"Access to a weapon like the MP7 will allow players to experience a tool developed with the Special Operations Community in mind"
aAccess to a weapon like the MP7 will allow players to experience a tool developed with the Special Operations Community in mind,a said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor. aWith 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.a
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®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PC.
