To celebrate the announcement of the Medal of Honor Limited Edition, EA has unlocked the MP7 in the BETA.

The MP7 has been unlocked and is now available in the Medal of Honor multiplayer beta!  This is your chance to check it out and get comfortable with the weapon designed with the Special Operations Community in mind.

 

The MP7 will be availabe in the Medal of Honor Limited Edition.  You can find out more about that and view the trailer right here.

EA announces that Medal of Honor will have a Limited Edition. In the limited edition you will have access to MP7, a unique weapon utilized by Tier 1 Operators in the field. Limited Edition owners will also benefit from day-one access to the TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns, while others must rank up to secure these weapon unlocks.

In today’s war, there is a new enemy, new weaponry and a new warrior built to tackle the toughest missions and harshest terrain. He is the Tier 1 Operator, and on October 12, 2010 Medal of Honor players will have a chance to step into the boots of this elite soldier. Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced a Limited Edition version of Medal of Honor that will grant players exclusive access to the MP7, a unique weapon utilized by Tier 1 Operators in the field. Limited Edition owners will also benefit from day-one access to the TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns, while others must rank up to secure these weapon unlocks. Gamers can pre-order the Limited Edition now at www.medalofhonor.com at no additional cost.

“Access to a weapon like the MP7 will allow players to experience a tool developed with the Special Operations Community in mind”

“Access to a weapon like the MP7 will allow players to experience a tool developed with the Special Operations Community in mind,” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer of Medal of Honor. “With its light weight, high rate of fire and its ability to penetrate body armor, the MP7 handles like a pistol yet allows targets to be engaged like a rifle.”

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.

The Limited Edition of Medal of Honor launches on October 12, 2010 in North America (Oct. 15 in EU) for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PC.

 Patrick Liu, DICE Producer has an update for us concerning the BETA. He list some of the stuff they are working on fixing in the BETA, the PC will be getting an update soon and the Xbox 360 BETA is on its way, no time frame though.

The development teams at DICE and EA would like to thank all of you participating in the PlayStation 3 and PC beta! The beta is now live on both the PlayStation 3 and PC, and available to anyone who owns a beta redemption key. You can redeem your key at www.medalofhonor.com/beta.

We are gathering a lot of constructive, informative, and crucial feedback from you that will be influential in the development of the game as we move forward.

As the beta progresses, we’ll be addressing critical issues based on the information you provide. Our first patch planned for the PlayStation 3 will be going live in the next several days, and address a number of stability issues, including but not limited to:

• Various in-game crashes (including fixing bugs around scoreboard access, and support actions received while using AK47 & AKs74u)
• Improving performance, with greatest gains in crowded environments
• Improving matchmaking configurations
• Improving join-friend functionality

We have a PC patch in the works as well, and will have more details on that in the near future. In the meantime, please know that we are aware of the existing crash issues and have heard your concerns with the front-end - and while a more PC friendly menu, toned down HUD, weapon recoil tweaks, and balancing fixes are all on the way, some of our planned responses to your feedback may not be implemented until the final release version of the game.

Please continue to give us your feedback via the official Medal of Honor forums, and follow us on Twitter (or visit us on Facebook) for up to the minute news.

Work on the Xbox 360 beta is also progressing; we will continue to update all of you on this and hope to have a release date soon. Again, thank you for your continued patience!

- Patrick Liu, Producer
