In an interview with MCV, European EA exec Jens Uwe Intat makes some bold predictions about the upcoming Medal of Honor reboot. "We’re not going to outdo Call of Duty with this year’s Medal of Honor but it will get dangerously close," said Intat. He continued with "Actually, our long-term strategy in most genres is just to have the best game with the biggest audience. We already have that in the football sector and the racing market – although we can make Need for Speed much bigger. And we certainly want to get back on top for shooters with Medal of Honor."

Sounds like the company is definitely taking aim at Activision's juggernaut, but how realistic is it? With mega-sellers like Reach and Black Ops releasing this fall, will FPS fans be interested in a series that's been dormant for years? In terms of quality, you'll hear our thoughts when our review goes online in a couple of weeks. As for now, you'll have to go with Ice T's review (spoiler...he says it's wack).
