The game is divided into 16 different missions in which you control vehicles like a buggy, a chopper, a boat, a hovercraft, ... even a paraglider. A lot of effort was put into the AI of the game, as many developers try to do in FPS games nowadays. Your enemies can either hear you, see you or even know you're there by noticing changes in the environment. None of the AI is scripted which makes the enemies you're facing unpredictable. They also have different moods, some are agressive, others are not.

Liberation is a completely new style of Medal of Honor™ multiplayer game play with the goal being to capture the entire opposing team. It is possible to stop them from re-spawning by destroying their Headquarters, but this is a difficult task that can only be accomplished with the coordinated use of artillery and armor.

Each time a player is killed he or she remains in a POW jail until freed by teammates. Teamwork is essential, as multiple tasks are required to open the jail. Want to be the hero? The last free soldier can free the whole squad and still win the game.

You can carry up to four different weapons at a time, and since Zombie Studios has considerable experience with military-themed shooters, you can expect to see plenty of real-world weapons (or reasonable facsimiles) in the game, such as AK-47s and M-16s. However, the developer wants to make the game as accessible as possible, so using these weapons should be a breeze for most players--automatic weapons barely have any barrel climb at all when firing continuously, and on the game's easiest difficulty level, it will even have basic aiming-assistance that will let you hit any target within your circular targeting reticule, similar to the shotgun in Halo for the Xbox.

As is the trend for most counter-terrorist-themed shooters, Shadow Ops will contain a bit of globetrotting, as your squad will chase the terrorists through locations like the Congo, Syria, Kazakhstan and Chechnya. We spent most of our time looking at areas of one of the Syria levels, which was covered in sandy orange textures, giving it a Counter-Strike "Dust"-type feel, especially with our character toting an AK-47.

Although large-scale battles are a theme we've seen running throughout our time with Call of Duty, interacting with your squadmates is being kept relatively simple. You won't be able to issue orders such as "follow me" or "attack there"; instead, Infinity Ward are doing everything they can to make your teammates intelligent so you won't have to lead them around by the nose. Should a friendly jump into your line of fire or occupy a stationary turret you'd like to use, simply click on the teammate and they'll get out of your way.

Full Spectrum Warrior is based on a light infantry-training simulator designed by Pandemic Studios for the U.S. Army as a tool to reinforce Army doctrine and squad tactics amongst troops. Full Spectrum Warrior is a squad-based, tactical-action game that delivers the experience of squad level command in the heat of battle.

At one point, your player character is on a tropical island beach as he approaches a group of heavily armed mercs. As you approach the group and begin firing at them, you immediately notice that these are not going to be your typical “charge at you” enemies. All of your foes seem to work together, hiding behind rocks and palm trees, moving to out-flank your position and even retreating if they see they are losing the fight. It’s indeed some of the most advanced AI we have ever seen in a single player game.

Looking across an impressively realistic bank of sand dunes, across to a huge stone fortress I was encouraged to take just one of my men (ironically a Pte. Jenkins) and have a go at sniping the few soldiers that could be seen from our slightly elevated position. Taking out the guard atop a minaret with a satisfying head shot I watched impressed as the base suddenly flared into life and various guards started running to the ramparts and firing in my general direction. Taking them out didn’t prove too much trouble though and I quickly instructed the rest of my men to follow me as we ran down to try and enter the fort through a side door.

The game has some highly detailed character models for the soldiers and the AI is extremely impressive; friendly soldiers act like real team members and enemy soldiers are constantly trying to out-flank, duck and move in order to avoid being shot. Graphically, the game looks very sharp indeed; the renderer can handle outdoor terrain very well, as evidenced by the British campaign while we tried to escape from the Germans on a highly detailed French country road. The water effects are very impressive as well.

A new Medal of Honor game for PC means introduction to a new main protagonist, and this time around we'll be filling the shoes of Marine recruit Tom Conlin.

Caught up in the Japanese airborne attack on Pearl Harbour, Conlin also leads the assault on Guadalcanal and finally is involved in the climactic battle at Tarawa. In other words, you'll be giving the Japanese Army a good kicking.

Through more than 20 missions that span the desolate winter of the Arctic to the searing heat of the Libyan desert, Hidden & Dangerous 2 will immerse players in both single and multi-player missions as they battle the armed forces of Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese Empire.

There doesn't seem to be a shortage of vehicles in the game, either. According to producer Joel Taubel, it looks like there will be somewhere between 15 and 20 vehicles in all, covering land, air and sea, and while most of the vehicles are at least based on real-world machines, some liberties have been taken in the name of good gameplay. On the ground, there's a Humvee that seats 5 with a protected turret on top, and a 6-wheel ATV that can hold three people, acting as a solid recon vehicle. There are also a few fast-attack vehicles ("FAVs"), which are essentially buggies that can speed across lands in a hurry, similar to ones seen in the movie Three Kings. Rounding out the ground vehicles we saw: a 5-ton truck with slots for 8 players, but in practice holds as many teammates as you can cram in.

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault gives players a sense of the courage it took to fight the Imperial Japanese Army from the shock of Pearl Harbor to triumph on the shores of the Tarawa Atoll. Set in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from 1941–1944, players will assume the role of Marine recruit Tom Conlin as he survives the attack on Pearl Harbor, leads the assault on Guadalcanal, and finally charges up the beaches for the climatic battle at Tarawa. Armed with their wits and a variety of authentic weapons, it’s up to players to stop the Japanese war machine in its tracks.
