Medal of Honor Warfighter powered by Frostbite 2.0

Medal of Honor Warfighter executive producer Greg Goodrich told Joystiq this evening that October's Danger Close game is being built using EA DICE's in-house Battlefield engine, Frostbite 2.0. This marks the second use of Frostbite 2.0 outside of its origin studio, following last year's Need for Speed: The Run. After a brief on-stage presentation of the game in action, Goodrich spoke to us about how Danger Close is attempting to distinguish the game visually, despite it being built in the same engine that powers EA's other big shooter. To us, the game didn't look dramatically different from what we've seen in DICE's work with Frostbite 2.0, via BF3. "I don't think the engine dictates on what it's gonna look like," Goodrich said. "We have a wonderful art director who has a very clear vision of the type of lens he wants to tell our story through. The tech is just a canvas, and that canvas is much larger than it's ever been before." MoH Warfighter is being developed entirely in-house at Danger Close this time around, with DICE offering little more than engine support (and perhaps the occasional hearty back pat). Goodrich confirmed to us that he and his team aren't growing the same impressive beards during Warfighter's dev cycle. "My wife won't let me this time," Goodrich said with a smile. "Same guys, less beard."

Good news, the frostbite system in BF3 was a success and is great when you're playing and I'm sure it will be good in MOH too. Medal of Honor has been a great franchise and with frostbite 2.0 this can make the game look much more realistic.

I've played some of the Medal of Honor games but it has never really been one of those games that has had me hooked but with the frostbite system now announced I am going to pick this up when released for sure.

2012 is a great year for gaming.

I hate Medal of Honor, it's just too simple and the storylines are gay. I like playing multiplayer though, that's the only fun part of those games, well some of them, that I find fun.
