This classic FPS franchise could be Black Ops to Battlefield's Modern Warfare

by

EA has seen its share of struggles recently with Battlefield franchise. Outside of 2016 Battlefield 1it feels like every major Battlefield the game has come with a number of problems over the past ten years or so. No record made it clear until 2021 Battlefield 2024which certainly contributed to alienating most of the fan base and made them forget how great the series once was.




Given that Battlefield franchise was once considered the cream of the crop of first-person shooters, it's sad to see it go in the direction it has. It looks like EA's first-person shooter output could use a massive bounce back after the last few Battlefield titles. However, perhaps EA could give itself that boost by bringing back another series of first-person shooters.

EA should bring back the Medal of Honor series

It's been way too long since Medal of Honor got a chance

If EA wants to stand a chance in the first-person shooter market, they should think about a revival Medal of Honor series. First created by legendary film director Steven Spielberg, the franchise was a huge success on the original PlayStation, leading to the popularization of World War II shooters. From there, Medal of Honor became a staple franchise during its sixth generation with a number of successful games on the PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox.


Sadly, the franchise fell apart on its own in the early 2010s, especially when it began to follow too closely Call of Dutyspecifically Modern warfare titles. After 2012 Medal of Honor: Warfighterthe series took a long hiatus and returned in 2020 with a VR exclusive title, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. Yet, Medal of Honor the franchise remains wildly popular, and perhaps there's no better time than the present for EA to try again.

Medal of Honor And Battlefield could run in tandem

Bringing back Medal of Honor could provide some solid variation to Battlefield pattern, especially since EA has the potential to follow a cyclical release pattern between titles. A publisher could spend a year promoting and releasing a new one Medal of Honor game, then send that team to work on the next game while promoting the next one Battlefield game. Since Activision naturally trades games in two main Call of Duty sub-franchises – Modern warfare and Black Ops – EA can do the same with two completely different games.


Medal of Honor the return could also make sense in that it provides a unique flavor compared to Battlefield. With few exceptions, Medal of Honor the franchise was set in World War II and some more recently Battlefield titles went through boots-on-ground gameplay, with several of its entries focusing on modern and future warfare. Have Medal of Honor and Battlefield going back to back would give the best of both worlds and give players the ability to choose what types of wars they prefer to fight.

EA has teams to create a new Medal of Honor game

EA can help with his case Medal of Honor because it has teams working on a new game. While DICE would probably be best to stick around Battlefield Respawn Entertainment has clear experience with the first-person shooter genre so far, and could easily be involved in making a new one. After all, the team worked on Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond in 2020 and it might be time to let them handle a non-VR version of the series.

Medal of Honor a return may be a long shot, as the franchise was originally dropped from EA's rotation due to its sales. However, there is no better time than now for EA to deliver Medal of Honor back with guns blazing. WITH Medal of Honor and Battlefield going back to back EA could re-establish itself in the first person shooter market.
