1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G34h4Sk9II&ab_channel=Batistuta.rwm Heroes Aboard]] can put a tear in your eye.
2* BrokenBase: MOH 2010 and Warfighter have split the franchise in terms of whether they're worthy of the brand name, but the majority at least really don't like Warfighter, as it was the worst-received game in the franchise.
3* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Expects nothing but Spec-Ops in Warfighter's public multiplayer matches. While not really a GameBreaker, their periodic [[InfraredXrayCamera x-ray vision]] and fast-firing close combat rifle with good damage are the go-to choices for many.
4* CompleteMonster: In ''Warfighter'', [[BigBad the Cleric]], the leader of several [[MiddleEasternTerrorists terrorist factions in the Middle East]], is in reality [[spoiler:Hassan Rasheed, a wealthy Arab banker from Dubai]]. Convincing hundreds of people to follow his cause of "fighting the Eagle", The Cleric trains them and sends them to commit various terrorist acts, like taking half a dozen people hostage and trying to kill them and the soldiers who arrive to save them. Discovering a powerful bomb, called PETN, Hassan sends several [[SuicideAttack suicide bombers]] to various train stations to blow themselves up and kill countless innocent people. When Task Force Mako discovers his base of operations and attacks it, Hassan sets his building on fire, along with all his men inside, and tries to blow himself up, hoping to [[TakingYouWithMe take down the US soldiers with him]].
5* CultClassic: While few play the game and nobody attempts to justify its campaign, ''Warfighter'''s multiplayer was surprisingly well-received by the players and fondly remembered due to its innovative features that few other games had, especially the buddy system.
6* FanNickname:
7** ''Medal of Honor: Doorfighter'', after Music/MiracleOfSound made a song called it in reference to Warfighter's rather thorough system (including various breach tools to unlock across the singleplayer campaign) to how you breach a door.
8* HarsherInHindsight: The ''Warfighter'' campaign takes place in the Philippines heavily flooded by a strong typhoon. The game was released a year before a real typhoon devastated the aforementioned country.
9* {{Narm}}: While, to be fair, "Warfighter" ''[[AluminumChristmasTrees is]]'' [[AluminumChristmasTrees a legitimate term for a soldier]], it's not exactly a ''common'' one. Without knowing that the name sounds like an absurd parody of Medal Of Honor played completely straight.
10* TearJerker:
11** ''Medal of Honor (2010)'''s [[spoiler: ending. Rabbit dying slowly. In first person view. While your comrades are trying desperately to keep you alive until the helicopter arrives.]]
12** In ''Warfighter'' [[spoiler:Preacher screaming in rage over Mother's death and also his funeral at the end]].
13* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Multiple reviewers have noted this regarding the pre-rendered cinematics by Creator/DigitalDomain in ''Warfighter''. Everything is incredibly photorealistic and could actually be mistaken for live-action... but the technology still can't get human faces quite right, and the result is incredibly jarring and unnerving. Preacher's wife and daughter get especially hit hard with this.
14* UnintentionallySympathetic: The enemies in ''Warfighter'' seem to be seriously outclassed at every turn by the protagonists. The robot sections in particular got a lot of people annoyed that we were supposed to be rooting for the gun-armed killdroid when the enemy's only defenses against it were small arms and rocks.
