Modern Medal of Honor confirmed. Guess who develops the multiplayer!

DICE8)

EA has officially announced the new Medal of Honor game for release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2010.

Simply called "Medal of Honor", the game is set in present-day Afghanistan and focuses on Tier 1 Operators - super army soldiers, in other words - who get involved in situations all around the world.

"The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the US Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience," EA said in a press release.

While EALA works to create a "best-in-class" single-player campaign, EA DICE will work on multiplayer.

Man, I'm already hyped about BC2. Now I have another Medal of Honor game to look forward to?

I'll be following this with modest anticipation... :shock:

EA's doing good nowadays..NoctisCaelum52

I still don't like how they're handling the Sims or Command & Conquer, though... DICE seems to be on a roll, though.

God damn. In how many games is Dice working on? There is BF bad company 2, BF1943 pc version, Battlefield 3 ( give me this and i could care less about the others), Now medal of honour and a rumor that mirrors edge 2 is also on the worksadamosmaki

cool except the part its on ps3 and 360, means the game will probably be held back from its true potential.Dr_Brocoli

I will admit, besides COD2, Medal of Honor: allied Assualt was one of my favorite games to play. That game , to me, was perfect. The online was so much fun, and I even liked it more than CoD2. We def need more modern day shooters like BC2 and BF3. Another modern day MoH wouldn't hurt either. Considering Activision will be turning the Call of duty series into a Guitar Hero game, (new COD already coming next year), we will need more quality games from other developers.

Great news, two great developers coming together on this one.

They're clearly trying to do the same thing activision did with Call of Duty, especially so soon after MW2 was so succesfull. And I don't even like the new CoD's, but this is just obvious.

Sounds like it's a sound business decision on their part.

And didn't CoD originally copy MoH, not sure about the history there but that is what I seem to remember. So it seems only fair that MoH return the favor.

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="fudgeblood"] Thank you for telling me everything I already knew, I appreciate it.

Me and 90% of the gaming population think that. Its common sense and a very obvious assumption for one to make.

Of course it is, a sound decision. They will sell what sells well. Cod4 and modern war games sell, they will make a modern war game with casual game play and console focused development. If that wasn't the case, then they would make another ww2 game like BIA hells highway from gearbox (which by the way did not seem to realize that a game like that wont sell well. Which it didn't)

I wish they would just stick to WWII. Airborne wasn't that bad - though it could have had a little more polish.

I am looking forward to this game already.

[QUOTE="Gooeykat"][QUOTE="dakan45"] I guess you can believe that the fact that after Moh airborne, the developers decided to go into modern warfare and not make another WW2 game, Which is something that did not happened because of the success of their competitor war game series being taken into modern era!! However by looking at BIA hells highway and cod WAW. I would say that the only reason moh is going into modern era is the success of cod4.dakan45

Of course it is, a sound decision.

[QUOTE="dakan45"]

[QUOTE="fudgeblood"] Because you were the only person to say they were copying Call of Duty? And I never made you type those things, you posted that out of your own free will.cluclap

Great newsI hope it will be a great game, medal of Honor:allied assault was master peace better than the first call od duty IMO.

Just curious, but which game did IW release that had a modern day war theme before Battlefield 2?

edit: sorry that was sarcasm I guess.

Thank god, something to free us from the Activision-infinity ward dictatorship! EA + Dice is a good combo...

Sorry but screw buying another multi-platform FPS I'm so sick of them. They're all the same crap now, you know it's going to get an 8.5 rating, good but same old same old.

Oh come on, don't be so cynic.

I'm disappointed with this leap to modern combat. There are other conflicts since WW2 that could have been explored before switching to modern day theatres. And in my view, it is modern combat that has already been done to death, with a variety of franchises. Just check the Gamespot database, and you'll find there are almost twice as many modern combat shooters as WW2 shooters. So this is not a setting that has been under-exploited in any fashion - and there are plenty of other franchises out there already offering modern combat, both now and in the future.

So in those terms, I think this is very much a 'cash-in' to the popularity of CoD:MW, and there is a real danger that they simply won't hit the mark and become yet another 'also-ran'.

But it doesn't really make sense to me for a new MoH game to actively compete with the Battlefield series anyway, particularly BC2 which will have a single player campaign. And then have DICE do the multiplayer - so they are even competing with their own franchise? That just seems kind of screwy to me, and leads to a conflict of interest. Are DICE really going to give 100 per cent effort to MoH's MP and make it better than their own Battlefield games? That would be suicide - so unless MOH will offer something completely different for multiplayer, it's just not going to stack up to the BF series, and is therefore essentially pointless.

I guess we need a lot more information about what this new MoH game will entail, but from where I'm sitting EA is essentially competing with itself. And that's just plain daft.

It's based on real operations and they've worked with people that fought there. I wouldn't be surprised if it's going to be closer to Dragon Rising than to MW2.

and yet you clearly play the hell out of WOW.... which hasnt had a new or original thought in its head since the games initial launch. from where im sitting, it appears that you LIKE "all the same crap"..... i swear blizzard meetings for WOW consist of this:

" OK guys, how can we rehash content so we dont have to spend anything and yet make it seem new to the players?"

"lets do a new tier of armor... we will call it tier 42!"

"GENIUUUUS! and while we are at it lets just recolor old models/textures so we dont even have to design anything new!"

"AND we can bring back Onyxia! because players didnt have enough of killing her at lvl 60! 500 kills on her isnt NEARLY enough time for us to milk subs out of people, they need to have to put in atleast 1K kills"

"EXCELLENT! DONE! now lets all go count our billions in Tahiti...."

conversation over.

If they did choose to make it more 'tactical' and 'realistic', that would make it more of a niche title, and there are already quite a few games offering that kind of experience, including the Operation Flashpoints, ArmA series, America's Army series, and to a lesser extent the Ghost Recon franchise.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see them make a successful reboot of the MoH franchise, because I liked MoH: Allied Assault, MoH: Pacific Assault, and even a couple of the console titles. The demo for MoH: Airborne put me off, because it seemed like a one-trick pony with the 'land anywhere and fight', and tbh the blurring and motion effects they used in that game made my eyes go funny. Games don't usually affect me in that way, but MoH:A did.

Nevertheless, I'll be tracking this new game just to see what it entails. But I still think using DICE for the MP is a mistake.

I'm definitely looking forward to this. it's not likely that it will be a realistic military shooter, but collaboration with real operatives will hopefully ensure an experience faithful to the actual conflict in Afghanistan. DICE's involvement is also a good news - but please, no jets.
