Medal of Honor: Warfighter wants to be ‘Saving Private Ryan meets Hurt Locker,’ but its gameplay is in the way (hands-on preview)

Billed as a gritty look at the lives of so-called Tier 1 Operators — the elite of the elite in the American special forces — it caught flak from the real-world military for putting players in the roles of the terrorists. The terrorists are gone from the multiplayer, but for better or worse, the single-player campaign is intent as ever on ripping its story straight from the headlines.
