Lee Bradley

EA has announced that it will unveil a new Medal of Honor title next month.

Invites have been sent to various outlets for an event on Tuesday, March 6th, the week of the Game Developer’s Conference. The big announcement looks set to happen at 20:00 PST.

It’s no surprise. EA has absolutely no secret about the fact that it’s working on a sequel, but nothing is known about the contents of the actual game.

“We expected more and for the next outing, Danger Close and co. are going to have to up their game significantly,” said Dan in our review of 2010’s Medal of Honor reboot. 

Let’s hope they have. We’ll get some indication on March 6th.

  • Can it be like the originals please with more focus on fun than realism?
  • Can't wait to see a trailer
  • So is EA going to be releasing a MoH & a BF every 2 years? They must want in on some of that Activision money.
  • Hope they don't rush it this time in order to release it "before" COD.
  • PASS
  • Surely this game will be of such high quality that it'll be like Syndicate and be released without an online pass. Right, EA? Right?
  • hopefully they will make this one good coz 2010's MOH was terrible.
  • I'm interested.
  • I do agree the last MoH was pretty terrible, no doubt they will mess this up too unless they think from BF.
  • I don't understand why everyone says that the last MOH was terrible. I mean it had its flaws but it was still a great game.The story mode was alrite and the online was pretty fun.
  • I loved the first one. Admittedly was a bit disappointed as expected more but still loved it none the less. Really looking forward to what they can do with the next one!
  • I defo will not be getting this day one. Did that with the last one, I got a uber short SP game and a poor unbalanced MP. Im definatly going to wait for reviews this time. I hope the graphics are better too, running all the videos on a top end PC only to get the XBOX 360 version, dear lord... I'd rather have a HD Collection of the originals on the PSX.
  • @11 By "first one" do you mean the classic PS1 game? THAT was the first one :)
  • I enjoyed the general gameplay of the first,however I was totally let down by the graphics which looked amazing in all the trailers(even the ones they made a point of saying were running on 360s).Though I don't usually judge a game on graphical quality,I was looking at trees with square pixelated leaves straight out of Duke Nukem 3D. I think the real kick in the teeth was in the back of a Chinook during a firefight landing where it went from Bink video filmed with the in game engine and then being dumped into the normal game engine to start gameplay and the comparison was terrible. The whole campaign was painfully short and the multiplayer was a terrible blend of Bad Company 2 and Call of Duty where they were trying to cash in on a run and gun shooter and keep the tactical teamplay, which just didn't work. This was actually the first game I ever traded in as I was so pissed off by it. If they can fix all these things then I'm buying the next one.
  • I don't understand why the first one fares so badly. I thought the campaign was solid, with some nice visuals and audio effects. The online did seem a bit half-baked but not terrible. For a first attempt, it was promising - can't wait for #2
  • @13 No, i didnt mean the ones back on the PS1. And i think it's safe to say that it was fairly obvious that I was actually referring to the first one in this current series. The one released in 2010. But yes, i do know of the 1999 release of Medal Of Honor on PS1. Thank you kindly.
  • i enjoyed the last moh, the new one though need's a campaign that lasts longer (but without using infinite respawns) and the multiplayer needs rapidly expanding, it felt a bit like a battlefield demo with only a couple of classes and like 4 game modes, preferably have them made by the same people in the same engine so it isn't like swtiching game
  • Enjoyed the singleplayer, loved the multiplayer,just to few maps especially on the rush style maps which is what I liked the most as the game could last 40mins or so but with just 3 maps to choose from wasnt very well supported. Kinda liked the basic choices of weapons & the defense & attack support modes were something fresh. With a few tweeks here and there I think this could be a solid game, but certainly need to focus on grabbing the audience (and keeping them) when it comes to the multiplayer.
  • I see everyone complaining about the mp of the last one, do you all forget it was dice's first shot in their frostbite 2, and if I'm not mistaken was a rushed mp as well, which in a sense was their warm up to bf3, one of, if not THE best online fps game for console, and possibly pc. I don't know if dice is doing mp again or if danger close is, but the framework is there, they have the feedback from what the first one lacked, and what makes battlefield so great,I for one will be keeping high hopes for this, as I won't be doing another midnight launch for cod, as mw3 was disgraceful
  • ill wait for the reviews, if its anything like the last one , ill pass.
  • For me it just boils down to being absolutely sick and tired of the military shooter genre. Everyone just taking eachothers ideas, pumping out yearly releases over and over again. Ghost Recon is the only military game I ever really cared about.
  • The problem seems with COD making millions upon millions all the modern warfare shooters seem to have gone the way of COD. At least from a campaign standpoint (which is why I buy/play) MOH and BF3 single player seems to have lost something. I really liked to cover/movement system in MOH where you could slide and snap onto to cover but the rest felt like COD set pieces. BF3 was the same for me. Gone was the wide open highly destructible areas of Bad Company and BF2 as well as a lack of vehicles. I liked the grit of BF3 but for all the realism it felt alot of stuff felt out of place. I would run out of ammo in BF3 and would turn back to grab a new gun from the last set of enemies we downed and about 10 to 15 feet from my squad I get a warning message I'm leaving the battlefield?! What?! I'm not huge on FPS so I can really find enjoyment in any of them but I really think shooters need to strive to find their own identity rather than try and jump on a COD bandwagon.
