The Medal of Honor beta is now closed and we want to thank you, PlayStation fans, for supporting us! The turnout was tremendous and we could not have asked for a better experience.
It is always great to do a true beta like this, because at the end of the day, this game is for you, the gamers. We received some amazing feedback and opted to extend the beta to make sure that we were able to hear as much of it as we could. Twitter, Facebook, and our forums have been blowing up with comments and we have been taking many notes.
We have learned a lot, and we wanted to take this opportunity to run down some of the major changes/fixes we have made to the game as a direct result of your feedback.
Improved Hit Detection
This was a very big issue and came up many times in the forums. We are glad to say that hit detection has been vastly improved. We really tightened up the mechanics and essentially, wherever the bullet hits on the body — that is where the hit registers. It is even possible to shoot and have the bullet go between someone’s legs – it is that precise!
Weapon Pickups
Out of ammo? No longer do you need to find an ammo crate. Find the nearest dead enemy/friendly and pick up their weapon. And remember, the knife knows no ammunition, so if you really want to be Tier 1 — pull out that bad boy and start slashing your way to victory.
Support Actions Balanced
We heard the outcry and we have made adjustments. The support actions were tweaked and are now more difficult to achieve. There is always a fine line between what is too hard and what is too easy, but we think we have balanced it pretty well. It is just not fun when you are getting nailed with rocket and mortar attacks every 20 seconds.
Unlock Tree Expanded and Balanced
Your ascension to Tier 1 status will now be even more eventful. The unlock tree has been expanded for every weapon, providing an extensive series of choices.
Crash Fixes
Every beta has its crashes and the Medal of Honor beta was no different. We know it is frustrating, but it is all part of the beta process. The good news is that we have fixed the crashes and resolved a number of connectivity issues.
Major Graphic Overhaul
The graphics have been overhauled and upgraded. We are happy to report that the game looks even more spectacular than before.
Weapons
The weapons are essential to gameplay, obviously, and we made sure to concentrate on getting them right. The list is long and the changes are many. From zoom spread to damage inflicted, rest assured that every weapon has been modified.
These changes and fixes are just the tip of the iceberg. As we move toward the game’s release, we continue to improve the game every single day.
Make sure you follow us on Twitter, fan us on Facebook, and visit us at the official website for up-to-the-date Medal of Honor news and information.
pull out that bad boy and start slashing your way to victory.
No! don’t encourage the noob runners that kill the game!
anyways.. Will definitely get limited edition as soon as I can!!
For the people complaining about the control problems (knife when you aim), of course it was fixed, how the hell do you expect a game like this not to have that fixed??
and @49 wow.. just wow… have you ever heard of different games that provide different gameplay for different people?? Be more biased next times will you…
AWESOME! thanks alot guys I actually really liked the beta and was on it more than any other final build game,the graphics were stunning,the gameplay was great!now I trust it will even be better!
with better hit detection and no 1-second lag when getting killed it will be perfect I am really thankful and happy for the work of art u guys are letting us experience.
i haven’t had the chance to play this but honestly i don’t need another FPS right now. unless the single player is the most epic thing ever and the online is must play i won’t be getting this any time soon. besides i think without Destruction 2.0 it’s going to get real boring real fast just like Call of Duty. i’ll stick with BFBC2.
what about the death animation?
I am so stoked about this game that I bought a PS3 just to have THE best version of this game! Sounds like the devs take feedback to heart and actually care about making a killer game. Any chance of some pics of this updated graphic overhaul Mr. Pruitt?
That is nice to hear, the beta was ok but needed a few fixes. I see most of the issues I encounter are been solve. Also i notice in the beta that the game need like background noises, more environment and soldiers talking it sounded too boring. But we’ll see if I have the money for the game, because so many games are coming and now im not having my best economic time lol.
I Never Got To Play But Watch Vids On Youtube But Look Interesting :(
Lets be honest here dice, youve never been very good at making troop combat, the only reason battlefield is so popular is the vehicles, and the squad play..
NOT the troop combat. Having played the beta since the release i would like to thank you for letting me play it, as it takes some stones to let people play a broken mess before the game comes out.
I have no doubt that you have fixed some of the smaller issues, but i think the problem is much deeper than just the coating, i think the core of this shooting game is bad.
I cant help but think these “day 1” people are paid or…well i guess some people can like bad games.
Heres hoping the SP is decent.
I would like for there to be another demo or at least some new multiplayer gameplay so I can see how improved the graphics are. That was my main problem. How the multiplayer looked like complete crap compared to the single player.
Wait, so is the knife gonna be something you can carry? I would rather it be like it is in the Beta, just easier to hit.
When Islamic propagandists light up the airwaves decrying how evil Americans entertain themselves by killing Afghanis in a popular video game, the Politically-Correct Left will launch a crusade in Congress that will make the Hot Coffee mod outrage seem mild. Then when it gets out that Islamic Fundamentalists are using the game as a tool to train insurgents on killing US troops the Conservative Right is going to jump in with both feet. There’s a media-s**tstorm headed EA’s way, and I have no sympathy for them.
Nice to see a developer interacting so close with the community. Based on the improvements on multiplayer and how great the single player looks, I think this is a day 1 purchase :) .
Please, for the love of god, fix the issue that makes the game pause for a brief second when you die. Maybe somebody has mentioned this or maybe it has already been dealt with. Hell, maybe I’m the only person that it even bothers. It just really starts to get on my nerves after I’ve been playing for a while.
That has been fixed :)
