Brilliant review. You've showcased the game as my views on Medal of Honor screwed on backwards and told me exactly why. We don't agree on many FPS titles, you and I, but I get the feeling that we'll agree on this one.
For us. For them. For you. |

"United" is actually the word that the game's intro uses; I know this because I just double-checked. So clearly my thesis is better.
You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it. |

Actually, I used the word "annexed" purposefully. You'll notice there's no talk of any South Korean leader, or that country's part in the new state's creation. It's simply that the great North Korean leader "unified" the two countries, implying that he got South Korea to 'get on board' rather than assist with any sort of symbiotic collaboration...

This is a good review. I especially liked the last two-thirds of it when you started going into detail about level design and such. And the multiplayer thing was interesting to read about, too. It really sounds terrible, like... unplayable. I really don't get why developers can't make both elements good.
