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.

It is but then Graw was advanced Warfighter but nobody ever called it that.

I didn't like the first one at all. Not the SP. Not the MP. And I'm a shooter dude.

They would have to have a shocking leap in quality for me even to consider.

Well, you know sometimes you feel like being an Advanced Warfighter and sometimes you just want to be a regular-ass Warfighter. We have games that cater to all diverse aspects of the warfighting genre.

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.

Well, fuck consoles then.

MOH

frostbite 2.0

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #8 on:** February 23, 2012, 09:09:58 PM »

The one positive I will say is keeping the MP in house. Farming it out was a nightmare in the last version.

EA is getting behind frostbite. Need for Speed last year used it, that command and conquer bioware game is using it, and now this.

But not Mirror's Edge 2

and I liked Medal of Honor for what it was. The leaning system and clicking in the right stick quickly firing your pistol when you're out of melee range were smart and hopefully brought back.

There is always an audience for a military shooter and some people liked the tone of Medal of Honor. To each his own.

I didn't like the tone. When I play these games I want to be joe bad ass. Not regular military grunt like the reboot was going for. Not to mention I thought every scenario was a take off on something done in a cod level but worse and with poor scripting. I think something like the last operation flashpoint game did a much better job of it and actually being different if that's what somebody truly said they wanted. But that first medal of honor was a pure clone and didn't do anything different from the gameplay side. Not to mention the real reason to play any of these games is the mp. If you're not into the mp side, it personally baffles me that anybody would be into the genre. But once again to each his own.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #18 on:** February 25, 2012, 01:19:25 PM »

How about this. I don't want to be a boring dude doing boring stuff. COD is an action movie comic book fantasy. I prefer that approach to actually pretending I'm a military solider like Medal of Honor did. And even if I did want to pretend to be in some faux realistic army I think Flashpoint did a better job of it than Medal of Honor. A lot of people on GAF liked the tone of MOH because it was more "realistic". That's not a plus in my book if you don't alter the gameplay or make it better. And that's just the SP side. The MP side had its own litany of problems although like I said bringing it in house is the right move.

What if MoH had more big moments but wasn't insane like MW3. Would you like it better?

My personal thing is when I'm playing these kind of games I want it to be over the top and crazy fun. However you achieve that is probably fine but one thing I don't necessarily need is the game to be grounded. I didn't hate MOH. I just thought it was average in the context of these games. The problem is nobody has proven they can outcod cod. So they do the cod formula but they don't do it as well. Either you have to outcod cod or you have to take a really different approach.

That's the real opportunity imo that something like MOH should do or any competing military shooter. Don't fight a losing battle on cod's territory. Stake out your territory. Not just in slight tonal shifts but in actual gameplay shifts where it counts.

I have to admit I liked the single player more than I should have probably. This looks like more of the same hopefully?

No idea how they could pull it off in todays market but I wouldn't mind if EA did MoH as single player, BF as multiplayer and staggered them.

I'm wondering how long it'll take for all these free-to-play shooters and the like that are mushrooming these days to finally kill off everything but the top-tier multiplayer components of single player games. COD and Battlefield can survive, multiplayer in Spec Ops and turkeys like Inversion should probably go away.

I think the mp trailer looks interesting but like any trailer cut in a cinematic style its hard to gather any actual significant impressions. The only reason in the world I would pick this up is if the mp is decent. No interest in the SP.

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.

Surprisingly I kind of like it.

I'm not sure if that's because my expectations were so low after the last awful game that it just being competent is now refreshing but I had some fun with it. That being said I was playing with 5 other people in my battlefield clan so maybe that had something to do with my increased enjoyment of it.

It does have issues. The spawn camping can be bad at times. (But better than it was in the prior game.)
The menu system both in game and out of game is baffling at first and clunky even when you get use to it.
The gun play is average. Not as good as battlefield or Cod. But ultimately I enjoyed myself while playing it which is sort of what matters most. I'll just post what I posted on my clan's forums.

This is what I posted after about 3 or 4 games.

Quote

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

And this is what I posted after 3 hours or so of playing.

Quote

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.

Browsing through the GAF impressions thread they seem to hate it. So opinions and all that. Take mine with a grain of salt.

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.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #44 on:** October 22, 2012, 06:03:47 PM »

Just speaking for me but I could give two craps about realistic. I respect that a certain segment found the original to be immersive but I didn't. So as long as its fun I don't really care about the faux realism in a game like this. The problem for me was I didn't find the actual missions or combat that entertaining.

But honestly it doesn't matter. The only reason I would spend money on a military shooter is for the mp. Not a 4 to 6 hour campaign. At least at full price. I'll wait for some impressions on the mp. I thought the beta was both kinda fucked up and kinda interesting all at the same time. I wanna see what some people I trust say about the full mp before I buy.

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.

I would say worked is relative. The original sold relatively well of the gate but the mp community died almost immediately and it was reviewed pretty poorly hence why they didn't send this one to a lot of early reviewers. But like I said if an individual liked what they did in the first then I can't really argue with that. Everybody has a different take on that stuff.

What's weird is that on PC at least it actually dumps you back to the desktop and then reloads the game as if it's loading a completely different executable or something when it loads that level. I think because either Criterion or Blackbox did the driving section.

I've played enough of it in single player to come to the same conclusion that I felt about the first game. It's just not exciting enough or inventive enough with the typical COD tropes its pulling from gameplay wise to really distinguish itself. This one seems similar in tone and even story construction so far to the battlefield 3 campaign which is not a compliment. Once again COD has nothing to worry about in this category.

I'll dig into the multiplayer tomorrow as I want to warm back up on PC controls via the single player since that's normally not my typical platform for competitive. One thing I will say that in both single player and multiplayer the guns have a lot of recoil. And its like recoil that feels different from battlefield recoil where you can just pull in the opposite direction to control the recoil. I can't seem to control it. I just have to burst fire to control it. Not saying that's a bad thing. Just that it's different from most mainstream shooters where it feels like the guns practically never have any recoil. Or maybe I'm just sucking. That's a possibility too.

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 .

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.
