They are experts in the application of violence. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a plane of existence above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. Over 2 million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines wear the uniform.
Operating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are called on when the mission must not fail. Of course, either of the Quest headsets will be able to play the PC version of the game if tethered via Oculus Link. It’s also not clear, if the game was ported, wither it would be on both Quest 2 and the original Quest, or only come to Quest 2 due to its greater performance. So while it seems like a Quest 2 version of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond isn’t off the table, ultimately it’s still awaiting further technical investigation. Responding to a comment on Reddit, Mike Doran, Oculus Studios Executive Producer, said, “we are going to try, once the PC is finished,” about a Quest 2 port of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond.įurther asked if this represented intentions of the broader production, which includes Respawn Entertainment as the main developer and parent company Electronic Arts, Doran said, “yes, they’re fully involved and onboard with this ambition.” Image courtesy Oculus But it isn’t off the table, at least once the PC version is done. With development beginning by at least 2017, well before the first Quest headset was even announced, suddenly shifting the production of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond to make it compatible with Quest or Quest 2 would be a challenge. While Oculus Studios has funded some ambitious titles over the years for its PC VR platform, games made for its mobile headsets like Gear VR and Go have been undeniably smaller in scope. With the rise of Quest and Quest 2 in the last year and a half, there’s clearly demand for bigger games on the headsets. However, Oculus Studios and Respawn Entertainment say they plan to investigate the possibility of a Quest 2 port of Medal of Honor once the PC version is complete. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, the next big Oculus Studios game, began production years before even the original Quest launched as such the game has been built from the ground up for PC VR platforms.
