Electronic Arts Confirms New Medal Of Honor, Stars Grizzly Bearded DudeRumors have pointed to Medal of Honor following in Call of Duty's lead and moving out of World War II, but Electronic Arts has been quiet on what that actually means. Soon, we'll know. EA has officially announced the rebooted Medal of Honor...but we still don't know very much.

"I fight with my mind," reads a teaser trailer on the official website, accompanied by some brief art. "My hands are my weapons and extensions of my will."

Players will apparently be part of a secretive squad known as Tier 1 operating in Afghanistan. It's likely no coincidence Medal of Honor's announcement comes hot on the heels of President Barack Obama's decision to increase the United States' presence in the real-world country.

"Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform," says EA's short description of the game. "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."

Putting gamers into the heart of Afghanistan could very well present some interesting (and potentially controversial, post-No Russian) scenarios. EA DICE, the studio behind the Battlefield franchise, is handling the multiplayer. EALA is developing the single-player campaign.

Medal of Honor releases next fall.

    Okay here is what is bothering me about this whole thing. It took me awhile to put my finger on why this whole thing annoyed me. Remember \"Six days in Fallujah\". The shooter set in the war that was announce like 4 or 5 months ago. It was met with outrage by the public and some journalist alike. The president just announced the deployment of 30,000 US troops to Afghanistan to help put an end to the conflict that this game is about. How is this different from Six days in Fallujah? Now we find out it may be based on an actual person. I am fine with the whole thing. Video games are an entertainment medium and should be open to explore any subject. But where is the backlash? Is it simply because there is no actual battle named in title? Is it because it is EA and DICE, two very respected entities within gaming? Just some thoughts.

    @shortbus421 That is a terrible idea. A Veitnam game would be WAY to limited. I also wouldn't mind a good WWII game, haven't played a good one since Call of Duty 2.

    Look like they're taking some ideas from modern warfare into medal of honor.

    Any war game thats based in modern time has got my attention. I am a sucker for shooters.

    I bet this game will be used to formulate the plans to fight over there for real.

    If it's not cloning the Modern Warfare series, then I'm fine with this. There's a few directions that they can go with this, hopefully it's one that we haven't seen before.

    Its nice to see game franchises coming out of the World War 2 period and into modern times, but I would also like to see more games covering the wars in between. Vietnam anyone?

    Medal of Honor: Frontlines is one of my favorite games of all times! MoH: Frontlines and Halo are the first FPS to get me addicted to FPS. I hope they don't screw this up, they have a HUGE mountain to climb and CoD:Mw2 is on top right now!

    I know comparisons will be made, but does anyone else think the cover art reminds you of the greyer and grungier Modern War 2 cover art?

    ...with a more ZZ Top influence of course...

    It was Metal of honor that brought WWII to life, and had copycats like CoD use their theme. I remember first seeing CoD and going''What, its all about MoH'' at least until CoD3 came out and stole me, but MoH still has my heart and I'm hoping they'll claim it w/ their new entire

    This definitely has my interest piqued. It has a lot of potential to be something completely awesome.
