Another Medal of Honor game is in the works (surprise!) and it’s titled Medal of Honor: Warfighter, reveals Official Xbox Magazine.
The MoH (2010) sequel, as Game Informer (via Destructoid) reports, is being developed by Danger Close and is due out on October. The game will center around Tier 1 Operators and will include multiplayer that’s being made in-house and not by DICE. Also, Warfighter, like with Battlefield 3, will be powered by the Frostbite 2.0 engine.
Below is Warfighter’s first image as seen on MoH’s official website. More details about the game can be seen in OXM’s April issue. (more…)
If you are a fan of EA games and been wanting to get your hands on some of their shooters well this is your chance to get yourself some games for the PC at the lowest I have ever seen. In this deal you get Crysis for $18.71, The Saboteur for $11.21, Medal of Honor for $44.96 and let’s not forget Battlefield Bad Company 2 priced at $14.96 and finally Battlefield 2142 at $11.21. With these prices you really have no excuse especially if money is tight because anything lowered would be free.

We are here today to review the new first person shooter Medal of Honor, which many believe that it will be a competitor to Modern Warfare and Black Ops and to some degree it is. Based on the War in Afghanistan, you play many different missions around the mountain region of a nation in turmoil. Taking place in 2002 right after September 11 this game has gone through some controversy as family members of soldiers that died in the war weren’t pleased with the fact that in the multiplayer you could play in the Taliban team against the Allied forces.

It looks like Medal of Honor will be giving Call of Duty: Black Ops a run for it’s money as EA is saying that the game has broken a record in pre order sale. This game does look awesome and look really advanced, so we will probably end up reviewing it and putting it on our list of must buy. Below you can see some nice screens of this game, but keep checking with us as we will probably have a review as soon as the game comes out.
EA Games is in some controversy over Medal Of Honor and the game’s Afghanistan battles where some of the online players will play as Islamic insurgents. Family of fallen soldiers are not happy because these battles remind them of what these soldiers went through while in Afghanistan and with the recent casualties this causes a concern.
Karen Meredith, mother of a fallen US soldier says,
“Right now we’re going into a really, really bad time in Afghanistan and we’ve just come off of the worst month of casualties in the whole war and this game is going to be released in October…So, families who are burying their children are going to be seeing this and playing this game. My son didn’t get to start over when he was killed. His life is over, and I have to deal with this every day…it’s just not a game.”
EA defending Medal Of Honor
“In the multiplayer set-up, soldiers are fighting against the Taliban much like Allies fight Nazis in WWII shooter games. In Medal of Honour multiplayer, we give gamers the opportunity to play both sides”
In the end people this is just a game and although it is really sad to hear about a fallen soldier, we should use these games as a reminder that we were attacked on September 11. We really shouldn’t forget that because that was a really sad day in history.
