There are a lot of FPS titles that are given modern settings, but most fall short of being truly realistic. Rich Farley, creative director for Danger Close, says that Medal of Honor: Warfighter manages a higher level of authenticity.
“Something we’ve revived recently, since the last Medal of Honor, is this notion of our core tenets of respect for the soldier, telling the soldier’s story from the soldier’s point of view, and kind of a commitment to authenticity, and really trying not to deviate from that and trying to cement our identity in the shooter realm,” says Farley. “Other people have soldiers and weapons systems, and they do a great job of them, but I think what sets us apart is telling the soldier’s story from the soldier’s point of view, and we really take that seriously and dive into it. I would argue that story’s one of the most important things in Warfighter, it’s what really sets us apart as a player experience and an entertainment experience.”
