Medal of Honor Airborne is the newest addition from EA’s critically-acclaimed Medal of Honor franchise. Since its debut in 1999, it has been regarded as the pioneer of the First-Person Shooter (FPS) WWII genre, and has since become the best selling WWII FPS of all time.

In this installment, players can control everything from the airdrop to the landing, adding a new dimension of player choice to the game. Set in WWII era, the fully player-drivable Willy’s Jeep, will be featured in the game to add historical accuracy and authenticity.

When driving a Willy’s Jeep in Medal of Honor Airborne, the player can choose to use it either as a mode of transportation, or as a mobile attack platform taking full advantage of a variety of mounted weapons. Because of the vehicle’s superior four-wheel drive off-road capabilities, it will also be able to access more areas than the other drivable vehicles.

“By teaming with Electronic Arts and Medal of Honor Airborne, Jeep is celebrating its history while helping to take this medium to its next level.” said Jay Kuhnie, Director – Jeep Communications, Chrysler Group. Introducing the Jeep, and the integral role it played during the war, to a new generation is a good enough effort to compensate for what others might say as a camouflaged form of in game advertising.

It probably helped win the war, hopefully it does the same for this game.
