EA has today announced the latest incarnation of their Medal of Honor™ series. For the first time in the franchise’s 10-year run, Medal of Honor will focus on a theatre of war other than WWII, namely Afghanistan. The all-new FPS will introduce the Tier 1 Operator, a secretive entity working under the auspices of the National Command Authority who undertake missions that no one else wants to deal with. The game’s developers have been closely liaising with actual Tier 1 Operators from the US Special Operations Community to ensure that they bring the most authentic modern war experience possible to the series (I hear that’s worked well for another popular franchise!). The game has been inspired by real events, and aims to focus on the will, mindset and professionalism of the modern-day elite soldier.
Both single- and multiplayer campaigns are currently in development .
“When we first set out to reinvent Medal of Honor, we wanted to stay true to its roots of authenticity and respect for the soldier but bring it into today’s war. The Tier 1 Operator is the most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield. He is a living, breathing, precision instrument of war,” said Greg Goodrich, executive producer, Medal of Honor. “We are honored to have the rare opportunity to work closely with these men to create a game that shares their experience.”
Spike TV’s 2009 Video Game Awards show on 12th December will have a world-premier first look at the latest Medal of Honor game.
