This page is for the 2010 video game. For the first game in the franchise, see Medal of Honor (1999).
Medal of Honor is a video game developed by Danger Close (single player), DICE (mutiplayer), and published by Electronic Arts for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms. The game's storyline is set in the year 2002 during the first stages of the ongoing War in Afghanistan, where the player is controlling various characters of the U.S. Military's special operations units, called "Tier 1 Operators". The characters included are Chief Petty Officer "Rabbit" of AFO Neptune, assigned to DEVGRU, Specialist Dante Adams, assigned to the 1 Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, "Deuce" of AFO Wolfpack, assigned to the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, and Captain Brad "Hawk" Hawking, an Army AH-64 Apache gunner callsign "Gunfighter 0-6", assigned to the 1st Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment.
The single player part of the game correctly tracks the +1 round in the chamber and the fire-mode selector switch can be used on most of the weapons (the only exceptions are the Kalashnikov variants). In the multiplayer part the player's character does not chamber a new round on most of the weapons when both the magazine and chamber are empty, only simply swaps the magazines. The same "feature" can be seen in DICE's previous game; Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
The following weapons appear in the video game Medal of Honor:
The SIG-Sauer P226R is Rabbit's signature pistol. Its 9mm rounds are fed from Mec-Gar's 18-round flush fit magazines, giving it an 18+1 maximum capacity. Has unlimited ammunition.
A Glock 17 with a tan frame is Deuce's signature sidearm. 15+1 magazine capacity. While modeled after the Glock 17, the magazine capacity is that of a Glock 19, a weapon commonly carried by AFO personnel. Has unlimited ammunition.
In the single player campaign the Beretta M9 is Sgt. Dante Adams' signature sidearm, where it has the correct 15+1 magazine capacity. Just like the P226R and G17, it has unlimited ammo. The firing sound of the M9 in-game is the same as the Medal of Honor: Airborne's M1911A1.
The Beretta M9 is the standard Coalition sidearm in the multiplayer. It has the same (incorrect) 12-round magazine capacity as seen in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the hammer is never cocked, unlike the singleplayer.
The MP-443 "Grach" is the standard Taliban sidearm. Like the M9 in multiplayer, it has an incorrect 12-round magazine capacity as the real one is 17 bullets. Appears as the "Tariq", which is in reality, an Iraqi clone of the Beretta M951.
The H&K MP7A1 is used by Delta Force members Deuce, Dusty, Panther and Vegas during the Wolfpack missions. It's fitted with a Holographic sight, 40-round magazine and suppressor during the level Running With Wolves..., and appears without suppressor in Friends from Afar.
The MP7A1 is an unlockable weapon for Spec Ops troopers regardless of their faction. Seen with the stock extended and foregrip down, but oddly uses the pistol sights when no optic is attached. Its attachments are an EOTech or ACOG regardless of the player's faction. Available to those who have pre-ordered the game.
The P90TR (Triple Rail) appears only in the multiplayer part of the game, available as another alternate unlockable weapon to the Spec Ops class, regardless of faction. Referred to as "P90 PDW".
The M4A1 Carbine is the main weapon for the Tier 1 Operators and the Army Rangers in the game. The weapons appear to be fitted with EOTech 556 Holographic sights, AN/PEQ-2 laser designators, KAC QDSS-NT4 suppressors, RIS foregrips, and SureFire Universal WeaponLights. During the last two missions ACOG's are used instead of the Holographic Sights. Appears as "M4" but fires in full-auto and semi-auto, like the M4A1. It is worth noting that when the player switches fire modes, the player character visibly switches the fire selector to the correct position.
In multiplayer, the M4A1 is the standard weapon for the Coalition Special Ops class. It is fitted with a non-removable fore-grip. The carry handle can be changed to a Holographic sight or ACOG. The "stock barrel" can be fitted with either a laser sight or sound suppressor. It can also fire open-tip ammunition, which have increased damage.

