EA teases Medal of Honor 2

EA has teased a Medal of Honor sequel with a leaflet found inside Battlefield 3.

The leaflet, spotted by NeoGAF, features a Tier 1 logo and the URL of the game's website.

News of a new Medal of Honor comes as no surprise - developer Danger Close, née EA Los Angeles - revealed it was working on a new game in February.

The original game's executive producer Greg Goodrich announced the news in a blog post on the game's official site.

"Yes, Danger Close is currently working on the next Medal of Honor," he announced, before offering gratitude to fans for supporting the original game and helping it top five million sales.

"Since our launch last October, we've studied, listened and absorbed much of your feedback and are very excited to be marching forward on the next title," he explained.

The 2010 FPS attracted plenty of controversy in the run up to release. It was forced to backtrack on plans to let users play as the Taliban in the game's multiplayer segment following widespread media uproar.

The leaflet included in Battlefield 3 suggests Medal of Honor 2 is not far off. A 2012 launch would be in keeping with EA's alternating strategy, leaving DICE, which has insisted it will not annualise Battlefield, free to make a new game for release in 2013.

    i hope they ditch the unreal engine for single player this time, multiplayer looked and ran so much better on frostbite

  • IronGiant #2 7 months ago

    What we really need is another military themed FPS franchise.. Aha! COD may well remain the best seller but these other games will eat away at their sales figures.

  • deadmonkeyuk #3 7 months ago

    Medal of Honor should focus on WWII. FPS set in modern day are becoming far too common. I want to kill nazis with the frostbite engine

  • joelstinton #4 7 months ago

    So i guess in a couple of years time we will be all hating on EA/dice then for churning out the same game yearly. Ashame really that these games are seemingly being used as pawns in the goal of massive sales figures. They need a bit of time and personality to make them into something memorable, not just another yearly military FPS. (that goes for the COD series as well)

  • Ultrasoundwave #5 7 months ago

    Loved the first one - appreciated the authenticity of it. MP and SP were both a joy to play.

    Looking forward to the sequel!

  • bad09 #6 7 months ago

    First one was pretty forgettable, lacked personality and felt unfinished due to using 2 engines(was also hugely buggy on PC). I may bite on COD or BF3 maybe even both when they're cheaper but MOH is one series I'll certainly leave to history now even if this one does actually meet EAs quality expecations before they ask us for our money.

  • Sir_STRESSHEaD #7 7 months ago

    @bad09 The game was just fine in both SP and MP on the 360. Whilst it wasn't ground breaking I thoroughly enjoyed the single player campaign!

  • icematt12 #8 7 months ago

    Looks like a new group of T1 then, it doesn't look like the logo of Wolfpack or Neptune with that face.

  • MattEdWithCheese #9 7 months ago

    Just what we need, more annual franchises...

  • GaryStew1980 #10 7 months ago

    @deanmonkeyuk good god now.I am very much done with WWII games for a long long time. BF1943 was a nice filler game but no more than that. I was already tired of them in COD3 but when World at War came out, it became even more apparent.

    The big problem with MOH was it felt like Battlefield Lite. Everything felt like it was on the cusp of being top class, but was too short in the single player campaign and a bit too limited in mulitplayer, even though i actually quite liked both. The sound I thought was one of the games best points to be honest, from the big bangs to simple things like the radio chatter.

    Looking forward to this game but they do need a niche, While MW games are obviously competing with BF games, Treyarch had something a little different last time out, i wasn't black ops biggest fan but it put us in a slightly different scene than MW2 and BFBC2. MOH will be in the same time frame and this may cause problems obviously EA are after the big bucks people spend on COD by putting up yearly rivals even if they are two franchises. Black Ops felt very tired to me and not sure i want similar if not the same games yearly from EA as well as Activision. EA actually seemed to be moving away from this a little the last couple of years,hope they don't slip back into it again.

    DICE won't annualise BF, but they'll happily release a new one 12 months after every MOH.

    That's socking it to the corporate machine isn't it? /sarcasm

    The Medal of Honor reboot was terrible; easily one of the most uninspired games I've played this generation. I don't expect much innovation from military shooters but MOH took the biscuit. Needless to say, I won't be picking up the sequel.

  • cw- #12 7 months ago

    New DICE game in 2013 you say? Mirrors Edge 2 please!

  • zegerman1942 #13 7 months ago

    dear lord. not another MoH from Danger Close. that seriously was one of the worst FPS games ever. They tried to put everything in that the manual for FPS development lists and failed miserably. Buggy as hell, visible AI spawning, scripted like there is no tomorrow and such forced gameplay all the way through. Does the world really need another one?

  • arcam #14 7 months ago

    Call of Duty, Battlefield, Medal of Honor - all were WW2 games, then all at once suddenly changed to modern war. I can have fun in either, but I don't see why they all have to do the same thing at the same time.

  • ThePentatonic #15 7 months ago

    World War II Please!

  • metalangel #16 7 months ago

    Hang on, after playing Operation Metro I thought BF3 was MoH2.

  • schnide #17 7 months ago

    I've been playing games for more than twenty years and don't understand why MOH got such a kicking. Sure, it was not perfect but any means, but it was more believable and original than anything I saw in Modern Warfare 2. Played MOH through to the end, and it was only marred by some really bad bugs and being far too short.

  • jefranklin18 #18 7 months ago

    Mankind has been engaged in war for just about every year since the beginning of time , can't they pick something else to be different? Vietnam, Korea, the American civil war, anything?

  • kalinichenko #19 7 months ago

    Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!Loved Medal Of Honor's SP campaign,the only downside being too short:)

  • Quixz #20 7 months ago

    I'll probably buy it. The Single player was good, it was the multilayer that let the first one down.

  • andy10 #21 7 months ago

    Only interested if DICE do the multiplayer again. Single player was enjoyable enough but ultimately forgettable.
