Nice job Polaris, give us a link to OPM magazine. Now in the MOH Underground Manon's brother, Jacques, supposedly gets killed when the truck blows up. I may be wrong but I thought that later in the game Manon subtley finds out that Jacques is a POW. They don't mention it in the game but I think I remembered reading it in a briefing or something. I was hoping that Powell could rescue Jacques when he rescues the other POW's.
OPM = official playstation magazine . i couldnt find this timeline online so i copied it from the magazine . i figured people that were unfamiliar with these games should be informed about what type of missions MoH is involved with . concerning the fact that EA wants 2015 to "stay within the original MoH established universe and expand upon it" . meaning that we might see similiar missions in AA .
this is from the May2001 issue of OPM . it is the medal of honor universe timeline including what is going to happen in the new MoH:frontline game which are in italicized text . the ones which are boldfaced are the things that happened in the original MoH and MoH:underground .

thats because , what they're doing is not really just a continuation of the original games but like a remake , mainly because of what they wanted to truely represent in those kinds of levels they couldnt because of the limited power of the original playstation . so new missions will be made and "upgraded" missions will be there too . here is a quote from the mag ...

the same goes for jimmy . its no accident that there's a four month gap between missions 3 and 4 in the original game . we were always interested in the debacle that was Market Garden , especially as a counterpoint to the sucees of Operation Overlord , and thought it would be an interesting period of time to explore in terms of Jimmy's participation . from day one we wanted MOH to grow into a full-fledged franchise , so we planned accordingly with the mission dates in the first game , hence the extended space in the timeline for Frontline to take place .<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
