History YMMV / MedalOfHonor

** For what it's worth, "warfighter" is the US Department of Defense's catch-all term for any individual personnel (armed or support), from any branch of service, and from any allied nations. It is generally used when the other catch-all term, "service member", does not sound threatening enough.

** For what it's worth, "warfighter" is the US Department of Defense's catch-all-term for any and all individual armed or support personnel, from all branch of service, and from all allied nations.

* TheWoobie: Rabbit. Poor Rabbit. He falls from a helicopter, gets the building blown up around him, forcing Mother to drag him to safety, gets shot, jumps off a cliff, gets captured, escapes, gets captured AGAIN, is tortured, but then rescued, but finally [[TearJerker succumbs to his wounds while waiting for a rescue helicopter.]] The worst part is that this all happened over a period of a few hours.

* UncannyValley: Multiple reviewers have noted this regarding the pre-rendered cinematics in ''Warfighter''. Everything is incredibly photorealistic and could actually be mistaken for live-action... but the technology still can't get human faces quite right, and the result is incredibly jarring and unnerving. Preacher's wife and daughter get especially hit hard with this.

** The first games up to Frontline had none other than MichaelGiacchino as composer, so there's a good reason for it. Some stand-out tracks are the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqO4wHrP1HA main theme]], the epic theme from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ELFxB-tGhE Allied Assault]] and the TearJerker[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLiRgNFvfGw Arnhem Knights]]

* TearJerker: ''Medal of Honor (2010)'''s [[spoiler: ending. Rabbit dying slowly. In first person view. While your comrades are trying desperately to keep you alive until the helicopter arrives.]]

* RuinedFOREVER - Put a LinkinPark song in the trailer and fanboys start BAWWING as much as the band.

** The epic battle music, as [[http://www.tracksounds.com/reviews/medal_honor.htm noted]] by film score [[http://www.filmtracks.com/titles/medal_honor.html reviewers]], clearly has a JohnWilliams flavour, especially his work for ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. The theme for the German Army ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xulvBtTMfY The Radar Train]] (at about 2:44 - 2:59) compare with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1jOIxV3t1E Brother of the Crusiform Sword]] (at about 0:50) ) is clearly reminiscent of John Williams' theme for the Germans in that movie. This is no wonder, since the game's producer was StevenSpielberg and the tone of the first 1999 game was an adventurous and light-hearted version of WWII.

* ScrappyLevel - The Golden Lion (rail-shooter sequences, tons of snipers, etc) and Nijmegen Bridge (infinitely {{respawning enemies}} with little cover) in ''Frontline''; Escape from Trondheim, Sniper's Last Stand and The Communications Blackout in ''Allied Assault'', etc.
** ''Especially'' Sniper's Last Stand, where you might as well [[ZeroPunctuation bind quicksave and quickload to the left and right mouse buttons.]] Hidden, psychic hitscan snipers who fire as soon as you exit cover, followed by an {{escort mission}} with a bunch of [[ArtificialStupidity apparently suicidal engineers]] who constantly run on ahead of you.

* SnarkBait: ''Warfighter''s gets a lot of snark for its title, with some people saying it might as well be called ''Medal of Honor: Gunshooter''.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: To date, the sequence where Jimmy Patterson received his Medal of Honor as described in the first game has never been revisited or made playable.

* WallBanger: In ''Spearhead'''s opening scenario, you are a US Airborne trooper hooking up with British troops and you are made to replace your M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle for a Lee-Enfield bolt-action one, despite that fact that the Garand is a more advanced weapon.

* Panzerknacker Unleashed from ''MOH Underground''. The first level had dogs that could be killed by 8 pistol shots or one shotgun blast. The 2nd level had zombies armed with automatics and ridiculous accuracy [[spoiler:that explode when killed]] as well as armored knights that are always charging at you.
