The next Medal of Honor game is coming this October.

According to the latest issue of OXM, the game is called Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The sequel to the 2010 reboot is again being developed by Danger Close studios and follows the story of Tier 1 Operators. Multiplayer is being developed in house this time, not by DICE.

The game also uses the Frostbite 2.0 engine, the same engine that powered Battlefield 3.

EA will have more to show at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco next month. In the meantime, check out the new OXM for more details, interviews, and screenshots.

Name sucks. Hope SP is improved.

I'm glad DICE aren't being shoehorned into this one, let them work on their own projects.

Cudder · (02-23-2012, 06:18 PM)

Hope they keep the groundedness of the single player from the last game. Dat mission when you're on the bottom of the hill and have to survive..DAT MISSION

I got the first one for 10 dollars so it's not like I have much to complain about. The SP campaign was pretty average so I hope they will expand on it. Didn't care much for the MP, it was pretty boring so having no DICE involvement isn't a big deal to me.

Razgriz-Specter · (02-23-2012, 06:18 PM)

Stick with the Navy Seals this time hopefully.

I really enjoyed the sniper mission. Want more of that.

Liamario · (02-23-2012, 06:19 PM)

I suspect it's still going to be hybrid of battlefield and COD.

HigherLevel · (02-23-2012, 06:19 PM)

I hope the gunplay is smoother. It felt kind of clunky in the first game.

BattleMonkey · (02-23-2012, 06:19 PM)

No dice? Nice. Assume they are working on the next BF.

yeah man, that mission was awesome too.

purple cobra · (02-23-2012, 06:21 PM)

So they're not calling it MoH2, huh. Great that they're using the same engine for both the SP and MP. I felt a strong disconnect between the first game's SP and MP because of the different engines, felt like what it was basically: two games in one package.

The game should look good using Frostbite 2 but I hope to God almighty the game doesn't suffer the same input lag as BF3 on PS3.

Instead of trying to compete with Call of Duty and Battlefield they should make a multiplayer mode based on that mission. Give the "opposing forces" bigger numbers and less accurate or powerful weapons, while the fewer "allied forces" have to survive until the calvary arrives.

Fezan · (02-23-2012, 06:26 PM)

first one was like complete garbage from forgettable singleplayer to bland multiplayer....hopefully sequel will be better

IndieJones · (02-23-2012, 06:27 PM)

Ha! Hahaha, they did it, they finally did it! They made the most generic name! That's it!

Quick, drop balloons from the ceiling! CONFETTI EVERYWHERE!

snoopeasystreet · (02-23-2012, 06:29 PM)

I prefer Advanced warfighters to Honourable ones.

You'll be able to tell them apart by their unique art styles and game mechanics.

Mr. Enigma · (02-23-2012, 06:30 PM)

Are they going to give "Taliban" a shot again?

Deadly Cyclone · (02-23-2012, 06:32 PM)

First one had a bunch of awesome single player levels, but no story. Fix that and I am game.

Stallion Free · (02-23-2012, 06:33 PM)

I hope the campaign is more than 4 hours long this time. 2010 took 2 hours to get good/exciting and then the good part was over in a flash and the game was done.

I was even playing on hard to try to eek a bit more time out of it.

legacyzero · (02-23-2012, 06:34 PM)

Why am I NOT hyped for this at all??

ultron87 · (02-23-2012, 06:34 PM)

But I already played a game with an Advanced Warfighter. Why would I need this?

shagg_187 · (02-23-2012, 06:34 PM)

Should've named it Medal of Honor: Advanced Warfighter.

Something I loved about the MOH multiplayer was the Combat Mission game mode. I really hope they either bring it back or expand on it like this. It was a nice twist on the usual rush formula to disguise it as a developing operation. If they introduced new game play components like "hold position X for Y time" then they could make something really cool. Maybe one "stage" of the mission is like that, where team A has to hold an objective for so long against instant respawn team B, but one person on team A gets to control an AC-130 or some other air support.

it's just a nice change from the usual team deathmatch.

Apostate · (02-23-2012, 06:36 PM)

Great. Now all we have to do is wait for a Treyarch announcement.

Massa · (02-23-2012, 06:36 PM)

With Frostbite 2.0 but Danger Close doing the art this game could look really good.

That was funny. I was sailing through the game until that point. OMG it doesn't end, was all I could think. Very intense. Very impressive.

Yeah I died so many times in that part just cause I kept getting impatient. Very impressive mission.

Psycho Powaa · (02-23-2012, 06:40 PM)

For those who don't know, Warfighter was the highest rank you could reach in MoH multiplayer. Hence the name.

shinobi602 · (02-23-2012, 06:41 PM)

Looking forward to it.

Because it's just another modern shooter that will be inferior to BF3/MW3 in just about every way?

StuBurns · (02-23-2012, 06:43 PM)

Should have been called Medals of Honor.

Apostate · (02-23-2012, 06:43 PM)

Was anyone else pissed off with the way bullets hit you in single player, both in MoH and BF3? If you're crouched you stand up for a second and in the next milisecond you have at least 3 bullets lodged in you. The worst part (and you can see it in all its glory if you play co-op in BF3) is that the enemies don't even aim at you. They stand stand there, hiding, and bullets fly at you from some place you cannot fathom.

If by "every way" you mean multiplayer, then maybe you're right. SP-wise Medal of Honor is the better franchise judging by the latest entries.

and then when they ran out of bullets and called off the air support (;_;)

Kyaw · (02-23-2012, 06:51 PM)

Keep the single player awesome like the last one and I'm in!

Thoraxes · (02-23-2012, 07:19 PM)

$100000000000000 says it's PC Origin only.

chickdigger802 · (02-23-2012, 07:24 PM)

Shit. Thought it was gonna be a combat flight game.

That flight sequence in BF3 SP was fucking gorgeous! Best on rail sequence in games. period.

strafer · (02-23-2012, 07:25 PM)

Gief Allied Assault 2.

Effect · (02-23-2012, 07:27 PM)

Actually looking forward to this. I enjoyed the SP in MoH, more so then BF3 (outside of the Tank and Russian missions. Those were pretty good.). That multiplayer in MoH though, ugh. Hopefully that will be better this time around.

The_Monk · (02-23-2012, 07:28 PM)

I really liked this past year Medal of Honor SP. MP had some good moments but life in it was one thing that was lacking, still got one class maxed out.

Let's see about this one.

dummydecoy · (02-23-2012, 07:32 PM)

I hope the framerate is solid with no screentear, especially the PS3 version.
subHD be damned.
Hated MOH1's framerate and quit BF3 coz of the screen tear.

Effect · (02-23-2012, 07:35 PM)

A Wii U version of Battlefield 3 is likely out of the question at this point. So hoping that this gets announced for the system at E3 given the relationship EA has with Nintendo. Even if it's a month late.
