Otra de fechas de lanzamiento: Medal of Honor

Si antes ya teníamos claro que EA intenta hacerle la competencia a Activision en temas de FPS bélicos ambientados en la actualidad con el nuevo Medal of Honor, ahora queda ratificado. Y es que la resurrección de la antaño gloriosa saga de soldadicos (que, por cierto, será el primero de la franquicia en no transcurrir durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial) verá la luz un mes antes que Call of Duty: Black Ops. Será concretamente el 15 de octubre cuando podamos iniciar la masacre de talibanes afganos en PC, Xbox 360 y PS3. Además, en la página oficial del juego han puesto una condenada cuenta atrás que, si me toca analizarlo, le va a costar tres puntos menos en la nota, anunciando el advenimiento de un nuevo y «provocador» tráiler exclusivo que teóricamente podremos ver a partir de las seis de la mañana, hora a la que, podéis contar con ello, amados lectores, no estaremos aquí para mostrároslo. Ya tenemos lleno el cupo de noche en vela con el E3. Más detalles en la nota de prensa, en la que describen en perfecto inglés lo que acontecerá en el nuevo tráiler, tras el salto.

EA announces ‘Medal of Honor’ RETURNS TO BATTLE ON october 12, 2010 LOS ANGELES, California – May 5, 2010 – Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that the legendary first-person shooter Medal of Honor™ is ready for another tour of duty. The highly-anticipated modern shooter will launch on October 12, 2010 in North America (Oct. 15 in EU). The ship date will be announced at 6am PST/9am EST today via an emotionally charged trailer entitled “Leave A Message”. The trailer shows a U.S. Army Ranger platoon heading into combat aboard a helicopter. The chaos and uncertainty of the mission is belied by the reassuring voice of one of the Rangers as he reaches out to his family back home. Today’s provocative trailer is the latest in a series of trailers portraying the poignant experiences of today’s soldier.

Inspired by real people and real events, the game puts players in the boots of today’s warrior — from the infantry ground pounder to the Tier 1 Operator,” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor. “We are proud of this piece because it offers a glimpse into the game we’re creating, while also showing the mindset of these warriors.” Medal of Honor leaves the WWII theatre for the first time in its 11-year history and enters the modern day setting of war-torn Afghanistan seen though the lens of a small band of fictional characters. As well, players will be introduced to the Tier 1 Operator, an elite warrior and relatively unknown instrument of the U.S. Military that operates under the National Command Authority, taking on missions no one else can handle. The Medal of Honor single-player campaign is being developed by Electronic Arts in Los Angeles who has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community to create the most authentic modern war experience possible. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise of EA Digital Illusions CE AB. Together these studios are poised to reset the franchise for a new generation this fall.
