New Medal of Honor Trailer Leaves “A Message” in Your Mind
The keyword for the new Medal of Honor title is ‘authenticity’. Rather than having the main character survive a nuclear blast or racing around on snowmobiles, EA Los Angeles and DICE brought in 3 ‘Tier 1 Operators’ to assist with the development of the game to achieve the most realistic experience possible. The newest trailer, “Leave a Message” takes a different approach than most Military FPS have taken in the past and one word sums it up perfect: Powerful. If you’re a fan of the series or potentially a new one, you need to check out this trailer.
If you’re wondering why the soldier didn’t exactly tell his wife the truth, Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer for Medal of Honor explains why:
The actual phone message Jim leaves for his family back home changed after we showed it to one of our military consultants. When he first heard the message, he offered up a dose of reality. He explained to us that when you are deployed and in harm’s way, you tell your loved ones whatever they need to hear to keep them from worrying. Even when you are moments away from stepping outside the wire to conduct a raid or begin a major offensive, you never disclose anything. You assure them that you are fine and that you will be fine, knowing it will help them sleep at night. We let this information settle in for a few hours and then we rewrote the dialog to what you hear now.
See what I said about authenticity? Make sure you check out the trailer, “Leave A Message” and oh yeah, get this..the Multiplayer Beta is coming soon. Oh yeah. Remember how successful the Battlefield 2: Bad Company beta was on the PS3? I can only imagine how much Medal of Honor’s beta is going to kick ass.
Medal of Honor takes to the war to Afghanistan on October 12th in the US and October 15th in Europe.

While playing BFBC2 last night with a friend who just got back from Iraq he was explaining exactly this to me. In certain instances (depending on rank and deployment location), you are only allowed to tell your family where you are going, and no other details – it makes sense, its a matter of national security, as well as trying to have people worry as little as possible.
Well that is why I prefer not using or even having a Cell Phone. Most intelligence agencies around the world have access to technology that can intercept your calls and filter them for suspicious content. How do you think that they get incriminating evidence against terrorists.
And the Military is especially vulnerable to this technology because it can give an opposition force the information it would need to either avoid or counter actions taken by our men in Uniform.
I am looking forward to getting this game and into the beta like BFBC2 beta.
nice attention getter
@SPD55 – thats not really what I was referring to. Its more or less the idea that soldiers themselves could be leaking information by just being blabber mouths. For an example, see the man (forget his name) who was recently dishonorably discharged for publicizing on facebook a military operation that was about to occur. Facebook is about as public as it gets…
thats the best trailer ive seen in a long time.
This trailer is just amazing. It really pulls on yer heart strings. haven’t seen a teaser trailer this good in a long time
the picture at the top-
ZZ Top
im just sayin
Pretty good trailer.
wow SPD55 paranoid much? or do you have something to hide? I honestly wouldn’t care if someone was listening to me, it’s not like they can use the info against me for anything. People I don’t know can’t embarrass me and even people I do know would have hard time trying to. Get my point? I’m not saying I support the government’s right to do this sort of thing, I’m just saying there is no point in being bothered by it unless you want to hide something. You call it invasion of privacy, but your privacy can’t really be invaded if you don’t know when or if they are doing it. Kind of like if someone is a “peeping tom,” it’s hard to get upset about it if you never catch them, right?…
Anyway, I can’t wait for this game. Any competitors to Activision and Call of Duty are more than welcome.
Excellent trailer!!!!!
Great trailer, i might be checking this one out.
Wow what a great trailer.
And um…Jim Patterson? That was your character in the original Medal of Honor. Is this the grandson of the old Jimmy? I would really like that. Pays homage to the people who played and enjoyed Medal of Honor 11 years ago.
this looks sick, lets hope it doesnt dissapoint.
