Harder enemy types are encountered as the game progresses.ĭevelopment of Airborne started in late 2004 when the game designers wanted a new game that would "really revolutionize the Medal of Honor scene". The idea of a paratrooper-based gameplay came up and as such a free-roaming environment was needed, which became the key focus of the game. More points are awarded for headshots and melee kills.Īnd finally, instead of facing standard enemies with randomized appearances and weapons, the player faces predetermined enemy types, ranging from the Italian Blackshirt to the SS Storm Elite. Notable also is that each weapon in the game (including grenades) can be upgraded by killing enemies. The name of the specific flak tower is not mentioned in the game.Įach mission is introduced by a briefing cutscene at the beginning, and another cutscene takes place inside the aircraft, preparing to jump.
He and his men must battle their way down, encountering heavy resistance, to place demolition charges and destroy it. The final mission, Der Flakturm, has the player landing atop a partially destroyed flak tower (flakturm). The fifth is Operation Varsity, which has the player sent to a Nazi weapon factory in Essen, Germany, to destroy various targets, including tanks, a railway gun, and an armored train. The fourth is Operation Market Garden, in which the player inserts into Nijmegen and must battle his way through the destroyed town, to ultimately confront a Tiger tank at Nijmegen Bridge. The third is Operation Neptune, set on Utah Beach, with the player inserting behind German lines to take out key objectives to prevent them being used against the Operation Overlord invasion force. Objectives here include destroying radio equipment, fuel tanks, and an ammunition dump. The next mission is Operation Avalanche, set in an abandoned archaeological dig near Rome. Objectives include killing three German officers and assaulting a machine gun nest in the fortified Town Hall. The story begins with a brief training level, set in North Africa, but then takes the player to the first mission: Operation Husky, set in the Italian village of Adanti. Airborne employs a nonlinear gameplay style whereby the player can start the game anywhere in the map by directing where they land, as opposed to previous linear FPS games where the start point and direction is already laid out, such as Allied Assault. The game uses a massively improved version of Unreal Engine 3. Airbornealso features a multiplayer mode available for online play, where users have the choice of fighting for the Allies and parachuting down to the battlefield, or fighting for the Axis and starting on the ground, defending the position from enemy paratroopers. In the single-player mode, the player takes on the role of PFC/CPL Boyd Travers, a fictional paratrooper in the US 82nd Airborne Division. Missions include various insertions into Italy, northern France, the Netherlands and Germany, each one beginning with a jump behind enemy lines.
