New details have emerged today regarding EA’s complete reboot of the Medal of Honor franchise. Abandoning its long established World War Two setting, Medal of Honor will now position players amongst the ranks of Tier 1 Operatives within Afghanistan.
Here's a bit on the two single-player campaigns:
The story itself will be told from the perspective of several different operatives, providing unique experiences across a range of missions set in Afghanistan. Further examples include the use of disguises whilst meeting up with local informants.
Most interesting, is that we learn that Medal of Honor is set to divide its single-player portion into two sections. The first is as previously described, formulating around a series of Elite Op missions that see you on more secretive and specific objective based tasks. Alongside this however, is a Sledgehammer campaign that takes you away from playing as the Tier 1 Elite Ops, and will change the focus of the gameplay of being part of the standard issue military. These are on a far bigger scale than the Elite Op missions, with the player becoming engulfed as a small part of the overall war machine – rather than the tight city/ town environments, you will be placed in wide open Battlefield areas and granted more access to vehicles, helicopters and such like – there’s even a Quad Bike!

Update: (Source: Blue's News) Since this news story was posted earlier today, EA has subsequently clarified that the game will have one seamless single-player campaign. They say the upcoming Medal of Honor game set in the present day "will have one seamless single player campaign." They think the confusion stems from way the game will put the player in the role of more than one character: "You will, however, play as multiple characters that partake in diverse and unique experiences from both the 'Tier 1' and 'Big Military' perspectives; hence the 'Sledgehammer' and 'Scalpel' motifs that were taken out of context."
