EA Reinvents Franchise with New Development Teams, New Soldier, New Setting

LOS ANGELES, California – December 2, 2009 – Medal of Honor™ returns to the front lines, this time in today’s war. For the first time in the franchise’s 10-year history, Medal of Honor is leaving the WWII theatre and putting players in war-torn Afghanistan. Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today revealed that in 2010, Medal of Honor, an all-new first-person shooter game, will introduce the Tier 1 Operator: a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle. The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience. Inspired by real events, Medal of Honor reveals the mission of today’s most elite American soldier – his will, his mindset and his uncompromising professionalism.

Medal of Honor is being built with a best-in-class single-player campaign. The Medal of Honor development team at EALA has been hand-selected by the studio leadership of General Manager Sean Decker, Executive Producer Greg Goodrich and Senior Creative Director Rich Farrelly. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise at EA DICE. This team will develop the multiplayer experience of Medal of Honor. These two studios are coming together to deliver a world-class Medal of Honor that is poised to re-set the franchise for a new generation.

“When we first set out to reinvent Medal of Honor, we wanted to stay true to its roots of authenticity and respect for the soldier but bring it into today’s war. The Tier 1 Operator is the most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield. He is a living, breathing, precision instrument of war.” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, Medal of Honor. “We are honored to have the rare opportunity to work closely with these men to create a game that shares their experience.”

“EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers’ story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today’s war and today’s elite soldiers via today’s most relevant medium – videogames,” said Sean Decker, VP and General Manager of EALA. “We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre.”

Dear Gameserverland friends,

After a busy period behind the scenes from gameserverland, we unfortunately have to inform you about the following.
First of all we are very sorry for our ‘die hard’ cod customers that mw2 doesn’t have a dedicated server package. This is a big disappointment for the cod fans and of course also for us. (Let’s hope there will be a ‘patch’ soon.)

Then we apologize for the sudden changes, and network change, this was totally unexpected for us. Our Dutch provider suddenly changed his datacenter without informing most of their customers. We gave them a chance, but from feedback from our customers we noticed that the network wasn’t that good anymore. Due to this we decided to also move from datacenter. This Tuesday (01-12-2009) we will transport our machines to the Grafix datacenter (also located in The Netherlands) they proved that they have a very stable network, and low ping for all European customers. In other words you will get a great gameserver, just what you are used to get from gameserverland. You will be informed individually.
All our customers will get a month free of testing our new datacenter, and after that you can cancel anytime. (or order some extra servers)
We also changed our prices radically. Since 01-11-2009 you can already get a private server from €4,80. Check out our entire pricelist on our website.
We also implemented a new game panel. Customers who didn’t have the new login details for the panel, please contact us by mail.
As for always:
Happy Fraggin’

Hallo Gameserverland- Freunde,

Nachdem es in letzter Zeit sehr hektisch hinter den Kulissen bei Gameserverland zuging, müssen wir Dir leider das folgende mitteilen.
Als aller Erstes wollen wir uns entschuldigen bei unseren „die hard - Cod- Kunden“, daß mw2 keinen „dedicated server package“ hat. Das war eine große Enttäuschung für die ‚cod-fans‘ und natürlich für uns. ( Wir hoffen, daß es sehr bald einen „patch“ gibt ).

Dann wollen wir uns noch entschuldigen für die plötzlichen Veränderungen und die Netzwerkveränderung, dies kam für uns völlig unerwartet. Unsere niederländischen Anbieter haben über Nacht das Rechenzentrum gewechselt ohne die meisten Ihrer Kunden auf dem laufenden zu halten.
Wir haben ihnen eine Chance gegeben. Aber leider haben wir von unseren Kunden erfahren, daß das Netzwerk nicht mehr so gut war. Aufgrund dessen haben wir beschlossen auf die Suche zu gehen nach einem anderen Rechenzentrum. Am kommenden Dienstag, den 1. Dezember 2009 werden wir unsere Maschinen transportieren zu unserem neuen Rechnerzentrum „Grafix“ ( auch mit Niederlassung in den Niederlanden ). Grafix hat bewiesen, daß sie ein sehr zuverlässiges Netzwerk und einen sehr niedrigen „ping“ für alle europäischen Kunden zur Verfügung stehen haben. Mit anderen Worten Du wirst ein wirklich gut funktionierendes gameserverland angeboten bekommen. Wir werden Dich persönlich hierdrüber informieren.
Alle unsere Kunden werden einen Monat gratis unser neues Rechnerzentrum testen können und danach kannst Du jeder Zeit Deinen Vertrag lösen. ( Oder neue Servers anfordern )
Wir haben auch unsere Preise radikal angepasst. Seit dem 1. November 2009 kannst Du schon einen privaten server ab €4,80 pro Monat mieten.
Schau Dir unsere genauen Preise auf unserer Webseite an.
Wir haben auch ein neues game panel eingeführt. Kunden die keine neuen „login-detais“ für den „Panel“ bekommen haben, bitte meldet Euch per E-Mail.
So wir immer:
Happy Fraggin‘
