Medal of Honor Trailer, How Does it Measure Up to Modern Warfare?
I wasn’t sure how I felt about Medal of Honor going all modern combat on everyone. If you didn’t hear, Electronic Arts announced last week that their successful series will put the World War II theme on the back-burner and have this newest installment be told in today’s era. It’s pretty obvious the company has seen what their rival, the Call of Duty series, from Activision, and they have experienced nothing but a lucrative bank account since they decided to take the game into the modern times.
Last night, EA showed off to the world for the first time a trailer for the Medal of Honor reboot. After watching it, it’s hard not to compare the title to Modern Warfare 2, not like we weren’t already doing that in the first place. So the question is, how does it measure up to MW2? Well, it’s too soon to know really. But so far, I’m mighty impressed — in fact graphically speaking, it looks as good as Modern Warfare, maybe even a tad better. Of course, EA is only hand picking what scenes look fantastic, so when people do watch it and think Call of Duty, they might think it could be a MW2 killer — that’s kinda the point of the trailer.
But before anyone jumps on the Medal of Honor bandwagon, let some people play it and let the previews trickle down a little bit, before we give it the first-person shooter crown. But it’s definitely something I’m gonna be watching out for in the near future.

I wish that this title was coming out in the Spring of 2010. My friends and I are getting really tired of the MW2 glitches, 1887’s and “balanced” gameplay.
If EA is listening to MW2 gamers complaints, then they might have an Activision killer on their hands.

True. MW2 is truly a masterful game, but I’ve experienced so many glitches that it really takes away from the multiplayer for me.
However, with three out four Xbox Live gamers playing MW2, it’s understandable that they’re having troubles. So it’s actually amazing that they’ve been able to keep the majority of Xbox Live gamers playing as smooth as it is. In time they’ll have it mostly figured out and smooth all those rough edges.
Medal of Honor looks really cool and doesn’t seem to be a copy of MW2, so I hope hope we’ll have a refreshing modern war game on our hands. Although it’s gonna have trouble selling next Battlefield Bad Company 2. As I come to understand, BBC2 is more anticipated than Medal of Honor because of it’s invigorating and compelling multiplayer. Medal of Honor may end up being rented by players more than bought by players; however, that’s just my opinion. We’ll see what happens in the upcoming year.
