In addition to the Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition, players who pre-order through select retailers will also unlock specialty content including:
- Medal of Honor Warfighter SFOD-D Pointman Pack – Gamers will unlock early the U.S. SFOD-D Point Man right when they hit the online battlefield. SFOD-D is known for speed, surprise and violence of action.

- Medal of Honor Warfighter British SAS Spec Ops Pack – Available via Origin.com, the British SAS Spec Ops packs provides PC gamers with an early unlock of the British SAS Spec Ops. The SAS have served as the model for modern Special Operations around the world and have been operating in covert, low visibility roles in non-permissive environments for decades.

- Medal of Honor Warfighter Digital Deluxe Pack – PC Gamers who pre-order the PC Digital Deluxe pack at $69.99 will receive all content from the British SAS Spec Ops pack as well as the Russian Spetsnaz Alfa Group Heavy Gunner. The Spetsnaz utilize and employ heavy weaponry more often than most Special Operations units.

Capcom’s full roster of titles on display at its booth 1047 in the South Hall of the LA Convention Center includes:
Resident Evil 6
Playable for the first time, E3 attendees will be able to see the true scope of Resident Evil 6 with a demo featuring three different missions and distinct gameplay experiences available in both single and co-op modes. Each mission is taken from one of the game’s separate stories with a different protagonist as the lead. Play as Leon S. Kennedy alongside Helena Harper and explore the dark confines of the Ivy University campus and the zombies that fill its hallways. Select Chris Redfield’s mission and head to China for an intense encounter against the deadly J’avo with BSAA colleague Piers Nivans on the rooftops of Lanshiang. The third mission in the E3 demo shifts the action to the war-torn Eastern European state of Edonia and sees Jake Muller and Sherry Berkin trying to escape the relentless pursuit of the Ustanak, one of the new B.O.W.’s being introduced in Resident Evil 6. Over the course of Resident Evil 6 players will experience how both the stories and the action of each protagonist and their partners cross and interweave ahead of the final climax in China.
Resident Evil 6 promises to be the dramatic horror experience of the year when it releases on October 2, 2012 for the Xbox 360 ® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system with a Windows PC version to follow.
Lost Planet 3
Attendees at E3 will be amongst the first in the world to experience Lost Planet 3, with the extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterize the Lost Planet® series returning, harsher than ever before. The game centers on Jim Peyton, a Utility Rig pilot who has taken on a hazardous but lucrative contract with Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) on the planet of E.D.N. III. The rig acts as Jim’s home away from home as well as offering him protection from the ever changing climate. Players will soon discover though that the rig’s array of tools are just as useful at taking out the indigenous Akrid as they are fulfilling his contract work. Outside the rig the gameplay switches to on-foot battles with Jim at the mercy of the elements, combining gun and melee based combat to survive all that E.D.N. III can throw at him. The E3 demo sees players experience action both in and outside the rig as Jim sets about locating another pocket of the planet’s thermal energy. Cross vast snowy plains before heading on foot into a deserted base and then returning to the rig for a final showdown.
There are many secrets locked away on E.D.N.III and Lost Planet 3 will ultimately unveil further mysteries when it launches in early 2013 for Xbox 360, PS3™ and Windows PC.
DmC Devil May Cry
E3 2012 sees the welcome return of Dante, one of video gaming’s most iconic characters in a two level playable demo of DmC Devil May Cry. In Under Watch players will need to fight their way through waves of enemies while the world itself is also out for Dante’s blood.

Switch between Dante’s Angel and Demon states on the fly to dramatically alter the effects of his actions and weapons to link attacks, perform combos, activate Dante’s Devil Trigger and earn that highly sought after Triple S-level.
