EA GOES TO WAR WITH ALL-New ‘Medal of Honor’
​

EA Reinvents Franchise with New Development Teams, New Soldier, New Setting

LOS ANGELES, California – December 2, 2009 – Medal of Honor™ returns to the front lines, this time in today’s war. For the first time in the franchise’s 10-year history, Medal of Honor is leaving the WWII theatre and putting players in war-torn Afghanistan. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed that in 2010, Medal of Honor, an all-new first-person shooter game, will introduce the Tier 1 Operator: a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle. The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience. Medal of Honor depicts modern military operations through the lens of a small band of fictional characters. Inspired by real events, Medal of Honor reveals the mission of today’s most elite American soldier – his will, his mindset and his uncompromising professionalism.

Medal of Honor is being built with a best-in-class single-player campaign. The Medal of Honor development team at EALA has been hand-selected by the studio leadership of General Manager Sean Decker, Executive Producer Greg Goodrich and Senior Creative Director Rich Farrelly. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise at EA DICE. This team will develop the multiplayer experience of Medal of Honor. These two studios are coming together to deliver a world-class Medal of Honor that is poised to re-set the franchise for a new generation.

About time EA realized it. CoD has a competitor. Well, atleast Treyarch's Cod has a competitor. EA LA is no Infinity Ward but still modern MOH is welcome.

sounds good

I am actually anxious to see what EA has up in their sleeves against the Modern Warfare franchise. They've already ripped off the setting of the game from IW, lets hope they don't completely rip off the gameplay as well.

 

[Gizmo]

This sounds interesting, I'm eager to see how well it matches up against Call of duty.

 

[Necrokiller]

Yesss....another war game. Can't have enough of those

It'll be too damn tough to counter what COD has established all this time. And what the hell is up with that 'bad-ass' soldier?

 

[GoldenHawk]

New MOH that promises 'Most authentic modern war experience' i've always been more of a COD fan than of MOH but this game does look good can't wait for its full unveiling at the VGA.

 

[USUF]

@ Necro, Nothings beats a bearded dude wearing black shades and holding an M4

 

[popo]

hmmmmmmmm......thats some news...but competition with CoD:MW is kinda risky...
well i can expect huge things from EA but MW series has put the level for war games very high...
if there is a MW3 in 2010 than EA should release the game after that...

 

[amaga]

after mw2,who want moha now?^_^

 

[Soulhunter]

just what i wanted MOH revival

 

[VehsheeBanda]

Well i hope itz good not as BOORING as 'airborne'..............
modern war experience hmmm sounds interestin!!!!!!!

 

[XecutionerX]

bring it on!!!

modern is the way to go!...

 

[Chandoo]

totally didn't see this one coming

[/sarcasm]

 

[SolitarySoldier]

Never played any MOH game. Don't know what to expect but something as good as COD would be enough.

 

[USUF]

^ The best MOH game there ever was was "Allied Assault"...Speaking about the campaign here..

 

[Chandoo]

Frontlines (the first PS2/xbox one) is still the best one imo, Allied Assault is a very close second, after that the series pretty much went to the shitters with the arrival of COD2 onwards.

 

[SolitarySoldier]

I always picked COD over MOH. Now can't return to PS2 Gaming. They must do something like COD:WaW. It was a brilliant, infact the best WWII game for me.

some infoz from the official website


Info from the website:

- Fall 2010
- You play dude on the cover
- Takes place in Kabul

Quote:

Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators.

Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan.

There is a new enemy. There is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.

But for now, it is based on modern wars not the old ones
I expect some tough competition between the two games .... ! Or it would be a decent or even an epic fail game

 

[sliyk]

EA finally bit the dust and took moh out of ww2
well since theyre putting them in afghanistan theyre gonna be killing muslims, i wonder how many people will actually feel bad about that...
