Xbox Gaming in South Africa

EA has announced that their upcoming modern military shooter Medal of Honor is set for release on 12 October in North America, and 15 October in Europe (and presumably South Africa).

Medal of Honor is the first in the series to move away from a World War 2 setting, taking place in modern-day Afghanistan, and following the missions of the elite Tier 1 Operators.

"Medal of Honor is an authentic look into today's war. Inspired by real people and real events, the game puts players in the boots of today's warrior -- from the infantry ground pounder to the Tier 1 Operator," said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor.

Squeezing in just before Call of Duty: Black Ops, and in the same year as EA's other military shooter, Bad Company 2, fans of the post-World War 2 military shooter genre sure aren't short on choices.
