Moore also added that the reviews for the game, despite similar points being brought up in a number of reviews, were “lower than it [Warfighter] deserved.” Medal of Honor Warfighter received negative reviews for reasons that the good majority of reviews seemed to agree with such as the focus on authenticity conflicting with the all-out gun battles typically seen in an FPS.
