Medal of Honor: Warfighter 'Hunt' DLC based on hunt for Bin Laden
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is flirting with controversy again in its 'Hunt' map pack. The DLC delivers a pair of maps based on locations in Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelow's upcoming movie Zero Dark Thirty. The movie focuses on America's decade-long search for Bin Laden.
The first map in the Hunt pack - called the Zero Dark Thirty pack Stateside - is The Darra Gun Market, and an official descriptor posted on the Medal of Honor: Warfighter blog reads, "The Darra Gun Market is located in a tribal land where the rules are defined by only two principles – hospitality and revenge. No police are allowed to enter the area and all the laws are made by the tribal leader."
"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. Almost no outsiders ever see this town. What better place to hide than where only locales and known tribal members are allowed to enter."
The second map, Chitral described as, "another area of Pakistan thought for a time to be one of Bin Laden’s hideouts. 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."
"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."
The pack launches December 17 on all formats. It's free to pre-order customers, but will cost £7.99 for everyone else, CVG reports. £1 of each DLC sale will go EA's Project Honor war veteran fund.
Here are shots of both maps, plus a trailer:
