We've known for a while now that Danger Close has been working on a follow-up to its Medal of Honor reboot since its release in 2010. The latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine finally outs the sequel, titled Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The FPS sequel is expected to arrive in October.

Although much of the game's reveal is set for Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco next month, the magazine (via Game Informer) spills the beans on a few details.

Unlike the previous Medal of Honor game, Warfighter will run on the Frostbite engine, the same engine that powered Battlefield 3. (Medal of Honor's campaign used Unreal Engine, while the multiplayer used Frostbite.) In addition, the game is being wholly developed by Danger Close, with multiplayer duties no longer being passed onto DICE.

Expect to hear much more next month.

        I had a lot of fun with the multiplayer. Sometimes the map design wasn't so great, but in general they were good. Getting a good score chain going and unleashing hell on your enemies was always awesome. I like the way they split them into offensive and support rewards, where the offensive ones had the potential to give you more points if you get a lot of kills or nothing if you wiff with it, while the support ones give you a set number of points every time and benefit the whole team. I think for the most part it was really well designed.

        Complaints about the over-reliance on scripted events and invisible walls in the single player campaign are understandable, but they didn't really limit my enjoyment of the game. I liked the more realistic story of the game compared to the patently absurd and bone-dead stupid path that Call of Duty has gone now.

          I thought the MP levels were super small. I miss the good classic MoH maps with LONG cooridors and choke points. Of course, its a WWII map in the classic version, but you'd think that they could find lots of open areas in the desert for the new one.

            It depends on the game mode. The TDM maps were kinda small, but the other modes had much bigger ones.

      Frostbite 2 engine powered BF3, which they didn't use nearly the full power of it because of *cough* consoles *cough*.

      Dear EA,

      Please stop making Medal of Honor games set in modern times. The reason the series was so popular at the start (back on the PS1) was because it offered up innovative gameplay (at the time) for a genre that has seen very little.

      The setting, the mood, and the pacing were all fantastic. This "me too" style of trying to be like every other shooter out there now of being set in a fast-paced modern era just does not work for the Medal of Honor series.

      For the love of God, please go back to the roots of the series. I might actually give a damn about this series again if you do this one, little favor.

      Thanks. -hugs and kisses-

        Demon, if you are seriously suggesting moh series goes back to the ww1/ww2 genre then you need a right kick in the pants. The industry moved away from that era because of over saturation in the market, and because gamers got quite sick and tired of every fps being set in ww2. If you want games that go back into the old days, checkout the call of duty games made by treyarch.

          I'll take WWII over modern anyday. Even WWI. Weapons required a little more skill to use. MoH had some sweet rifles only servers (no sniper rifles, just good old rifles) that were a blast to play on.

      Yeah, I was thinking the same thing..just redo bf1942 but with Frostbite 2 engine..now that would be amaaaazing! Or hit up re-doing Medal of Honor Allied Assault (one of the best fps ever!) with the frostbite 2 engine. I say bring ww2 back, because the market it wayyyyyyy to saturated with modern warfare stuff now. Last time I played a ww2 shooter was like back in '05...it's been about 7 years..bring that crap back! Or, Korean War would be sick too.

        It won't be because it will be panned by critics because it doesn't have COD attached to it, and "gamers" will see it doesn't have COD attached to it, and because of this, MOH will fail :(

      Looks like we will be visiting exotic locales such as "the wide open field", "the wide open desert", and "the place with wreckage". Then again, maybe I should be praising them for keeping it more believable than Modern Warfare. I don't even know anymore. Videogames.

        NO. They need to make sure BF3 keeps running well and gets good consistent DLC. Starting to see EA's plans though. MOH one year, BF the next. Next will probably be BC3 though.
