Medal of Honor: Airborne Announced
by Maarten Goldstein, Jan 17, 2006 6:17am PSTElectronic Arts today announced the development of Medal of Honor: Airborne, the latest chapter in the WW2 action game series. Due out on PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3 by the end of the year, Airborne has you playing as Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the 82nd Airborne Division.
From rocky beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany, each mission begins behind enemy lines, with an intense and fully interactive airdrop. Your ability to determine your own starting point dramatically changes the way each mission plays out. View the entire operation from the air, and then control your parachute to choose your landing spot. On the ground, gather your senses and assess the terrain. A wide variety of authentic, customizable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Choose your path in this free roaming FPS environment. Medal of Honor Airborne will also feature exceptionally photo-realistic characters, adding to the intensity of the cinematic, story-driven game.

# You play as Boyd Tavers of the 82nd Airborne.
# Every mission begins with a non-cinematic, immersive airdrop.
# Upgradeable weapons make their premiere. However, you'll have to consistently use a weapon more than others to be able to gain the ability to upgrade it.
# A new animation system dubbed, "U-Cap" is being used for all facial animations and body movements.
# Cooperative gameplay will be integrated.
COOP! Also, upgradable damage, like an roleplaying game? Or upgradable, like the ability to add silencers, bipods and other accessories? Hmm...

Or toilet cleaning. Or sweeping the street with a broom. Or checking to make sure everyone is in the exact same uniform.
Or spending three hours sitting around studying the Ranger Handbook because there's no training to do.
God, I love my job! :D

Photorealistic is not an adjective that can be applied to video games yet. It means "detailed visual representation, like that obtained in a photograph." It may look nice, for a game, but it does not look like a photograph. It does not look real.
Also known as: falling.
