Gamespot have posted a Hand-On for the upcoming expansion pack for the excellent FPS, Medal of Honor. Here is part of the preview:
Players will assume the role of a new character, Sgt. Jack Barns, who's an OSS operative sent into Normandy with the 101st Airborne on the night before the D-Day invasion. The game will start with Barns parachuting from the back of a C-47 under the cover of darkness. Once (if)he lands safely, he'll rendezvous with a group of British commandos, and they'll team up to fight through the European countryside, eventually participating in the Battle of the Bulge, and finally assisting in the siege of Berlin. The intense sorts of battles from the original Allied Assault are still intact in the expansion pack. One of the mission objectives of the Battle of the Bulge, for example, is simply to survive a non-stop barrage of German artillery. Huge plumes of snow and dirt will fly up into the air, and trees will get snapped in half as the powerful onslaught of shells pounds Barns' position. Players will have to frantically run from foxhole to foxhole in order to seek shelter while avoiding the death from above.
