Medal of Honor: Airborne

Medal of Honor: Airborne is the 11th installment in the Medal of Honor series and a World War II first-person shooter video game. EA LA created it, and it was released worldwide in August 2007 on mobile phones and in September 2007 on Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. Versions for the PlayStation 2, Wii, and Xbox were planned but scrapped in 2007. Instead, Medal of Honor: Vanguard was only available on the first two consoles. In November 2007, a PlayStation 3 version was released. The game occurs in World War II’s European theater and is the first in the series to focus solely on paratrooper activities. In the single-player mode, the player assumes the role of PFC/CPL Boyd Travers, a fictional paratrooper in the US 82nd Airborne Division. Missions include insertions into Italy, northern France, the Netherlands, and Germany, with each task starting with a jump behind enemy lines. Airborne also has an online multiplayer mode where users can choose between fighting for the Allies and parachuting down to the battlefield, or fighting for the Axis and starting on the ground, defending the position from enemy paratroopers. The game makes use of a vastly improved version of Unreal Engine 3.  Airborne employs a nonlinear gameplay style in which the player can begin the game anywhere on the map by directing where they land, as opposed to previous linear FPS games such as Allied Assault, where the start point and direction are already laid out.
