As part of a new Project HONOR initiative by EA, a special military edition of Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be released exclusively for active, reserve and former U.S. military. The Project HONOR program is said to be aimed at raising awareness and generating charitable contributions for martyrs from the Special Operations Community.
During the game’s reveal in February this year, EA had disclosed that its story has been written by Tier 1 Operators while deployed overseas. The military edition of Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be made available only through GovX, and will contain exclusive in-game unlocks, one of them being a special Project HONOR camouflage pattern. It can be pre-ordered now for the same price as that of the standard game.
John T. Carney, Jr., Special Operations Warrior Foundation President, shared, “This partnership with EA and Medal of Honor will raise awareness on the work we do to help the families of fallen Special Operations warriors and facilitate contributions that help provide college scholarships for surviving children and financial assistance to families of severely wounded special operations warriors. This is a great way to give back to some of our country’s greatest warriors.”
Under the Project HONOR initiative, elite weapon and gear manufacturers that include Kaenon, London Bridge Trading, Magpul, SureFire, Mechanix Wear and more would also be making donations to the Navy SEAL Foundation and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. The products of these manufacturers will be featured in the game. Moreover, some companies will even be selling exclusive Medal of Honor themed merchandise and donate 100% of the proceeds to the Navy SEAL Foundation, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and other charities.
Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be released for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on October 23, 2012. While its military edition is exclusive to armed forces, the standard version can be pre-ordered currently at 59.99 USD (approx. Rs. 3,350).
