Medal Of Honor Dev Using Frostbite 2 For New FPS

NowGamer: Danger Close is hiring for an unannounced FPS which will be powered by the Frostbite 2 engine and "focused on multiplayer"...

[Dart89]

Yes can't wait to hear more about this game.

[Pixelated_Army]

MOH tweak that fukin' MP the damage was far to high or was it the health levels, regardless you couldn't move two feet without getting shot in the face; make the campaign longer and more challenging and you're golden.

MOH SP was as sweet and looked oh so pretty, moar please.

BFBC2's MP looks really good so I can only imagine what BF3 will look with 2011 tech behind it.

[skyward]

Has to be MOH2. I'm actually quite interested now Frostbite 2 is invovled...

[Downtown boogey]

Frostbite 2 is nearly a revolution... Now the gap in graphics between quality titles -even third-party multi-platform games like BF3 is- and something like movie tie-ins and just crappy games like Quantum Theory is going to be HUGE!

The standards have risen.

[Shackdaddy836]

Glad they are just using one engine now.

[crzyjackbauer]

the thing is. the BF3 trailer just looks like a next gen COD, if the title of BF3 would not have poped up at the end i would figure it was COD
the gameplay looks the same
both MOH and BF3 are trying to mimic COD
we need something more inovative

[SnakeMustDie]

It will be hard to differentiate both MoH2 and BF3 if they both use the Frostbite 2 engine. They should at least return MoH2 back to its WW2 roots and along with the Frostbite 2 engine it will be an awesome game.

[jimmins]

MoH concentrates more on infantry MP while BF is all about the huge levels, vehicles etc

[SnakeMustDie]

Normal people won't see the difference because they are both Military shooters set in the modern era even when the gameplay of both games are different.

I don't want MoH2 to be set in the Modern Era rather I hope they bring it back to it's WW2 roots.

[Shackdaddy836]

I agree. There are absolutely no (good) WWII games coming out any time soon(except red orchestra but thats a different type of game).

I at least want to have an option for a WWII game. Besides, MoH is good at WWII games (usually).

[hot111]

another shooter

[Belasco]

One wonders how great a tps would look using this engine.

[Trroy]

MoH looked good before.

It was the horribly buggy scripting that upset me with that game. They should fix that.

[plb]

My main issue with MOH is that the maps sucked

[Burning_Finger]

I need a break from MODERN SHOOTERS.. Give something like Ancient ROME FPS, where you used sling shot and Javelin as a weapons using the Frostbite 2.0 Engine.. :)

[maxqubit]

Frostbite 2 with 12 vs 12 infantry-only battles.

If the MoH1 gameplay is tweaked a bit, the maps a tad larger, the gamemodes and maps and guns a bit more. And if they managed to keep the thing basic as opposed to the trash of CoD lately.

... well you can have a very good shooter which can easily earn its place next to BF3. Because leaving out the vehicles/choppers makes the experience much more balanced as it is inf versus inf only

I loved MoH1, played 100 hours online.

I see a pattern here. EA is really gearing up to completely smash CoD franchise to oblivion. Crysis2, Bulletstorm, BF3 and MoH2 ... they all attack CoD from different angles SP and MP. If done properly MoH2 certainly can play its role in 'dethroning CoD' :)

(btw, I'm not the ww2 type, never liked that. Vietnam? Ok, Iraq1990 ok, Modern times ok ... but WW2, no, not for me)

[BLACKBOIJONES]

I dont know why i have never been a MOH fan. I think i will pass on this game as well. But is good to see the Frostbite 2 being used..I have a feeling that this Gen of gaming still has some new IP/Games sequels that are going to shock us in terms of graphics apart from games like killzone 3, god of war 3, uncharted 2...e.t.c

It will be very interesting to see his year E3.

[SnakeMustDie]

MoH is currently missing its "spark" that it's predecessors have. It was known as one of the best WW2 series out there. MoH2 should return back to its roots considering BF3 already takes care of the Modern military setting.

[DEagle-izer]

Oh that would be quite funny, seeing as Treyarch has taken care of the WWII and Cold war setting.
That is a direct competition now that you all mentioned it. We don't need EA bringing out 2 modern Warfare shooters to take on one tired franchise by AV (Activision).

[RyuDrinksTheDew]

thats cool to hear, cant wait to see what it is.

going to be interesting seeing what another Dev can do with Frostbite 2.

[Infiny]

Nice, i actually liked the Medal of Honor from last year, it wasnt the best game ever but it was fun and i had a blast with it. Cant wait to see what's next, and now even more excited since it's using Frostbite 2. G

[Caleb_141]

I personally think that EA should focus the MOH franchise on creating more close-quarters, intense experiences ala COD. They shouldn't focus on beating COD by copying what it does, they should instead just make an intense and worthy SP camapaign with a good story, and then develop an awesome MP like COD4 imo (in the sense of map design as I felt that COD4's MP maps all offered something different and were down to earth - they were believable to put it simply).

Then they should make the BF franchise aiming for the big epic battles with all the vehicles. Pretyy much what they're doing already.

I think its a great move that they're using the same engine tbh; Frostbite 2 is one amazing engine and by using it in a game like MOH where they'll hopefully follow my ideas, I can only imagine how intense it will be with smaller more detailed maps. Also, they should 100% use the same studio to make both the SP and MP side of the game as then the game is following a single vision instead of 2 different perspectives on the genre as with the most recent MOH (which is where I felt it suffered).

The FPS industry needs a new king... and I think that the MOH/BF collaboration would more than work in favour of EA. Imagine if they copied COD, but instead alternated the franchises every year? MOH one year, with the close quarters combat. Then BF the next with their huge wide open combat... I think that it'd really keep the industry fresh and you won't be seeing the same crap repeated over and over...

[claterz]

Another military FPS, awesomeeee!!!

/s

[S_C]

Glad to hear it, i enjoyed the SP in the last game but the MP did my head in with the sniper fest on there, hope they sort that out for the next game and Frostbite 2 is looking freaking amazing. Homefront, Crysis 2, Battlefield 3 And Now This..... Happy Days!

[damnyouretall]

i feel ya. cause of the textures i couldnt even see the snipers really.

[damnyouretall]

danger close isnt that bad,,ive seen worst developers. frostbite 2.0 is pretty dang cool. id still like to see it run on a console though.
