EA announced that on August 23rd, a single-player demo for Medal of Honor: Airborne will be released for PC and Xbox 360. The game will deploying the stores on September 4th for Xbox 360 and PC and on November 13th for the PS3.
Airborne is shaping to add some different flavors to their long-running Medal of Honor series. Along with boasting some fine-looking visuals (same version of the Unreal Engine 3 as Gears of War), the game will introduce a freeform of gameplay courtesy of participating in air drops. This opens up different ways to start levels since you can literally start anywhere in each level.
According to EA, the demo will feature:
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.
