EA GOES TO WAR WITH ALL-New ‘Medal of Honor’

EA Reinvents Franchise with New Development Teams, New Soldier, New Setting


LOS ANGELES, California – December 2, 2009 – Medal of Honor™ returns to the front lines, this time in today’s war. For the first time in the franchise’s 10-year history, Medal of Honor is leaving the WWII theatre and putting players in war-torn Afghanistan. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed that in 2010, Medal of Honor, an all-new first-person shooter game, will introduce the Tier 1 Operator: a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle. The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience. Medal of Honor depicts modern military operations through the lens of a small band of fictional characters. Inspired by real events, Medal of Honor reveals the mission of today’s most elite American soldier – his will, his mindset and his uncompromising professionalism.

Medal of Honor is being built with a best-in-class single-player campaign. The Medal of Honor development team at EALA has been hand-selected by the studio leadership of General Manager Sean Decker, Executive Producer Greg Goodrich and Senior Creative Director Rich Farrelly. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise at EA DICE. This team will develop the multiplayer experience of Medal of Honor. These two studios are coming together to deliver a world-class Medal of Honor that is poised to re-set the franchise for a new generation.

“When we first set out to reinvent Medal of Honor, we wanted to stay true to its roots of authenticity and respect for the soldier but bring it into today’s war. The Tier 1 Operator is the most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield.  He is a living, breathing, precision instrument of war.” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, Medal of Honor. “We are honored to have the rare opportunity to work closely with these men to create a game that shares their experience.”

“EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers’ story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today’s war and today’s elite soldiers via today’s most relevant medium – videogames,” said Sean Decker, VP and General Manager of EALA. “We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre.”

    interesting, i’ve never really played the MOH series, guess the multiplayer was a bit like COD? Dont think it will beat the battlefield experience but i’ll keep my eye on it though now DICE are working on it :)

    and here I thought you were working on a new super secret BF game. ;) I find it interesting and exciting that DICE are handling the MP component for the game. I doubt you can answer this, but will it be on the Frostbite engine and run off of dedicated servers?

    • Gustav

      You are right I cant comment on it but we are still DICE that are making the MP game. ;)

    Gustav this is more imortant than anything-
    BC2 developers dont support temaplay http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/346882.page

    Don’t brake the weapons… please.

    In bc2 they HAVE to make the friendly squads target* marking, visible for all the team SO NO NEED OF COMMANDER. The squads will manage them selfs, what each one will attack.
    If the game grouped the squads by number like squad 1,2 & 3. then when say squad 3 gave an order to attack or defend crate A, we would be able to see a number 3 above crate A, representing to the rest of the team that squad 3′s objective is crate A!! BRILLIANT

    * flag or crate or position
