The lights are on
Yesterday EA’s return to the Medal of Honor was announced to be set in modern day Afghanistan. Cover art for the game was even tossed to curious gamers, and we all pondered about the beastly, bearded man. It turns out the grizzled warrior looks a lot like a real life soldier who goes by “Cowboy.”Cowboy is a United States Special Forces officer who bears a striking resemblance to the man on the cover. He also appeared in LIFE Magazine in a piece about the war in Afghanistan. If Medal of Honor’s cover dude is in fact based on the man it wouldn’t be too surprising, considering EA worked closely with Special Forces members in an effort to create an authentic experience.For now the resemblance can only be hashed up as a coincidence. Perhaps more will be revealed in the days to come. The Medal of Honor trailer is set to appear at the 2009 VGAs on December 12, so perhaps we’ll learn more then. Regardless, if there was ever a man who looked like he could actually regenerate his health, it’s Cowboy.

All I know is I'm glad Cowboy is on our side.
Little known fact he has a gun in his beard.
Littler known fact, it is actually an armed Chocobo.
couldnt be a coincidence
That would be something to behold if they based the game on actual events.
Freaking nice beard. Anyways that is an eerie resemblance of "cowboy" on the Medal of Honor cover.
It's secretly Rob Zombie
I've seen that dude I some show about the special forces in Afghanistan, he's pretty rowdy!! :)
i read this on kotaku.com yeasterday. i guess they didn't just make this up. i guess they really want this game to be authentic. i will be watching the development of this game from now on.
I doubt it's just a coincidence.
It's him, it's gotta be....
I'm glad he's on our side... what with all those chin pubes. That's masculin power, man.
This game will be easy if I'm playing as Cowboy...enemies will just run in fear the whole time
Haha this is great.
Assuming they continue the series as an FPS, they had better add in a feature where if you look down, that beard obstructs your view, but also raises your health substantially.
Are we following the events of what he does too?
if chuck norris and batman had a baby, that'd be him
@Sean Lowery Awesome one man.
Yeah thats gonna be a pretty sweet game hopefully.
