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: Warfighter for PlayStation 3
Medal of Honor: Warfighter for PlayStation 3 is a military first-person shooter about special forces investigating an international threat. The campaign follows Preacher among others and connects combat with the effects of his work on his family. Operations in different countries form parts of the same investigation. You rescue hostages, follow suspects and attack enemy positions. Familiar faces from Medal of Honor from 2010 return, but events are not limited to Afghanistan.
You carry out focused objectives with computer-controlled teammates. From cover, you aim at opponents, switch weapons and respond to short instructions. When entering a room, you prepare a doorway with your squad and then quickly eliminate the threats inside. Such sequences require attention to targets and to who else is in the room. Chases and vehicle sections occasionally provide a different rhythm from firefights on foot.
You play the story campaign alone, and progress is saved at checkpoints. The content described belongs to the original PS3 release from 2012. International online matches and associated bonuses are not currently promised as playable: EA ended online services on 16 February 2023. A Limited Edition does not change the main campaign. Any old download codes and access to trial versions announced at the time are not offered as usable or included.
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.
This is Medal of Honor: Warfighter Limited Edition for PlayStation 3, offered without a manual. The story campaign is the same as in the standard release. Original online bonuses, an old Battlefield 4 trial period and working or unused codes are not promised as included.
Manual
Medal of Honor: Warfighter for PlayStation 3 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Danger Close developed Medal of Honor: Warfighter as a sequel to the modern Medal of Honor from 2010. Electronic Arts released the game in 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Where its predecessor kept the campaign in Afghanistan, Warfighter chose operations in different parts of the world. Preacher’s personal story connected those assignments to the tension between military deployment and life at home. This gave the campaign a different starting point from a succession of separate war fronts.
The developer used Frostbite 2, the technology that also powered Battlefield 3. For Danger Close, this meant moving to a different technical foundation. Unlike the previous Medal of Honor, the studio now worked on both the campaign and online component. The attention to special forces remained, with consultation and inspiration from military personnel’s experiences. However, the final events and characters form a written game story rather than a documentary literally reconstructing each assignment.
At launch, the Limited Edition received various online-focused offers, including early unlocks and access to a later Battlefield trial period. Such temporary benefits are different from the campaign on disc. After online services ended in 2023, Preacher’s offline story remains. On PS3, Warfighter therefore shows how Danger Close broadened Medal of Honor’s modern direction while placing more emphasis on a returning protagonist.
Similar games for PlayStation 3
Medal of Honor from 2010 is Warfighter’s direct predecessor on PlayStation 3. Modern military equipment, special forces and some characters return. The earlier game keeps operations in Afghanistan and also follows Army Rangers. Warfighter spreads its action across different countries and connects those missions more explicitly to Preacher’s personal story.
Battlefield 3 also uses Frostbite 2 on PlayStation 3 for a military campaign with smoke, lighting and powerful explosions. The technology is a shared feature, but the stories differ. Battlefield 3 tells of an attack through Blackburn’s interrogation and multiple perspectives. Warfighter stays closer to special operations and their impact on Preacher’s family.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 also brings back an established military group on PlayStation 3, with vehicles and firefights in different landscapes. Its conversations are more often light-hearted, and destruction plays a larger role. Warfighter focuses its objectives more on special actions, hostages and quickly entering enclosed spaces with your team.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 also combines international operations with chases and short, intense firefights on PlayStation 3. Both campaigns guide you through fixed objectives with computer-controlled allies. Warfighter connects that action to Preacher’s private life. Modern Warfare 2 switches between Task Force 141 and American Rangers and also includes separate Special Ops challenges for two players.
Killzone 2 also offers first-person combat on PlayStation 3 in which cover and your squad’s position matter. Its heavy weapons, sombre atmosphere and planet Helghan give the war a different character. Warfighter chooses modern equipment and focused operations on Earth, including hostage situations and doorways you force open alongside your team.
