Medal of Honor Warfighter Adding Zero Dark Thirty DLC

Medal of Honor Warfighter will add two new maps from Zero Dark Thirty, a Sony Pictures film about the assassination of Osama Bin Laden. The maps will include the Darra Gun Market, Pakistan’s illegal gun bazaar, as well as Chitral, set north of Pakistan and bordered by Afghanistan to the west and China to the north.

The pack will be available on December 17th for $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points), timed with the theatrical opening of Zero Dark Thirty. EA will donate a minimum of $1 million worth of proceeds from the pack to Project Honor, a program that makes charitable donations to nonprofit veteran organizations. The new maps will be free to owners of the Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition, which is any copy from the first printing of the game (guaranteed to anyone who pre-orders).

Zero Dark Thirty is directed The Hurt Locker’s Kathryn Bigelow and written by Mark Boal. The film revolves around the Seal Team Six mission that led to the assassination of Bin Laden and stars Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Chris Pratt, Mark Strong, Kyle Chandler, Edgar Ramirez, Harold Perrineau and Stephen Dillane.

Medal of Honor Warfighter will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 23rd. Check out our impressions of the game’s multiplayer for more, or our interview with Danger Close head Greg Goodrich for how Warfighter strives to be different.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter trailer - SEAL Team 6 Combat Training Series: Episode 1

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is toting itself as one of the most authentic shooters to release this year. To support that claim, the developers at Danger Close have called in the Navy SEALs for their help and technical know-how of being Tier 1 Operators. 

In episode one (in the ten-part series), an actual SEAL Team 6 sniper breaks down the role of the combat sniper, giving a hint as to how the long-range marksmen will play when the game releases on October 26. Check out the full interview in the video below.

Battlefield 4 Will Stay in Modern Setting

After being randomly revealed in a Medal of Honor: Warfighter promotion, we now have more details about DICE's in-development Battlefield 4. In a talk at GDC Europe, DICE's Karl Magnus Troedsson confirmed the setting of the game.

As reported by Joystiq, "We still want to stay in this genre, the modern day as it is. We feel this is a place we can be and continue with the series. Battlefield 4 can live in this space and be very successful."

He also hinted that another Bad Company game isn't out of the question, stating, "I know Battlefield 4 is probably the most creative name we ever could come up with. I can't comment any more on that games because it's all secret."

Perhaps we'll hear more specifics after publisher Electronic Arts gets Medal of Honor: Warfighter out the door this fall. A closed beta test for Battlefield 4 is expected later next year after several more downloadable content releases for Battlefield 3.
