Medal of Honor – Patterson Returns

The Patterson name is quite a familiar one in the Medal of Honor series, infact Lt. Jimmy Patterson was the very first playable character way back in 1999 with the first game.

Throughout the various games he’s appeared in, this American soldier found his way into the various battles in the European Theater of Operations, storming Omaha Beach on D-Day, participating in Operation Market Garden, and acting as an agent of the Office of Strategic Services, responsible for many covert operations that occurred throughout the Medal of Honor series.

The Patterson name lives on in the latest iteration of the series, we will see if Sgt. Jim Patterson lives up to the name in less than a week when the game is released.

Pretty cool, can just about remember playing the first one on the PC.

Cronnie5353d ago

My favourite character from the original is still William Shakespeare ;)

RedMist115353d ago

Haha, the Velociraptor was good too.

Gamer41115353d ago

Awesome, can't wait until next week!

Ace Killa 085353d ago

was there ever a name for the character you played as in European Assault?

LinuxGuru5353d ago

I knew this from one of the announcement trailers a long time ago.

The thing I want to know is though...is this supposed to be the old Jimmy Patterson's grandson or something? What's up with that?

xX TriiCKy Xx5353d ago

What the hell is their fascination with the name Patterson anyway?

LinuxGuru5353d ago

Who knows, lol

Probably just a random name they pulled out of a hat when they made the original Medal of Honor game

CobraKai5353d ago

It sounds like a classic name for a WWII vet.

ReservoirDog3165353d ago

I think CoD always uses the name Price too. Must be something fun developers do.

And yeah, definitely sounds like a WWII vet's name.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist208d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981208d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2207d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist207d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981207d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno207d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

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."

banger88410d ago

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.

FPS_D3TH409d ago

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

PrecursorOrb409d ago (Edited 409d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan408d ago

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.

SlothLordPootus905d ago

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.

SonyStyled905d 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

Levii_92905d ago

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.

Iceball2000905d 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.

HeliosHex905d ago (Edited 905d ago )

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.

FGHFGHFGH905d ago

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

MadLad905d 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.
