Gamers to Go Airborne in Medal of Honor

By Digital Trends Staff January 17, 2006

Electronic Arts today announced the newest installment in their long running first person shooter franchise Medal of Honor. Dubbed Medal of Honor Airborne, this new title is expected sometime in winter 2006 for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Xbox and Windows PC systems.

Medal of Honor Airborne, said EA, will allow gamers to play the role of a private in 82nd Airborne and engage in battles throughout WWII Europe. Each mission will begin behind enemy lines via a fully interactive airdrop. The entire operation can be viewed from the air, and gamers will be able to control their parachutes to choose the landing spot. Other features will include customizable weapons, photo realistic characters, a cinematic driven story line and a free roaming FPS environment.

“Medal of Honor Airborne is a step in a new direction for the franchise. While integrating our state-of-the-art, next-gen technology into every aspect of the game, we are introducing innovations that will redefine the series and impact the genre as a whole,” explained Patrick Gilmore, VP and Executive Producer at EALA. “By fully controlling the airdrop from your very first step through landing, Medal of Honor Airborne adds a new dimension of player choice by letting you decide where every mission begins and how it plays out.”

After using the Legion Go, I’m finally thankful for my Steam Deck

Even since I got my Steam Deck, I’ve spent too much time looking for greener pastures. I wished I could ditch Linux in favor of a more familiar Windows machine. Its enormous form factor left me wanting something a little more portable. Most of all, I yearned for a better display that would match my Nintendo Switch OLED. With each new portable PC that was released, I was sure I’d leave my Steam Deck behind the first chance I got.

I was especially ready to pack it up when I got my Lenovo Legion Go. On paper, it solved almost every problem I had with Valve’s handheld and more. It was much bigger, but with a wildly improved screen; its Switch-like design and Windows integration felt like a perfect fit for what I needed. That’s not to mention that it came with a performance boost too that would theoretically let me play more high-end games that the Steam Deck couldn’t run well.

Where to find the Ghost Medal in Super Mario RPG

Mario sleeping in a bed.

One of the best aspects of Super Mario RPG is how beginner-friendly it is as an RPG. You don't have a ton of stats to manage, and your weapons and equipment are mostly linear upgrades outside of some secrets. Accessories are the most interesting ways you can customize your party, allowing you to add unique attributes. The Ghost Medal is one of the strongest of these. but it's tucked away in a hidden corner of the game. It's no time for a nap, so let's go over how to get the Ghost Medal in Super Mario RPG.
How to get the Ghost Medal

The Ghost Medal can be found only after you've reached Monstro Town, which is a good way into the game. Once here, enter the house directly to the right of the Item Shop, turn off the mushroom light, and rest in the bed. While sleeping, the Three Musty Fears will appear around Mario and tell him clues as to where their flags are. By collecting them all, you will earn this accessory. Here's where to find them:

Why owning the best PC hardware didn’t make me a better gamer

Logitech G Pro X mechanical gaming keyboard.

Give it up, guys. It turns out you can have every possible advantage going for you as a gamer -- the most powerful PC, the fastest gaming monitor, the lightest of gaming mice, and the most low-profile of gaming keyboards - but if you just aren't very good, none of it makes much of a difference.

I really hoped it would, too. I've recently been dabbling in some competitive FPS (first-person shooter) play on my PC and decided to give myself every leg up my combined salary and review sample back catalog could manage. And though I'm sure it helped, I didn't receive the advantage I was hoping for.
The man
Let me set the stage for you. I'm a mid-30s, typically single-player PC gamer who hasn't taken competitive gaming seriously since the launch of Rocket League. I used to play Unreal Tournament 2004 in my teens, along with Half Life mods, some Counter-Strike 1.6, and a little Halo when we could get enough original Xboxes and TVs together. More recently, I've dabbled in the odd Call of Duty single-player campaign -- and I loved Evolve while it lasted -- but I haven't played much in the way of PVP (player versus player) FPS games for a decade or more.
