EA confirmed today that the beta for their upcoming shooter Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be available exclusively on the XBox 360 this friday.
The direct sequel to 2010's Medal of Honor, Warfighter continues the story of the Tier One operators, which multiplayer puts you in the combat boots of. The multiplayer in Warfighter features 12 playable Tier One special forces units from 10 countries, including the British SAS, Navy SEALS, and Russian Spetsnaz, all of whom wil be playable in the beta. Check out the trailer below!
EA really went above and beyond the "Call of Duty," (someone had to say it) using nearly two dozen former Navy SEALS to act as consultants to ensure authenticity of the game. They also released an entire series of "behind the scene" videos in which said SEALS describe just what their job entailed, some of which you can watch below.
