There is no question that Call of Duty is the current undisputed king of the first-person shooters — and all games for that matter if you are count these things by sales figures – but there aren’t many franchises that can claim the same level of history that the Medal of Honor brand features.

Originally debuting in 1999, the WWII-themed series has influenced all first-person shooters in one form or another, but somewhere along the way the franchise lost its way. The property was shelved, and during its absence Call of Duty broke from its own WWII era mold with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and went on to create the first consistent billion dollar franchise.

Then in 2010 the brand made its return with a new, modern setting, and a multiplayer component designed by the DICE team, developers with a proven track record for multiplayer thanks to the Battlefield games. Of course, if you are even passingly familiar with the series you already know all that, just like you know that this Tuesday marks the release of the second Medal of Honor game set in modern times, Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

Can it topple the reigning king and surpass Call of Duty in sales? Maybe, maybe not, but even if it doesn’t touch the billion dollar milestone the game is almost certainly going to be a hit. So with that in mind, we offer you a quick preview of the 14th offering in the series, Medal of Honor: Warfighter.

Check back this week for our full review, but for now click the image below for all the Warfighter new you need to prepare for one of the year’s biggest releases.

PlayStation Plus’ most notable free April offerings come from Microsoft
Four players stand together in the 4v4 PvP mode of Minecraft Legends.

Sony outlined all the new offerings PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can expect in April; surprisingly, Microsoft is the company behind two of this month's four offerings, Minecraft Legends, and the Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle.

On April 2, PS Plus can get those two things free of charge in addition to Immortals of Aveum and Skul: The Hero Slayer. Immortals of Aveum is a single-player shooter where players use magic instead of weapons. Although the thing it's most notable for is flopping upon its release, Immortals of Aveum is still a solid shooter that you might have missed out on, and you should give it a shot now that you can get it through PS Plus. Meanwhile, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a tough 2D platformer roguelike that should entertain fans of that genre for quite some time.

Mecha Break’s robot customization shakes up the battle royale formula

Mecha Break isn't the kind of multiplayer game you can master right away.

You might equip a lance that you barely know how to use because it seemed like a good idea, and spend the rest of a round attempting to bash yourself into enemies to help your teammates. It incorporates action that's more similar to that of Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon than it is to the shooter-focused gameplay in Gundam Evolution, Bandai Namco's multiplayer mecha shooter that shut down last year. Overwatch does come to mind, but in a way where mechs are still the focus rather than the pilots within them.
