EA Games officially announced this morning the development of the next game in the very popular Medal of Honor series, Pacific Assault. Fairly easy to figure out by its name, Pacific Assault will bring Medal Of Honor fans to the front lines the World War II Pacific theater of operations and will cover all of the major battles, ranging from Pearl Harbor, to the Tarawa Atoll. Here's the important stuff from the original release on Yahoo:
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault gives players a sense of the courage it took to fight the Imperial Japanese Army from the shock of Pearl Harbor to triumph on the shores of the Tarawa Atoll. Set in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from 1941-1944, players will assume the role of Marine recruit Tom Conlin as he survives the attack on Pearl Harbor, leads the assault on Guadalcanal, and finally charges up the beaches for the climatic battle at Tarawa. Armed with their wits and a variety of authentic weapons, it's up to players to stop the Japanese war machine in its tracks. Medal of Honor Pacific Assault follows the tradition of previous Medal of Honor products with a brand new arsenal of weapons, new enemies, and new storyline. In addition, Pacific Assault features new multiplayer modes in which up to 32 players can choose soldiers from American, British, Japanese, and other armies. Medal of Honor Pacific Assault will also debut a new 3D technology built specifically for Medal of Honor. As with the original Medal of Honor game, the producers sought counsel from numerous expert sources to ensure the game is as historically authentic as possible. EALA continues to work closely with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to ensure Medal of Honor Pacific Assault reflects the ideals and integrity of the prestigious Medal of Honor. In addition, Capt. Dale Dye, who served as military technical advisor on the previous titles in the Medal of Honor franchise, continues his efforts with the Medal of Honor Pacific Assault team. The EA Medal of Honor franchise website is www.moh.ea.com.
Have an intelligent debate about the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese war machine in the forums...Yeah, whatever. We'll all end up bickering about whether Britney Spears titties are real or not, just like we always do.
The military has given out several honorary Congressional Medals of Honor to the LANclub guys for our outstanding efforts against the enemy in such games as Counter-Strike and Desert Combat. Hail to them in the forums.
