Medal of Honor Preview

We often talk of healthy competition in the gaming industry. For a good and fair economy, obviously, this is essential, and in order to bring about some of the most groundbreaking games it is no less so.

Modern Warfare II has already pulled in over $1 billion for Activision and the Call of Duty franchise. All this happened at a time when their traditional rival franchise from EA, Medal of Honor, was on the decline, and their own Guitar Hero series continued to triumph over EA's Rock Band.

But EA are returning with what is their most ambitious challenge to the current status quo of the industry in years. Medal of Honor disappeared for a few years, but they pledged to be back in 2010. Now set in Afghanistan, it is undoubtedly trying to depose the vastly over-rated Call of Duty from the top of the charts with what we hope will be a game which puts emphasis on the realism lacking in their rivals franchise.
