Medal of Honor Airborne is going the way of the demo, with EA today announcing an Xbox 360 demo and PC demo will both be available on August 23. The Xbox 360 demo will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace, and the PC version will be available on the official Medal of Honor Web site.
The demo mission will be called Operation Husky and will involve 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, which 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.
The final, retail version of Medal of Honor Airborne will be available September 4 for Xbox 360 and PC, and in November for the PlayStation 3.
