Also, MoH 2010's plot was so badly described that all I really got was 'everyone wants to climb a mountain for some reason,' and I could only keep track of which protagonist I was by who he hung around with. And then I was supposed to care when one of them died rather than going 'wait, which one was he again?'
Plus rather than trying to make you feel like you were a Tier 1 it tried to nag you into acting like one. If a game is going to hand me a sniper rifle I've never used before it should make the effort to make me feel like a pro, not have my spotter complain at me for not hitting the bad guy with my first shot.

You know, I have to confess, I don't remember anything about the plot of the 2010 game. When Voodoo says "For Mother, for Rabbit" right before breaching the final door, I couldn't remember who Rabbit was. Nor could I remember who Dusty was when he finally showed up in the end.
(BTW, did they market the game as "Medal of Hon
our" in the UK or was that just you spelling it the way you normally would? If they marketed it that way, that's pretty messed up.)
I think the game would've done better if they hadn't tried going head to head with CoD, especially given the response to the previous MoH. If you only had sixty bucks for one game, I don't know anyone who would spend it on this if CoD: BO2 was going to be available at the same price only two weeks later. Maybe a May release? Tie it in with Memorial Day?
