The fact is that, while it still has its flaws, it is utterly fantastic. So, trust me, if I say Airborne comes as a pleasant surprise, thatвЂ™s actually something of an understatement. WasnвЂ™t it time to put this old dog to sleep, once and for all? After all, isnвЂ™t this the franchise that introduced the realistic World War II shooter, then milked it to the point of extinction? HasnвЂ™t even Call of Duty seen reason to leave those damn Nazis alone? My personal feeling is that the last couple of console MoHs werenвЂ™t nearly as rotten as some would make out, but even IвЂ™d have to admit that the series had lost its way. We often caught ourselves shooting allies in the back out of pure jumpiness or, worse, waiting nervously for a shadow to emerge from the shroud, only to realize too late that it was indeed a Nazi soldier.Frankly, in a four-month period when we also see Bioshock, Halo 3, Haze, Call of Duty 4 and Crysis, I was looking forward to seeing this game in the same way that you might look forward to dinner with distant relatives when you could be in the pub with friends: thereвЂ™s a small chance that you might enjoy it, but the chances of boredom were riding rather high. They purposefully, and authentically, designed all of the soldiers' uniforms to look similar so that distinguishing friend from foe - especially in the dark and fog-filled settings of most missions - would be agonizingly difficult. The developers understand this effect and take cruel advantage of it.

We'll know for sure when the game ships on August 28th for 360, PS3 and PC. If you think, on the other hand, that you're ready to face the truth of war - the unpredictability that is so terrifying and so thrilling at the same time - Medal of Honor: Airborne could be the WWII shooter to deliver it.

If you're looking for the movie version of World War II, with epic scenes scripted into all the right places, Call of Duty will probably remain your favorite franchise. This constant uncertainty, coupled with the randomness of enemy encounters, could make Medal of Honor: Airborne play more like an actual war game than any of its competition. Medal of Honor: Airborne creates more of an enclosed arena and, not knowing where you'll drop in, places enemies everywhere. Most shooters guide you along a one-way path, with enemies popping out at scripted moments. Because you can approach each area from an infinite number of points, the levels must be constructed in a completely nonlinear way.

The ripples spread further than that, though. Medal of Honor: Airborne, therefore, often feels like a multiplayer deathmatch disguised as a single player campaign. It has to, as the game has no idea where you'll choose to land and must trust the enemies' AI to track you down each time. Die, restart and the whole battle will unfold completely differently. and next, you might be frantically kicking a grenade back at an unseen assailant. the next, you might be caught in a melee battle with a soldier who snuck up behind you. One moment, you might be taking pot shots at a squad of Nazis from behind a pile of crates. The result? An atmosphere of chaos in which you feel like anything can happen at any minute.
