Exclusive Medal of Honor Interview - Part 1
We sit down with Executive Producer Greg Goodrich to discuss the series' move to Afghanistan and how it differs from MW2
Written by Andy Griffiths, 23 December 2009
GamerZines: So Afghanistan! What was the thought process behind moving from World War Two to modern combat?
Greg Goodrich: Moving the Medal of Honor franchise into the modern era and setting it against the backdrop of the current war in Afghanistan was a natural step for us. The stories we wanted tell and the individuals who inspired them were all operating in that theatre, so naturally we focused our attention to that region. And although our story is a fictional account told through the lens of a small band of imagined characters, it is based in history and illustrates the harsh, rugged and diverse terrain of modern day Afghanistan.
GZ: How will you alter the experience so it's different from another well known first person shooter franchise?

And although the setting, operational theatre and time frame has moved, the core tenets of authenticity and respect for the soldier still remain the heartbeat of Medal of Honor.
GZ: Is having two different studios handling development challenging?
GG: There are certain things that are logistically more difficult, but having two studios concentrate on their specialities and focus on the things they are most capable and competent in is a luxury that I've not been afforded in the past. I truly believe our audience will see the value in the end product and appreciate having two world class studios doing their very best to give them an experience that they'll not soon forget.
GZ: Having DICE focus on multiplayer seems like a huge statement on intent?
GG: Electronic Arts certainly cares about the Medal of Honor franchise and we are doing our very best both here in Los Angeles and in Sweden to live up to the commitment, support and backing the corporation has given us.
