Medal of Honor looking nice, not totally unlike that other modern warfare game
The latest Medal of Honor game – which, let’s face it, is EA’s attempt to take on the all-conquering Modern Warfare 2 – is looking jolly tasty. Even more pleasingly, these new shots of the game contain some of the epic beards promised by the boxart. I’m looking forward to future beardy updates.
In case you need reminding, Medal of Honor sees you filling the boots of a Tier 1 Operative (the “most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield, a living, breathing, precision instrument of war”). With a beard.
It’s also a bit stealthy, because you’ll have to use disguises (perhaps other beards) when meeting informants, something that featured in the very first Medal of Honor game used over a decade ago (except there it was to bypass suspicious German soldiers, and there was an embarrassing shortage of beards).
Perhaps controversially, this one is set in Afghanistan, which may leave it open to accusations of exploiting a legally questionable ongoing confli – BUT HEY LOOK PRETTY GRAPHICS. Expect this between July and September 2010 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Beards.
