Overview

Parachuting

One innovative feature in Airborne is parachuting. Before any mission starts, the player will jump out of an airplane several hundred feet above the ground. From there, they are free to land wherever they want on the battlefield, allowing the player to tackle the objectives in any order they like. The safe landing zones are denoted by a green smoke, and it is always recommended to land in such areas. These areas also have boxes of health, ammo, and explosives to stock up on, but they can only be used once. Land anywhere else and the player will likely be greeted by a horde of Nazi soldiers. The player can also strategically land on roofs in enemy territory to easily pick off enemy soldiers in the area.

Weapons & Upgrades

A large number of weapons are available in Airborne. The player starts out with a small selection of these weapons, and more can be unlocked by picking them up during missions. Before every mission the player is able to select the weapons they start with. This includes two primary weapons, a sidearm, and grenades, which the player can hold up to 21 of. There is also a performance stat system, that will keep track of all the kills, accuracy and other combat related statistics. When the player kills a set number of enemies with a weapon, they will be awarded a badge that signifies an upgrade for said weapon.

Each weapon, including grenades, have three badges to be awarded. The upgrades include reduced weapon recoil, higher zoom, faster reloading, higher ammo capacity and more. Furthermore, most upgrades will alter the weapons appearance. For example, when the Thompson receives the ammo capacity upgrade, the regular straight magazine is replaced with the iconic drum magazine. The single player campaign is overall 10-14 hrs long. Airborne's replay value is much higher than previous MOH games due to the ability to start levels almost anywhere on the map, and the ability to upgrade every weapon in the game.
