Medal of Honor: Warfighter Gameplay Trailer

Electronic Arts and Danger Close have today unveiled the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Medal of Honor: Warfighter - the direct sequel to 2010's slow-burning hit Medal of Honor, and this particular writer is now completely stoked at the prospect of playing another strong modern take on the Medal of Honor franchise. The official low-down of the game reads like this...

Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warfighters are called on when the mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators. They are real, living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. And they exist on an international level for various nations around the globe. In the U.S., their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds.The new Medal of Honor Warfighter game is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite, international community. This personal story was written by actual Tier 1 Operators while deployed overseas. In it, players will step into the boots of these elite warfighters and apply their unique skill sets to track down a real global threat, in real international locations, sponsored by real enemies. It doesn€™t get any more authentic then Medal of Honor Warfighter.

Here's the trailer, in all of its stunning, bullet-riddled glory: http://youtu.be/T5MtlQlQUM8 Holy. Shit. Forget Call of Duty and Battlefield: this year is all about Medal of Honor again.
