Medal of Honor Reboot Goes Modern
EA Goes to War With All-New ‘Medal of Honor’
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. 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. 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.
“When we first set out to reinvent Medal of Honor, we wanted to stay true to its roots of authenticity and respect for the soldier but bring it into today’s war. The Tier 1 Operator is the most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield. He is a living, breathing, precision instrument of war,” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, Medal of Honor. “We are honored to have the rare opportunity to work closely with these men to create a game that shares their experience.”
“EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers’ story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today’s war and today’s elite soldiers via today’s most relevant medium – videogames,” said Sean Decker, VP and General Manager of EALA. “We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre.”

lets see what they can do, they need to work hard to compete with the best game Modern Warfare 2
I heard about this a while ago when it was pretty well a rumour I think, and i’m enjoying the description so far, DICE is gonna have a good year with bad company 2 and hopefully this.
Why another Online FPS military style shooter. It seems that there are one two many from the same company. It will be a remake of BFBC2 on the multi-player side with new skins on the MoH series. Plus wasn’t there a game scheduled to release about the Iraq war/conflict. And it was seen as to close to the truth. So what makes this one any different? I remember that the MoH series was the premiere series on the PC so let’s see what they can do with the PS3, use the PS3 for your lead platform, because if it is just another port of a least common denominator game, then it will fail.
Well the best game has yet to be released yet. Zipper is still working on it.
I will check this out for sure. MW2 is good at multiplayer, but the campaign is lacking. Ive always like MOH Campaigns the best, yes even airborne was great!
Ahhh!!! Noooo!! I want Korea or the Spanish Civil War!!!
sigh…. when in doubt, follow MW2′s success…
