About Medal of Honor: Airborne
Medal of Honor: Airborne dropped on September 4, 2007 from EA Los Angeles for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. This shooter puts you in the boots of Boyd Travers, a Private First Class with the 82nd Airborne Division. The game reimagined World War II action by starting every mission inside a transport plane high above enemy territory. Players drop behind lines to fight across Sicily and Germany without following a strict linear path. You face an expansive environment where you control your own route to objectives. It launched during the peak of military shooters but offered a distinct take on paratrooper combat that stood out from standard infantry games of that era.
Gameplay
Every session begins with a tense drop from a C-47 sky over hostile ground. You must survive the landing, find your weapon, and secure an exit point before enemies swarm you. Once on the map, you gain total freedom to tackle objectives in any sequence you choose. The game encourages stealth and flanking rather than rushing headlong into firefights. You can upgrade weapons and gear between missions to improve performance. Combat feels fast and chaotic since you often engage from unexpected angles after a long fall. Multiplayer modes add competitive play, but the core loop relies on your ability to navigate open zones alone while managing limited supplies and ammo in real time.
What Players Think
The data shows mixed feelings among players. IGDB lists a score of 77.2 out of 100 based on 199 ratings. User reviews reveal a wide gap in opinion regarding the paratrooper mechanic. One player logged 16.8 hours and gave it a 5.0 out of 10 rating, calling it okay but not amazing or terrible. That same reviewer noted the drop concept felt cool. The community mood suggests appreciation for the open design but frustration with the execution of the landing phase. While some found the freedom refreshing, others felt the gameplay loop lacked polish compared to other titles in the genre. The completion rates and playtime vary significantly depending on whether users focused on single player or multiplayer modes.
PlayPile's Take
This title is worth a look if you want a different take on WWII shooting without following a straight line. The price was standard at launch for PC and consoles, though finding it cheap now helps. You earn achievements by completing specific objectives during your jumps. The game works best when you enjoy testing your own strategies in open maps. It fails if you expect a polished campaign with constant action sequences. The landing mechanics remain the defining feature that divides players. Try it once to see how the free-roaming approach feels before committing hours to the story.
