Redwood City, CA (August 7, 2003) - EA today announced Medal of Honor
Pacific Assault.
From EA:
Step into the boots of a U.S. Marine and drive the Imperial Japanese Army
from the Pacific in Medal of Honor Pacific Assault from Electronic Arts.
Developed by EA Los Angeles, creators of the award-winning Medal of Honor
series, Medal of Honor Pacific Assault immerses players in an authentic WWII
experience, and will be available for the PC early 2004 under the EA GAMES™
brand.
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault gives players a sense of the courage it took
to fight the Imperial Japanese Army from the shock of Pearl Harbor to triumph on
the shores of the Tarawa Atoll. Set in the Pacific Theatre of Operations from
1941-1944, players will assume the role of Marine recruit Tom Conlin as he
survives the attack on Pearl Harbor, leads the assault on Guadalcanal, and
finally charges up the beaches for the climatic battle at Tarawa. Armed with
their wits and a variety of authentic weapons, it's up to players to stop the
Japanese war machine in its tracks.
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault follows the tradition of previous Medal of
Honor products with a brand new arsenal of weapons, new enemies, and new
storyline. In addition, Pacific Assault features new multiplayer modes in which
up to 32 players can choose soldiers from American, British, Japanese, and other
armies. Medal of Honor Pacific Assault will also debut a new 3D technology built
specifically for Medal of Honor.
As with the original Medal of Honor game, the producers sought counsel from
numerous expert sources to ensure the game is as historically authentic as
possible. EALA continues to work closely with the Congressional Medal of Honor
Society to ensure Medal of Honor Pacific Assault 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 Pacific Assault
team. The EA Medal of Honor franchise website is
