Medal of Honor Gets a Reboot. Heads to Afghanistan.

Playstation 3 boxart for Medal of Honor

Electronic Arts has officially announced that the Medal of Honor franchise is getting the long-rumored modern day reboot.  Set in present day Afghanistan, it will feature "Tier 1 operators" who operate in obscurity and secrecy but are even more deadly and highly-trained than the best of the Special Forces.  The tagline for the game is "I fight with my mind.  My hands and my weapons are extensions of my will."

EA promises that the single-player gameplay will be inspired by actual events and will be developed with the help of the Special Forces community.  They even take a shot across the bow of Activision's Call of Duty franchice by calling the new Medal of Honor "the most authentic modern war experience."

Set to be released in 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3, the single-player will be handled by EA Los Angeles while the multiplayer portion of the game will be handled by Battlefield franchise experts DICE.

More information and a full trailer will be released as part of Spike TV's VGA award show on December 12th.  See the teaser trailer below.
