EA: Medal of Honor being revitalized, details 'in the months ahead'
by Christopher Grant 
{ Nov 9th 2009 at 7:50PM } 
The long-established war series – whose Allied Assault team led to the creation of Infinity Ward and the now dominant Call of Duty series at competitor Activision – has been absent since 2007's triple showing of the poorly received Medal of Honor: Airborne, the poorly received Medal of Honor: Hereos 2, and the even more poorly received Medal of Honor: Vanguard. Yeah, a reboot seems in order.

Fine.
Steam then.

Wow...EA wants to become profitable by trying to revive a dead franchise.
That sounds a little like Sega to me.
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 9th 2009 7:58PM
Now if only they could do the same for Road Rash. Yes, I still live in the distant past!
Sly @ Nov 9th 2009 8:12PM
oh god, road rash. that game was THE SHIT.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 9th 2009 8:14PM
Hey, Bobby. If you like the past, give me a Pitfall remake. Okay?
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 9th 2009 8:17PM
I don't think I could exploit that title on a semi-annual basis. Sorry.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 9th 2009 8:18PM
Let me rephrase.
*waves hand*
You want to give me a Pitfall remake.
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 9th 2009 8:19PM
Hang on. Let me think for a bit and try to re-phrase that statement. While we're waiting, how about enjoying the following?

Sonic Heroes
Medal of Honor Heroes
...oh my God!

Oh, Bobby. Your popularity has been climbing lately. I'd hate for people to see these links and be reminded of your past...

You know that's the kind of crap that's got me banned 3 times so far? Although the second time was ironicly after I accepted The Artist Formally Known As Jesus into my heart.
Don't put that kind of stuff out there to the public, man. I'm running out of Email addresses...
DazzleFTW @ Nov 11th 2009 5:17PM
Lol. Well this could work, but I am sure they are worried more about sales than bringing the gaming community another good shooter. They are probably going to make it modern or something to compete with MW2 and upcoming games like MAG and BF:BC2.
Hangster @ Nov 9th 2009 7:57PM
now introducing: Medal of Honor: Modern Warfare
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 9th 2009 7:59PM
Screw you.

Comtar @ Nov 9th 2009 8:17PM
No it will be Medal of Honor: Present Day Combat
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 9th 2009 8:16PM
And increases in the Racial Slur category!
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] @ Nov 9th 2009 8:22PM
sadly it'll definitely be that
Iroquois @ Nov 9th 2009 8:23PM
Medal of Honor: Current World Conflicts
Inevitably Bored @ Nov 9th 2009 8:53PM
Still set in WWII. By 'modern' they mean taking out features, like MW2.
xaiax @ Nov 9th 2009 9:13PM
To go with the MoH:AA alliteration it should be "Current Conflict"

Medal of Honor: Here and Now Edition

Medal of Honor: Urban Warfare?
Sly @ Nov 9th 2009 7:57PM
heroes 2 was well received on PSP... just not wii. CoD beats MoH on every platform besides the PSP.
Iroquois @ Nov 9th 2009 8:00PM
Actually, it was pretty well reviewed on Wii initially. Multiplayer was called the best of the year on Wii at it's release. Too bad the character models in multiplayer were shitty and it never caught my attention personally.
jackbauer @ Nov 9th 2009 8:08PM
Got to give credit to heroes 2, one of the first wii fps to allow a expanded set of customization options.
Sly @ Nov 9th 2009 8:11PM
true.
lobotomies4free @ Nov 10th 2009 12:16AM
I loved Heroes 2 on wii actually. Been hoping for a 3rd with more online maps and better graphics
Dreaded Fear @ Nov 9th 2009 7:57PM
Medal of Honor you used to great. Hopefully they do a war that hasn't been done to death, or properly (Vietnam, Korean War, etc...)
With the success of Battlefield, and Call of Duty I expect they will go into modern times however.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 9th 2009 7:59PM
I've always wanted some good Korea and Vietnam games.
rickjamess04 @ Nov 10th 2009 12:18PM
Personally I think they should go back a few years and do a few things:
Medal of Honor: 1776
Medal of Honor: French and Indian War
Medal of Honor: Custer's Last Stand
Medal of Honor: Gettysburg
DWells55 @ Nov 9th 2009 7:58PM
Allied Assault and Spearhead were fantastic games and I got years of online play out of MoHAA, but none of the recent Medal of Honor entries have convinced me that they were really worth playing.
Wince @ Nov 9th 2009 8:00PM
@EA
No thank you.
SpaceFox @ Nov 9th 2009 8:01PM
Dont see the point tbqh. Seems like Battlefield is gonna be their big hit when it comes to first person shooters(as it deserves to be, BC2 looks amazing). Why waste time on a dead series?
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 9th 2009 8:08PM
Silly SpaceFox. Have you already forgotten about Sega's Project Needlemouse thing they're working on? You really should give a series the chance to surprise you, even if the name has been lost for several years. That's why we have GameFly.

@NotKotick
Didn't we ban you a while ago?
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 9th 2009 8:17PM
Modern Kotick is different from the old, insane Kotick who defended Activision's every move.
Bobby Kotick @ Nov 9th 2009 8:22PM
Fuck you, Mecha. I am Bobby Kotick,

Sly @ Nov 9th 2009 8:27PM

Wardo @ Nov 9th 2009 8:19PM
My friends and I used to play MoH: Frontline multiplayer all the time. Good times, good times.
Stochinblockin @ Nov 9th 2009 8:52PM
Wasn't the next Medal of Honor supposed to take place in Afghanistan?
Oh right, no one cares about that conflict.
