But at a certain point, after a certain number of near-unanimous reviews, one probably should stop and wonder. Well, sure, everyone thinks their own baby is beautiful, no matter how much of a troll it may be. The simplest thing to do is link my review.Īnd then "frankly, lower than it deserved". And where too many gaming sites see 7/10 as their punishing score, there's no ambiguity over the general reception of this one. Warfighter's scores sat plump in the 4 to 7 range, with not a single reviewer going over 75% on any machine (even IGN broke the bottom of their own thermometer and gave it a 4!). I've not been in the army, I admit, but I've a sneaking suspicion that it's not quite like that.Ĭritics absolutely weren't polarised - that's when a game gets a mad mix of 9s and 3s. Unless combat is usually fought by one man spraying bullets over a large live-action target practice zone for infinity, until he realises he was supposed to step forward to make the nearby building fall over. The notion that the games contain even a quarter-teaspoonful of "combat authenticity" is instantly ludicrous.
But it wasn't despite the game being solid, nor indeed was it the audience's failure to understand the game. Critics were polarized and gave the game scores which were, frankly, lower than it deserved.” The game was solid, but the focus on combat authenticity did not resonate with consumers. “We struggled with two challenges: the slowdown that impacted the entire sector and poor critical and commercial reception for Medal of Honor Warfighter. But I do want another Medal Of Honor.ĮA supremo Peter Moore's words on the matter, as pointed out by Nathan, really smack of a troubling lack of perspicuity, and a mite too much hubris. I certainly don't want another one of those. Massive explosions and enormous set pieces fail to carry any gravitas, as you're dragged by your nose through its shoulder-width corridors.
Not just because of their gung-ho, one-dimensional, army-recruitment-writ-large approach to current conflicts, nor just because of the both underlying and overlying racism to be found within, but also simply because they were poorly made. Not because the last two games earned any merit - they certainly didn't. This morning's news that EA has canned the revived Medal Of Honor strikes me as a pretty sad one.
