Whilst walking through town today I strolled off into a local video game store and picked up Medal of Honour Frontline. Before seeing it in the classics range I wouldn't have dreamed of picking it up but I thought what the hell :)

So far so good and its a surprisingly decent title. I rented it last Christmas but didn't really play it through properly and I only got about half way through. This time however I have taken it slower and gone through the game with a lot more care making sure all enemies are taken care of and that I try to avoid serious damage etc.

Anyway back to the point. For £20 I recommend that you give this game a look for sure. Its not a blockbuster by any means (despite the spectacular opening level) but its a decent FPS game with some classic Medal of Honour gameplay. Highly recommended for £20!

On a side note I got a job today :) After months of searching I finally managed to get a foot in the door. With the spare cash around I can look forward to the gaming period ahead as theere are many GameCube and Xbox titles I want. I can use the money to pick up the PS2 games I missed out on as well :)

Nah I don't put MoH Frontline as a must purchase, but for 20 quid- yeah mabye.

I'd pick RTCW over it anyday. MOH has some moments of greatness but the rest is mediocre.

And dam you for getting a job- i've been looking for weeks. :)

Sniper rifles and grenades. I find the levels are perfectly designed for sniper combat, not close combat. The first multiplayer level, the town one, and the railway and harbour levels provide some good 1 on 1 battles. Three way fights have proved good too.

I like sniping at people from the safety of buildings and chucking grenades out of windows when they get near. MoH multi lets me do this a lot.

It's a sniping game.

The multi on Frontline is sodding terrible. Even with 4 players it's utter toss, the guns just don't suit multiplayer gaming.

Multi? Peeesh! Surely you can't find the multi player any good? Any less than 3 players and its almost unplayable. Probably the games weakest point by a long shot.

RTCW also has a big online multiplayer and a co-op mode. The second chapter when it goes all Goldeneye for a bit is excellent.

And RTCW is less confiningly linear and gives a player more freedom.

Anyway seeming as you like MoH, have you played Turok 4? That's a pretty darn good set of levels.

RTCW is too short and its not worth getting. I am really enjoying Frontline and for £20 you can't really go wrong.

no it's more teh fact that i found the level designs boring, lack of decent AI, lack of real decent set pieces. I don't know... i tried to like it but just couldn't. it's also one of the few fps that i suffer motion sickness from (very few make me feel that way)
