14 DAY TRIAL // Medal of Honor: Warfighter might be more than six months from its planned launch date, but the development team is already eager to make it clear that actual real-world Tier One Operators are heavily involved in the development process for the first-person shooter.
Nate, one of the former Tier One operators, involved with the first game in the rebooted series and now consulting for the second, told GameHunters that, “Through the growing pains of that last and the amount of money they were able to raise, it really opened up their eyes on how tastefully they were able to portray the men and really opened up the door.”
He also offered some hints on the story of Medal of Honor: Warfighter, saying that, “It is meant to be entertaining, and we hope people really enjoy that, but in the process there’s a lot of misconceptions that will be stripped and there’s a lot of clichés that will be destroyed.
“And there’s a lot of humor that will be injected. But at the end of it you hope people get a sense of wow this is not who I thought these guys were. They are very likeable, very approachable very family-oriented guys.”
The development team at Danger Close has disclosed that the story of Warfighter will be linked to something called PETN, aka pentaerythritol tetranitrate, a new type of very powerful explosive that is used against military targets but could be adapted for terror attacks.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter plans to have all its missions based on real-world events, pushing the player to think about the real threats that the military men face when battling external threats like Al Qaeda.
The game is built creating the Frostbite 2 game engine from DICE and will be launched during October for the PC and home consoles.
