LOS ANGELES, Oct 27, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced that the hit
first-person shooter Medal of Honor(TM) will further expand its
intense multiplayer experience with the release of an all-new
multiplayer mode on November 2, 2010. The new mode called Hot
Zone features "King of the Hill" gameplay where teams fight over a
designated location on a map; the team who holds their position longest
prevails. This adrenaline-fueled mode is playable across two all-new
maps (Hindukush Pass and Korengal Outpost) as well as redesigned
versions of the popular Shahikot Valley and Helmand Valley multiplayer
maps. Hot Zone will be available via Xbox LIVE(TM) Marketplace for 800 MS
points, on PlayStation(R)Network for $9.99USD and on PC exclusively via
the EA Store(TM) for $9.99USD.
In addition to Hot Zone, EA will also release Clean Sweep on Nov 2 via
Xbox LIVE, PSN and PC for free*. Clean Sweep is an elimination mode
where players will rely on their own skill and teammates' expertise to
prove victorious. This free mode will also feature two all-new maps
(Bagram Hangar and Khyber Caves) as well as redesigned versions of the
popular Diwagal Camp and Kabul City Ruins maps.
Developed by DICE, Medal of Honor multiplayer delivers
world-class First Person Shooter action and dedicated server support
with all of the same authentic settings, weapons and realistic action
depicted in the single-player game. For the first time in its 11-year
history, Medal of Honor leaves the WWII theatre and enters the
modern setting of war-torn Afghanistan. The game is 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 to take on missions no one else can
handle.
Medal of Honor is available now in North America and in Europe
for the Xbox 360(R) videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation(R)3
computer entertainment system and PC. Medal of Honor is rated "M"
for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on EA, please visit www.ea.com.
