It's like Electronic Arts is in the Stone Age with their
Medal of Honor games and its World War II setting. It's been two years since Infinity Ward updated their game with
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Hell, they're about to release
the sequel soon.
Well, if a
LinkedIn profile of a former EA Los Angeles production intern is to be believed, there's a
Medal of Honor game with a more modern setting in the works. In fact, Micah Lapping-Carr -- who is now working with Microsoft on its
Project Natal -- uses the exact words "modern combat" when referencing his work, which ran a short three months in 2008.
Of course, Lapping-Carr could have been born in the 1930s, and "modern combat" may have a different meaning to him. Or not.

Maybe Ghost Recond Advanced Warfighter will pull it back to just "regular" warfighter, they're a little too advanced for the new modern combat craze.
Check out my gaming blog!: http://gaminggoodies.blogspot.com/
To be honest, MOH isn't MOH w/o WW2 ...come on, can't they focus on the more interesting aspects of the war, like spec ops operation, the Italian theater, or just something awesome that isn't heard much from the history books? As much as WW2 been done, there's still plenty more to look up upon.
I'm still down for a WWI shooter if anyone will make it. Trenches and vast open plains would make quite a game I feel.
Just as long as we never, ever, go back to the American Civil War. If only in RTS games.
with robots that still need to be controlled by humans not smart robots.. but done in a good way with classes like killzone2. mixed with rb6v/cod weapon/char customization etc.
no aliens. this is a normal future earth war type thing.
isnt MAG set somewhat in the future? but no lasers i guess?
How about modern with a twist - special ops police in mexican drug war. falklands. africa. turkey- cyprus.
Oh wait of course we wouldn't buy that 'cos we have to be playing an american when we pretend to shoot people. Cos then it's ok.
LOL
You'd best be trollin.
I'm not interested, CoD is all I need.
But will you do that? Nope. You'll just make a "Modern Warfare" and keep it rated "T" so parents with questionable moral fiber will pick the game up for their kids since it's patriotic and doesn't show blood, never mind their child shooting another human being. It's asinine.
You mean Battlefield 2142?
I mean, multi player is important too, but I think they need to start at the single player level in order to get MoH back on the radar.
However, it sells plenty, so I could see the giddy excitement of the Suits.
