Medal of Honor Electronic Arts

EA brings its World War II shooter into the modern age, placing players into the boots of American Tier 1 operatives during the Afghanistan war.

Best known for its intense depictions of the battles of World War II, the Medal of Honor series is now following in Call of Dutys footsteps by leaving the era behind in favour of a modern day setting. Deployed into the heart of Afghanistan as a Tier 1 operative, players must face battle with terrorist cells in the close quarters of city streets as well as barren open landscapes. Medal of Honor takes a gritty and realistic approach to its combat, hoping to recreate and intense and violent situations soldiers on the front line find themselves in each day.

Alongside Medal of Honors single player component, a robust multiplayer mode allows players from across the globe to test their mettle in battle, slowly upgrading their character and gaining access to a number of new abilities, dropping supplies for allies and unleashing airborne artillery on opponents.

Medal of Honor injects a dose of realism back into the long-running shooter series, telling a mature and complex story of war in Afghanistan alongside its robust multiplayer component.
