Electronic Arts announced today Medal of Honor Airborne, the newest installment from EA's critically-acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise which was credited with pioneering the First-Person Shooter (FPS) WWII genre when it debuted in 1999. While building on the key tenets of the franchise including historical accuracy and authenticity, Medal of Honor Airborne is set to redefine the series by introducing players to an entirely new way of experiencing a WWII FPS – namely the fully interactive Airborne experience. As the first game in the Medal of Honor series to be released on next generation platforms, Medal of Honor Airborne will ship to stores in Winter 2006 under the EA brand for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2 computer entertainment systems, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, Xbox videogame system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.
Step into the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the 82nd Airborne Division and engage in battles throughout Europe. From rocky beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany, each mission begins behind enemy lines, with an intense and fully interactive airdrop. Your ability to determine your own starting point dramatically changes the way each mission plays out. View the entire operation from the air, and then control your parachute to choose your landing spot. On the ground, gather your senses and assess the terrain. A wide variety of authentic, customizable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Choose your path in this free roaming FPS environment. Medal of Honor Airborne will also feature exceptionally photo-realistic characters, adding to the intensity of the cinematic, story-driven game. "Medal of Honor Airborne is a step in a new direction for the franchise. While integrating our state-of-the-art, next-gen technology into every aspect of the game, we are introducing innovations that will redefine the series and impact the genre as a whole," explained Patrick Gilmore, VP and Executive Producer at EALA. "By fully controlling the airdrop from your very first step through landing, Medal of Honor Airborne adds a new dimension of player choice by letting you decide where every mission begins and how it plays out." The Medal of Honor Airborne development team continues to ensure that the ideals and integrity of the prestigious congressional Medal of Honor are accurately reflected in the game. The producers sought counsel from numerous expert sources to make certain the game is historically accurate and as true to the WWII Airborne experience as possible. Serving as a military spokesperson for Medal of Honor Airborne, Capt. Dale Dye, who has worked as the Military Technical Advisor for the last 7 Medal of Honor games, will help to create a truly authentic experience. Developed by EA Los Angeles (EALA), Medal of Honor Airborne has not yet been rated by PEGI.

FreeMonk 01.17.2006 21:14 X-BOX 360 RULES!!!!!! PS3 WILL RULE!!!!! So what the F**KING PROBLEM!! They will both be good. Stop bi*ching, and start loving. 360 is here now, enjoy. When the Americans get the PS3 in a years time, Enjoy that! When the Europeans get the PS3 in 5 years time, you might as well get a X-Box 1020!! :) 21 -
Unregistered - ' 01.17.2006 22:54 Why do people Differentiate between the xbox 360 and the ps 3. The fact is what is really going to come down to is games( because that is why you buy a game console........ right?) People who argue over it; the so called " Hardcore games " (whatever the crap that is supposed to mean) dont need to argue because both systems will help them acomplish their whole common goal. Having no life, living with your parents until your in your 40s, and never having a girlfriend. So what I guess Im trying to say is............... well I dont know really. Oh yeah the game looks good. 22 -
FreeMonk 01.17.2006 23:00 #21 - Yeah agree. I think my best mate is going down that road. He's 25, lives at home with his mum and sister, and loves video games and movies. No girlfriend, probably not been laid, and doesn't know how to really talk to women. Although, my best mate is the nicest guy ever. To be honest though, I thought I was going to turn out that way, until I got in with a good crowd and got wrecked every weekend. Then disaster struck, I met my current missus!!! AHHHHHH!! It's never been the same since. So now, I'm living with my Girlfriend, never getting laid because my g/f has a headache, and therefore have to result to video games for entertainment. It's all swings and roundabouts!! And, yeah, this game looks ok! 23 -
Mattey 01.18.2006 19:30 Nice one Paul 24 -
Hey flammers of the PS3 check this outUnregistered - Unknown 01.18.2006 20:14 This is proof that Killzone trailer was 100 percent fake, but next generation systems will achieve that quality of cgi graphics in the next 2 years, said Tim Miller. Check this out(http://www.gametrailers.com/gamehead.php)on gametrailers.com. The truth, and nothing but the truth!!!!!!!! 25 -

GBregaglio 01.19.2006 14:50 I already own an Xbox 360, and I might purchase the PS3 depending on what they have to offer. Other than that, I'm no too excited on the release of Medal of Honor Airborne. How may Medal of Honor games have been released? If they come out with something innovating, I might purchase the game. 27 -
mohUnregistered - jules 01.19.2006 16:03 i think since the 1st moh the series has went down hill...but this is a EAs way of doing stuff, all there games seem to rehash something old...they dont inspire or innovate...most of EAs good games they didnt create thay just assimilated from someone else, criterion,oddworld stranger, etc... and to go out and buy the the nfl liscense cause 2k are at your door is not right... in times like this i like seeing other companies such as activision and ubisoft putting out good stuff... 28 -
Unregistered - Eranix 01.19.2006 21:44 This extremely old news. I've known this for months. Probably since E3. 29 -
Unregistered - James Madison 01.20.2006 16:47 The thing I hate about the medal of honors is that they arent realistic. None of this stuff would ever happen From, James Madison. 30 -

Unregistered - unregistered 01.23.2006 10:48 GBregaglio 01.19.2006 14:50 I already own an Xbox 360, and I might purchase the PS3 depending on what they have to offer who cares? nothing to do with the game title. Add Comment |
