Will deliver an authentic modern war experience More details were confirmed about the upcoming new Medal of Honor title, as we had revealed in a previous story that we heard was in development by Electronic Arts’ LA Studio. The next Medal of Honor title, which the company claims will deliver the most authentic modern war experience, is slated for release in the fall of 2010 in time for the holiday buying season. The title will simply be released as “Medal of Honor” and is said to feature a storyline about a Tier 1 operator that takes on missions assigned by the National Command Authority that no one else can handle. The title will be a significant radical departure from previous Medal of Honor releases. While EA’s L.A. Studio will be responsible for the development of the title, our sources indicate that the title will be developed in conjunction with DICE, who will be focused on the development of the multiplayer components of the game. Apparently, the reinvention of the Medal of Honor franchise has been in the planning stages for some time and development has been ongoing for several months already. While we have been unable to confirm it, our sources tell us that the new Medal of Honor title will use the DICE Frostbite engine, which is the same engine that powers the recent releases in the Battlefield franchise, including Bad Company, Bad Company 2, and the Battlefield 1943 download title. When released in the fall of 2010 the new Medal of Honor title will arrive for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC platforms. The first ever viewing of the new Medal of Honor trailer will be shown during the Spike VGA awards on December 12th. Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16670/1/

New Medal of Honor Revealed, Delivers Modern Afghanistan Warfare and DICE Multiplayer

by Chris Faylor Dec 02, 2009 11:16am

Electronic Arts officially announced the promised reboot of its Medal of Honor franchise today, revealing that the long-running shooter series is finally leaving World War II behind.

Instead, the new title–simply referred to as Medal of Honor–will take players to “war-torn Afghanistan,” with Electronic Arts promising a “best-in-class single-player campaign” inspired by “real events” and crafted with the assistance of the US Special Operations Community’s Tier 1 Operators unit “to create the most authentic modern war experience.”

Medal of Honor will hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2010, with EA Los Angeles handling the single-player and the Battlefield veterans at EA DICE on multiplayer.

“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… Read more

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed, ‘PC Enhanced Features’ Unveiled

by Alice O’Connor 

The PC beta for DICE’s military shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been delayed until “very early next year,” producer Gordon Van Dyke has explained in a blog post.”With the huge success of the PS3 Beta we decided to drastically increase the PC Beta’s capacity to insure as many people as possible could participate,” wrote Van Dyke. “Unfortunately this meant we had to delay the Beta to very early next year giving us more planning time to make it happen and implement more optimizations.”

 

To lift PC gamers’ spirits, Van Dyke offered a summary of “PC Enhanced Features” including support for joysticks, dedicated servers with up to 32 players and DirectX 11.

Far Cry 3 confirmed

Looks pretty exciting In a recent interview with the Official PlayStation Magazine, Ubisoft’s scriptwriter, Kevin Shortt spilled the beans on Far Cry 3 development. After being asked on whether he’s working on Far Cry 3, Mr. Shortt answered with a “no”, but added how “the team are and what I’ve seen looks pretty exciting”. Unfortunately, other than the fact that Far Cry 3 is in the works, it’s anyone’s guess on how the game will look. It has been suggested that the third sequel will be set in Africa or Antartica, and that it will use an improved version of Dunia Engine, but we’ll know more. Ubisoft have yet to comment on this, but we hope their writing staff is better at writing than they are at keeping secrets.   Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16562/1/

Another L4D title in the works?

Midnight Riders might be next survivors As many have been slugging it out in the Left 4 Dead sequel, a well placed hint suggests that another chapter in the franchise might already be in the works. (As if we didn’t already know that Valve was going to produce another game in the franchise!) During the play of the “Dark Carnival” level, fans might recognize the southern rock band that is called “The Midnight Riders” throughout the level. The Midnight Riders may, in fact, be the next survivors if the posters promoting the official Website and the teaser on the Website offers a hint of what might be coming in the future for the franchise. Some of our sources tell us that it might not be a new title, but just some promotion for upcoming download content for L4D2 that will feature these southern rockers as the survivors. Sources are suggesting that all will be revealed early next year; and, of course, Valve isn’t yet commenting on what might be in the works. When they are ready to talk about it, we are sure you will read about it here.   Source: http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16502/1/
