Medal Of Honor Will It Ever Return

Medal Of Honor Will It Ever Return?

While all the focus in the coming weeks is, of course, going to be on Call Of Duty Black Ops IIII and Battlefield V. I was thinking that you could make the argument that neither of those games would exist if it was not for Medal Of Honor.

The first game in the Medal Of Honor series was released back in 1999 on the original PlayStation. It was a huge deal at the time and even had Steven Spielberg penning the story for it. From 1999 until 2007 there was an incredible 14 Medal Of Honor games released! The series was actually very popular, but by the time Medal Of Honor: Airborne was released in 2007 many people had moved onto Call Of Duty and Battlefield.

The Medal Of Honor series was rested for a couple of years and then brought back in 2010 with a reboot of the series. While the reboot did not blow critics away it was generally well received and it actually sold pretty well. Well enough to get a sequel two years later called Medal Of Honor War Fighter. This game was a bit of a mess. It had a terrible campaign, atrocious AI and it was more of a chore to play than it was fun. Add to this the fact it sold very poorly and it was a nail in the coffin for the series.

EA and DICE are hard at work on their Battlefield and Battlefront series now. So I would be very surprised if Medal Of Honor made a return, but maybe one day it could. The last game in the series really did damage the brand so if there is a new game, a reboot would be most likely what it would be. It is a shame it is not as fondly remembered as it should be as current first person shooters owe a lot to Medal Of Honor.
