Medal of Honor: Warfighter

[sambo]

A pair of job listings on Gamasutra indicate that Medal of Honor developers Danger Close are on a hiring spree for their next project.

The job listings request people to work on an "unannounced AAA first person shooter title" that is "early in development". Specifically, they're looking for a Senior Gameplay Engineer and a Weapon and Vehicle Artist.

There's no reason why this couldn't be Medal of Honor 2. EA spent a lot of money rebooting the franchise in an attempt to combat Call of Duty. While it may not have worked, the game still sold over 2 million copies worldwide so the risk involved in a sequel would be minimal.

You never know, though; Danger Close and EA could surprise us with a new IP. With the game being early in development it's unlikely we'll hear about it for a while. Regardless, it's nice to see studios staffing up rather than closing shop.

Very true.

EA teases "very exciting" new FPS

EA will release a "very exciting" as-yet unannounced FPS before the end of 2011, according to CEO John Riccitiello.

The EA boss made the announcement while answering a question from an investor regarding the future of the Medal of Honor franchise during an earnings call today.

"The intention for us is to have strong FPS entries each year," he explained.

"I don't want to give away the thunder from our call but for quite a long time now I've been saying it's our long term goal to take back the first person shooter category leadership.

"We've made strong progress in calendar '10 over calendar '09. This year, with the tail-end of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 still doing well and Medal of Honor still doing well... with Crysis and Bulletstorm we're clearly going to make more progress towards our goal and that's before we get to what I think is going to be a very exciting entry later in the year that we're not yet announcing."

Of course, he could be referring to Battlefield 3, widely expected to launch this year – though that was officially announced in August last year and has been talked-up by Riccitiello since.

Failing that, we're left with either a second bite of the cherry from the new look Medal of Honor series or a brand new franchise. Place your bets.

Medal of Honor Sequel Incoming, Details Soon

EA has announced that it will unveil a new Medal of Honor title next month.

Invites have been sent to various outlets for an event on Tuesday, March 6th, the week of the Game Developer’s Conference. The big announcement looks set to happen at 20:00 PST.

It’s no surprise. EA has absolutely no secret about the fact that it’s working on a sequel, but nothing is known about the contents of the actual game.

“We expected more and for the next outing, Danger Close and co. are going to have to up their game significantly,” said Dan in our review of 2010’s Medal of Honor reboot.

Let’s hope they have. We’ll get some indication on March 6th.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter Revealed, Hits in October

The next Medal of Honor game will be called Warfighter, will not have DICE-developed multiplayer and will ship in October.

As with Medal of Honor (2010), the game will be developed by Danger Close, using DICE’s Frostbite 2.0 engine. However, unlike the previous game, Danger Close will be doing their own multiplayer.

Beyond the fact that the game will follow Tier 1 operatives, however, we know little else. OXM has screens, details and interviews in its next issue and a proper unveiling is scheduled for GDC in a couple of weeks. So expect more then.

In the meantime, what do you make of Warfighter as a title? No-nonsense and straight to the point, or the dumbest, least imaginative title ever?

Looks pretty the Frostbite engine working well but to be honest am getting fatigued by all these shooters if you just looked at  the trailer you'd be hard pressed to tell if it was battlefield or MW nevermind MOH
