By Mack Ashworth

It’s time for another Retro Ad Replay article! This is the series where we head backward in time to reminisce and celebrate the anniversary of some of the most significant moments in gaming. If you find yourself wanting more content like this, be sure to visit Mandatory.com.

In this October 12 edition of Retro Ad Replay, we’re traveling back 11 years in time to when Medal of Honor first launched on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. That’s October 12, 2010. Developed by DICE and published by EA, this was a reboot for the series.

GameRevolution awarded Medal of Honor (2010) an 8/10 in our review, celebrating the “strong storyline,” “impressive in-game details,” how “weapons unlock based on class type, not rank,” the “challenging Tier 1 mode,” and the “interactive environment.”

In MEDAL OF HONOR, brotherhood is an unspoken bond of trust and companionship through acts of honor where failing to leave a soldier behind isn’t an option and risking one’s life for the fate of another is common. The idea of brotherhood created MEDAL OF HONOR’s storyline, and it is the best storyline I have ever played in a tactical FPS thus far. Just like any FPS fan, I too become overly ecstatic about this genre: I can talk hours upon hours about it, give you my critical opinions down to exquisite detail, and discuss creative and strategic ways to deceive opponents online. And so, I wasn’t expecting much out of MEDAL OF HONOR considering how popular titles like MODERN WARFARE 2 have already set a nearly untouchable standard for the FPS genre, and I couldn’t foresee any title that was able to compete with that.

…

Like I said in the beginning, I wasn’t expecting much out of MEDAL OF HONOR, but I was more than satisfied. While the multiplayer has its cons, it definitely has potential to be built into something more and I wouldn’t be surprised if downloadable content releases soon. The single-player campaign is enough to hold anyone through a gripping story with non-stop and fast-paced action and a trio of compelling characters.
