Why did you decide take Medal of Honour out of World War II?
Sean Decker: I think it really came down to we’d told a lot of stories about World War II, and it was just time to move on. There’s been a lot of good stories about soldiers that are available to tell in the current day. Looking at the medium, people play videogames today. It used to be you’d read books, and then you’d go to the movies, then eventually television, and videogames is another way to get stories across and it’s the medium of the day. We thought it was worth telling those stories. I think, again, it was trying to stay out of all the politics. There’s been a lot of really good movies – the Gotham Awards just came out and Hurt Locker was the top one. It has nothing to do with the war in Iraq and why it started, or anything else – it’s just about the men on the ground, what they go through on a day-to-day basis, and their emotions. That’s where we wanted to stay. It’s just about the men on the ground. We never talk about the politics, how this all got started, how it fits into
