Medal of Honor Airborne Demo Coming August 23
for PC and Xbox 360
Get ready to get airborne! On August 23,
parachute into combat with EA’s demo release of Medal of Honor Airborne for the
PC and Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 demo will be available on Xbox LIVE* Marketplace
and the PC version will be available on the official Medal of Honor website.
Demo Mission: Operation Husky
A joint allied operation into the island of Sicily,
Operation Husky follows Boyd Travers and the 82nd Airborne on their first combat
jump on July 11, 1943. After securing and sabotaging four anti-aircraft guns,
Boyd is sent to rendezvous with a group of Airborne paratroopers at the edge of
the village. Here, they run into the German Heer army, who is attempting to
recapture the village from the Airborne. Boyd must push to the end of this small
hamlet, eliminating Germans along the way, then find a sniper rifle and
eliminate the German commander. He’s successful, but not before the commander
has successfully called in reinforcements.
About Medal of Honor Airborne
Medal of Honor Airborne is set to redefine the series and will change the
way shooters are played. For the first time in a first person shooter, players
airdrop into combat and land anywhere in an open battlefield. Conflict on the
ground offers unprecedented tactical choice in vertical, open battlefields with
a wealth of attack routes and flanking opportunities. Medal of Honor Airborne is
the newest installment in EA’s critically acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise,
credited with pioneering the WWII FPS genre when it debuted in 1999. Developed
at EA Los Angeles under the EA brand, Medal of Honor Airborne will be available
September 4, 2007 for the Xbox 360 and PC and in November for the PLAYSTATION 3.
*Online play requires Internet connection. Xbox
LIVE online play also requires subscription to Xbox LIVE service.
