EA has stamped an October 12 release date on its Medal of Honor reboot.  A European debut is scheduled for October 15.

Destined for a PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 release, this reboot takes franchise in a bold new direction, entrenching it in the present-day warfare space. Set in Afghanistan, EA has collaborated closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community in an effort to craft the “most authentic modern war experience possible.”

If there’s any franchise able to tackle the sales juggernaut that is Call of Duty, it’s Medal of Honor.
