Medal of Honor Warfighter Message Board older than one year ago

MOH Warfighter let's you play as various Tier One level operatives from many different countries.

Medal of Honor Warfighter strives to keep it real with authentic weapons, tactics and storylines.

Here's some gameplay video of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, delivered straight from E3 2012. If you want to experience it exactly the way that we did at EA's press event, make sure to turn your speakers up as loud as they will go, and boost the bass up as high as you can. Do that.

Who will you fight for in EA's Medal of Honor Warfighter?

As opposed to Warlovers. Those are, um...different.

When Medal of Honor: Warfighter arrives this October, it's gonna be heavy on the pew pew. No surprise there. But did you also realize it'll have motorboats with guns attached? We imagine it'll feature most things that are able to have gun attachments, actually. Skateboards, for instance. What?

Medal of Honor Warfighter executive producer Greg Goodrich told Joystiq this evening that this October's Danger Close game is being built using EA DICE's in-house Battlefield engine, Frostbite 2.0. This marks the second use of Frostbite 2.0 outside of its origin studio, following last year's Need for Speed: The Run.

After seeing a brief on-stage presentation of the game in action, Goodrich spoke to us about how Danger Close is attempting to distinguish the game visually, despite it being built in the same engine that powers EA's other big shooter. To us, the game didn't look dramatically different from what we've seen in DICE's work with Frostbite 2.0, via BF3.

"I don't think the engine dictates on what it's gonna look like," Goodrich said. "We have a wonderful art director who has a very clear vision of the type of lens he wants to tell our story through. The tech is just a canvas, and that canvas is much larger than it's ever been before."

MoH Warfighter is being developed entirely in-house at Danger Close this time around, with DICE offering little more than engine support (and perhaps the occasional hearty back pat). Goodrich confirmed to us that he and his team aren't growing the same impressive beards during Warfighter's dev cycle, which we'd be lying if we said didn't disappoint us greatly.

"My wife won't let me this time," Goodrich said with a smile. "Same guys, less beard."

#medalofhonor So, the upcoming Medal of Honor is still trying to say it's authentic while showing Call of Duty-esque blockbuster moments. Some things will never change, but some things do, like a lot of the trimmings and context of this reboot's sequel. More »

Tonight Danger Close revealed the international focus present throughout the Medal of Honor: Warfighter experience. Both online and off, every element of the game represents international teamwork amongst Tier 1 teams from 12 different countries...

Medal of Honor: Warfighter features warfighters from around the world, EA revealed today. The multiplayer mode features elite soldiers from 12 nations, "including the Australian SASR, British SAS, German KSK and Polish GROM among others." They'll be able to compete in head-to-head multiplayer. Pre-orders of the limited edition version will get an extra operator, the US Navy Seal Tier 1 Sniper.

EA also detailed the story of the single-player mode, written by real US Tier 1 Operators. Warfighter stars "Preacher," whose home life is in a shambles due to frequent deployment. "But when a deadly explosive known as PETN penetrates civilian borders and his two worlds collide, Preacher and his fellow teammates are sent in to do what they do best - solve the problem." By warfighting.

EA also confirmed the October 23 release date seen in today's trailer.

#medalofhonor The latest update from Medal of Honor: Warfighter is out. The first video to be released features the military operatives, and they're as deadly as ever. They'll come for you in the dark, water, and in between the trees. More »

Tier 1 is going over the top in the next military shooter from Danger Close.

EA has announced that Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be released internationally on October 23rd. The game was announced last month along with some early artwork, but EA has now provided the debut trailer, giving us our first look at the game in action...

Medal of Honor Warfighter is apparently EA's big holiday shooter this year, with a leaked European trailer indicating an October 23 launch date. The sequel to 2010's Medal of Honor is also being handled by EA's Danger Close studio, though DICE isn't picking up the multiplayer slack this time around. As October 23 is a Tuesday, it looks like that will also account for a US release date, but we've reached out to EA for clarification all the same.

EA is bringing back real-world veterans for Medal of Honor: Warfighter, its follow-up to 2010's Medal of Honor reboot, USA Today reports. Rather than use their knowledge to recreate the events of any single campaign -- such as killing Osama Bin Laden -- they're helping shape a game focused on a new threat called PETN.

It's a recent tool of terrorism; a deadly explosive agent called pentaerythritol tetranitrate. "It's a very real world threat that the guys are faced with keeping off our shores and out of our shopping malls and train stops," says Greg Goodrich, who returns as producer at Danger Close.

Warfighter will focus mostly on Preacher and Mother, two SEALs seen in the previous game. The Tier One operators who helped script the campaign are meant to humanize the soldiers, providing us a glimpse of their home lives and the repercussions of their lifestyles.

"It is meant to be entertaining, and we hope people really enjoy that, but in the process there's a lot of misconceptions that will be stripped and there's a lot of clichés that will be destroyed," said Nate, one of the mysterious Tier One operators and co-writers of Medal of Honor: Warfighter. "And there's a lot of humor that will be injected. But at the end of it you hope people get a sense of 'Wow this is not who I thought these guys were.' They are very likable, very approachable, very family-oriented guys."

More details about EA's other modern military first-person shooter have appeared online...

Medal of Honor: Warfighter, which uses the experiences of Tier One Operatives for its missions and plot, will avoid the conclusion of terrorist Osama Bin Laden's life in its narrative.

"That's not our story to tell," producer Greg Goodrich told OXM US. "That's 'family business' to [the Tier 1 Operatives]. ... It's been an interesting exercise learning what's okay and what's not okay [to portray in the game]." And who at EA is going to argue with a guy who can kill with a paperclip?

The Medal of Honor reboot also avoided possible offense two years ago by changing "Taliban" to "Opposing Force" for the multiplayer portion of the game.

"The objection was, kind of from an older generation that doesn't understand games, that the sound bite was 'Play as the Taliban and kill US soldiers,'" Danger Close marketing director Craig Owens told us at the time. "There still is, it seems, a group that's still a little bit leery of a game taking place around an active conflict."
