Last Day of Steam's Promotional EA Week Gives Battlefield, Medal of Honor Discounts

Last year, EA and Valve collaborated for a week of very attractive sales deals, and even though the deals were leaked prematurely, the event was still a major success that was very well-received by gamers, evident in the sales EA recorded during that period. Following last year's success, we got another week of great deals on EA's most popular titles. Today marks the final day of this year's EA Week, and if you've been considering getting yourself a copy of any Battlefield or Medal of Honor title, today's the day!

If you're not sure what to spend your money on, here's a run-down of all the games you can get today:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2, offered for just $6.80 (66% off its regular price), quickly became one of the most popular and active military shooters of last year, and one of the games to offer the most serious competition to the Call of Duty series. Set in present times, the game incorporates the traditional Battlefield gameplay (massive battles across large open terrains, unique different classes to play as, heavy use of vehicles), giving it a highly stylized visual theme and refining balance as much as possible. It was this title that most fans of the BF series saw as the most balanced and enjoyable one.

In addition, you can get the expansion pack for the game, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, for $7.49 - or 50% off its regular price. This game takes the battle to the jungles of Vietnam though in a more modern and stylized way than what we saw in Battlefield: Vietnam a few years ago. Last but not least in the Battlefield BC2 department, we have the SPECACT Kit Upgrade for $2.99, which is a DLC pack that gives you a few extra tools for use on the battlefield.

And if you want to get the complete Battlefield 2 experience, you can just buy the Battlefield 2 Complete Collection for $5.00, 75% less than its regular price of $20.

EA are also known among shooter fans for their Medal of Honor series, games from which are also offered at a discount today. First we have the 2010 reboot of the first game in the series, titled simply Medal of Honor. Known for its advanced customization options in multiplayer, as well as offering a moderately good single player experience (something which military shooter developers have lately been ignoring more and more). The game is offered at $14.99, or a 50% discount.

And at the end of the list we have Medal of Honor: Airborne for $4.99, an older title in the series which came out in 2007 and featured extensive aerial combat and paratrooper action. With its dynamic and involved single player campaign, this is one of the best solo games in the series according to most fans.

So if you're feeling bored shooting up all the same enemies over and over again, why not refresh your gameplay and expand your library with something classy, and engage yourself in some high-quality military warfare? We can only advise you to hurry and catch those deals before they're over, because they're definitely worth it.
