphically, the multiplayer modes suffer compared to single player.”
    • “And I know graphics aren't everything, but this seriously looks 3 or 4 years out of date.”
    • “The career mode is far too short and could easily be completed in a day; graphics are no improvement over games that have been out for years. In fact, Medal of Honor 1 is better.”

Overall, the campaign is criticized for its length, confusing elements, and excessive cut scenes that detract from the action.

    • “Graphics are excellent and gameplay is fun and runs smoothly.”
    • “[Frenetic and fun multiplayer modes, expanded multiplayer class system, co-op oriented fireteam mechanic].”
    • “I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but I've started playing the single-player campaign and I am not impressed so far. I am stuck on the easy level, yes the easy level. The game seems to have a lot of glitches, making the single gameplay frustrating. Is my PS3 system crashing all the time?”
    • “The gameplay is awful, glitch-ridden (floating weapons, doors you can walk through, etc.) and most of the weapons are samey when firing.”
    • “The numerous cut scenes are boring at best and add little, if anything, to the campaign and at times detract from the overall gameplay.”

    • “I am not able to make progress in this offshore level. I have completed the BF3 single campaign and this was much more enjoyable, with no problems or glitches. It's much better than Warfighter and much more soundproof. How many times will I get stuck?”
