Tonight at the Spike TV Video Game awards we had a look at a trailer for the new Medal of Honor game from EA. The new installment in the series was announced last week.
About Medal of Honor
Medal of Honor is a modern military first person shooter from Electronic Arts being developed by both EA DICE and EALA. Medal of Honor is a “reboot” of the best selling Medal of Honor franchise that has until now been exclusive to the World War II setting. With more than a dozen titles in the franchise, across all gaming platforms, Medal of Honor is the first game that is not set during World War II. Set in modern day, war-torn Afghanistan players will take on the role of a soldier in the Tier 1 Operator which is group of highly trained military soldiers under the direct command of National Command Authority.
The single player and multiplayer modes will have separate development teams, with EA Los Angeles tackling the single player game and Battlefield series developer EA Dice taking on the multiplayer portion. As of the initial press release on December 2, 2010, Electronic Arts has set a target release date of sometime in the Fall of 2010. More information, screenshots and links will be posted as they are made available.
About the Footage:
It’s no secret that this game is looking to compete with Activision’s Call of Duty series, and the imagery in the trailer was more than a little bit familiar. One segment showed a black and white view in a gunship, then a night vision segment where the laser sight glows in the dark. There was also a section where players drive an ATV through the desert and have the ability to perform close quarters kills with a knife. The trailer closes out with players checking on a hostage tied to a chair and realizing that he’s wired with explosives. The hostage is kicked out of a window just as he explodes.
