by Matt ‘Volkov’ Schmidt After only a fortnight of Airborne, EA Games has announced a new successor to the series: Medal of Honor: Homeland Heroes. Again redefining the World War II experience, the game takes place on a different front from previous titles: the mainland United States.“You can’t re-tell the WWII story for the 27th time without detailing the efforts of hard working Americans behind the scenes.” says creative director Jon Paquette. “Have we run out of ideas? Yes. Have we run out of money? No.”

The game will have four different playable classes. The female factory worker, the dehydrated meal packager, the propaganda distributor, and the chemical gas test subject. All have their own special abilities, and can work together for a teamwork bonus. For instance, the propaganda class can assist the chemical test subjects by denying their existence, acting as a special cloaking power-up.

Following a current trend, the game will have two different endings to add replay value. Conserving groceries and buying war bonds is a way to ensure a U.S. victory. Disobey Uncle Sam by cheating oil rations, and the end cut-scene will feature Hitler peeing on the Washington Monument.

Look for this game in stores shortly before Call of Duty: War Protestor premieres next year.
