Electronic Arts today announced Medal of Honor Heroes (a working title) for the PSP, allowing players to take their nazi-blasting action on the go. This will be the first portable Medal of Honor since the Game Boy Advance's MoH: Infiltrator in 2003.



Medal of Honor Heroes will be available exclusively for the PSP and will feature a new storyline and PSP-specific feature set. Players will get a new single player campaign, and can choose from six different multiplayer modes within 15 different maps in wireless multiplayer sessions with up to 32 players. Gamers can play with up to eight others across the room for some impromptu Band of Brothers bonding. Quickplay missions in skirmish mode allow players to jump right into the action or to create customized mission scenarios for re-playability.



In Heroes, players will battle their way through three campaigns as popular lead characters from past Medal of Honor games. Take on the role of Lieutenant Jimmy Patterson -- star of both the original Medal of Honor and Medal of Honor Frontline -- in an untold chapter of his time in Holland as part of Operation Market Garden. Play as Sergeant John Baker, from Medal of Honor Allied Assault Breakthrough, and sabotage German defenses on the Italian coastline to help the invasion forces crack Hitler's iron hold on Europe. And try on the officer's cap of Lieutenant William Holt from Medal of Honor European Assault and return to the Ardennes Forest during the Battle of the Bulge to complete unfinished business for the OSS. Along the way, players will unlock over 20 classic characters to use in multiplayer games.

"For the first time ever, the epic WWII battles synonymous with Medal of Honor can be played anytime and anywhere in the world on the PSP," explained Mike Quigley, Group VP of Marketing at EA. "The PSP-specific feature set, especially the 32-player wireless supported multiplayer, skirmish game mode, and unlockable characters are really what is going to give this Medal of Honor game an entirely new and exciting flavor."

Developed by EA Canada in conjunction with EA Los Angeles, Medal of Honor Heroes will ship to stores this holiday season 2006.

Err I should rephrase that (I was going to).

I meant after the invention of dual analog it's going to be hard playing a FPS with the PSP's control scheme. Holding a shoulder button to look up and down is, and always was, a pain in the ass for twitch shooters like these games.
