Electronic Arts hopes Medal of Honor can be a "sustainable long-term franchise", with the upcoming 'Warfighter' looking to offer an "authentic experience of being in combat".
Alongside death, taxes and terrible Adam Sandler movies, video game sequels are just another crushing inevitability of life. Sequels and franchises are the lifeblood of the industry, so you can bet any halfway successful game will be aiming towards at least five more follow-ups and spin-offs in pursuit of more delicious money.
Yet even major franchises tend to run themselves into the ground eventually, where they can either reboot themselves and come back stronger than ever (think the new Tomb Raider games) or stay buried in the past.
This new Top 5 video series is starting with a bang, and quite possibly some teabagging, as I run through my favorite first-person shooters.

The video game industry is one based on the backs of its scholarly properties. Like movies and books, it’s a space that draws vigorously on strong sequels and innovative new thoughts. Notwithstanding, not all sequels surpass the enormity of their forerunners, and a chosen few of them check the start of the end for their →
Assassin's Creed series was ruined after Black Flag, Ubisoft made it annually game. I played Dead Space 1 and 2; were awesome but Dead Space 3 failed to make gosip. As MOH Warfighter was good game
I preferred Revelations over Brotherhood. AC Brotherhood had such a boring story while AC Revelations tied everything up very well for Ezio and Altair, if I was going to pick a game where it all started going downhill for me it would be AC 3 but despite that AC 1,2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 4, Rogue and Syndicate are all good games.
Lost Planet as far as I remember went like dead space with the third game (round based type play) it just felt like it was just a map clearing game with multiple horde survival. Call Of duty went and died long ago. Ghosts didn't help its cause but now we have three development houses it's going from bad to worse. GTA to me anyway was saved with five to me the driving up until then was awful. Mario and sonics died along time ago to in my eyes.
I like the look of the new game, but I wish Medal of Honor would go back to its WWII routes. I mean, I'm really getting bored with the modern genre. I miss WWII.
I want to sneak into a German bar again dressed as a Nazi officer or sneak onto a German U-boat inside a crate...
Also, I would love to see how a WWII game would look with FB2 engine graphics.
EA should try to do more experimentation with Medal of Honor if they want it to stay relevant. Right now, it's just a lesser version of Battlefield. If they are going to have two games that are way too similar, then they should just put Medal of Honor to rest.
I played through Medal of Honor on the 360. It's not much different than Battlefield. I think EA hopes the whole special forces type missions on Medal of Honor are different enough to set the game apart from Battlefield. The game is fun, but it really isn't all that different atleast I don't think it is.
E.A., weren't pleased with it either ;)
maybe let these guys do sp for bf4, and let dice focus on mp :)
