Medal of Honor
Once a valuable and beloved franchise, this series has really fallen hard on its face; so hard, in fact, that EA decided to leave it alone for a while thanks to the abysmal failures that were Medal of Honor (PS3, 2010) and its sequal, Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Back on the Playstation one and two the franchise was centered around the Second World War and had great controls and solid narratives.
Not long ago the franchise was revived and shifted to focus on modern conflicts and wars, attempting to “authentically” capture the events on the Afghan front. The game takes itself and it’s story so seriously that it makes the dumb enemy AI and bad writing stand out that much more. This franchise can stay off the radar for a while, there’s certainly no shortage of similar games out there.
