A New Medal

Despite what some may have felt about the Medal of Honor reboot, which took the series from World War II and placed it securely in a modern setting, Electronic Arts have announced that a new instalment in the franchise will be available in South Africa in October of this year


Once again, the player will be able to take the part of a Tier 1 Operator in the game, but this time Medal of Honor: Warfighter will see the player ranging farther afield, rather than just running around Afghanistan. The game will span locations from the Phillippines to Somalia, and will have the ring of authentic, real-world missions to it.

According to the press release:
"Medal of Honor Warfighter tells the personal story of U.S. Tier 1 Operator “Preacher,” as he returns home only to find his family torn apart from years of combat deployment. Trying to pick up the pieces and salvage what remains of his marriage, Preacher is reminded of what he’s fighting for - family. But when a deadly explosive known as PETN penetrates civilian borders and his two worlds collide, Preacher and his fellow teammates are sent in to do what they do best – solve the problem."

How this new game will be received is something that time will tell. But it is obvious that EA are still keen to make a play for the modern combat First-Person Shooter title.
