Jeeps go Airborne

When re-creating a historical period for a game, authenticity can separate the good games from the poseurs. Electronic Arts today announced it is bringing more realism to its Medal of Honor series by signing a deal with Jeep. Several of the Jeep vehicles that were used in World War II will be featured in the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, and Xbox games, scheduled for release in 2007. The Willys-Overland Jeep "will appear for extended, action-packed sequences in several missions." Gamers will be able to use the Jeeps for simple transportation, or they can take control of a mounted weapon and blast away enemies while on the move.
