Beta Coming Soon to Microsoft Xbox 360
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jul 01, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) today announced the second wave of
the Medal of Honor(TM) beta, extending personal invites to many EA
PlayStation(R) and PC shooter fans. By visiting http://gunclub.ea.com/
players can sign up to receive benefits ranging from in-game content
unlocks, early access to beta tests and demos, as well as the hottest
news and exclusive access to development teams. The Medal of Honor
development team also confirmed that it is hard at work bringing the
beta to the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system at quality. The
free Medal of Honor beta program gives players on all three
platforms an opportunity to experience the authentic action that the
Game Critics nominated for "Best Online Multiplayer Award" during E3
2010.
"We would like to extend a gracious thank you to all of the PS3 and PC
players for sharing their candid feedback on Medal of Honor and
for pointing out areas of improvement. This is the beauty of a beta -
your feedback will make the game better for everyone," said Greg
Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor. "Unfortunately, we have
experienced a delay with the beta on the Xbox 360. To the Xbox 360
community, we say thank you for your patience. We are working to fix the
issues that have caused this delay. We are eager to get the game up and
running and look forward to receiving your constructive and candid
feedback which will certainly help ensure the game exceeds expectations
this Fall."
When the Medal of Honor beta arrives on the Xbox 360, it will be
open to players on that platform who have pre-ordered the game and will
be extended to ensure Xbox 360 players have ample time to play and
provide feedback for the final product. For more information on beta key
distribution details go to www.medalofhonor.com/beta.
For the first time in its 11-year history, Medal of Honor leaves
the WWII theatre and enters the modern day setting of war-torn
Afghanistan told through the lens of a small band of fictional
characters. Medal of Honor introduces players to the Tier 1
Operator, an elite warrior and relatively unknown instrument of the U.S.
Military that operates under the National Command Authority, taking on
missions no one else can handle.
Medal of Honor launches on October 12, 2010 in North America
(Oct. 15 in EU) for the PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system,
Xbox 360(R) videogame and entertainment system and PC. Follow the game on
