I was excited when I first heard of MoH:EA but when I got halfway through the game I was board, disappointed, and a angry.
First off, the game play is more arcade then past MoH games. The floating icons symbolizing where guns, ammo, and equipment are make the game less realistic and in my opinion less fun. In this game you also have the ability to revive yourself, and to use adrenaline which for a short time makes you invincible, gives you unlimited ammo, and enabled one hit kills. Fans of the past MoH games may not like these new features as they seem to make the game to easy.
The overall story is OK for a MoH game but each level seems the same. Basically you complete the main objective, kill a German officer, find an important document, and complete two-four other secondary objective(some become part of the main objective later on in the game). Sure you go to most of the theaters of war which is fun and all, but you can do that in Call of Duty and have a better experience.
The A.I. in the game is just plain terrible. Sure you can direct your squad to different areas but once they get to said area they immediately come back to you, making it hard to perform flanks. Your squad kill get caught in your crossfire and take poor cover. Manytimes they'll just stand in front of a machine gun nest until you do something or until they die.
The environmental graphics are fine but not great the skins for the tanks and soldiers seem old and dated but besides that I don't have any real complaints.
The only good part of the game is the music and sound. If you have a home theater this game is perfect for it. You'll hear artillery and tank rounds land all around you and is amazing. The music is like always spectacular, moving, and helps you get into the mood of the situation.
Overall, the game seems like it had potential but then EA realized the competition it would have with Brothers in Arms and Call of Duty and just poorly slapped together a FPS. This is a renter, hell see if you can barrow it from a friend to save the four dollars on the rental fee.
