Electronics Arts will drop a playable demo of ‘Medal of Honor Airborne’ on Xbox Live Marketplace August 23 in a preview of what’s sure to be a Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 treat.
The demo is comprised of 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 expected in stores later this year.
