The next Medal of Honor game is coming this October.
According to the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, the game is called Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The sequel to the 2010 reboot is again being developed by Danger Close studios and follows the story of Tier 1 Operators. Multiplayer is being developed in house this time, not by DICE.
The game also uses the Frostbite 2.0 engine, the same engine that powered Battlefield 3.
EA will have more to show at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco next month. In the meantime, check out the new OXM for more details, interviews, and screenshots.
Medal of Honor had a great single-player campaign that focused more on intense firefights than Hollywood razzle-dazzle. It seemed authentic and respectable. It also controlled well and looked great on PC. I really loved sliding into cover, all shooters need it.
The multiplayer though, so bad. Glad Danger Close is doing it in house.
I wish they stuck with UE3 and developed the MP using UE3. Frostbite looks and runs pretty poorly on consoles.

:omg
The soundtrack, multiplayer, and the cut scenes were really bad, however.
Is anyone legitimately excited about this
I don't get it, I really don't
When I play these games I want to be joe bad ass. Not regular military grunt like the reboot was going for.
What if MoH had more big moments but wasn't insane like MW3. Would you like it better?
There will be a version exclusively for military members:

That sounds cool but how can they identify who is from the military and who is not (and never was)?
Also eBay.

Meh, I'll just join the army and get it for free.

:lol
so this is the Treyarch > IW thing then?Almost certainly although they've been on this path for awhile. Just substitute Bad Company for Battlefield. Battlefield 3 was such a big hit they are going to push forward on that brand for awhile it seems.
Danger Close does MoH one year
Dice does Battlefield the next?
Played it for a bit. There are some things I like and some things I don't like. Hard to put my finger on whether I like it or not overall until I put more time into it.
I like that its a bit more tactical than cod typically is. The speed seems about right. The gun play is average. It's not the worst gun play ever but its not the best either. The hit detection feels a little weird in that sometimes I can't tell if I'm hitting someone or not and sometimes I've been full blast pumping somebody with shots and they turn around and kill me like its nothing. The menus are really confusing at first both in game and out of game. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on in both cases. I like the buddy system. It seems smart. Probably because the map is a night map and I'm new to it but I have no idea where people are coming from when I'm defending or attacking a position. I don't quite understand how the spawns work once you move objectives although it seems pretty easy to get up into a team's spawn. I've accidently ended up in a team's spawn before and watch them spawn right in front of me to kill. I have a feeling much like the first this will draw a niche crowd as its fanbase. It's not crazy accessible like COD is nor does it seem to quite have that tactical depth of BF 3. It falls kind of into a weird no man's land. Although to be fair I need to put a lot more time into it. I do like it more than the 2010 game but that's also because I haven't been getting sniped every two seconds
Played for about 3 hours tonight with some guys in the platoon.
I like it... I mean there are a lot of things I don't like about it. The gun play is average compared to Battlefield which is much more of a science. The spawn camping can be a bit obnoxious. etc. But overall I enjoyed it in sort of a fast tactical way which was a surprise to me. The game can be played tactically with a group of like minded people and the different classes with their different special abilities is actually pretty cool. Like I was playing the class that has that wall hack ability for a second and its great for rooting out campers. I know some people won't like that ability but then I also don't especially like campers so it kind of balances out especially since their are killstreaks which notoriously encourage a camping style of play anyway. And the fire team stuff is actually pretty cool if you play with people who actually use the system properly.
I get why a lot of people wouldn't like it. Everything I said above in that other post still stands. I probably wouldn't have liked it as much if I wasn't playing with 5 other people on my team who were communicating. And it won't be as popular as Battlefield or COD. But unlike the first game I see the sort of in between niche this one fills more properly. It does kind of feel like a real in between game of COD & Battlefield. I don't know if there are alot of people who want such a thing but coming from a background of liking both, I actually kind of like the mix of both styles. It has some of the fun stuff of COD with killstreaks and smallish maps but it really can be played more tactically than COD is typically played. It doesn't have the highs of either of those two series which is going to turn off a lot of people but I do think its kind of unique in a weird and slightly interesting way.
I'll probably buy it.
I agree with you Stoney but the point is EA themselves always positioned MoH as the more "realistic", real world Tier-1 operations etc. game as opposed to fantasy land Call of Duty. And it kind of worked in MoH 2010.
this is for those of you that have Battlefield 3 Premium for pc.
https://offer.medalofhonor.com/index.php?lang=en (https://offer.medalofhonor.com/index.php?lang=en)
Once its authenticated that your account has premium you'll get a 50% off code good on origin for either of the two digital versions of the game.
I can't wait for tuesday, I thought the first MOH was a touching tribute to our soldiers and something special. Yeah the first was rough around the edges, but what it lacked it more than gained with its more realistic approach to the FPS genre.
been playing the multiplayer the last 3 days(PC), I fucking hate this game.
Game is getting roasted in reviews and its mostly deserved but what I think is really going on is reviewers sort of taking a stand (or getting on their soap boxes) on a genre they don't really like anymore.
I mean the reality is at this point 80% of the review in a military fps should be directed towards the mp side because that's why people buy these games. It's sort of silly to spend 90% of a review on a game like this on the campaign and very little on the mp which is not how the real world plays these games anymore. Reviewers don't represent the fps mp gaming public in that regard.
Even if the campaign sucks, that's not why people buy these games .

I wonder why they even bother with single player now in these games.
It feels sluggish, hip fire is not viable at all, the classes that run around with grenade launchers are fucking ridiculous (especially since the mp maps are mostly in confined spaces) interface isnt intuitive at all. Buddy spawn system sucks, although they dont let you spawn on your buddy when they are in "danger" you often find yourself being spawn fragged, ass long intervals between levels, shooting that doesnt feel satisfying, run button has a weird uneditable toggle like function, doesnt seem like playing tactically will get you far in this game.
Some other stuff too, but yeah hate this.

I think there is a more casual portion of the audience that does play and enjoy these sorts of campaigns. I think there is also a perceived value thing where some segment of the markets feels like they are getting more value for money with a true single player and multi-player component. And I think for some people its more fun to learn the mechanics of the game through a story interactive viewpoint rather than just bot matches mp style.
But yeah, ultimately I think a lot of companies are being shortsighted by not making truly mp only focused games.
Almost certainly Warfighter would have been reviewed better as a mp only title although they would have to drop the price to do that.
I guess Frostbite 2 really isn't an engine EA can have all their teams using.
BF3 SP had major issues. NFS: The Run game me trouble too. They probably should have stuck to Unreal Engine 3.
