Medal Of Honor Warfighter - Community Action Day

Last week, IGN and its partner site AskMen took a handful of carefully selected readers for Special Forces exercises with EA to celebrate the release of Medal of Honor Warfighter. We shipped eight dedicated community members to a secret location in Hampshire for a day of Airsoft activities including a four-way deathmatch, designed to recreate Warfighter's frenetic co-op mode, before letting our two teams loose on the multiplayer.

Check out the video and the photos below for a taste of what it was like going to war with IGN.

Time to test those thumbs instead of the trigger fingers.

No time to talk. There's a war to fight.
