EA has confirmed what has been a rumor for some time that they will be doing a re-boot and bringing back Medal of Honor. They will be putting the story of Medal of Honor in war-torn Afghanistan instead of WWII. The title is due out in 2010 and EALA has been working on the title and is using EA DICE team to assist with multiplayer. EA DICE knows about multiplayer with previous titles being from the Battlefield franchise.

The game introduces the Tier 1 Operator who takes on missions no one else can handle.

“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.”

During the Spike TV VGA awards there will be a first look video of the new Medal of Honor.

“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.”
