EA games just sponsored a reenactment that I was at this past weekend and they were promoting their new game MoH: Airborne. They set up computers and let people play it for free. I heard that it doesn't come out until Sept but I am not sure. I played it and I thought it was pretty cool and relatively realistic. Graphics were really nice, I particularly liked the lighting and shadows on the characters.
Anyone got anymore info on it?

They pushed the release date back from August 28th to September 4th to work on some issues that came up from the Multiplayer Summit a while back.
All in all, the game has massive potential and the whole "Airborne" aspect of the game doesn't look gimmicky or half-assed. The game really flows around that concept. I'm a big PC gamer, so naturally I'm excited to pick this one up soon, but the system requirements are pretty steep for older machines due to the newer Unreal III engine being utilized (and it looks stunning!).
EA's really promising that they'll be devoting a lot of time and energy to keeping this game fresh and exciting, and it looks like PC guys will have patches within the first few weeks of the game's release to correct problems that were unable to be fixed before launch. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be another MOH: PA.

Thats probably what will happen, but I hope not. I long for a first-person shooter in which you don't kill a thousand enemies by the games end.

I wish EA continued with the Passific assault, that series really has alot of potential, and honestly the whole ETO thing has been played out way too much. I personnally dont care how good this new game is, becuase it is yet another ETO game with the same thing you will find in every game before it.
Why not make a game featuring the CBI even, or hell the MTO. I mean EA didnt even scratch the surface of the PTO so come ome hell, they can make an entire game based ont eh Iwo Jima Campaign.

I hope it's better than Vanguard, which was pretty half-assed in my opinion.

Yep, we need a realistic game where one .45 round can drop a man in his tracks.

I think it takes 4-5 rounds from the thompson to take out a german in BIA, the sound and stuff makes the weapon feal powerfull but it's like trying to stop at tank with a BB

weird, just installed BiA EiB with 1.3 patch and now the germans die from 1-2 Garand Shots and 2-3 from the Thompson. the feel is much better.
edit, nevermind, I had a realism mod installed from a priveus time i had the game installed

yeah it may not be perfect in that aspect but theres always ways around it plus this will be an entirely new game. ANY WAYS, that was offtopic i just want MOH airborne to come out so i can play a WWII game with really nice graphics, ive already beat cod2 numerous times.

I agree with TG on MOH: PA. I don't know why all you guys badmouth Pacific Assault, as it was one of the earliest FPSs that tried to enable a squad command system that didn't turn out too bad. It had an original story, kicked the crap outta Rising Sun, and had enormous replay value. Its a shame that an expansion pack never came out for it.

ive never really been a fan of MOH i hate consoles, PC all the way, the games are too much of being a movie hero and crushing the army by yourself and unlimited quantities of grenades ammo and of course health, but the graphics hopefully will save this one, and some modding.

there is a Singelplayer demo out now
edit, damn this game sucks, the sounds and feel of the guns suck, you have to kill like 1000 germans, and if you shot well you get an instant upgrade to your weapon, if you shoot well with the garand you suddely get a special barrel that make your weapon more accurate and you get it by magic, your gun just suddenly shoots better.
and if you shoot well with the thompson you suddenly get a vertical grip, like the one you find on a 1928 model

Where can I play this demo? Is it out on the xbox live market, or do I have to get off my ass and go to the store to purchase it? If it's that bad, I may wait for the xbox live demo to come out. If it costs more than free.50, I guess I will pass it up. Thats a shame, I thought it would be pretty fun. I did watch some guy playing it on G4TV, and he really sucked at it. He died from 2 misjumps, an mp40 while running out in the opening, falling off of a tower, and a sniper. He wasn't using common sense at all, so I was going to give it a chance.

Groan.... sounds like it is going to have the same problems that MOH always has.... I will still rent it at least and give it a go, hopefully it is just beta problems...

GOOD NEWS!: Third-party mods
Airborne is expected to become a heavily modded and customized game, as EA has expressed a desire to make the game extremely mod-friendly. The Unreal 3 engine is known for being easy to adapt, and after community dissatisfaction at the lack of support for Pacific Assault, the developers are looking to enable users of the game to create a wide variety of mods to suit their needs. An SDK/MDK will be released with the game, available as a download from EA's website. Additionally, tools will be provided to help export/import objects in various 3D editing programs.

I havent played it yet, though I believe it will be damned good, seeing as every time you drop its a different experience, and i believe this will be the first game i have played based on a unit that isnt hollywoodized. Also, being that it is an Abn game will be fun and it goes through the MTO. I played vanguard, and like that fact that you could play in Italy. It was kind of a downer with how they slacked off on uniform and gear details. I just also like the fact that you can control your drop. From my understanding with the weapons upgrades is you had to make them yourself before the drop, and you can also chose your weapon too then. So lets hope that the had the automatic upgrades for just the demo. -Cary
P.S. I LOVE Pacific Assualt!

I find that Pacific Assualt is the best game in the series, the garand works there, most of the time you take down an enemy in one shot, the sound was good to.
I don't see why they can't learn from it. the sounds in Airborne is just BAD!!
and I've tried the demo sevral times, and it's the same every time, the enemy is in the same places every time and they respawn.
this realy dosn't bring anything new to WW2 fps. i'm going to buy it, but then i buy almost all games. and I need something to do unitl hells highway comes out

well i played the demo today and... well like other MOH games i didnt like it and wasnt entertained, and the whole gun upgrades isnt cool, the sights for the guns are horrible, the M1 garand looks rediculious and the sights are totally made up. the grapics are good, game play isnt good, your life can regen... im gonna try modding it now, Kyle

well I downloaded a "realism" mod, most of the enemy die from 1 shot. makes the gameplay better, but you still get those upgrades, and the .45 still have unlimited ammo

what a silly game, i have completed it now. the only map i liked was the D-day one, it was the only that wasn't a urban map. there's only 6 missions and it takes about 2.5-3 hours to complete the game. that NOT alot. you also meet enemys that shot MG42 form the hip and can take 3 rifle granades in the face and still live, it take about 20 shots from a Garand to kill them, or 30 BAR shots
