How about an honest review?

Hadn't played a Medal of Honor game since the original was released for the PS1 back in '99. I completely ignored the other Medal of Honor titles for the PS1/PS2...I was too busy playing the Call of Duty games. But now that I own this new Medal of Honor, Black Ops just sits in its case (unless I want to frag some zombies). Why do I feel that Medal of Honor deserves your hard-earned dollars? Although I beat the single player campaign rather quickly (six hours) on medium difficulty on my first time through, I'm guessing that setting the difficulty to hard would really make the game a challenge. I walked away from my quick conquest of the campaign feeling a little disappointed...but all that changed once I fired up the online multi-player. Wow! Really intense. The graphics are top-notch (comparing the details of the facial features of the soldiers in CoD vs MoH...MoH wins by a landslide). The ambient noises in the maps are top-notch (birds chirping, etc...very high attention to detail by the MoH crew). The controls are very precise (although I do miss being able to lay flat on the ground in multi-player), and the run/slide feature is great when heading for cover. Although you can't lie prone in MoH multiplayer, CoD is more aggravating as I can't seem to turn when lying prone against a wall...and don't tell me that adds to CoD's realism either; it's just poor programming. I find myself trying to like CoD: Black Ops, but I keep loading MoH instead. There's even less cursing in MoH...Black Ops drops more F-bombs in the first mission of campaign mode than MoH has in the whole game. Which brings me to another big plus for MoH...there's an option to allow headset audio from only your Friends, only your team, or shut down the endless headset chatter completely...a feature that Black Ops really needs to add. I don't like being forced to endure endless F-bombs and constant chatter from people on headsets, and with MoH you can shut them up with a simple setting under options. No need to mute everyone individually in the game lobby like Black Ops currently forces you to do. Which reminds me of another big plus for MoH...waiting for your multiplayer game to start. Once you login to MoH multiplayer and choose your game type, you aren't stuck in a game lobby twiddling your thumbs...there's a screen that pops up describing the map you're about to play and a list of gameplay hints that you can scroll through while the map loads. It's a better use of my time than what CoD makes me endure...staring at player names as people enter/leave the CoD game lobby. Living out in the middle of nowhere, my only option for "high speed" internet is wireless, but I rarely have speed issues. Every once in a while someone will stab me to death after I just emptied an entire clip into their head and torso, but that's due to my internet speed, not the MoH servers. All in all, MoH trumps CoD...and in a big way; for me at least. Medal of Honor just seems to be a higher quality game with more attention to detail. Will I still play Black Ops? Probably...mainly because I spent $60 on it and I'm still waiting for it to impress me. I play Medal of Honor because it's fun. Enough said.
What's great about it: Attention to detail (audio & video quality, ability to squelch multiplayer headset chatter), realism, controls
What's not so great: It bugs me that I can't lie flat on the ground in multiplayer...stand or crouch only
I would recommend this to a friend!
