As previously covered on MMOMFG, EA has decided to kick their Medal of Honor series in the butt and give it a little revamp, basing the next title in modern day Afghanistan. This setting sounds like a perfect chance to take a bite out of genre-slaughtering Modern Warfare 2, which is owning most of the awards this year. Medal of Honor places gamers in the shoes of a Tier 1 operative , not to be confused with a Pier One employee, infiltrating the enemy lines in the most hostile of regions. Your main targets? Those filthy Al Qaeda and Taliban. You’ll be so knee deep in shells that you’ll be singing, “Hey Mr. Taliban, Tally-me-banana” until the nukes come home.

The first trailer for the game debuted at Spike TV’s Video Game Awards on Saturday, December 12, highlighting sexy, action packed in-game scenes including a man strapped to a chair with a bomb getting kicked out of a window seconds before explosion. Sounds like the bomb.com, right? I’m sorry for that…

With little known about the plot yet, gamers should look forward to the exciting new shooter in 2010 that will separate the EAers from the Infinity Warders. Okay nerds, let’s pick our sides now. I’ll stand over here with the jocks and push both sides around later right. Muhahaha!
