Medal of Honor Airborne

Hello fellow Cyberspace, Today I want to talk to you about another video game, Medal of Honor: Airborne.  I’m speaking from my experience playing it and will give you a detailed analysis.  I will also tell you a little story that develops throughout the game.  I will help you get organized and learn some details about some tricks that I’ve devised for you.  Without further ado, please proceed to read about my experience, take in my analysis, learn about the history of the game and finally get some information on tricks you can use when playing Medal of Honor: Airborne I know you’ll enjoy it.


  •     My Analysis:


This game has been designed so that the margin of difficulty is going to increase as you advance in the levels.  The reason for this is the arrival of more experienced and more aggressive German troops and Nazis that you need to eliminate.  This is the Nazi Storm Elite, which has armored suits with anti-gas masks.  They also bear the new general purpose MG-42 machine gun which performs really well.




  •     Communications:


Throughout the game, you will hear radio communications that ask for reinforcements in some particular area. They say something like “If you’re listening to this release, please go to X.” They are somewhat comforting and will help guide you by letting you know where you should go.  You can also ask for help but whether or not you get it is another matter.





  •     Graphics:


The graphics has improved a lot and has good visual effects, but there are some glitches are funny, the compass is easy to read, with a star mark that target wear you have to go to, the line that indicates the level of life is very clear and a little funny, let you in almost every weapon aiming before shooting, something very interesting, your ally when you point it a prohibited symbol appears.
In the Meeting Room or when the new missions are released, they are very detailed and easy to understand.
One tip is that you begin to admire the landscape and they have done this part very well.





  •     Parachuting:


This new facet of the game is very important as it can alter the entire course of the mission or even kill you... Since you are the one who will choose where you’re going to land.  You have to practice it because you can die from landing on the roof instead of the target, or you can even land behind enemy lines, which is not something I recommend.




  •     Start Point or End Point:


This game does not have a specific beginning point or end point.  There is little emphasis on sequences which are usually controlled in many first-person games. Also the player will have the option of going to each target without going to another one first and then it equals the game Call of Duty II, which was a game of the year in 2005.




  •     Weapons


Having the ability to modify weapons that can then be exchanged for parts is an advantage in Airborne. This is the second time this feature has been included in the Medal of Honor series. Your modifications of the weapons are unlocked permanently in the course of the game.
As you gain more experience with weapons you will have access to new ways of using them. My only criticism is that the weapons need to be modified during combat and this is not something that can be easily done, especially in the middle of an attack.





  •     History:


In Airborne, the player assumes the role of Boyd Travers, a soldier in the 82nd Paratrooper Airborne Division. Travers’ action takes place in Sicily, Palermo, Italy, Normandy, France and then onto the Netherlands. The game begins with the Allied invasion on the coast of Sicily (1943) and follows him to a rescue mission in Palermo, Italy (1943). There will also be Operation Market Garden when 30,000 paratroopers land in Holland.  This last mission leads to the end of the game.


  •     The 6 campaigns included in Airborne are:


1. Operation Husky
2. Operation Avalanche
3. Operation Neptune
4. Operation Market Garden
5. Operation Varsity
6. Operation "Der Flakturm" - Destroy the Flak Tower


  •     Missions and Objectives:


Medal Of Honor Airborne includes a total of 6 missions of which 5 are based on actual events in World War II.  Each mission is different and has its own objectives.


  •     Instruction:


Right in the beginning, you will learn how to jump from an airplane, a Douglas C-47 Skytrain. You will continue jumping up to 3 times and at lower and lower altitudes. If you do well during all 3 times, you will win Golden Wings.





  •     Mission I: Unlimited Damage (Operation Husky, Adanti, Sicily) Italy


This mission takes place in the Sicilian town of Adanti, where the Germans have established four antiaircraft DCA. Your mission is to destroy all four batteries. By this time you should be meeting up with the forces of the 82nd Airborne Division who have been under attack in the village and need help eliminating a sniper. Finally, you need to eliminate the Germans who have taken Adanti and take it back for the Allies.

My advice for success:
This is not as difficult a mission as some others. I advise getting familiar with the commands and the weapons first. You can have a breakthrough by trying to get to high places to become a sniper.




  •     Mission II: The Show (Operation Avalanche, ruins of Paestum, Italy)


Among the ruins of Paestum, the Germans have established a major camp. Your mission is to destroy their fuel and ammunition, cut communications, and with the help of the Infantry, commanded by Corporal Kish, do the same in the area where enemy anti-aircraft weapons can be destroyed by air support.

My advice for success:
This scenario is difficult as there are too many Germans. They are everywhere. The mission has nothing to do with the Italian black shirts. The Germans are very good at killing so you must be careful. I’m sure you will love the scaffolding, be careful and I recommend being a sniper.




  •     Mission III:  Saved By the Sacrifice - Operation Neptune, Deauville and Utah Beach, France

During this mission, your job is to neutralize two towers containing enemy surveillance and radar antenna. They are located on the coastline of Normandy, France. You must get down on the beach to help the Rangers take the two bunkers on the coastline.

