Medal of Honor May Hit the PS3 Earlier than Release
The Medal of Honor series has long used the WWII setting as its basis for the environment and story behind the games. However, the newest Medal of Honor game, is ditching WWII and going modern. No doubt trying to try the same formula that catapulted Call of Duty 4 : Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 to superstar status. In a recent interview, an executive producer behind the game hinted towards an exciting stage EA may try in the development process.
When asked about the possibility of a multiplayer beta, executive producer Greg Goodrich said the following:
We’ve not decided on any specifics yet. But it would certainly make sense for us to repeat the things that have worked in the past.
While this is not a definitive announcement, it certainly gets us here at PlayStation LifeStyle excited. Sure, the Medal of Honor series has not been up-to-par as of late, but the early games were some of the best shooters on the PS2, and for a good time, surpassed any Call of Duty game that came its way.

Let me in that Beta is all I”m saying. I don’t care if it’s only on PC.
better not be for pc
I wish this game success, but I won’t be buying it. MAG for me.
Xael you hit it right on the nose. MAG all the way. NO DOUBT!!!
Although I am getting MAG but if the MoH has a good single player story line then I would be in for it… Military FPS online Multi-player games have been milked for all that they are worth and MAG will put the nail in the coffin so no other online offering will stack up to it.
They should go back to Single Player as the primary game-play and add online as a separate option or make it more like Operation Flash Point with AI squad-mates even online. Or make a variable size of Co-Op missions so that no matter how many people in your squad you could still play a game.
So, Xael and xtigerz, what you’re saying is that you won’t be ready for a new game yet after 6-8 months of playing MAG?? If the games were coming out at the same time I can see making a choice between the two, but when they aren’t that statement is just ridiculous. That’s like the same people who said they would pass on the latest Need For Speed and wait for Gran Turismo…you can’t play a racing game in between now and GT’s release??? Give me a break people. Don’t try to make money an excuse either because we all know you can sell games Used on eBay for a good price these days, that’s how I get to buy as many games as I do.

I’m not going to use money as an excuse not to buy it. I did an estimate and I will roughly spend +300 dollars on gaming next year, I have the money.
If a game is good it will have a long gaming life, also especially if the online community is good, I’m still playing SFIV and the game released early Feb.
SPD55 has an outstanding point. Once MAG releases it will pretty much cap the multiplayer functionability with FPS’s. So now they will be forced to concentrate on the single player or be left to add to the stockpile of cliched FPS games.
I don’t have too much time on my hands to play all these great 3rd party games and Sony’s 1st party line up is strong enough to hold me over in ALMOST every genre. Demon Souls will hold me over until FFXIII, getting that 10,000 kills trophy on Resistance 2 will hold me over until MAG comes out. Trust me bro, I’ve exhausted my fandom over a genre before. The Fighting game genre, during the PS2 days I’ve bought and Soul Calibur II, Virtua Fighter IV, Tekken 4, Guilty Gear X2, Capcom VS SNK 2. It didn’t take long for me to realize that it was just too much to keep up with every character I wanted to be good with, and memorize their moves and play styles, and then tactics against other character, and then to keep up with how the play styles vary from game to game.
It was daunting to keep up, and while not all genre’s demand such level of attentiveness, it’s useless to buy a game that will only serve as a quick fix until the release of your personal anticipated game. This new Medal of Honor will serve just that purpose, I’m not going to be surprised if the campaign will be 5-6hours, while most of the focus will be on the Multiplayer. So now it brings us right back to why I made such a statement to begin with. Why get this game, when MAG is going to top the Multiplayer 100fold? I’ll just be wasting 60dollars. Besides I have plenty of games I can be playing that will hold me over for other games I’m awaiting to be released.
I can be playing MAG until ModNation Racers come out
I can be playing ModNation Racers until Heavy Rain comes out
I can be playing Heavy Rain until Super Street Fighter IV comes out
I can be playing Super Street Fighter IV until God of War III comes out
I can be playing God of War III until Final Fantasy XIII comes out
If FPS’s have been milked to death, you can say the same about every rpg, third person shooter, racing…etc etc, right? WRONG! Just because Tomb Raider was/has been done to death, does that mean that the Uncharted series should never have existed? No, right? Cuz they are thoroughly enjoyable games even though the genre has been done many, many times before.
Im kinda looking forward to this game. Im always up for a good fps as long as its done well.
