I don’t know why Electronic Arts is so insistent that they need a “Modern Warfare” game with the Medal of Honor title. They already have one with the Battlefield series.

This new Medal of Honor (sans subtitle) will be “the most authentic modern war experience” yet according to EA. The single player campaign will be handled by EA Los Angeles and DICE working their magic with multiplayer component. They’re planning to release this for Fall 2010 with more info to be unveiled at the 2009 Spike VGAs.

In the meantime, they’ve released this teaser of a guy with an epic beard. Santa?

Again, let me reiterate that EA/DICE will have at least two modern warfare themed shooters in 2010: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and now Medal of Honor. And if Battlefield 3 launches in 2010 as well; that’s a whole lot of modern warfare from one publisher.

E3 2009 officially starts on June 2nd and as per normal, there were leaks

This year’s E3 2009 may be decidedly less surprising thanks to numerous leaks. Many of the leaks centralized around Sony and Microsoft. I’m going to take some time brief you all on some of noteworthy ones.

Sony

PSP go Confirmed

After 1UP’s story, confirmation from Ars Technica’s mole, the June 2009 edition of Sony’s very own Qore “online magazine” confirmed the PSP go. It was not on purpose and the dude responsible for PlayStation Network Store releases will surely be reprimanded for this accidental release.

First there was the teaser. Now we get teaser to a teaser walkthrough for games press at E3 2009. Talk about hype.

Well it worked.

Despite its flaws, there were moments of Mass Effect which I really enjoyed. Like the music! So good.

It’s a teaser. MW2 releasing Nov. 10, 2009.

So what you’ll see below is a demonstration of Crytek’s skills with console hardware. The music is epic, the visuals are epic and I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of it when GDC 2009 continues this week.
