First Medal of Honor details are kind of predictable  photo

The latest issue of Official Xbox 360 Magazine -- slated to hit shelves this Thursday -- contains a preview of the fresh new Medal of Honor in its pages. For the time being, we have got a few basic details to give us insight into the mystery of this modern-day series reboot.

  • Tier 1 Ops soldiers brought in to help with authenticity - camo, military speak and so on.
  • Takes place in Afghanistan
  • You can shoot out lights and use night-vision
  • There will be multiple playable characters
  • Features sprinting and knife melee attack, similar to Call of Duty

We were already aware of the location, and most of the other bullet points are more or less staples of those popular modern first-person shooters the kids are always going on about. And multiple characters, eh? As far as I can tell, we only need one character: Cowboy. There can be no others.

OXM #56 out this Thursday - First Medal of Honor details! [OXM]

Oscar Mike has become a permanent (in a comical sense) phrase in my vocabulary.What can be better than what MW2 possibly missed?

Also, COWBOY!!!

If Cowboy says "Tango down!" for every kill he makes, I'll buy it. Also, suggestion for other player names: Indian, Sheriff, Chief, and Captain Bryce.

This article is so horrifically wrong that I don't even know where to start. For one...

...

...oh wait. I thought it said "First Medal of Honor winner was kind of a pedophile". Never mind.

I don't think I could ever play a character with a beard as magnificent as that, it just breaks the sense of illusion.

A steroid-abusing womanising ass hole like Duke Nukem? Sure.
A sassy, incredible super spy like Cate Archer? No Probs.
An electrifying courier like Cole MacGrath? I'll play.

But a beard like that? Impossible! Please let the voice actor be recast to Brian Blessed. Please!

Nolan North should voice that magnicifent beard to make a compelling protagonist.

Also, please tell me there's a "Beard Melee" option. Look at it, that thing craves BLOOD.

i just hope this doesn't turn out too much like cod, i appreciate cod, despite my enjoyment waning, but a lot of people seem to dislike any game that isn't cod and that saddens me.

Make your own sprint mechanic and knife mechanic, not every game needs to be cod!

Hmm, the mention of light shooting and NVG gives me hope that this game might go beyond CoD's shooting gallery gameplay...but that hope is minuscule at this point.

It's going to be more of the same, hopefully with some decent polish and a worthwhile multiplayer mode...however I will still hold out hope of this being the first 'FBS' with your beard visible on screen while in first-person view...

Idk this just seems like to much of the same to me and i know in a world with modern warfare 2 that is a funny statement.But i do like the the original ideas i've read so far. Shampoo Mactavish,Capt Bryce lol. If anything this "Cowboy" is prob like Mactavish in that he does all the badass shit while you stand around and watch...I just don;t know bout this one guys...sounds like Medal of honor: Modern warfare 2 1/2

Here's how to beat Infinity Ward at their own game(at least in single-player)
-Make it longer. About as long as Half-Life, or even Quake and Doom.
-Make the stages LESS LESS linear. At least Left 4 Dead, or near FarCry/Crysis level.
-Give it a more thinking-man's feel like Brothers in Arms
-Make the story competent *cough* Modern Warfare 2 *cough*
-Maybe not take yourself so seriously
-Bring back healthkits!
-Add in online Co-op.
-Make it infinitely replayable!

Yeah, I agree with him. These points would make it better, granted MW2 has online Co-op.
