Medal of Honor Taliban Controversy Finally Put To Rest Days Before Launch

DS writes, "During a recent EA Media Day we had the chance to catch up with Craig Owens, the marketing director for EA’s upcoming Medal of Honor. In case you don’t know or have been living under a rock for the past month or so, the latest entry or reboot of the Medal of Honor series has been the target of much scrutiny. Mostly from those that don’t really understand gaming really. Because of all of these outside pressures the Taliban name no longer appears in the multiplayer component of the game, yet it will still make it into the single player campaign. Craigs explains why this is so, he also explains that wild beard he’s rocking in the clip. Make sure to watch the entire interview below."

Personally I hate to see freedom of speech take a backseat to marketing, however they gotta do what they gotta do. In truth freedom of speech doesn't exist in large entertainment industries since the money will censor you plenty.

Stop rolling over and having your tummys ticels EA, the guys were were making 6 Days to Faluger etc, you're letting the Taliban win in your own way.

awesome video! I wish that I could sport the Jesus beard like Craig Owens!

Although I wouldn't particularly call myself a fan of the shooter genre, I can't see a reason why EA should have done what they did and basically give in.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled500d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000500d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH499d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad500d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.
