Gearbox: Medal of Honor "in trouble" (News)

Nov 28, 2007

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford has described Brothers in Arms competitor Medal of Honor as a franchise "in trouble".

"It's a great franchise, and a lot of people love it, but I think somebody really needs to get hold of that franchise who cares about the subject matter and understands what the real promise and the fantasy is", Pitchford told CVG today at a press event in London.

EA's Medal of Honor series blew gamers' socks off when Allied Assault launched on PC, but the series has never experienced the same accolade since.

Medal of Honor: Airborne (Review)

Sep 4, 2007

Sept 4, 2007 The main innovation in Airborne, and the one most obvious from the title, is that you play Boyd Travers, a paratrooper in the US Airborne Division. The tactic of dropping soldiers into enemy territory from planes was a new one for the 40s, and its one of those ideas that - once heard - youre surprised nobody has converted into a game before (well, not for a few years anyway). With this first innovation came a necessary second. Because you can drop in anywhere on the map, the AI ...

Weighing in at 1.27GB, the demo is single-player and we're assuming features the same content as the Xbox 360 demo - Operation Husky, which finds you fighting as part of the 82nd Airborne on Sicily (we say assuming as we're still downloading the demo).

In adding his two cents to the videogame-violence debate, scientist Christoph Klimmt once said that "not everyone who plays a 'killer' game would be able to stand the stress of a real murder." We'd take it one step further and say that violent games don't even prepare would-be murderers for the stress of a real gun. It's something we found out firsthand when we sent two of our editors - one of whom had never shot a real gun despite being American, and one whose dad kept a "shootin' car" in the ...

Medal of Honor: Airborne - multiplayer hands-on (Preview)

Aug 3, 2007

If you've ever played a World War II-themed shooter in your life, then you already have a basic idea of what to expect from the multiplayer action in Medal of Honor: Airborne. Playing as either an Allied or Axis soldier, you'll skulk through war-torn cities and villages, battling the other team through streets and the ruins of shelled houses for kills and/or control points. It looks awesome and plays great, but there's not a lot here you haven't seen already - just keep your head down, shoot ...

Jul 11, 2007

We've been invited to check out Medal of Honor: Airborne time and time again. This latest visit, though, put us in touch with a brand new level that really showcased what separates the game from its competition. Based on an actual German construction, the Flaktürme, or Flak Tower - a massive gun-emplaced tower designed to defend against air strikes on key cities. Where does this leave you? Parachuting down, of course, past a massive concrete tower that's crawling with Nazi soldiers (of ...

EA Explains Medal of Honor Airborne PS3 Delay (News)

Jul 6, 2007

Earlier this week, EA confirmed that Medal of Honor Airborne for PS3 would be arriving in November this year, as opposed to the August 28 release date for the Xbox 360 and PC versions.

Executive producer Patrick Gilmore told Next-Gen in a phone interview today that the Airborne team had received PS3 dev kits "a little bit later" than Xbox 360 and PC, and those two SKUs have "always" been ahead of the PS3 version.

He said that the PS3 version is "looking good," but added, "We want to release on PS3 when we can deliver a much more polished and complete experience." Gilmore wants to make sure that Sixaxis functionality with the PS3 version is up to par, and said he doesn't want to "shortchange" PS3 owners.

Medal of Honor: Airborne new trailer (News)

Jul 2, 2007

Anyone who has been following Medal of Honor: Airborne will be well aware that a major gameplay feature in the WWII FPS sequel is "go anywhere," i.e. the ability to parachute into any part of a level and begin the fight against the Nazi war machine from there. A new trailer released focuses on that feature, using the D-Day attack on Utah beach as an example of the game's open battlefields that allow players to choose where to initiate their assault from. A heavily defended German beach ...

Interview with Medal of Honor: Airborne's Executive Producer (Feature)

Jun 20, 2007

The view from above always makes the most sense. With Medal of Honor: Airborne, industry veteran Patrick Gilmore has looked back over years of virtual war to figure out how, in this golden age of AI and physics, EAs troubled series can reinvent itself. He could be the ideal candidate for the job. Hes associated as much with Disney as D-Day, having produced over a dozen games starring Mickey and co, he brings a fresh perspective to a series thats long been considered stale. And despite Airbornes ...

New MoH: Airborne screens (News)

Jun 1, 2007

Will Medal of Honor: Airborne see EA's former golden boy of the WWII FPS scene reclaim the throne? Well, we'll have to wait until the end of August when the game releases - on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 - to find out. In the meantime, 25 new screenshots - we know, some of them look the same - from the shooter have leapt from a C-47 and parachuted into GamesRadar offices. Airborne shoves you into the boots of Boyd Travers, a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, and finds you battling the German ...

