BA4 - Game Design Document entry 2

So, we have chosen our game; Medal of Honor (2010), or less specifically the Medal of Honor series as a whole.  We are yet to decide if we want to take influence exclusively from the 2010 game, or the entire series. We went out and bought a copy of the Medal of Honor game from 2010, simply titled 'Medal of Honor'. We wanted to experience the game first hand, and see it from the player's perspective.

After playing through the first few single-player missions, I can't say I think much of it. The game tries to feel gritty and realistic, telling the story from behind the eyes of a 'Tier One' operative, in Afghanistan, 2002. You (the player) go through various covert missions, using assault rifles, handguns, sniper rifles, as well as more hi-tech equipment to complete the levels. The game rather tastelessly puts you up against Taliban fighters with AK-47's. Although I'm certain that the enemies are accurate, it seems to be a shooting gallery aimed at a western audience. You are the elite American soldier, blasting through lacklustre scenario's full of generic enemies. Additionally, it's plain to see that Medal of Honor takes from super-successful, other games like Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare. Which from a financial standpoint, can't be faulted on.
