Medal of Honor is an upcoming first-person shooter video game in the Medal of Honor series, developed by EA Los Angeles and DICE, due for release on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010. The game will be a reboot of the series, set in modern-day Afghanistan. Medal of Honor's single-player campaign will use a heavily-modified version of Unreal Engine 3 and its multiplayer will use the Frostbite engine.
Medal of honor 2010 Gameplay Description:
Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators.
Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan.
The emphasis will be on realism, with EA going as far as to bring in consultants from the United States military. It is expected to include the kinds of objectives and tasks issued in real life such as raiding terrorist hideouts, hostage rescues and undercover operations. The single player is set to include some driveable vehicles such as helicopters, jeeps and a quad bike.
Medal of Honor 2010 News
Electronic Arts, the publisher of the Medal of Honor franchise, has announced that it is celebrating the launch of the new game in the series with a special edition linked with the PlayStation 3 home console from Sony. Those who pick up the fresh title will be able to also pick up Medal of Honor: Frontline, the 2002 videogame that launched the entire series. The package will be available to gamers on October 12, the same time as the versions for other platforms are out.
Medal of Honor: Frontline tells the story of a young soldier, Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson, who fights alongside his comrades on the Western front during World War II.
The main ingredients of the franchise were clearly visible and Electronic Arts is hoping that players will have a better appreciation of the 2010 Medal of Honor after seeing the game that started it all. Frontline has been reworked, complete with better control schemes and with High Definition graphics for its first appearance on the PlayStation 3.
Greg Goodrich, who is the executive producer working on the Medal of Honor project, said, “Medal of Honor has always been characterized by authenticity and reverence for the soldier. That sentiment has never been truer than it is today. Medal of Honor has had a long, dynamic history on PlayStation platforms. We are excited to continue that tradition today with this special edition of Medal of Honor that pays homage to the legacy of the franchise on this platform.”
At E3, Electronic Arts also announced that Medal of Honor would be entering a beta stage on June 21, set to show off the multiplayer element of the first person shooter while allowing developers to get feedback from gamers. Those who are VIP owners of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and have also put down a pre-order for Medal of Honor will be able to get into the multiplayer beta as early as June 17.
------------
Electronic Arts has great hopes for the new Medal of Honor. The series was seen as inferior in its depiction of World War II when compared with Call of Duty, although the last release before a long hiatus, Airborne, had some interesting gameplay ideas. By moving to modern times and building a single player story linked to a small number of Tier 1 Operators working in Afghanistan, EA is positioning its title as a direct competitor to the new Call of Duty, which is heading to Vietnam, and to SOCOM 4 from Zipper.
The October 12 launch date is a gamble for the publisher. It virtually guarantees Medal of Honor will dominate the videogame space for about one month but it also allows Call of Duty: Black Ops to position itself to dominate the period from the first days of November to the end of 2010. It will be exciting to see how this shooter war plays out in the coming months.
