it seems the cover star for ea reboot medal of honor bears quite a resemblance to a real-life military man -- and not the fictional lumberjack uncle we like to think resides in every canadian family. life did a feature on the armed forces in afghanistan back in 2002, and one of the individuals (codenamed ''''''cowboy'''''') highlighted in several photos (via ugo) seems to match the one highlighted on the fps cover.

ea did mention working closely with ''''''tier 1 operators from the us special operations community,'''''' so it seems possible that the main character could be inspired by (if not actually based on) mr. cowboy. we've contacted ea to get some intel on this. we'll let you know, if we haven't been taken out for yesterday's zz top joke.mock the medal of honor box art and this man may kill you originally appeared on joystiq on thu, 03 dec 2009 17:00:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
