This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Medal of Honor for PlayStation 3
Medal of Honor for PlayStation 3 from 2010 moves the war series to Afghanistan. In this first-person shooter, you follow different American military personnel, including special forces members and Army Rangers. The campaign alternates focused infiltrations with open battles in which an entire unit comes under fire. Mountains, villages and military positions determine where you find cover and how far away you see opponents. You experience a fictional story built around recognisable military roles and conditions.
You stay close to your squad, follow radio instructions and use the weapon that fits the situation. At range, you take more time to track a target through your sights; between buildings, enemies react closer by. The pace changes during sequences with vehicles and air support. The campaign guides you through fixed objectives, so you know which position must first be reached or cleared. Checkpoints preserve your progress and let you retry a section after an unsuccessful action.
You play the story alone with computer-controlled teammates. This is the original modern Medal of Honor, rather than a game from the older World War II series. Online matches are not offered as playable content: EA ended services on 16 February 2023. The description focuses on the offline campaign. Any original online passes or other bonus codes are not promised as usable or unused with a second-hand copy.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Medal of Honor for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Medal of Honor
Electronic Arts released Medal of Honor in 2010 as a fresh start for a series mainly known for World War II. The game appeared on PlayStation 3 among other platforms. Danger Close developed the story campaign, while DICE handled the separate online component. Two studios therefore worked on different sides of the same release. Moving to Afghanistan changed the weapons, environment and the way the series presented its military story.
The campaign team consulted military personnel from the world of special operations. That starting point shaped its attention to small units, focused assignments and cooperation. Nevertheless, the game follows fictional characters and does not directly depict one historical operation. By placing special forces alongside Army Rangers, the campaign shows different scales of combat. Quiet movement and precise aiming give way to situations in which an entire position comes under pressure.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter arrived in 2012 as a continuation of this modern direction. That later game took operations further around the world and used different technology. The 2010 release therefore remains a separate chapter with its own campaign and presentation. Following the end of online services in 2023, that story of operations in Afghanistan is the main part you can continue to play on a PS3 disc.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Medal of Honor: Warfighter continues the series’ modern direction on PlayStation 3 and brings back familiar military characters. Both games follow special forces during focused actions. The 2010 release stays in Afghanistan and alternates those roles with Army Rangers. Warfighter spreads its missions across multiple countries and pays more attention to Preacher’s family.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare combines modern weapons, special operations and changing military perspectives on PlayStation 3. Its direct controls and teammates’ instructions feel related. Medal of Honor keeps its campaign in Afghanistan and places more emphasis on cooperation within those operations. Modern Warfare builds a larger fictional conflict around a different group of protagonists.
Battlefield: Bad Company also lets you travel with a military squad and use vehicles on PlayStation 3. The difference lies in tone and room to manoeuvre. Bad Company revolves around a search for gold, with jokes between squadmates and larger combat areas. Medal of Honor treats operations more seriously and keeps you closer to your unit’s fixed objectives.
Battlefield 3 alternates infantry combat with other military roles and vehicle scenes on PlayStation 3. Both campaigns show modern warfare from different perspectives. Medal of Honor stays geographically closer to one conflict zone. Battlefield 3 uses an interrogation and memories for a story about a terrorist attack, telling the sequence and connections between events differently.
Resistance: Fall of Man takes place in an alternative past in which the Chimera attack Britain on PlayStation 3. Moving with soldiers and fighting in first person are familiar. Medal of Honor uses modern military equipment and human opponents. Resistance adds alien weapons with unusual functions, changing how you select and use your arsenal.
