A lot of people sacrificed the sizeable 1.2Gb single player MOH: Airborne demo when it was unleashed a few weeks ago and were left suitably impressed, if not disappointed that the demo cuts the mission short before you get to fight the Germans. Probably the most annoying part of your single player experience will be going through that mission again but we’re getting ahead of ourselves and I’ll get to that eventually.

The single player campaign in MOH: Airborne is broken up into 7 different operations: Training, Husky, Avalanche, Neptune, Market Garden, Varsity and Der Flakturm. The game is nice enough to auto-save at every checkpoint you reach, the only issue you might have is the following; say you complete the game on easy and want to try it at the normal level. While you unlocked every mission by playing it on Easy, as soon as you choose to have a go at the Normal level, all your checkpoint saves from the Easy campaign are erased so you’ll have to soldier on and get the job done all over again. It’s just one of those little things. Starting a campaign kicks off with initial training
