Sean Decker of Electronic Arts (EA), Los Angeles, said in an interview with incgamers on the restart of the Medal of Honor series for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The first person shooter will be leaving the scene of the first three parts, and not in the Second World War, but to play in the present. The player assumes the role of so-called Tier 1 Special Forces in Afghanistan. Contemporary armed conflicts as a scenario for video game developers are often more delicate than historical wars, and kindle public debate.

Decker, however, know the criticism of himself that it might be in Medal of Honor to a propaganda game. The title is merely putting out the work of the armed forces in operations, as another example of the Oscar-nominated film "The Hurt Locker" (in Germany called the film "Deadly Command") makes. Decker justifies the theme of the game: "I think it tries to completely keep out of political matters. It has nothing to do with the Iraq war or its beginning. It is only by the men in theater, their everyday lives and their emotions. "
