EA is shutting down its servers for a bunch of old Xbox 360 titles, including three Medal of Honor games, so achievement hunters need to act fast.
The Medal of Honor franchise is just a shadow of its former self now, and it’s been that way for over a decade. But back during the sixth generation of consoles, Medal of Honor ruled over the military shooter genre, long before Battlefield and Call of Duty would take the industry by storm. Starting with the Steven Spielberg-funded Medal of Honor on the original PlayStation, the franchise only continued to grow in the early 2000s, with titles like Medal of Honor: Rising Sun and Medal of Honor: Frontline propelling the franchise into the mainstream. But thanks to a lackluster reboot in 2010, and the disappointing sequel that followed it, the Medal of Honor franchise has faded into obscurity, though that doesn’t mean it still doesn’t have its fans.
Despite the Medal of Honor franchise fading into the background in recent years, a small hardcore fan-base is still active, and unfortunately for them, EA is shutting down the online servers of some titles that have remained active for years. But there’s still time for players to grab the online achievements that they might be missing before the servers are shut down for good, and the achievements are locked forever.

Rather surprisingly, 2007’s Medal of Honor: Airborne actually has the most difficult achievement list of the bunch. Medal of Honor: Airborne not only has a good few time-consuming achievements, but it also has some pretty tricky-to-obtain ones. For instance, killing an enemy player with a grenade while they’re parachuting can be very difficult to pull off. Coming first place on every map in ranked matches can also be an arduous task, with players not being able to cheese the achievement in player matches. But with enough persistence and determination, players should be able to unlock all of Medal of Honor: Airborne‘s online achievements before EA shuts down the servers in February 2023.

Medal of Honor 2011’s achievement list may just be the easiest of the bunch. While there are some outliers in the mix, the Medal of Honor‘s online achievements are very straightforward, and take very little time to obtain. By simply playing all the game modes for a few hours each, players will likely automatically unlock the vast majority of achievements, making it very easy to clean up afterward.
All of Medal of Honor: Warfighter’s Online Achievements

Though it may have the least amount of multiplayer achievements out of the three, Medal of Honor Warfighter might still set players back a good few hours. While most of its achievements are extremely simple, there is a handful that are also very time-consuming. Unlocking a soldier from each unit, for instance, can take quite a bit of time, and on top of that, it’s a notoriously buggy achievement with the only workaround being deleting the player’s EA account. Another big issue with getting the online achievements for Medal of Honor: Warfighter is that the game has the lowest player-count of the three, making it extremely difficult to find matches. The best way to grab all of these Medal of Honor achievements is by getting a large group together for an extended session.
