Over the years there have been many different first person shooter franchises some leaving more of an impact than others. Call of Duty and Halo are prime examples of FPS franchises that have been around for about a decade and still managing to put up high sales numbers. Medal of Honor, on the other hand, is a similar franchise that’s been around since 1999 and will forever be remembered as an iconic title.
However, released in 2010 came the franchises reboot in the form of, well, Medal of Honor. While this game seemed promising leading up to launch it didn’t make as much of a splash as everyone thought but still managed to maintain positive reception. Due to this positive reception, EA has come forth today to announce that they will in fact be pushing out a sequel to the game.
Unfortunately there has been no official word on exactly what this game will include so we’ll have to keep you posted on that front.
It appears EA has succumb to the criticism from members of the military and has removes the ability to play as the Taliban in Medal Of Honor, but in fact, they’ve just renamed the Taliban to “Opposing Force”. Hopefully, that’s shut up the politically correct folks.
EA has announced that the Medal of Honor multiplayer PC beta will start on October 4, and will bring two modes: Sector Control, a territory-control type, and Combat Mission, a “rush”-like mode. The beta will only run for 3 days, until October 7. However, luckily, it’s an open beta which will be available for all to play.
EA is betting a lot on its upcoming Modern Warfare knock-off, with DICE doing the multiplayer part and all, and now they’ve revealed that the game has to sell at least 3 million copies in order to be considered a success, at least that’s what executive producer Greg Goodrich told the New York Times.
EA has released a new gameplay trailer showcasing the multiplayer side of Medal Of Honor, and it’s safe to say that it looks a lot like Bad Company 2, which is no surprise, since Bad Company 2 developers DICE made the Medal of Honor multiplayer.
Here’s some news that’ll excite Battlefield and FPS gamers: The Limited Edition of Medal of Honor will include a beta key for Battlefield 3. DICE and EA state that the beta for Battlefield 3 will be released within 12 months of the release date of MoH, which probably means early 2011.
EA has released the multiplayer beta of Medal of Honor on the Xbox 360, which is available for those who managed to get a code. There are high expectation for the multiplayer portion of the game, since it’s made by Battlefield-makers DICE.
EA’s Modern Warfare rip off inspired Medal Of Honor will be released on October 12, 2010, EA has announced. The single player campaign takes place in Afghanistan, where a group of special forces is fighting against the Taliban. More interestingly, is that the multiplayer component of the game is developed by DICE, makers of the Battlefield-series.
