Gaming News - January 2003
Bellevue, WA (January 22, 2003) - Vivendi Universal Games announced
today the development of Men of Valor:
Vietnam for the PC and the Xbox. Men of Valor: Vietnam, developed by 2015,
Inc. and published by Sierra Entertainment, is a historical first-person shooter
that portrays infantry combat during the Vietnam War.
"With Medal of Honor Allied Assault, 2015 took steps towards developing a new
type of first- person shooter that highlighted the excitement and danger of
military conflict during World War II. Rather than place the player in the role
of a traditional first-person shooter, the player was made to experience the
vulnerability and heroism of the soldier taking part in a great crusade," said
Tom Kudirka, President, 2015, Inc. "In the same way, Men of Valor: Vietnam aims
to recreate the tension, risk, and excitement of the jungle battlefields of the
Vietnam War."
From Sierra:
Combining the latest Unreal technology with the gameplay expertise of 2015,
Men of Valor transports the player to the humid jungles of Southeast Asia in the
most controversial conflict of the modern era.
The storyline follows the player through the major actions in the conflict,
from search and destroy missions around Danang airbase to the Tet offensive and
the counterattack on Hue. A cast of AI controlled characters accompanies the
player through the missions, and he learns their value and mourns their loss as
the war progresses. The game will support a cooperative mode that allows the
player to experience the entire tour of duty with his friends, and various
multiplayer modes allow the player to experience the war from the perspective of
North Vietnamese Army or Viet Cong guerillas as well as US Forces.
Men of Valor: Vietnam will be available in 2004 on Xbox and PC with an ESRB
rating pending.
