REDWOOD CITY, Calif., January 17, 2006 - Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS)

historical

series by introducing players to an entirely new way of experiencing a
WWII
FPS - namely the fully interactive Airborne experience. As the first game

Airborne Division and engage in battles throughout Europe. From rocky
beginnings in Sicily to war-winning triumphs in Germany, each mission
begins
behind enemy lines, with an intense and fully interactive airdrop. Your
ability to determine your own starting point dramatically changes the way
each mission plays out. View the entire operation from the air, and then
control your parachute to choose your landing spot. On the ground, gather
your senses and *****s the terrain. A wide variety of authentic,
customizable weapons are at your disposal, each with distinct
characteristics. Choose your path in this free roaming FPS environment.
Medal of Honor Airborne will also feature exceptionally photo-realistic
characters, adding to the intensity of the cinematic, story-driven game.
"Medal of Honor Airborne is a step in a new direction for the franchise.
While integrating our state-of-the-art, next-gen technology into every
aspect of the game, we are introducing innovations that will redefine the
series and impact the genre as a whole," explained Patrick Gilmore, VP and
Executive Producer at EALA. "By fully controlling the airdrop from your
very
first step through landing, Medal of Honor Airborne adds a new dimension
of
player choice by letting you decide where every mission begins and how it
plays out."
The Medal of Honor Airborne development team continues to ensure that the
ideals and integrity of the prestigious congressional Medal of Honor are
accurately reflected in the game. The producers sought counsel from
numerous
expert sources to make certain the game is historically accurate and as
true
to the WWII Airborne experience as possible. Serving as a military
spokesperson for Medal of Honor Airborne, Capt. Dale Dye, who has worked
as
the Military Technical Advisor for the last 7 Medal of Honor games, will
help to create a truly authentic experience.
