So, Medal of Honor is going modern, and here's what it looks like. A modest collection of new screens for EA's series reboot has hit the Internet today, featuring tanks, beards, guns, and all the shades of brown that a current-gen game needs.
Medal of Honor has never really been able to stand up to Call of Duty, but Electronic Arts is definitely hoping to give the series an edge with this new title. Whether it succeeds remains to be seen, though we can tell you it's going to have to do a lot more than wear Modern Warfare's clothes in order to beat Modern Warfare. I hope it does well, because now that Activision has seized total control over Infinity Ward and looks set to whore out the Call of Duty franchise, we could very much do with a worthy challenger to the FPS throne.

Spearhead is still my favotire MoH game.
Didnt copy CoD MoH in the first place? Just wondering.
You're right, the first MoH was released in 1999, and the first CoD wasn't released until 2003.
That said, I'm not sure if either game or series can be said to "copy" the other any more than any other "realistic" FPS, but there you go.
BALONEY I SAY!
Well, CoD certainly copied MoH: Allied Assault, but then the CoD team were made up mostly of veterans from that game, so they copied themselves if so. Not the same really.
Plus CoD went modern first, and now MoH is copying that.
Lastly, it's not just going modern that is a copy, there are lots of modern shooters I wouldn't call copies of CoD, but the tone and style of these pics and the original video are extremely similar to MW in tone, feel and look.
Fingers crossed, I have more faith this is going to come out really good. This is the first game since Infinity Ward left the Medal Of Honor series to form Infinity where it feels like a real effort and good team of developers are in place.
Ever since losing the Infinity guys, series seemed to be coasting. But I know this: All they have to do is not have akimbo with their weapons in multi and I'm sold. It already looks freakin' good even this early.
...should have been playing bf2 and 2142 the whole tome for this experience.
