EA ANNOUNCES MEDAL OF HONOR: DOGS OF WAR

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 20, 2004. Electronic Arts is proud to announce Medal of Honor: Dogs of War. Slated for release in the Spring of 2005, Dogs of War is the latest game from EA's acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise which has been credited with pioneering the First Person Shooter WWII genre when it debuted in 1999. Building on the hallmarks of the franchise, Dogs of War, advances on the series by introducing players to a new way of playing, while still delivering a unflinching picture of warfare and its gut-wrenching brutality. Developed by EA Los Angeles (EALA), the new title will be released under the EA GAMES brand for the Sony PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Nintendo GameCube and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft.

Europe 1942. These are desperate hours for the Allied forces as the Nazi war machine rages across a devastated European landscape. With the British on the brink, Lt. William Holt of the OSS is sent on a secret mission by order of the President of the United States. On his own, or with his squad, Holt is pivotal in helping to turn the tide in four of the most crucial battles leading to victory in Europe.

As with the original Medal of Honor, producers sought counsel from numerous expert sources to make certain the game is historically accurate and as realistic as possible. The EALA development team continues to work closely with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to ensure that Medal of Honor: Dogs of War 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: Dogs of War team to ensure the authenticity of the experience.

I quite liked MOH: Frontline, but Rising Sun was a heap of crap. If they can bump up the frame rate (even the Xbox version of RS lagged like a bitch) and increase the AI, then that'd be RAD. I hope they try and figure out a way to advertise Need for Speed Underground in it, too.

They should start putting demos in their games now. I heard madden 05 had a demo of nfl streets in it. This is a great way to advertise.

Infernal, the reason for that is that a lot of key people that worked on the franchise left EA after Frontline and started Spark, who is working on the new Call of Duty: Finest Hour game for consoles.
