Let me guess...
EA's CEO John Riccitiello visited Activision's CEO Bobby Kotick's house one day, and saw Kotick swimming in his money vault Scrooge McDuck style.
And all of a sudden BOOM, we have Medal of Honor: Modern Warfare, oops I mean Present Day Battle.
Am I close?

I have played and loved every Medal of Honor, so I'm on board for this. Please don't let it be rated T though >.>
if it's DICE handling the MP and it uses the Battlefield Frostbite engine you can officially color me interested.
Although, less beard would be good.

What is it with these VGA reveals? Do they actually think gamers watch that crap? Really? I mean yeah we can see the trailers 5 minutes later on the Internet, which is what I plan to do, but then why bother?
Anyway, this was expected and sounds ok. I personally dislike how it reeks of copycat-ing Call of Duty, especially since MoH came first, but whatever... make a good shooter and I'll be there.

Yawn!
I am I the only one who feels this way. The world war two genre got really over-saturated and the same is gonna happen here.I mean I feel like ive been there done that,between modern warfare one, two and battlefield bad company.

@takeshi: i agree completely.
Also "best in class single player campaign" and dice working on the multiplayer sounds pretty damn excellent to me.

Any competition for Infinity Ward is good. Either it will force them to up their game or EA will out do them. Either way it's good news for consumers.
Sounds great. I grew weary of the WWII thing, like many people, I suppose. Guess that's why Modern Warfare fared so well.
I just wish they would stop giving new games the exact same name as old ones! Prince of Persia, Ninja Gaiden and of course Sonic the Hedgehog... Gets confusing as hell.
And @StingingVelvet: yeah.

That reminds me of a movie poster I saw recently. Which means that guy is Jake Gyllenhaal in twenty years' time.
If the single player can be longer than five hours, then I'm all for it. I'm tired of all these super-short shooters.
Any game that has a younger Billy Gibbons on the cover with a weapon just has to rock. He must do this in between sets.
Doesn't seem as classy as Infinity Ward's efforts so far, just a mad dash to capitalize on Infinity Ward's new directions with Modern Warfare.
That said, we still don't know anything about it, but a grizzly, bearded soldier instantly has me thinking anti-hero Merc or Jack Bauer-esque hardass. If that's indeed the direction this game is intending to go, I still appreciate Infinity Ward more for at least leaving room for criticism of war in their narratives rather than just straight-up, badassed glorification of war.

Modern Warfare is classy? Maybe the first one on some level, but 2 is like the dumbest summer movie ever.

What they need to do is take a close look at CoD, look at every aspect, every aspect of the single player and every aspect of multiplayer, once they do that they'll have a nice well laid out plan of what NOT to do and hopefully they can craft something that doesn't have a shitty multiplayer and a laughable campaign.
I'll probably be getting it just because I refuse to get Modern Warfare 2. Also I've had some fun times with Medal Of Honour, it's a nice series in my opinion.
lol at all of the cool iconoclastic MW2 haters. This game is going to be exactly like Modern Warfare.
@ StingingVelvet
Classy might not be the best term, but you're right to call me on its use. MW2's campaign was indeed underwhelming and seemed like it was more thrills than thoughts... I even skipped playing the terrorist mission both times I played through that section of the game, but even so, including it is a pretty thought-provoking move. Same with (SPOILERS FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ACTUALLY HAVEN'T PLAYED MW2 YET) making Shepherd a traitor. Personally, I kind of saw the Shepherd twist coming (I didn't like his view on things from the get-go), but I still think it was in there to make players question the ethics of nationalism. The Modern Warfare games don't completely escape their hardassedry, but there's definitely room for thought sprinkled throughout the experience. Sometimes I think there was a bigger reason that IW wanted to drop the "Call of Duty" from the title of Modern Warfare 2: war conducted by Western nations now is pretty much entirely voluntary, and therefore the "Call of Duty" implied by a WWII setting is no longer relevant. I'll also cite the Metal Gear Solid series here, which is unabashedly critical of the direction of contemporary warfare, but it too does not escape some of its narrative downfalls (the sci-fi elements can be a bit hammy or hard to swallow for some folks).
I liked a few of the Medal of Honor games, namely Allied Assault and Frontline. However, this header image is not giving me the impression of a critical view of warfare. When much of the armed nations of the world possess WMDs of one type or another that could possibly be deployed in response to balls-to-the-wall-do-whatever-it-takes-to-win-tactics, I believe it's a bit irresponsible from a narrative standpoint not to treat the issue a bit more critically. Slap a "Medal of Honor" title in front of it and it sounds like you're rewarding the guy for extremist action.
But hey, that's just me. They're just games, right..?

It's Dec. 2, 2009, and it's slated for a 2010 release!?
That doesn't seem like enough time to put together a quality game to match MW2.
It made me wonder if EA purchased the rights to "Six Days in Fallujah" from Konami and will re-work it to make it less controversial?
