The title starts in Pakistan where Preacher and the rest of his team of U.S. Navy SEALS are sabotaging a black market deal by the Al-Qaeda. Medal of Honor: Warfighter shows the ins and out of solider life which not only involves what takes place on the job but also what toll it takes on the family structure.
