His case was simple: to base a video game on a sacred military honor was sacrilegious. After learning of the video game’s title, Bucha sent a strongly worded letter to Spielberg and his team. He was also president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. A Vietnam vet, Bucha was awarded the Medal of Honor. The meeting was between producers, Spielberg, and a man named Paul Bucha. Spielberg with Tom Hanks on the set of Saving Private Ryan. Two years later, the game was almost done, but the project was almost scrapped because of one angry letter. Spielberg watched his son play GoldenEye and recognized the potential for video games as a medium for storytelling. Having entered the post-production phase of Saving Private Ryan, Spielberg wanted to share the drama and history of World War II to the younger generations, who were barred from the film due to its M-rating. The first Medal of Honor game was envisioned in late 1997 by Steven Spielberg, who was exploring the potential of “interactive entertainment”. One of the most influential shooters of all time almost never even happened.
The story behind Medal of Honor’s impact and its drift into obscurity is not only dramatic but also offers insight into why modern blockbuster FPS series are struggling to retain players. Yet I’d be surprised if the majority of gamers under eighteen had even heard of the Medal of Honor series, let alone played it, which is notable considering that Medal of Honor was the Big Bang of the military shooter genre. These games have become so ubiquitous, the series so frequently produced, that it’s almost hard to remember a time when they didn’t exist, especially for millennials. This is especially the case with shooters: Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. Their titles, developers, or characters become household names.
