Medal of Honor: Airborne

It’s raining soldiers

I signed on with the 82nd Airborne because it promised that its new approach to fighting the war would be the best way to serve my country in this terrible crisis. It’s been a tough three years over here in Europe, but the Airborne has proved that it can take the good fight for freedom to new heights. Over the last six operations in my tour, I’ve really done my part to stop Jerry! Before I jumped out of a C-47 for the first time over Italy, I had some serious doubts about being a paratrooper. I had heard the horror stories from the battlefield— this seemingly never-ending war has worn down many good soldiers who are now just sick of the constant stress of battle. Thankfully, from the moment I jumped out of that plane, I was engaged in one of the most intense adventures of my life. Dropping onto a rooftop in the village of Adanti, I was overzealous and botched my first landing. Luckily, none of the Italian Blackshirts saw me, and I quickly took out several enemy defensive positions. My six missions were challenging, but they flew by. Of course, I can always practice airdrops with other members of the Airborne in simulated war games, but the 12-person participant limit is a little disappointing. I know this is a terrible thing to say, but sometimes, I wish the war wasn’t over. Being a part of the Airborne has brought an exciting new dimension to combat, making me often wish I was back on the front lines.


For: Parachuting into battles, grants more freedom and adds verticality to combat.
Against: The six missions are over too quickly, and the AI is inconsistent.
