Medal of Honor

We’ve been in no short supply of screens for EA’s Medal of Honor reboot but finally a new trailer has been released. Just like the trailer that debut in December, we’re once again treated to the tactics and action of the Tier 1 Operators. Some of these tactics include riding ATV’s, stealth stabbing dudes, and generally being a badass while sporting a beard.

One of the many games being shown at GDC this week is EA’s Medal of Honor reboot. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen the game but EA is putting it in the spotlight this week with its GDC appearance and subsequent gameplay footage set to premiere tonight on GameTrailers TV.

Besides the initial release trailer and a few magazine cover stories we haven’t really gotten a lot of media on EA’s Medal of Honor reboot. In fact it almost seems like we’ve gotten more media for the MoH inspired game that’s being made by the folks over at NeoGAF.

Last week was THQ’s turn to boast about their financial earnings and today it was Electronic Arts’ turn.  Overall earnings for the company were ok (they only lost a measly $82 million) but most gamers could care less about things concerning percentages and millions of dollars earned/lost as most simply care about when the games are coming out.

The upcoming issue of Official Xbox 360 Magazine features the recently announced Medal of Honor reboot as its cover story and the magazine was nice enough to share a few morsels of info, some of which we knew already.  OXM once again confirms that the game will take place in Afghanistan, you know instead of being set in mysterious middle-eastern country X like in Modern Warfare or 24 in an attempt to be politically correct.

After being rumored for awhile EA today announced that the once popular and mighty Medal of Honor franchise is coming back, but this time it’s ditching the WWII setting for the modern day battlefield of Afghanistan.

The game simply titled “Medal of Honor” has players assuming the role of Tier 1 Operators who are elite soldiers that are involved with highly important and volatile missions that no one else can handle i.e. they’re bad-asses.