  • @ 2 Like MOH, the trailers will be great, that's a given. Too bad that doesn't always carry over to the game. I actually enjoyed watching the trailers more than playing the game itself. So boring. @ 20 - ditto. I picked up the first one for $10 new still feel I overpaid.
  • The bottom line in all these shooters is this..... they need to run at 60fps. If they do not, they feel stiff. Call of duty runs at 60. Its smooth as hell. If battlefield or moh ran at 60 ,they would seriously be contenders..
  • Last series is medicore and please make this much much better. Maybe bring back World War II or World War I because Modern wars getting old much now. I loved modern wars but not much world war games recents for many years. In my opinion Medal of Honor should stick to World War because EA already got modern wars from Battlefield series so why not EA have world war series it is Medal of Honor. Bring back world war please. EA!!
  • Does anyone remember the Small Soldiers game on PS1 and it had the first trailers of the original MOH game? It was supposed to be pretty damn violent and looked pretty good. Nostalgia hit me so I thought I'd bring that up, haha.
  • #25 You read my mind cheevo. World War I would be a great unfamiliar setting for a shooter. One of the only times I can remember playing a World War I level was in Darkest of Days. @#26 Wow. Small soldiers. Just watched it the other day. I definitely remember playing that and looking forward to MOH1. Was not diasppointed with that game. The stealth/disguise areas were few and far between but I'd like to see something done with that again.
  • Can't be any worst than Airborne (possibly the game I regret buying the most of all time), or even the last one. They advertised it as being so realistic but it just felt like a much inferior BF clone with weapon effects that seemed like you were shooting the Taliban with Nerf guns.
  • Sorry to post twice as well but...guys. A WW1 game-really? How on earth could that honestly work? Pretty much the only gaming genre that it might be vaguely feasible in would be an RTS (flight simulators aside). An FPS would pretty much entail an awful lot of standing around in trenches on the Somme till the whistle blows and you get gunned down whilst walking very slowly towards the enemy with bayonets fixed.
  • I enjoyed the recent MOH campaign but I cant say the same for the Multiplayer. It was just a sniper fest, people would sit at opposite spawn points and snipe eachother, pretty damn lame. Im sure the next one will be a upgrade. @24 it isnt possible for battlefield to run at 60fps. The game is way to big and with vehicles going all over the battlefield, the console couldnt handle it. And I dont care how smooth COD is, it is still a piece of crap.
  • @#29 Really WWI. Tannenberg, Mansurian Lakes, Ypres, & Gallipoli to name a slim few. Seriously combat heavy battles. Ypres was also the first time gas was used during the war. It could be handled extremely well.
  • MOH-Call of the Battlefield
  • Excellent really liked the multiplayer, it took some getting used to, but very addictive. Will be interesting if the frostbite 2 engine is used, could be very good, just do me a favour and give us more maps, I mean lots more maps!!!!!!!
  • @31 How would you deal with those in a game though? They weren't battles that were just won overnight, they were attrition based. There are far more viable war locations for an FPS out there. There was a phase where Vietnam games were popular, semi-revived by Black Ops, but not really capitalised on enough, the Korean War has never been done, nor has the Falklands (although the latter would be better suited to being a segment in a CoD campaign, as Medal of HonoUr is an American based series). History is a developers oyster.
  • I liked MoH 2010 quite a bit. For me, the simple fact that MoH was set in an actual war, rather than a made-up fictional conflict, puts it above Battlefield and CoD in the Modern Shooter category. I never got into CoD, Battlefield has been played out for me, but I would consider purchasing another MoH title, provided that it stays true to the goal of being based on a real war. I'm hoping this MoH takes us to Iraq, and allows an empathetic view of Iraqi civilians somehow. And actually, I would be interested in a World War I game of some type. The closest thing we have on Xbox to my knowledge is Toy Soldiers, and I'm just not that interested in that.
  • A presser on my birthday for a game I'm looking forward to? Sounds like a nice gift.
  • @28 That is a pretty spot-on description of how I felt playing through it as well.
  • If they made this new MoH like one of the PS1 games, then I will buy it day 1. Let's go past the dated PS1 graphics for a sec; those MoH games had everything, steal, infiltration, action, advanced MP for its time...
  • Back to World War II, please. WWII with Frostbite 2.0 would be amazing.
  • I personally enjoyed the last MoH game. Glitches aside, I thought the campaign was pretty fun and well paced. If this one is more polished I think it might be one of the better releases this (or next) year.
  • Just get rid of that god awful Unreal Engine used for MoH1's campaign. Holy shit that engine sucks.
  • I can't wait for another douchebag to go public and say this time Activision should definitely be scared. They did that when BF3 was announced (LOL, not even close) and when MoH reboot was in the works (some serious LOL here). On the other hand, I would love to play MoH like it used to be played. I see nothing wrong with going back to roots and enough with modern warfare already. Either go back in time or move on to future=P
  • Ah yes, "Medal of Honor: Warfighter" And the universal consensus is that it blew and killed the franchise.
