While healing syringes are usually located in plentiful amounts throughout Medal of Honor's levels, the damage the player receives with each stray bullet is strong enough to make them think twice before running blindly into a Nazi's line of fire, resulting in gunfights that are both strategically satisfying as well as adrenaline-inducing. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond's enemy AI is nothing special, but they are smart enough to give players a good fight in battles. This means that players can run their hands in, around, and through all kinds of objects in Medal of Honor's environment as if someone had turned on a "noclip" cheat - a visual which does nothing to help immersion.
There aren't nearly as many physics models present in Medal of Honor's environments either, and although players can pick up and throw an impressively large amount of melee weapons and random objects, these items only appear to have in-game collision turned on when they are being used as weapons, not when they are simply existing in Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond's levels. The graphics, while not terrible, are nowhere near the level of VR games like Half-Life: Alyx, which only required 67GB of storage at launch. It's rather shocking that Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond requires 170GB of storage on PC, especially when looking at the game in action. These videos (shot with a VR camera) provide an in-depth look at some of the most interesting moments in Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond's story, and are likely the main reason why the game has such a massive file size.

These actions, especially in VR, go a long way in helping players form attachments to these characters, and makes it all the more tragic when the realities of war come into sharp focus. Players will listen to their AI companions trade war stories and backgrounds on trucks, sit quietly with them on ominous boat rides to historic battle locations, and infrequently direct them in strategic scenarios like ambushing a truck in the French countryside. The original Medal of Honor game was designed to teach players about the realities of war as well as entertain them with a FPS experience, and Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond definitely follows suit in this regard. Despite Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond's worst qualities (pacing, optimization, and immersion hiccups) there is still a lot to enjoy in EA's new VR title, especially for history fanatics. Respawn Entertainment's Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond isn't breaking as much new ground in the world of virtual reality FPS games as it could, but it is still a solid shooter that provides an interesting look at what actually happened in some of World War 2's most important battles.
