Electronic Arts has finally confirmed reports that EA LA is working on Medal of Honour Airborne for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with PC, PS2 and Xbox versions also in development.
The game's due out in winter 2006, and puts you in the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the 82nd Airborne Division. Unlike previous MOH games, you'll have full control of your airdrop behind enemy lines, allowing you to try and make for a starting point on the ground of your design.
Once you've landed, you'll be able to roam the level freely completing your objectives, which take you from Sicily throughout Europe and end up in Germany.
Along the way you'll be firing all the usual authentic, and in this case customisable weapons, and revelling in the authenticity backed up by EA's continued association with the congressional Medal of Honour. That's the plan anyway.
EA reckons that being able to determine your own spawnpoint by floating your own way over the battlefield changes things completely. "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," says the game's executive producer Patrick Gilmore.
"By fully controlling the airdrop from your very first step through landing, Medal of Honour Airborne adds a new dimension of player choice by letting you decide where every mission begins and how it plays out."
Expect to hear more on MOH Airborne later in the year - we'd put lots of money on it featuring prominently at E3 in May.

Actaully i look forward to the new Brothers in Arms. Looks like EA thought that was a fine idea and decided to copy.
Next-gen BIA will rock, i'm sure of it. At least i hope it will. /prays saw my cousin playing European Assult recently and that looked positively Ugly! Indeed, horrible game that was.

Do you know what would make a good WW2 game? One shot and you're down - just as it was. I think the whole genre is an insult to veterans when they try to make out how each battle is based on 'real events', yet you can take a full clip and recover by hiding behind a crate for a few seconds! Bring on the realism, bring on one-bullet deaths. |

MoH: Submariner will be released in December 2007.
You get to swim in a free-roaming ocean, up to U-boats and chuck grenades into their periscopes. Well, it's another way to squeeze the cash cow that is this stagnating series, isn't it? I'm still surprised they've not put EA Trax in there. The tracklist would include such hip-hop stylings as Glenn Miller's Big Band, Artie Jones and the jazz sounds of the A-Train. |

"Imagine being shot in the eye and half the screen turns black"
I can imagine playing that would be about as much fun as....errr.... being shot in the eye? Sarcasm aside, Deus Ex and a few others have gone for the whole "damaged limbs affect abilities" and it can work quite well. Got to be careful it doesn't become a disability sim though, as obviously real disability isn't much fun, whereas a game is supposed to be. A bugbear of mine is when a game punishes you for getting smacked, by making you even less able to defend against being smacked again. That was the worst part of the recent King Kong game for me. A real fau pa in my book. I'd be interested to know if that was a Michel Ancel thing or a "film realism" thing. The number of times that "feature" had me gritting my teeth... |

Sorry, but that sounds rubbish.
These ARE games we're talking about here - they're supposed to be fun. If you want real realism in games, how about you buy an FPS game, but if you get shot in it and die the game uninstalls and prevents you ever installing it or playing it again? And then a burly man named Dave comes round to your house and shoots you for real. Sound fun? no.

It seems like the series just gets worse with each instalment with Allied Assault on the PC being the best version and European Assault being by far the worst. Even Pacific Assault on the PC was disappointing. I don't expect Airborne to be any good either simply because it's on too many platforms so you just know before it even comes out that it will be a let down.
The Call of Duty games on the PC and Xbox 360 are vastly superior to the Medal of Honor series anyway and I'll be saving my money for the next game in that series and I won't be wasting it on EA's increasingly stale franchise. Talk about flogging a dead horse... |

There's not much of the horses left though, what with all that whipping and stuff...

And a soldier's avatar on the title screen throwing his fist in the air passionately, then pose to shoot someone, ad finitum. |
