Medal of Honor, the series reboot developed by Danger Close and DICE, “didn’t meet our quality expectations,” admitted Electronic Arts Europe vice president Patrick Soderlund to Eurogamer.
As most shooter fans would know by now, the latest Medal of Honor was released last month to mostly warm but not exactly ecstatic reviews. And while Soderlund defended the game against what he thinks are worse reviews than it deserved, he also acknowledged the series will have to get better in the future if it’s going to seriously compete against rival series like Call of Duty.
“Medal of Honor is to some extent judged harsher than it should be. The game is better than today’s reviews are indicating,” Soderlund said. “What I can say is the game didn’t meet our quality expectations. In order to be successful in that space, we’re going to have to have a game that is really, really strong.”
