    I know the game's not worth the full price but at 75% off, I think it's worth the price right now. I am also guessing all of you already know about this sale but still posting in case some people miss the sale.

    Regardless of what haters say, I enjoyed this game. It had an exceptional single player campaign, which is what the Medal of Honor series has always been known for, and this was no exception. Definitely one of the more fun campaigns I've played in recent years.

    Multiplayer certainly lacked polish, but it was reasonably good fun.

    Long story short, it's certainly not the worst game of all time, as many would have you believe.

    I loved the single player campaign too. The ending kinda moved me into tears ._.

    Multiplayer wise... Never touched it :p but for 7.50, the single player is worth about that much. Quite short though

    Was the campaign 5 hours of 10 hours? If it's only 5 hours then meh.

    Probably between 5 and 10, depending on your difficulty and your style of playing.

    I also loved the campaign. Gonna replay again. If you want MP, get BC2.

    The SP was very emotional, and made me QQ at the end... :(

    Use the code "CAG" and you get another 20% off, brings it down to $6.

    I mean, you can't go wrong with 8 dollars. Just think of it as having a lunch or something.

    This is a great deal for the single player campaign alone! The campaign is awesome and brought me to tears. I've played it through about 4 times. It has a great sniping level about half way through. It was rather short. It took me one night (about 6 hours) at medium difficulty. But for 6 bucks that's a buck an hour. Where else will you find entertainment that cheap. I paid full price for it and I don't feel cheated. That's how much I enjoyed the campaign.

    But the MP is crap! LOL.

    Hmm weird I myself actually enjoyed the MP. Although I won't really know how the SP is since I never played the campaign xD But definitely worth $6. :)

    How do I use the key to get this on EADM? I don't like the extra layer of DRM I've heard D2D adds to their games.

    Isnt the TIER 1 mode the multiplayer mode?
    Whenever I go in there, it asks to complete single player first to play in Tier 1.
    What seems to be the issue?

    No

    Tier 1 mode is SP but scores you on how well you did on a specific level

    Tier 1 mode is like super realism. You die in 1-2 bullets and there is a stopwatch.

    I am having a strange issue with the game.
    When ever I join a server, after playing for few mintues, I get a message"You have been kicked out".
    Its been really annoying.
    Anyone know what could be the issue?

    I had that issue. Update Punkbuster. It fixed the problem, and is stated by most of the gamers who had that issue.
