Battlefield 3 beta access for Medal of Honor Limited Edition
August 2nd, 2010 |
EA DICE has announced that it will give players who order Medal of Honor‘s Limited Edition will get access to the beta of the highly-anticipated Battlefield 3.
Battlefield has seen three Xbox 360 titles, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Battlefield: Bad Company, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Modern Combat was a scaled-back version of the PC’s Battlefield 2. This will mark the first time that a flagship Battlefield title will come to a console.
DICE did include a little gotcha in the announcement. The offer is only valid if Battlefield 3′s beta is available within a year from Medal of Honor’s release. You’ll also need to be over eighteen to be eligible, and Xbox Live subscribers must have a Gold account to play.
As for Medal of Honor itself, having tried out the Beta I find it fun, but a little too much like Call of Duty. Now, that’s great if you’re a Call of Duty fan — but I was hoping that it would be blended with a little bit of the Battlefield feel.
Medal of Honor will be out on October 12 in North America, and October 15 in Europe. No details yet on Battlefield 3.
