Medal of Honour dragged into the 21st Century


EA's Medal of Honour series is about set to follow the lead set by Call of Duty as it sets its sights on moving to the modern warfare era.

This is according to a french site which claims that discovered the first snippets of information on Medal of Honor: Operation Anaconda in an EA questionnaire.
Operation Anaconda will be set in Afghanistan in 2002, says Jeux Video, where the real-life mission of the same name took place. At least it's not World War II.

The operation was apparently one of the "greatest disasters of modern history," ending with crashed helicopter and crew stranded in the Taliban-filled Afghan mountains.

According to the report, Operation Anaconda will put you in the role of multiple soldiers, including those involved in mortar and drone attacks, as well as snipers on the front line.

The report also promises "60 customisable weapons" for Anaconda, which sounds like an awful lot to us.
So far EA hasnt said anything about the matter so for the time being this can only be filed as a rumour, hopefully we will hear some news soon. If true this will be quite a drastic change of direction for the series which has been focused purely on WW2 since its debut in 1999.
