EA @ E3 12: Medal of Honor: Warfighter is slick, smooth, and super badass
EA had a live demo of Medal of Honor: Warfighter on the Frostbite 2 engine, and it was sexy and smooth. It started out with an intense firefight, with you and your team coming in from the water on a beach in Somalia. You get hit and fall under the water, but come back up ready to fight.
At one point, the player is given an option to open the door. A display opens, and you get to choose how you’re going to open the locked door – in this case, he had his buddy shoot the lock. A little while later, you control an RC tank that goes into a burning building and takes out some enemies, and then fights outside on the field with your allies. Everything looks very intense and beautifully and seamlessly integrated.
EA also discussed “Global Warfighters,” Medal of Honor’s multiplayer, which will be playable on the show floor, and it looks badass. Maybe this really will be the year a shooter usurps Call of Duty – but when don’t I say that? Medal of Honor: Warfighter will let you join the battle on October 23.
First Medal of Honor: Warfighter trailer reveals October 23 release date
Behold! We have a release date for Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Get ready to go back to Tier 1 on October 23 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
I don’t know about you, but I got goosebumps watching that trailer. I can’t wait to see more gameplay. Danger Close plus Frostbite 2 engine equals [expletive deleted] yes.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter revealed ahead of GDC
Rumor was that the sequel to 2010’s Medal of Honor would be revealed at the Game Developers Conference. Today, Medal of Honor: Warfighter was announced as Official Xbox Magazine’s April cover.
According to Game Informer, the game – both campaign and multiplayer – will be developed by Danger Close using the Frostbite 2.0 engine, and will be released this October. DICE will not be involved in the multiplayer this time around.
I’m a little bummed DICE won’t be involved, but I’m eager to see what Danger Close can do with an entire game under their control. I’m also surprised to see the game being revealed in OXM, seeing as Sony had the sweet deal with EA before (with Medal of Honor: Frontline included in copies of Medal of Honor).
Either way, I know I’m eager to see more, which will hopefully happen in just a few short weeks at GDC.
Medal of Honor 2 to be unveiled at GDC 2012
EA has sent out an invitation confirming the announcement of a sequel to 2010’s Medal of Honor, according to GameSpot.
The invitation indicates that EA’s announcement will be on Tuesday, March 6, at 8 PM PST. This puts it right smack in the middle of the 2012 Game Developer’s Conference, which is in San Francisco from March 5 to March 9.
I personally am thrilled to hear that they’re releasing a sequel – I loved Medal of Honor and played a ludicrous amount of it. Also, my birthday is on March 8, so I can’t think of a better present EA could give me. Thanks, guys!
Medal of Honor sequel confirmed
Danger Close’s Medal of Honor was released to very polarizing reivews last year. Some loved it for it’s authenticity while others hated it as a pale imitation of other modern first person shooters. But even with the mixed reviews, the game was a huge blockbuster, ultimately selling over five million copies on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
So, naturally, EA is planning a sequel. Executive Producer Greg Goodrich confirmed the development of Medal of Honor 2 on the game’s official blog and thanked the community for their reaction to the game’s storyline:
As you all know, our goal was to tell the story of today’s soldier and to do so with the utmost respect and reverence. We’ve received many letters, emails and messages from active servicemen and women from around the world, along with veterans and their families, with appreciation for our recent depiction of their community. I can’t tell you how important this is to everyone here at Danger Close Games. You are the heartbeat of this team and this franchise and we are privileged and honored to tell your story. Medal of Honor has always been fueled by the passion of our fans and the commitment and sacrifice shown by the men and women of our armed services.
No other details were revealed, but Goodrich did say “We can’t wait to tell you more about it.”