Mk. 18 Mod 0
The second of two M4 variants featured in single-player is the Mark 18 Mod 0 carbine with RIS and foregrip. It is only seen used by Tier 1 Operators in the first level. Incorrectly appears as "M4 CQB-R" in the game.
The M16A4 is the standard weapon for Coalition Riflemen in multiplayer. It is always fitted with an M203 grenade launcher and incorrectly fires in fully automatic mode only. The M16A4 in the time of the game (2002) is inaccurate, as the M16A4 entered service in 2004.
The AKMs in single player can be composed of parts from other AKs used by former Eastern Bloc countries, including East Germany. The hand-guard, stock, and even the magazine's material can vary from weapon to weapon. Strangely, the selector does not work for these rifles.
In multiplayer the AKM is the standard weapon of the Taliban Riflemen. It is always fitted with a GP-25 grenade launcher. Can be customized with a red dot sight, combat scope, open-tip ammunition, suppressor and laser sight.
The AKMSU appears in the single-player campaign where it is erroneously called the "AKS-74U". Along with the various AKMs, this is the only weapon to lack a functional selector switch.
The AKS-74U with the the foregrip of a PA md. 86 is the standard weapon for the Taliban Special Ops class. Can be modified with Kobra red dot sight, suppressor, combat scope, LAM and open-tip ammunition.
The F2000 Tactical is an alternate unlockable weapon for the Rifleman class. Can be modified with Holographic sight (regardless of faction), ACOG, suppressor and open-tip ammo. It is always equipped with an FN GL-1 grenade launcher, which comes with three 40mm grenades.
The G3A3 can be seen in hands of Taliban and Chechen fighters in the single player campaign. Since Afghanistan shares a huge territorial borderline with Pakistan, it makes perfect sense some Pakistani Army G3's to have fallen to Taliban hands.
The G3A3 with a scope is an unlockable weapon in multiplayer. It is used by the Sniper class. The capacity is correctly 20 rounds and fires only in semi-automatic mode.
The Mk. 14 Mod 0 EBR fitted with ACOG is used by Rabbit of AFO Neptune in the game. Capable of semi-auto and full-auto fire modes, with full auto being extremely effective in certain points. Holds 20+1 rounds, and incorrectly appears as "M14 EBR" in the game.
The FN M249E3 SAW appears in single-player and multiplayer game modes and is fitted with the heat-shield of an Mk 46 Mod 0 in both.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingM249 SAW Paratrooper - this one features components of the Product Improvement Package (PIP), including the new telescoping stock, heat shield, and RIS handguard, and is also fitted with an ACOG scope and a 100-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag - 5.56x45mm
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The FN M249E3 SAW is used during the level Belly of the Beast by Specialist Dante Adams. In single-player, it is always used with a 200-round box magazine. Note that it is seen with an EOTech Holographic sight in trailers and promotional screenshots, but appears in the game with the M145 MG optic.
In MP it has 100-round capacity and appears simply as "M249". It is the alternate unlockable weapon for the Coalition Rifleman class, and later for the OpFor. Can be fitted with Holographic sight, ACOG, open-tip ammo and custom muzzle brake.
In multiplayer, this is the Coalition's equivalent of the RPK, but like the RPK, this weapon is only acquired through digital pre-orders of the PC version. Its custom version features a camouflage finish.
In multiplayer the PKM is the unlockable machine gun for the Taliban Rifleman class. Can be modified with muzzle brake, reflex scope, combat sight and open-tip ammunition.
The RPK is an alternate unlockable machine gun for Taliban riflemen, but this weapon is only acquired through digital pre-orders of the PC version. Holds 100 rounds, but is modeled with a 75-round drum mag. This weapon's second version is called "RPK (C)" (C for Custom) instead of "Veteran".
The M60E4 is the weapon of choice for Tier One Operator Voodoo. In Compromised, he dislocates his shoulder after a fall, and trades the M60E4 for Rabbit's M4A1 to continue fighting. That is the only the the M60E4 is usable in the single-player campaign.
A genuine SVD Dragunov appears in the single-player campaign, with its trademark PSO-1 scope. Has a 10+1 round capacity, and grants one shot kills, although its appearance in the game is very limited.
The Remington M24A3 SWS is available as an unlockable bolt-action sniper rifle for Coalition snipers. It can be modified with a High-Power Scope, Rangefinder or open-tip ammunition. The in-game version is the A3 variant, noted by the 5-round detachable box magazine.

