At this point, the connection is limited to the game's multiplayer - and there's no indication that players will actively search for the infamous Taliban leader as part of the title's narrative. A few weeks back we reported that Danger Close had enlisted a member of the Bin Laden mission squad, SEAL Team Six, for consultation on Warfighter - but, given that EA had worked with other SEAL operatives in the past (for authenticity), there wasn't any reason to believe that they'd try to tie the game to the actual terrorist raid. Previously the game had simply relied on the experience of Tier One operatives - not outright promoted the game by asserting that players would partially recreate the search for a real life terrorist. The official EA breakdown ends with the following statement: " Medal of Honor Warfighter steps into the boots of the soldiers who led the hunt for Bin Laden and takes you to the locations where only the most elite dare enter."Īdmittedly, the donation to veteran charities is admirable but the heavy reliance on "Hunting Bin Laden" gameplay is definitely a new marketing angle for Warfighter. There are over 1200 small towns scattered throughout the Chitral district and finding someone who doesn't want to be found would be next to impossible. A rural mountainous area filled with deep narrow valleys, it has many places that are inaccessible several months each year because of snow and road conditions. What better place to hide than where only locales and known tribal members are allowed to enter.Ĭhitral is another area of Pakistan thought for a time to be one of Bin Laden's hideouts. This small town in Pakistan is home to dozens of back-alley shops and self-taught machinists who are in many cases building guns by hand. No police are allowed to enter the area and all the laws are made by the tribal leader. The Darra Gun Market is located in a tribal land where the rules are defined by only two principles - hospitality and revenge.
Here's a breakdown of what players can expect from the two maps, prefaced by Danger Close Games with: " The decade long hunt to find Bin Laden went through some of the most remote and dangerous parts of the world." $1 of each purchase will be donated to veteran charities through EA's Project HONOR program.

The pack will be free to anyone who purchases the Medal of Honor: Warfighter limited edition - with downloaders paying $9.99 on their console store of choice. The "Zero Dark Thirty" pack (check out the trailer as the top of the page) will deliver two maps, The Darra Gun Market and Chitral - locations that reportedly play a part in the upcoming (albeit fictionalized) account of the assault on Bin Laden's hideout. Now, Medal of Honor is once again trying to blur the lines between games and reality - by marketing their DLC pack, "Zero Dark Thirty" ("Hunt" for UK players), in connection with the upcoming film (of the same name) from academy award winner Kathryn Bigelow about the hunt and killing of Osama bin Laden.

Making matters worse, the title's PR campaign took a hit a month back when Executive Producer Greg Goodrich started a series of featured blog posts, detailing the Warfighter weapons by providing links to actual gun sellers - enabling players to purchase the real world counterparts of their in-game weapon arsenal. Despite showing promise in our hands-on preview, interest in the Medal of Honor followup has been comparatively low - leading the publisher to reduce sales estimates for the soon-to-be-released title. Electronic Arts and developer Danger Close Games have been struggling to position their upcoming first person military shooter, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, alongside genre heavyweights, Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
