Medal of Honor

Medal of Honour is an upcoming first-person shooter game set to be released in October 2010. It is being developed by EA Los Angeles and DICE. The emphasis will be on realism, with EA going as far as to bring in consultants from the United States military. It is expected to include the kinds of objectives and tasks issued in real life such as raiding terrorist hideouts, torture, hostage rescues and undercover operations. The single player is set to include some drivable vehicles such as helicopters, jeeps and a quad bike. As far as can be seen on the multiplayer Beta's it looks like there is no destruction to the environments despite using DICE's Frostbite engine
The game is going to compete with the Call of Duty's franchise.
At E3 2010, EA announced that a Playstation 3 exclusive Special Edition would be released and will include a remastered version of 2002's Medal of Honor: Frontline.
Technical details about the game include that it will be using a heavily modified version of the Unreal 3 engine for the single player campaign. On the other hand multiplayer is going to be using the engine Frostbite, which is well known for its uses in EA's and DICES Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
== Story ==
There will be one single player campaign. The player will play as multiple characters that each partake in diverse and unique experiences from both the “Tier 1” and “Big Military” perspectives. The storyline will follow several "Tier One Operator" soldiers working under the National Command Authority in Afghanistan during the 2001 War in Afghanistan. Players will also step into the shoes of a US Army Ranger and will fight on a larger scale than the "Tier 1 Elite Ops" campaign, as players will only be a small part of the 'war machine'. The campaign will be heavily weighted (with regards to playtime) in favor of the Tier 1 group.<videogallery>