Medal of Honor: Airborne (Preview)

May 25, 2007

The parachuting only lasts a few seconds. The impact lasts the entire game. Don't get us wrong - those fleeting moments of freefall are pure exhilaration. Surging forward in a crowd of equally frightened soldiers, you hardly have time to register the wide open hatch in front of you - the black starry precipice - before you've been pushed over the edge and into the nothingness. As the chute jerks back and your legs dangle in front of you, the entire mission is revealed on the ground ...

Medal of Honor: Airborne: new trailer (News)

May 22, 2007

What makes Medal of Honor: Airborne different from the rest of the FPS crowd is, well you know, the air drops. Each mission begins with an "In the Plane" sequence that ends with you getting out of the plane from several thousand feet in the air. Once you're out of the plane, there is no loading time or sequenced mission objectives (even saving the game is seamless), and it's up to you where to land. We have a new trailer today that shows off some of the combat and a bit of a drop sequence, and ...

Medal of Honor: Airborne - hands-on (Preview)

May 10, 2007

At first it's familiar territory; the clumsy clang of your M1 Garand rifle, somber trumpet music wafting gently over low-key menus and men in tin hats bellowing at each other over the sound of cracking gunfire. But then you play it and realize that, finally, Medal of Honor has evolved and is now better than Call of Duty. Duty's problem is that it's too stiff. You feel yourself shuttling through a defined, predictable path, which is the complete opposite of what war actually is - an ...

Is Medal of Honor good again? (News)

Apr 25, 2007

It's a big 'if.' But, 'if' Medal of Honor: Airborne manages to live up to this trailer, and 'if' the parachuting sections aren't just on-rails gimmickry, and 'if' EA can finally forge the MoH series back into the brilliant Nazi-busting WWII romp we fondly remember, the answer would be yes - Medal of Honor is good again. After a spewing of installments that have been all but humiliated by Call of Duty and Brothers In Arms' superior soldiering, Airborne gives us a reason to turn back to the ...

Latest Medal of Honor deploying late August? (News)

Apr 24, 2007

EA's Medal of Honor: Airborne has suffered a few delays but eyes are now turning to late August 2007 for its release. E-tailer GameStop is saying the WWII first-person shooter will release in North America on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on August 28. EA's Medal of Honor series has been trumped by Call of Duty of course, but Airborne could be the game that finds it reclaiming its throne. Much is being made of the sandbox-style gameplay in the title, a key feature the ability to parachute into the ...

4 new screens from MoH: Airborne (News)

Apr 2, 2007

We have to say that on a visual level, these are probably the best screenshots we've seen from EA's Medal of Honor: Airborne to date. Press your face up to your monitor screen and see what you think. EA's WWII FPS series has been trumped by Call of Duty, but Airborne could just be the game that sees Medal of Honor reclaim its throne. A big deal is being made about the freeform nature of the gameplay, players as members of 82nd Airborne Division able to determine their own starting point in ...

MoH: Airborne footage lands (News)

Nov 8, 2006

Wednesday 8 November 2006 Explosions that rumble like the bowels of the devil himself, blasts that catapult Nazi rag dolls in Fosbury Flops, tracer, searchlights, burning Dakotas and screaming Yanks. If you're looking for fiddly, pedantic foot soldiering in your trailers, go somewhere else. This is Medal of Honor: Airborne, and it's big, dumb and very, very noisy. But this footage shows more than just the carnage, chaos and cinematics of the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC WWII shooter. As part of this ...

Medal of Honor: Airborne - first look (Preview)

Oct 27, 2006

We got the opportunity to journey down to Los Angeles to see how EA is shaping Medal of Honor: Airborne into a lethal killing machine, and we loved what we saw. After laboring on the title for over a year, developers at EA Los Angeles have completely re-envisioned the series for the next generation of gaming technology. Of course, there is the near-obsessive level of authenticity - when you've got a company the size of EA, you can afford to "go big" on the details even if it means flying a ...

A selection of Medal of Honor: Airborne shots have dropped into our laps and give us a further glimpse at some of the night jumps that will appear in the upcoming World War II first-person shooter.

If Medal of Honor: Airborne - the latest in EA's WWII shooter series - is going to threaten Call of Duty's stranglehold on war-torn action, it has to be something special. The last few MoH games have been disappointing, but this fresh footage has convinced us that the magic is back, and with a vengeance. As one of the US Army's paratroopers - the Airborne division of the title - you'll be starting every mission from the air. Hopefully, the rest of the Medal of Honor formula will get the same ...
