Medal of Honor is an authentic look into todays war. Inspired by real people and real events, the game puts players in the boots of todays warrior -- from the infantry ground pounder to the Tier 1 Operator, said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor. We are proud of this piece because it offers a glimpse into the game were creating, while also showing the mindset of these warriors.
Medal of Honor leaves the WWII theatre for the first time in its 11-year history and enters the modern day setting of war-torn Afghanistan seen though the lens of a small band of fictional characters. As well, players will be introduced to the Tier 1 Operator, an elite warrior and relatively unknown instrument of the U.S. Military that operates under the National Command Authority.
The Medal of Honor single-player campaign is being developed by Electronic Arts in Los Angeles who has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community to create the most authentic modern war experience possible. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise of EA Digital Illusions CE AB. Together these studios are poised to reset the franchise for a new generation this fall.
