Gamers Evolved

Halo 3 might be the most anticipated game of the year for the Xbox 360, but that isn’t the only game that people are looking forward to. Medal of Honor Airborne is preparing to show itself to Xbox gamers everywhere.

Electronic Arts Inc. announced that it will host Operation Live Jump, a weekend of online activities on the Xbox Live network, for the title Medal of Honor Airborne for Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360. Medal of Honor Airborne will be released to U.S. retail for $59.99. 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, players airdrop into combat and land anywhere in an open battlefield. Conflict on the ground offers unprecedented tactical choice in vertical, open battle spaces 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.

Beginning Sept. 7, players can engage in the 72-hour ‘Play & Win Sweepstakes’ to win prizes and play against the developers of Medal of Honor Airborne. Additionally, the pre-release Medal of Honor Airborne demo is now available to download on the Xbox Live network.

While Medal of Honor Airborne will be available for Sony Corp.’s Playstation 3 and as a  PC game, this special event will only be available to Xbox gamers.
