EA Offers Gamers Access To MoH PC Beta Tests

PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Electronic Arts Inc. has announced that Medal of Honor will be recruiting PC gamers for a Multiplayer Open Beta that commences on October 5. The Open Beta will allow players an opportunity to sample Medal of Honor's rich multiplayer mode before the full game launches on October 14 in Australia and October 15 in New Zealand. For a limited time, PC gamers worldwide are invited to sample two diverse maps and two action-packed multiplayer modes. The Medal of Honor Multiplayer Open Beta will close in Australia on October 8 at 5.59pm EDT and in New Zealand on October 8 at 7.59pm NZDT. PC gamers can access the Multiplayer Open Beta at www.medalofhonor.com/pcopenbeta.

"The Open Beta of the Medal of Honor multiplayer mode will allow players to sample the authenticity and adrenaline-fueled action that the full game will offer on October 14," said Frank Gibeau, President of EA Games Label. "We also hope that by offering the Multiplayer Open Beta, we can clear up any misunderstanding about the patriotism and respect that are the foundation of this game. The Medal of Honor franchise has always shown extraordinary reverence for American and Allied soldiers -- this game is no exception."

For the first time in its 11-year history, Medal of Honor leaves the WWII theatre and enters the modern setting of war-torn Afghanistan. The game is 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 to take on missions no one else can handle.
