The Best Addition to the EA - Medal Of Honor series
Review created: 02/22/09(updated 02/22/09)

The reviews are all true , that this addition to the MOH Series is great. If you play FPS games , and prefer the intimate battles that are carried on as an infantryman , this game has - just that. Being that the game doesn't have vehicles to run around in galore and is based on infantry play alone , it can compete with COD2.
The addition of being able to adjust your parachute and drop into the battlefield area as a paratrooper adds alot of extra playability. Secondly , you can also adjust your own personal preferences as to which weapons you prefer to carry with you when you parachute out of the airplane and glide into chaos as a footsoldier.
The battles are absolutely intense , loaded with firefights that lead you to the MarketGarden map and others. The MarketGarden map exemplifies how well the game has been put together , with multi level stairs , rooftops , ruins , broken railcars , ladders and more - including : snipers (who's eyeglass reflects to show their existance) when a threat.
Throughout the AI is flawless , with very realistic damage characteristics , coupled with excellent authentic sounds , uniforms and weaponry. For certain the WWII era has been captured in Airborne far beyond other games in terms of playability , as each mission has numerous objectives that must be reached.
The added feature of awards anouncements while in game , for deadly accuracy and such - also upgrade your ability to collect more ammunition than usual , when the opportunity arises , rather than becoming full only - without overemphasizing that feature.
The hud displays a very active and responsive set of features that includes a healthmeter that requires you to maintain it by picking up healthsacks strewn randomly around the maps after any damage. While each of the 4 health levels will deteriorate if you are injured , but regain accordingly back to their individual full level if you protect yourself for a short period of time in gameplay.
Overall , I have to score this game 10+++ out of 10 for it's originality , design and playability - as there is no other game that covers an infantryman's footsteps quite like AIRBORNE.
As the storyline is strong and well implemented , I have to say that if you like WWII FPS games , you will not be disappointed if you buy it. Whether you play the single player or multiplayer modes , you will definately not play this game once and forget it , like some other games.
