Medal of Honor Warfighter is a satisfying game

I gave up on it big time. Danger Close and EA patched it this month, and while it's definitely not perfect, there are some really good things this game does well.

First, the bad.

-Menus are difficult to navigate.
-Graphics aren't the best, but they get the job done.
-The unlock system isn't overly informative or intuitive.

Now, the good.

+My Gun is probably only second to Ghost Recon's Gunsmith as far as cool weapon customizations go.
+The actual gunplay is phenomenal. Guns are not lasers and they should act differently when outfitted for different ranges, mobility and stealth. That is all done very well in Warfighter.
+The game modes are pretty fun. Hot Spot is sort of like Headquarters, but you have to arm and defuse it rather than have all your people sit in a room and wait for a timer to tick down. Combat Mission is like Rush in BF. There's also TDM and a mode called Homerun, which is like CTF.
+Support Actions. The support actions are the same for each soldier in a class, but they are different across the six classes. Nothing is overpowered.
+This game is not easy. Kills are extremely gratifying. Wins are even more so.

Recommendation

It's roughness and nonintuive unlock progression aside, the game is rewarding after you get over the hump. I'm not saying get this game immediately. I'm saying that if you see it in the $15 bin or on sale for next to nothing on Amazon, give it a shot. But you have to want to keep playing it. I think once players get over the hump in Warfighter, there is a lot to like.

The one thing that outweighs the bad is how well the guns feel when you shoot them and how satisfying a kill is. I know I'm swimming against the current with BO2 out, and it's unrealistic to forget that game. But Warfighter feels so satisfying once you figure it out. It just takes patience.
