Exclusive In-Game Content Offers Players the Authentic Experience of
Today's Tier 1 Operator
LOS ANGELES, Jul 13, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- In today's war, there is a new enemy, new weaponry and a new warrior
built to tackle the toughest missions and harshest terrain. He is the
Tier 1 Operator, and on October 12, 2010 Medal of Honor players
will have a chance to step into the boots of this elite soldier. Today
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced a Limited Edition version
of Medal of Honor that will grant players exclusive access to the
MP7, a unique weapon utilized by Tier 1 Operators in the field. Limited
Edition owners will also benefit from day-one access to the TOZ-194 and
870MC2 shotguns, while others must rank up to secure these weapon
unlocks. Gamers can pre-order the Limited Edition now at www.medalofhonor.com
at no additional cost.
"Access to a weapon like the MP7 will allow players to experience a tool
developed with the Special Operations Community in mind," said Greg
Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor. "With its light
weight, high rate of fire and its ability to penetrate body armor, the
MP7 handles like a pistol yet allows targets to be engaged like a rifle."
For the first time in its 11-year history, Medal of Honor leaves
the WWII theatre and enters the modern day setting of war-torn
Afghanistan told through the lens of a small band of fictional
characters. Medal of Honor introduces players to the Tier 1
Operator, an elite warrior and relatively unknown instrument of the U.S.
Military that operates under the National Command Authority, taking on
missions no one else can handle.
The Limited Edition of Medal of Honor launches on October 12,
2010 in North America (Oct. 15 in EU) for the PlayStation(R)3 computer
entertainment system, Xbox 360(R) videogame and entertainment system and
PC. Follow the game on twitter at: http://www.twitter.com/medalofhonor
