Electronic Arts has announced that the newest installment of the Medal of Honor series, Medal of Honor: Airborne, will ship out this August. Specifically, the game will ship August 28th. As many may have guessed from the title, Medal of Honor: Airborne focuses on paratroopers. Levels begin with a combat drop in which players can control their descent, allowing for more free form gameplay. For instance, if you land in a combat hot spot and find yourself instantly overwhelmed, you might try landing in a quieter spot next time. The question is, will the parachute mechanic be enough to lift MOH: Airborne above the bloated WWII genre? After all, it seems like WWIII is the way to go these days.

to be honest, i don't own any WWII games so i guess that this will be my last decent chance. i like the look of the gameplay that makes one feel immersed in the battle but does anyone know how the other medal of honor games were and whether this is just an FPS or are there strategy elements here?

I only ever played the 1st MoH on the PS2. It was a good but fairly standard FPS. On the other hand my mate was right into it and bought the second installment aswell.
WWII shooters aren't really my thing though. I prefer the futuristic stuff to the past/historical stuff.
