We failed to mention the release of
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, but
the virtual reality installment in the World War II shooter series launched
on Steam
on Friday. The
Launch Trailer offers a look, and word is: "A deep single-player campaign
takes you through historic events on land, air, and sea, sabotaging Nazi bases,
subverting enemy plans, aiding the French Resistance, and much, much more." As
noted in
this post, a new "small game update" is now available that brings the game
up to version 1.19. Here's more on the game:
Medal of Honor: Above and
Beyond is an action-packed, immersive VR experience set in World War II, where
you step into the boots of an agent of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in
war-torn Europe. A deep single-player campaign bursting with authentic detail
takes you through historic events on land, air, and sea, sabotaging Nazi bases,
subverting enemy plans, aiding the French Resistance, and partaking in the
biggest moments of the war.
In addition to the rich narrative campaign, you’ll be able to hone your skills
in challenging combat exercises, go deeper into the history with award-winning
short films created just for the game, and test yourself against your fellow
soldiers in explosive, fast-paced multiplayer matches. Multiplayer modes take
place on numerous sites across Europe and feature competitive modes where you
fight alone, with a team, or even scramble to plant and diffuse timed
explosives.
You’ll need more than good aim to succeed in your mission. Use anything in the
world as cover, throw back enemy grenades, swim from sinking ships, and dive out
of burning airplanes. You’ll have to stay on your toes if you want to make it
out alive. You’re not watching history, you’re experiencing it, like never
before.