My advice for success:
To be perfectly clear, you are behind enemy lines and you end up falling down near a trench. Congratulations! In addition to this, you have a surprise in store for you! You now must destroy a tank and do this you have to collect all the pieces that make up a bazooka. I know, this sounds like fun!  Especially when you are being attacked by the Germans the whole time! And the bazooka’s pieces are scattered all over the place. But the last piece of this bazooka is on the rooftop of a house.  And to whom do we have to thank for that idea? You have a great view of everything going on as you descend. One more thing, there are areas where there are barrels of gasoline store, which can be export easily. They are easy to recognize as the barrels are painted dark red.
The most difficult part of this mission on the beach is getting into the trenches. Next, it’s trying to stay alive as you have many Germans firing on you from machine gun nests.




  •     Mission IV:  The Inauguration - Operation Market Garden, Nijmegen, Netherlands

Taking the city of Nijmegen is vital to the success of Operation Market Garden. The objective is to ensure that the 82nd Airborne Division takes the bridge and the road in order to allow the passage of troops along with their Sherman tanks. However, the Germans end up preventing the capture of the town of Nijmegen and the bridge, fighting until the end.

My advice for success:
This quest to take the city of Nijmegen is horrible, like a walk through purgatory. The Germans are at all times in attack mode and do not let up long enough to even allow you a breather. The city is full of snipers and machine gun nests. Due to all the debris, the tanks can hardly maneuver. There are very elite Nazi soldiers that prove very difficult to eliminate when you finally do reach the bridge. It appears there are more Nazi soldiers who are manning a panzer cannon which is aimed right at you, firing in an attempt to destroy you. You’ll need to use the bazooka or you’ll be doomed to perdition.
I recommend that you use the church as a sniper position and when you clear the area then move through the city. You have to try to take the nest of enemy machine gunners and use the machine guns against the enemy.




  • Mission V: Operation Varsity - Amid an industrial complex in Essen, Germany

Well congratulations for your promotion to Corporal and now to celebrate, you and your team have been destined to go to an industrial complex. This is where you have to eliminate some enemy tanks, a large ammunition depot and a train containing a Dora cannon, which is like long range guns mounted on a railroad.

My advice for success:
The most important thing about this mission is that you have a sniper rifle because the factory is full of them. You need to sneak around the upper tubes and towers as this is where the first ones are that you have to try to eliminate.
The basement is undermined by the Germans and the worst is that you have to destroy the entire arsenal so put the pump and run away.
The train is full of Germans and you have to put several pumps to stop it. Oh, it seems I forgot; when you get to the station, the train is set in motion so you have to jump onto it to make bombs and also kill the Germans who are around and have to leave the train alive. It is a great experience.




  •     Der Flakturm Mission VI - In the heart of the Reich Germany


The Flakturm is a huge defensive tower, which the airstrikes were not able to destroy, due to its impressive anti-aircraft complex. Now the Airborne, are responsible for the destruction of the tower, to give the final blow to the fall of the German army. Your plane is destroyed by anti-aircraft fire, hope you have a happy landing, you have to destroy the guns and artillery, and you need a lift to take the ammunition, and a control room and not forget about hundreds of Germans. After all this, you have to escape from the tower with the engineers and use the detonator to trigger explosive charges placed throughout the building, which will be destroyed before your eyes.

My advice for success:
I really would like to give you counsel, but this part is infernal. The best landing sites are on the roof or at the base, never in the middle. This is easy to miss and in this way can be roughly organized around the stage. There are snipers, tanks, Flammenwerfer 35 (Flamethrowers), a light tank and elite troops of all kinds. Finally, enjoy the spectacle of millions of bits flying to Flakturm. Good Luck

April 2014 Lunar Eclipse
A total lunar eclipse will occur on the morning of April 15, 2014, the first of two total lunar eclipses of the year. This eclipse begins a series of four total eclipses, with a difference of about six months, called tetralogy of eclipses or later Eclipses Moons blood.1 tetrad will be those of October 8, 2014, April 4, 2015 and September 28, 2015.
The eclipse will be visible on April 15 in the Pacific Ocean, including Australia, and North and South. The moon will pass south of the center of the shadow of the Earth. As a result, the northern part of the moon will be noticeably darker than the southern part. It will happen during the upward phase of the orbit of the moon, part of Lunar Saros 122.
Observation:Because the moon is not necessary, go to any special place to observe this event, it is important to be in a comfortable and safe place.The lunar eclipse will occur in the constellation Virgo (ie to the southeast), close to the star Spica, we also have the planet Mars nearby.
On the other hand, if you prefer, Griffith Observatory broadcast the eclipse live on the Internet at the following address http://www.griffithobservatory.org/exhibits/special/Lunar_Eclipse_April_2014.html?oeidk=a07e8zhut3o95c8bff8&llr=iz57rbcab

Thought of the day by Epictetus

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.

by Epictetus
