EA: Medal of Honor and Hot Pursuit crossed 5 millions sales figure mark". GamePur. 1 February 2011 . Retrieved 3 February 2011. Compared directly to COD‘s single player, MOH is quite strong and, at a push, I’d actually say the two are very close. COD still has the edge, due to the far more believable and likable characters and the moments of emotional impact, but for overall atmosphere, military realism and general gameplay, the two are close. Medal of Honor Collection, released on March 6, 2007 for the PlayStation 2, is a set of three games: Medal of Honor: Frontline, Medal of Honor: Rising Sun and Medal of Honor: European Assault.

Johnny Cullen (2010-05-05). "Blog Archive " EA announces October release for Medal of Honor". VG247 . Retrieved 2010-10-14. The series began in 1999 with Medal of Honor. The game was developed by DreamWorks Interactive, when at the time the studio and series were jointly owned by DreamWorks SKG and Microsoft Games, with the game concept and story created by filmmaker Steven Spielberg. The game was released for the PlayStation on October 31, 1999. [2] Spielberg's inspiration for the series emerged while directing and producing the World War II film Saving Private Ryan to create a game that can concurrently be an educational and entertaining experience.

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. 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.

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. The gameplay originally focuses on the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), an American espionage organization during World War II, placing emphasis on using false papers and silenced pistols, but as the series and the technology has progressed, it has shifted emphasis towards front-line combat. Since the release of Medal of Honor: Rising Sun the series has focused on providing a more open-ended element to the games, allowing the player to have more options in each level instead of a linear path. The violence, up to Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is bloodless and simple, usually consisting of elaborate animations, while the violence in Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault and onward contains the occasional sprays of blood.
