Modern of Honor

With Call of Duty Effing 7 rumored to be either a Viet Nam or generalized Cold War era offering, it seems that Electronic Arts has pulled the final feeding tube out of the World War Deuce first-person shooter. The next Medal of Honor game will be set in modern-day Afghanistan:
Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators.
Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan.
There is a new enemy. There is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.

There's not enough in the teaser trailer to make it worth posting, but it's here if you're interested. 

To all the MoH vets out there: what are your thoughts?

  1. It looks like the Hell's Angels are the new warriors. But I think I am interested in seeing how this game is. I loved MOHAA, more then the original COD until UO came out and MOHAA got old. The treaser was pathetic, but I am curious to see if this is more playable then their lastest failures of MOH:Airborne. I hope so I am interested in BC, but im not interested in running a marathon everytime I spawn.

  2. DICE is also doing the MP for Medal of Honor, so there's some hope. We should still be skeptical for now, though, since you're absolutely right about Airborne.

    Regarding BC2, you have the option to select a teammate and spawn near him, so that might solve the "marathon" problem. Time will tell.
