Medal of Honor: Airborne takes a lot of the traditional WWII FPS genre and changes it up a little. Maps are now nonlinear, and you have a pretty good choice of where you can start, and there are even bonuses for parachuting into specific areas.

The enemy AI is very reactive, and will avoid fire and grenades. However, later enemies get a bit wild, particularly in the last level, with machine gun wield super enemies and panzerschreck wielding enemies that can be difficult to take down.

Thankfully, the weapon system allows you to upgrade weapons up to three times. This includes things like faster firing, scopes, quicker reloads, better zooms, and capacity upgrades. This makes it so that you want to experiment with the weapons, which is a nice addition to the gameplay.

However, speaking of the gameplay, this is way too short of a game. Yeah, I get that multiplayer was where everyone was being funneled during this game's release, but the single-player campaign is very slim. At least a few more missions would have been appreciated. Which tells you how much I loved the game: I wanted more!

All in all, Airborne is a great experience, and the last great WWII FPS games from this franchise. After this game, MoH tried to chase CoD a bit too much and suffered as a result. I hope one day this game could be revisited by the devs and expanded upon. The ideas were solid and ahead of their time, but the game's short campaign really hampers it.

TL;DR: Really great game, but way too short.
