Just saw this and thought it would be better posted in this thread
than to start a new one.  First time I've seen this done.  Not saying
every game should do it, but I do have a certain admiration for
innovative ideas, so from that angle I thought it was kind of cool.

Sort of reminds me of one of the COD:MW games (forgot which one) that
released a bunch of "Christmas maps" on Christmas Eve, which were the
same maps folks had already been playing but with xmas lights on most
of the buildings, snow on the ground, and various decorations or
holiday additions.  Sometimes a little creativity goes a long way.


Pasted from the Origin client:

"Military Edition Extra for Veteran’s Day

In honor of active, reserve, retired and former military personnel,
Electronic Arts and Gov X are pleased to offer a privileged Medal of
Honor Warfighter – Military Edition unlock code* at no charge for a
limited time to servicemen and women who have purchased the Medal of
Honor Warfighter video game.

The exclusive Military Edition unlock code uniquely recognizes
military players by displaying the Project HONOR Eagle icon above them
as well as allowing them to access a special Project HONOR camouflage
pattern weapon skin. This identifies verified U.S. Military players
from their non-military peers – a privileged distinction that
appropriately is made broadly available at no charge to all military
Medal of Honor Warfighter game owners during this extended Veteran’s
Day weekend, from Friday, Nov. 9 through Tuesday, Nov. 13 while
supplies last. Visit http://www.govx.com/mohw for details."
