From high above the stage at the Orpheum Theater in L.A., a row of monitors descended. Eighteen players entered, and EA showed off Meda🌌l of Honor's DICE-developed multiplayer for the first time. The game moved fast - here's what we saw:
- DICE's experience with Bad Company 2 is very evident, but there's Modern Warfare influence in there, too.
- Measures have been taken to discourage camping.
- 24 players are supported.
- There's something akin to MW's"kill streak rewards" - we saw a Tomahawk Missile guided into the ground.
- It doesn't look like the MoH campaign. Why? DICE is using their own engine, while EALA is using Unreal, andto ensure thateach team is able to focus on making a great game, they're not too concerned if the two modes aren't perfectly synchronized.
We'll get to play the beta maps on the show floor, presumably starting tomorrow, so we'll have proper hands-on impression🔜s to you as so⭕on as possible.
UPDATE: Here's the trailer!
