If you live in Pakistan, you don’t necessarily want to play as an American soldier all the time.īergqvist: The story behind it was that … when we started designing the game, we sat down and talked with the consultants we work with. GamesBeat: It seems like a good marketing idea. You’ll have access to 24 of them today, I think. We have 12 units and six classes, which makes for 72 possible soldiers in total in the final game. Each of these units can exist in any class. We have some combinations still locked in this version, though. GamesBeat: That’s the way it’s going to be in the finished game as well?īergqvist: Yeah. We’re also going to play Sarajevo Stadium.
After that, we’re going to northern Pakistan. You can play as any of those today. We’re going to start off with a smaller map, the same one that was playable at E3. GamesBeat: How many different worldwide special forces are there here?īergqvist: We have 12 units from all over the world? They’re from 10 different countries.
That was a big focus for us during development - to add a lot of depth and a lot of content to the multiplayer experience. Everything from hand-thrown UAVs to trip-wire booby traps to flyable Apache helicopter gunships. We have over 30 different abilities to try out. Each of them has unique support actions, unique abilities, unique gadgets and grenades. We also have a lot of classes - more classes than we’ve ever had before. I can battle as the Swedish SOG versus, say, the American Navy SEALs to see who’s the best. I represent my nation in the blue-versus-blue scenario. I go out and play as the Swedish unit, of course, because I’m Swedish. One is we’ve taken a page from EA Sports, where you can represent your nation. GamesBeat: What should we notice about this kind of multiplayer compared to what you were doing a couple of years ago, where it was all just American soldiers?īergqvist: There’s a couple of big things we’re doing that stand out. It’s the single most important gameplay feature. Playing as a pair like that will pay off a lot, both in terms of score and in terms of kill/death ratio. You can spawn on each other if you go down. One thing that defines our gameplay is the fighting functionality.
They do the big tanks and jets kind of warfare. One way to look at it is we’re the scalpel. It’s something that happened very early on.
So how is the multiplayer for Medal of Honor going to help lift you up to the level of the competition?īergqvist: It’s been interesting, defining Medal of Honor multiplayer. Medal of Honor still has to prove itself. GamesBeat: If you pull out to the bigger picture - there’s Call of Duty, there’s Battlefield, and they’ve done very well.
