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 (FPS), 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.
The Medal of Honor Airborne development team continues to
ensure that the ideals and integrity of the prestigious
Congressional Medal of Honor are accurately reflected in the game.
The producers sought counsel from numerous expert sources to make
certain the game is historically accurate and as true to the WWII
Airborne experience as possible.
