Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail.
They are the Tier 1 Operators.
Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and has been developed with Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players will step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile battlefield conditions of present day Afghanistan.
There is a new enemy. There is a new war. There is a new warrior. He is Tier 1.

EA GOES TO WAR WITH ALL-New ‘Medal of Honor’
EA Reinvents Franchise with New Development Teams, New Soldier, New Setting
LOS ANGELES, California – December 2, 2009 – Medal of Honor™ returns to the front lines, this time in today’s war. For the first time in the franchise’s 10-year history, Medal of Honor is leaving the WWII theatre and putting players in war-torn Afghanistan. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed that in 2010, Medal of Honor, an all-new first-person shooter game, will introduce the Tier 1 Operator: a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle. The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience. Medal of Honor depicts modern military operations through the lens of a small band of fictional characters. Inspired by real events, Medal of Honor reveals the mission of today’s most elite American soldier – his will, his mindset and his uncompromising professionalism.
Medal of Honor is being built with a best-in-class single-player campaign. The Medal of Honor development team at EALA has been hand-selected by the studio leadership of General Manager Sean Decker, Executive Producer Greg Goodrich and Senior Creative Director Rich Farrelly. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise at EA DICE. This team will develop the multiplayer experience of Medal of Honor. These two studios are coming together to deliver a world-class Medal of Honor that is poised to re-set the franchise for a new generation.
“When we first set out to reinvent Medal of Honor, we wanted to stay true to its roots of authenticity and respect for the soldier but bring it into today’s war. The Tier 1 Operator is the most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield. He is a living, breathing, precision instrument of war.” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, Medal of Honor. “We are honored to have the rare opportunity to work closely with these men to create a game that shares their experience.”
“EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers’ story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today’s war and today’s elite soldiers via today’s most relevant medium – videogames,” said Sean Decker, VP and General Manager of EALA. “We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre.”

Beard Story

In early December, EA revealed the cover for its Medal of Honor reboot and all anyone could say was: "BEARD!" Well, after months of trying to get an explanation of how that grizzly (Adams) decision went down, Craig Owens, director of marketing at EA Los Angeles, has finally delivered the answers. Here are the declassified details of our exchange:
Joystiq: How did you select the cover image for the Medal of Honor reboot?
Craig Owens: What you see today as the key art (or box front image) is the result of a long process that's been going on for nearly a year now. When we set out to reboot the Medal of Honor franchise, we knew that the key art of the new game had to accomplish two very important things. First, it needed to stay true to the authenticity that the brand is known for. Secondly, it had to be unexpected not only for the brand but also for the shooter genre. After several months of reviewing many, many concepts, it wasn't until this past summer that the new face of Medal of Honor was born. During an agency pitch meeting with several creative agencies, our current partner – Ignition Creative based in Santa Monica, California – revealed a concept, using a photographed model with this real, epic beard. That concept was nearly identical to the final image you see today. When the development and marketing team first saw it, we immediately knew that was our guy. He was authentic to a Tier 1 Operator and unexpected for both MOH and the current characters out there in the gaming space.
Are you surprised by the reaction to the beard?
We always thought the beard had the potential to be an iconic element of our key art and of the reboot of Medal of Honor. It's been fun reading the many comments online and we are excited that most gamers are reacting as positively as they are. It's also been interesting to follow the "Is this guy real?" threads which have activated the military enthusiasts (and even active military) to jump into the conversation and confirm that this Tier 1 Operator does indeed exist and that his "look" is authentic to these real soldiers.
Who is the model, and is he based on this "Cowboy" soldier as speculated?
As you suggest, the soldier depicted in the Medal of Honor key art is in fact a model. Based on several discussions with our real-life Tier 1 Operator consultants early in the creative process, we discussed what kind of weapons and gear they typically use on their operations. We also searched the internet for any imagery around these elite soldiers and quickly found out that it was difficult to find anything significant with most images of these elite soldiers blurred out. The image that some gamers are posting on the boards -- this speculated "Cowboy" soldier -- was an image that did come up in our online search. After a short time, it was clear that many of these soldiers chose to grow out their beards to better blend in with the locals. Once we found our model, we worked very closely with our Tier 1 Operator consultants to make sure the uniform, gear, weapon, and beard were as authentic as possible. The result is the authentic representation of the Tier 1 Operator that we released during our announcement earlier this month.
Will the bearded soldier on the game box be in the game?
Absolutely. In fact, the executive producer of Medal of Honor -- Greg Goodrich -- confirmed this in his Q&A about the announce trailer that aired during the Spike VGAs in December where he stated, "The character on our box cover was not featured in our first trailer. But I can confirm that he is indeed a character in our game and will be revealed (along with his highly skilled and very specialized Tier 1 unit) in the near future."

Post op de Medal of Honor forum van een EA Represantive
Hello MOH fans!
Now that the craziness of the Spike VGA's is behind us, I finally have a moment to shoot message out to you all. I have been lurking the forum for quite a while and wanted to let you all know that the team is really paying attention to the fans and trying our best to do right by the community. We are all very proud to have the opportunity to contribute to a strong franchise with such a loyal fan base and, as Greg said in his response to rudedog1968's open letter, we will do our best to be as communicative as possible, whenever possible.
We have a talented, passionate and dedicated team focused on making a great Medal of Honor experience worthy of the roots of the series. So...Keep the feedback coming... Though we may not post or respond as quickly/frequently as we'd like, we are here and we are listening.
Best Regards,
Rich
