Medal of Honor Airborne Demo Dated

The playable demo for Medal of Honor Airborne on the Xbox 360 has finally been given an official arrival date and will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PC on August 23, Electronic Arts has said. The demo is of one single player mission: Operation Husky.

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, who 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.
