Medal of Honor reboot marks the end of an era

Look at that beard. That beard screams freedom. It also screams “we're in Afghanistan with zero idea of how to win or how to get out.” The beard is the star of Medal of Honor, EA's rebooting (please consider “rebooting” to be a noun here) of a franchise that fell off the cliff, oh, after Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. It's due next year for the usual platforms; more info will be revealed at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, which I wouldn't watch if my life were on the line. The game, to be set in Afghanistan, is said to be inspired by “real events,” i.e., the sales of Modern Warfare.
