EA: Medal of Honor: Warfighter's campaign 5-15 hours
Posted: 25.10.2012 23:01 by JonahFalcon Comments: 11
Electronic Arts posted in its Medal of Honor: Warfighter FAQ that the single player campaign for the military shooter would be between 5 and 15 hours long.


According to the FAQ's answer to the question, "Approximately how long is the single player campaign?", it answered, "The single-player campaign will consist of roughly 10 hours of action ripped straight from the headlines and missions of Tier 1 Operators from around the globe with 12 full-missions each taking place in a different "hotspot" of the world."

The FAQ question and answer was subsequently pulled by Electronic Arts, but still remains in Google cache.

I'll bet many will rush the campaign just to post that EA are lying. Thern again, I lost interest in these SP campaigns primarily with "BC 2" as unlike "CoD" you cannot move until all the boring conversations between NPS's have run their monotonous course. Could also be lengthened by painful 'unskippable' video sequences.

Five to ten hours actually sounds a bit short doesn't it?... but mind you people want the online experience I suppose.

A lot of gamers won't even bother with single player at all.

It's an exercise in cinematics, not an actual game silly ^^

So yeah, not for me either.

I guess it's something to do you if you're internet crashes. Apart from that - ditto.

Awesome game,in the beginning its getting used to the controls again,forget your zoom and use ADS,you can sit after any cover or wall and lean out just like all Medal Of Honor titles,the gameplay feels better than Battlefield 3 and the graphics are awesome and not too dark as sometimes Battlefield 3 was on HD-tvs(brightness was full in my case)
Defenitly worth the buy!

From what I have heard so far from some reviews, this is not a game that I will spend time on. Sounds to me that the console hugging of FPS games have to diminish unless it will become a deep dark lonely grave. So many shooters - so little variation really- sad.

ideed not many companies feel like taking a risk on trying something new but isn't that just the fun about the creation of things? its like theyve forgotten the creative part of games just to be able to monopolize it...

I think that the big corporations believe in the "golden formula" too much and after hitting jackpot with the same shit in new toilette wrap over and over and using commercials and big money to bend the public opinion, paid off reviews and metacritic shinnenigans - I think that they will continue to believe they can sell shit for gold since consumers actually do buy these games - and they do so in alarmingly growing numbers.

I really hope that both kickstarting projects as well as the greenlight on valve and with the increasing attention to new OS's will get more independant projects/studios to release games for us. Torchlight 2 shows quite well that a game doens't need the monopolized trade for real money to make a fun game. All the things you want is in that game - albeit - not that big a musical score and the graphics aren't as detailed - but not as critizied either ;) And it is way cheaper and you can play offline...
Oh - and besides that - it is FUN.

Seeing that more of these upstarters can get into the well lit area and show companies that games that have a FUN factor to the game and daring concepts can make it - will hopefully in the long run yield more interesting games - or in best/worse scenario - kill the great hog that is Activision, EA, UBIsoft etc becasue they can't compete with humoungus projects that costs millions of gazillions of dollars to make a new texture and light rendering to the same mechanics - only add Facebook support...
