Medal of Honor: Airborne retains the Medal of Honor series' historical accuracy and authenticity, but redefines Medal of Honor by introducing players to an entirely new way of experiencing a WWII FPS - notably the fully interactive Airborne experience.
Medal of Honor: Airborne sees players step into the boots of Boyd Travers, Private First Class of the 82nd Airborne Division and engage in battles throughout Europe. From Airborne's rocky beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany, each mission in this latest Medal of Honor begins behind enemy lines, with a fully interactive airdrop. View the entire operation from the air, and then control your parachute to choose your landing spot. On the ground, gather your senses and assess the terrain and earn those war medals! A wide variety of authentic, customisable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct characteristics. Choose your path in Airborne's free roaming FPS environment.
Medal of Honor: Airborne continues to ensure that the ideals and integrity of the prestigious congressional Medal of Honor are accurately reflected in the Medal of Honor game series. The producers sought counsel from expert sources to make certain Airborne is historically accurate and as true to the WWII Airborne experience as possible. Serving as a military spokesperson for Medal of Honor Airborne, Capt. Dale Dye, who has worked as the Military Technical Advisor for the last 7 Medal of Honor games, has helped create a truly authentic Airborne experience.
Medal of Honor - Airborne sees the return of the ultimate World War II first person shooter series in this instalment that shifts the focus to paratrooper escapades.
The story mode follows Private First Class Boyd Travers who is a paratrooper in the US army. Players must control him through a number of daring missions taking place during the second half of the war, in 1943 and beyond. After a training period in North Africa, he will be inserted into major European countries such as France, Germany and Italy from the air. For the first time players can choose where to begin each mission by deciding where to land with the parachute.
Once on the ground, gameplay is very similar to the game’s predecessors, but with updated graphics and new weapons and missions. Players will find themselves journeying through war-torn landscapes, while seeking to complete objectives given to them. In addition, the multiplayer mode is bigger than ever, with three modes covering cooperative and competitive gameplay. For example, in cooperative gameplay one team starts as the Allies in the air and the other is the Axis on the ground.
A worthy addition to this highly successful series, Medal of Honor - Airborne retains the classic gameplay while incorporating new features.