Note the pulled back bolt, despite four rounds still being in the rifle. The bolt is always pulled back before swapping the magazines and pushed forward to "finish" the reload. That would eject the round from the chamber in real life, but not in this game.
Izhmash SV-98
The SV-98 is available as an unlock for Taliban Snipers. Its 10-round magazine is pinned to hold just 5 rounds to balance it with the M24.
The Barrett M107 is used by Deuce in both Wolfpack missions. The Barrett uses AN/PAS-13b Weapon Thermal Sight instead of a regular scope. The M107 has unlimited ammunition, but must be reloaded after every 10 shots. Although the rifle's designation is never mentioned or shown, at one point the "Eliminate Enemies with M82" objective appears, incorrectly identifying the weapon.
The KAC SR-25 erroneously appears as "M110" in the game, because the game takes place in 2002 and the M110 SASS was produced from 2008 onward. The SR-25 with tan paint scheme is used by both Dusty and Deuce in both Wolfpack missions.
The 870 featured in the Single-player portion is a customized MCS variant with a shorter barrel and shorter 5-round magazine tube (giving it 5+1 capacity), as well as an EOTech sight, a railed foregrp with rail covers and a breech-guard, and a Crane M4-type stock. Rabbit seems to be adept at using this to the point he can cycle through the ammo at a decent speed despite the weapon being pump-action. When reloading from empty, Rabbit will keep the action open, feed the first round through the chamber, close the action and then feed the remaining rounds through the loading gate.
The Multiplayer portion of the game features a full-size 870 variant, with a conventional shotgun stock, a shell holder on the left side and an 8-round capacity. Also available are various optics, and slug ammunition. Unlike its Battlefield: Bad Company counterpart (MP component of Medal of Honor 2010 uses the same engine as said series), the 870 now feature usable iron-sights/optics, as well as a faster pump animation when firing (your character keeps the weapon level when operating the action, rather than letting the weapon recoil back and slowing things down).
The TOZ-194 is an alternate unlockable weapon for the Taliban Special Ops class. Like the 870MCS, and unlike its Bad Company counterpart, the TOZ-194 now features usable iron-sights/optics, as well as a faster pump animation when firing (your character keeps the weapon level when operating the action, rather than letting the weapon recoil back and slowing things down).
The Benelli M4 (Super 90) Tactical is available only in the single-player. When reloading from empty, Adams will load the first shell directly into the chamber and then release the bolt handle. The remaining rounds are then quickly loaded via the loading port. Holds 6+1 shells, the capacity indicates it is using 3" Magnum rounds, normal 2 3/4" shells would give it a 7+1 capacity. Appears as "M1014", the Military designation for the Benelli M4.

Dante Adams engages the Taliban fighters with the GAU-17/A. After firing about 250 rounds the barrels overheat and the player must wait a few seconds, till the gun magically cools down. Other than that, it has unlimited ammo.
PKM
The PKM also appears on a bizarre monopod during the level Dorothy's a Bitch. The game refers to it simply as "MMG".
The General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger is mounted on A-10 Thunderbolt II jets. A-10's can be seen during the Bagram Airfield level.

The A-10 strafing run is one of the four armaments the player can use. The other three selectable weapons are: GBU-24 Paveway III bomb, AGM-144 Hellfire missile and Mark 84 general-purpose bomb.
M230 Chain Gun
During the mission "Gunfighters" the AH-64D Apache helicopters are armed with M230 Chain Guns. The M230 Chain Gun comes with an impressive load of 9,000 rounds. Other armaments include 308 Hydra 70 rockets and several AGM-114 Hellfire rockets. The latter can only be used against specific targets.

Bofors 40mm
Bofors 40mm L/60 cannons can be seen mounted on AC-130 Spooky II gunships.

Launchers
M136 AT4
The M136 AT4 is the default special weapon for the Coalition Special Ops class. Like in most video games, it is shown reloadable. Obviously, the reloading is done completely off-screen, possibly because the developers couldn't find any good video where this single-shot missile launcher is being reloaded.
The CM203, distinguishable by its squared off trigger guard and M16-style safety (both visible in the following screen capture), is mounted on Dante Adams' M4A1 in during final level of the SP campaign. Can also be seen on M4A1s in the hands of NPC Rangers at the start of both Belly of the Beast and the final SP level. The game incorrectly refers to it as "M203".

M203 grenade launcher
In MP, the authentic M203 grenade launcher appears on the M16A4 rifle. The player is limited to carrying 2 grenades.
The GL-1 grenade launcher can be found on the F2000 Tactical assault rifle in the multiplayer part of the game. Like the other UBGL's, it is a non-removable attachment.
The M67 hand grenade is the resident fragmentation grenade in both the SP and MP parts of game.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingM69 training grenade - an inert version of the M67 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade. The real live version has a more brownish color and has painted factory markings on the body.
In SP, the M18 smoke grenade is an NPC-only equipment. Voodoo of AFO Neptune uses a white smoke grenade to safely cross a yard in Breaking Bagram. Another smoke grenade is used by Sgt. Patterson to mark a DShK MMG in Rangers Lead The Way.

MULTIPLAYER:
The M18 smoke grenade is the standard smoke grenade that can be used in the multiplayer part of game. Coalition and Taliban Riflemen carry these in lieu of frag grenades.
The IED is the standard special weapon for Taliban Snipers. It is made of two mortars taped together with a cellphone and is detonated via a another cellphone.
