What's good enough for Activision is good enough for EA if gossip is to be believed. It's being said that the next Medal of Honor game will be brought bang up to date with a foray into the realm of modern warfare.
According to rumors, Medal of Honor: Operation Anaconda will take players to Afghanistan in 2002 and be based around the real-life mission of the game's name. The ill-fated mission saw a helicopter crash and a unit stranded in Taliban-filled mountains.
If this is true, then Medal of Honor has taken a turn for the controversial and this could certainly be a future hot-button topic. If MoH does what Call of Duty was afraid to do and set the game during a relevant, real-life modern conflict, then things could become very interesting indeed. Cue war widows screaming about how games are "making fun" of tragedy, even if the game doesn't do that at all.

What WWI games?
Haha, in the game you could like find him in a microsoft support office, then an achievement could flash up called " I knew it "
People tend to forget that he is Saudi with ties to the royal family...
Well, just off the top of my head, theres a game called 'World War One'.
I'm hoping COD5 will be the last WW2 game. But we all know that's just wishful thinking.
That's what I meant. I was confusing World at War with COD5
Well, just off the top of my head, theres a game called 'World War One'.
His point was that you said "get away from WWI and WWII games" but there was never really that many WWI games that would make us all want to get away from them. WWII games on the otherhand. People are sick of that shit. I'm sick of shooting people with my wooden gun!!
