New Medal of Honor Recreates 2002 Afghani Conflict?

According to some French folk over at JeuxVideo, EA's next Medal of Honor will be called Operation Anaconda and focus on the 2002 military operation of the same name:

Operation Anaconda is the code name for an operation in early March 2002 in which the United States military, along with allied Afghan military forces, attempted to destroy al-Qaeda and Taliban forces in the Shahi-Kot Valley and Arma Mountains southeast of Zormat. This operation was the first large-scale battle in the United States war in Afghanistan since the Battle of Tora Bora in December 2001. This was the first operation in the Afghanistan theater to involve a large number of U.S. conventional (i.e. non-Special Operations Forces) forces participating in direct combat activities.

Between March 2 and March 16, 2002, 1,700 airlifted U.S. troops and 1,000 pro-government Afghan militia battled over 1,000 al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters and obtained control of the valley. The Taliban and al-Qaida forces entrenched themselves in caves and ridges in the mountainous terrain, and fired on U.S. forces attempting to secure the area with mortars and heavy machine guns. Afghan Taliban commander Maulavi Saifur Rehman Mansoor later led Taliban reinforcements to join the battle. U.S. forces had estimated the strength of the rebels in the Shahi-Kot Valley at 150 to 200, but later information suggested the actual strength was of 500 to 1,000 fighters. The U.S. forces estimated that they had killed at least 500 fighters over the duration of the battle.

WW2, plz, jesus...not again.......

that scenario is stretched to the limit...soon its going to tear apart
...deadend...... to many games play in WW2,gamers wont see that shlt anymore......

i think COD 4 did a pretty good job refering to the scenario
well i guess thats what it will be about in future....

all about fighting new age terrorism....

i know it sounds crazy, as real soldiers die out there every day, but i would love to see a game playing in IRAQ

including Suicide bombers..... Car bombs...... and all that stuff

They ought to do one about Somalia and the whole 'Blackhawk Down' fiasco. That fight was the biggest nightmare US soldiers have been involved in since Vietnam, nothing even compares. Just getting out alive was a victory.

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and Army Ranger: Mogadishu ....

[Trey]

I thought I remembered a Black Hawk Down game but I didn't see it in the 'B's... Were either of them any good?
