Kotaku - What are you dressing up as for Halloween? I'm going as Medal of Honor: Warfighter's Metacritic score. No, make that Sexy Metacritic Score for Medal of Honor. Because the real one is ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road. Some civilian critics didn't see it that way, though, so we begin with a couple of 10 scores given to it.
Alongside death, taxes and terrible Adam Sandler movies, video game sequels are just another crushing inevitability of life. Sequels and franchises are the lifeblood of the industry, so you can bet any halfway successful game will be aiming towards at least five more follow-ups and spin-offs in pursuit of more delicious money.
Yet even major franchises tend to run themselves into the ground eventually, where they can either reboot themselves and come back stronger than ever (think the new Tomb Raider games) or stay buried in the past.
This new Top 5 video series is starting with a bang, and quite possibly some teabagging, as I run through my favorite first-person shooters.

The video game industry is one based on the backs of its scholarly properties. Like movies and books, it’s a space that draws vigorously on strong sequels and innovative new thoughts. Notwithstanding, not all sequels surpass the enormity of their forerunners, and a chosen few of them check the start of the end for their →
Assassin's Creed series was ruined after Black Flag, Ubisoft made it annually game. I played Dead Space 1 and 2; were awesome but Dead Space 3 failed to make gosip. As MOH Warfighter was good game
I preferred Revelations over Brotherhood. AC Brotherhood had such a boring story while AC Revelations tied everything up very well for Ezio and Altair, if I was going to pick a game where it all started going downhill for me it would be AC 3 but despite that AC 1,2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 4, Rogue and Syndicate are all good games.
Lost Planet as far as I remember went like dead space with the third game (round based type play) it just felt like it was just a map clearing game with multiple horde survival. Call Of duty went and died long ago. Ghosts didn't help its cause but now we have three development houses it's going from bad to worse. GTA to me anyway was saved with five to me the driving up until then was awful. Mario and sonics died along time ago to in my eyes.
Brown envelopes stuffed with cash for all who write a good review!
To be fair, this applies to more than MOH.
"Defiantly not worth it"
Is that worse than 'definitely' Kotaku? ;-)
Medal of Honor is a good game, I cant understand why its getting such bad reviews, because if the first one got way better reviews and ratings, and this one is better than the first, how does this one get worse everything? It's going to be much better when its patched up and worked on a bit more and I love the fireteam aspect making it feel like a co-op experience within multiplayer, this game makes me feel so in control of the characters as well with lean and peak, slide and the tomohawk is awesome, best melee in a military FPS next to Bad Company 2. I honestly don't understand what came over people when they were reviewing the game. I would of gave it an 8/10 with my main complaints being the UI / menus can be confusing and slow, when it comes to countries it should have been you pick 1 country as if they were your permanent team (like MAG) and as that soilder you would unlock everything of the country first and foremost and then start to unlock everything from other countries for use (ex if I pick american OGA, I unlock all american units, calsses, weaapons and gear then start unlocking other country weapons for use)
and the fancy animation playing in the background is unessecary, and the single player while being better, could have been longer this time around and there could have been a bit more polish (game should have been delayed a little, time constraints seem to effect them).
