E3 2010: Medal of Honor multiplayer unveiled, beta coming June 21 [UPDATE: Trailer!]

From high above the stage at the Orpheum Theater in L.A., a row of monitors descended. Eighteen players entered, and EA showed off Medal of Honor's DICE-developed multiplayer for the first time. The game moved fast - here's what we saw:

  • DICE's experience with Bad Company 2 is very evident, but there's Modern Warfare influence in there, too.
  • Measures have been taken to discourage camping.
  • 24 players are supported.
  • There's something akin to MW's"kill streak rewards" - we saw a Tomahawk Missile guided into the ground.
  • It doesn't look like the MoH campaign. Why? DICE is using their own engine, while EALA is using Unreal, andto ensure thateach team is able to focus on making a great game, they're not too concerned if the two modes aren't perfectly synchronized.
