Medal of Honor
« on: December 02, 2009, 04:09:01 PM »
New Medal of Honor promises 'most authentic modern war experience'



Shrugging off years of mediocrity and partially descriptive subtitles, EA's newly announced Medal of Honor reboot will thrust players into a modern milieu: Afghanistan. Set for release in 2010 on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the new first-person shooter follows the Tier 1 Operator, described as "a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle," and not described as an oddly militant member of ZZ Top. EA claims that "Tier 1 Operators from the US Special Operations Community" have been involved since the earliest stages of the game's development.

The publisher seems intent on throwing the gauntlet down in the modern war arena (do they still use gauntlets?), promising a "best-in-class single-player campaign" from the minds at EA Los Angeles, as well as a multiplayer component developed by the Battlefield veterans at DICE.

You can bear witness to the game's full unveiling during Spike TV's 2009 Video Game Awards on Saturday, December 12 at 8:00PM PT.

Mod War games too samey, says EA

Electronic Arts boss John Riccitiello has said the Modern Warfare games are all starting to look the same to him.

"If you've played Modern Warfare, and you've played the first one - and you've played the last Call of Duty - it's sort of starting to feel like they're making the same game again," he told Kotaku.

The silver-haired executive was keen to point out he thinks Infinity Ward "are great", adding, "It's not about them being bad for us having to be great too."

Riccitiello's comments came as EA announced a new Medal of Honor game, coming to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. He reckons the release could give EA the edge in the FPS genre.

"I'm not saying it's going to happen tomorrow," said the platinum-maned chief. "But in the way that Activision sort of alternates sequels of Modern Warfare and Call of Duty and owns the leadership position in first-person shooter, between Medal of Honor and Battlefield, I want it back. And we're going to get there with innovation and quality."

According to Riccitiello, the next Battlefield: Bad Company will be "a worthy competitor to Modern Warfare" - perhaps even good enough to beat it.

"We think we've got an advantage over Modern Warfare 2 with our multiplayer... Frankly, once you get past, sort of, four people on a map, I think our gameplay is better," he said.

Riccitiello cited being able to control vehicles rather than just ride them and take both buildings and their occupants out as highlights. "Personally I get a silly amount of pleasure out of it," he added.

Bad Company is awesome online, it's a shame we'll never play it on a friday. It's good to just blow up a house with a sniper in it, instead of having to sneak in the back and dodge claymores !

Pot & Kettle spring to mind and this from somebody at EA, the masters of making the same game again and again, priceless  :)

This makes sense however, i preferred Bad Company 1 to COD4, miles more to do and a lot more fun, Bad Company 2 is looking great at the moment too.

I like the picture. 'Most Authentic Modern Beard Experience', although it's gonna be hard to beat L4D2's DLC with the quartet of bearded rockers  ;D

That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard an industry professional say.  Modern Warfare games?  There are only 2.   :-[

That's like saying Gears 2 / Assassin's Creed 2 / [fill-in-the-blank] 2 look the same as their predecessor.  What a dummy.

First gameplay footage of Medal of Honor revealed

It's been a while since the Medal of Honor franchise has found its way on to store shelves, but we're interested for what the series will bring to the crowded realm of modern shooters. At tonight's 2009 Video Game Awards, the first footage of the recently revealed Medal of Honor impressed with solid visuals and a metric ton of explosions.

Not enough for you? The gameplay trailer concluded with one NPC kicking a booby trapped prisoner through a high rise window. Now we're not marketing pros, but that should be the first bullet point on the back of the game's box. Check out the trailer.

Medal Of Honor Will Be First M-Rated Game In The Series

Today EA decided to clear up some of the many fan questions about the Medal of Honor trailer that was aired at the Spike VGAs this weekend. For starters, executive producer Greg Goodrich stated that this will be a darker experience than previous MOH games.

"This will be the very first (M) rated Medal of Honor," Goodrich said. "However, we will always be grounded by our core tenets of authenticity and respect for the soldier."

He also confirmed that all of the footage in the trailer was from actual gameplay. Therefore, those shots of the player driving a helicopter and an ATV? You'll actually be doing that. "At minimum, you can expect the [vehicular gameplay sequences] that you saw in the trailer."

MOH is expected to hit the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in Fall 2010.

Damn right, just like Christmas wouldn't be the same without John McClane throwing Germans out of buildings, strangling Germans, shooting the sh*t out of Germans from under a table, breaking Germans necks while falling down stairs, you know what I mean?  ;D
