Eager to get your hands on a sample version of the latest installment in the Medal of Honor series before it ships in September? Well you won’t have to wait long, as EA has announced plans to launch both a Xbox 360 and PC demo for Medal of Honor Airborne on August 23rd. On that date, the Xbox Live Marketplace and official MoH Airborne website will have the respective demo versions available for download. Below is a description of the demo level, as provided by EA.
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.
“Medal of Honor Airborne is a new direction for the franchise introducing innovations that redefine the series as well as impact the FPS genre as a whole,” explained Neil Young, VP and General Manager at EALA. “We can’t wait for August when everyone can experience the new Medal of Honor, the first WWII game that allows the player to land anywhere and truly fight the way they want to.”
Accompanying the release date confirmation, EA has also released a new trailer for Airborne, which you can now watch for yourself below. It’s impressive stuff, so definitely check it out.
