Medal of Honor: Warfighter is a first-person shooter video game developed by Danger Close Games and published by Electronic Arts. It is a sequel to 2010's series reboot Medal of Honor and the fourteenth installment in the Medal of Honor series. The game's single-player campaign picks up where Medal of Honor (2010) left off, as it follows the Navy SEALs from the previous game's AFO Neptune.

Development of the sequel began after the 2010 reboot was commercially successful. During development, Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) members who worked as consultants for the game were disciplined for releasing classified information. The title was announced on February 23, 2012, and was released in October 2012 on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.

Upon release, Warfighter received mixed reviews, with praise for the visuals and the use of Frostbite 2, but criticism aimed at the low texture quality on consoles, glitches, confusing storyline and poor artificial intelligence. The game sold 3 million copies by January 2013, but was a commercial failure for EA, resulting in the Medal of Honor series being taken out of rotation.
