Medal of Honor Pacific Assault and Director's Edition Update

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 Tommy 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. Relying on natural instincts 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 features the gripping, realistic WWII action that has become a hallmark of the Medal of Honor brand.  In creating Medal of Honor Pacific Assault 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 www.moh.ea.com.
