You take on the roles of door-kicking Tier 1 Operator Rabbit, Tier 1 sniper Deuce, and later, Army ranger Dante Adams. and eventually search for members of their own team, who have been taken prisoner.
The Gardez meeting turns out to be a setup, and once the bullets and 'nades start flying, the game takes off as the Tier 1 Operators go on the hunt for Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces in the Shahikot Valley. But for the most part, EA shows rather than tells, and the game is better - and that much more immersive - for it. The cast of Tier 1 characters, including the memorable Voodoo (a no-nonsense soldier from Bah-stun who uses a hatchet to chop more than wood), deliver pertinent details over the comms. Four-man Tier 1 team AFO Neptune conducts a hush-hush meeting with a local tribal elder who has intel on high-value targets in the region. The star of this show is, without a doubt, the campaign.ĭanger Close wisely skips any setup or lengthy exposition, dropping right into the middle of a nighttime op in the Taliban-held town of Gardez. If EA conveys one thing here, it's that America's real-life Tier 1 Operators carry wallets that say "Bad Motherf***er" on them, and when MoH is at its best, bringing the hate is a blast.ĭusty, the cover boy and most memorable character in the Medal of Honor campaign.ĭanger Close (formerly EA Los Angeles) did the heavy lifting on MoH's single-player campaign, and DICE (the studio behind the Battlefield franchise) took the reins on the multiplayer - but we'll get to that in a bit. It's also a synopsis of the game: Playing as a Tier 1 Operator in the single-player campaign, you're heavily outnumbered on foreign soil, but it's the bad guys who are screwed. It's a line that exemplifies the authentic, often-sardonic dialogue in Electronic Arts' much-talked-about Medal of Honor reboot. Having been there and done that in all things video game, I rolled my eyes in anticipation of some rendition of the stock line, "Come on, we've got to go help those guys before it's too late!" Instead, Dusty calmly says in his whiskey and cigarettes voice, "Wouldn't want to be those guys chasing Mother and his boys. On mission in the rugged mountains surrounding the Shahikot Valley, Tier 1 Operators Dusty (he of the ZZ Top beard) and Deuce get word from the eye in the sky that another four-man Tier 1 team - led by a paternal soldier with the apt call sign of Mother - is being pursued by a swarming mass of Taliban and Al-Qaeda soldiers.
