Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault on course

By Tom Bramwell Published 20 October, 2004

EA denies claims of a fresh delay.

Electronic Arts has denied that Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault has been delayed until Q1 2005, following reports surrounding the publication of the publisher's financial results this week. The World War II-based first-person shooter is still set to be released on November 12th in Europe.

This puts it in direct competition with the likes of Halo 2 and Half-Life 2, both of which are due out within days of its release. EA will now be hoping that the recognition factor of the brand and a series of development delays to apply polish will help put it on an even footing with the two genre heavyweights.

"The statement that MOHPA is delayed to FY Q4 is incorrect and was NOT issued by an official source," a spokesperson for the publisher's UK arm insisted this morning, after this website reported claims from US news sources that reps had announced the delay to investors during a conference call.

However EA did announce that it is working on a new Medal of Honor title for consoles. You can read more details about that here.

    Played through Call Of Duty and most of United Offensive recently - although planned along very similar lines, these games are just so much better than Allied Assault. Looks like Pacific Assault just hasn't made the bar for WWII shooters yet...

    I played the CoD:UO and MoH:pA demo's recently. Call of duty was by far the more enjoyable and has a better (and possibly more accurate) Bastogne level than the one in the add ons for the original MoH.

    They should throw this in the same pit as the Sims Online

    And all those who are in foreign lands
    Don't wanna fight no more
    And all those who lost their feet or hands
    Don't wanna fight no more
    But there's no profit in peace boys
    We've gotta fight some more

    The Pacific Assault demo was bleeding awful. Cancelling, rather than delaying, it would probably be a better idea.

    CoD:UO is good but the difficulty level is so over the top it's unbelieveable and failing missions because you've not defended an AI character from hordes of Germans who seem to have Terminator accuracy levels while they shoot the crap out of you is not good at all.

    The demo wasn't that bad, it was just VERY short.
