Electronic Arts has been quiet about the Medal of Honor franchise for a while, allowing Call of Duty to remain the leader in that genre of the shooter. That's going to change soon, however. On an investor call today, EA Games label head Frank Gibeau teased a "revitalization" of Medal of Honor to be revealed soon. No other details were revealed about this new take on Medal of Honor.
Gibeau said the company's approach to Need For Speed kicks off a new initiative to "revitalize blockbusters" experiencing creative stagnation. EA considers the Need For Speed experiment a success and will extend the concept not only to Medal of Honor, but other "core IPs" from EA.
Gibeau made it sound like we would hear about these in 2010.

I hope they do something different to the game i didn't get into the last one to much. I do like the Medal Of Honor games though.

Even if they did reinvent the series there is no way it is going to touch modern warfare 2. The last medal of honor has horrible and modern warfare 2 is already going to sell 10 million copied in its first week. Even treyarch's next call of duty wont touch it. In my opinion its too late to try and take over call of duty's hold on shooters.

....world....war......II
again and again studios keep making games for the genre, not that i discourage the effort though. I'm just saying the only way to make a WWII game that will utterly succeed is to make it MIND BLOWING....and by no short measure either....
Why do these studios keep trying to win such an uphill battle? (unless of course this MoH is mind blowing :) )

i loved the first MoH games...even Heroes 2 for Wii.
But no one can blame me for being skeptical.

As many heads as this will blow, I would much rather see another good Medal of Honor game than another Call of Duty game. I just think that Modern Warfare is a tad over-rated, and too full of itself. Also, there isipid fanbase is enough to make anyone want to commit hari kiri

Can't wait for Medal of Honour: Modern Warfare!

I liked Modern Warfare 1 and pre-ordered Modern Warfare 2. I welcome EA's attempt in trying to surpass Modern Warfare; If we don't have companies trying to surpass it we will end up with a juggernaut franchise taking over one genre without any competition (i.e. Madden).
I do hope these companies would put their ideas together and create a Call of Duty game where you can steal helicopters and have a grappling gun to swing across buildings.
I played the last Medal of Honor and wasn't too impressed. Hopefully they have better luck on the next one.
On the final note: If any Medal of Honor creators are reading this hopefully you can make the next Medal of Honor game based off the Revolutionary War. Looking to shot some redcoats.

MOH became garbage after Breakthrough. I refuse to believe EA ever again.

What they need to do is make it an RTS, but with a twist. Basically, there is one "leader" person who moves the troops into battle and once they get into battle, players from that team battle the other team and who ever wins the match, wins the battle and don't get destroyed.

Can we please get a Vietnam game? Sure there are a few out but they suck horrible.

I for one can not wait, I still play Hells High way, game play is different. I'm very happy with EA so far, lets not forget Fifa 10

id say just screw MoH series do they honstly think there gunna catch up or something? call of duty has been out way to long for them to just say "hey lets make this one good"

i just started wondering about the medal of honor series last week, what a coincidence

I would like to see them do a game about WWII, or something new. Honestly, WWII provides some nice story and great action, but it has been done to death.

Medal of Honor was so freakin' awesome when it first came out. I really hope for a nice revamp this series really needs.

WW2 shooters should die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enough!!!!!! World at War was the last ww2 one I could take. Either Sci-Fi or modern shooters, but enough damn ww2 piles!!!

I remember MoH Frontline introduced me to the fps genre. Hope this game does as well as they say...
harusing
okay um 2010, Halo Reach, MOD2 ( i know but were still playing MOD1 aren't we?), Lost Planet 2, BF bad company 2 (AWESOME!!!). Honestly this game picked a bad time to make another shooter.
