On the release of the Medal Of Honor Beta, high expectations were created. DICE had created the multiplayer and we were all looking forward to another Call Of Duty front-running competitor as in the past. Unfortunately, the beta was riddled with bugs, glitches and even, strangely enough, lag. It was a disappointment all round. Some of my own experiences on it were a little strange. Teleporting terrorists and grenades to the face failing to kill is all I'm going to say.

However, EA are aware of the huge obstacles it hit and a 200MB update was released soon after launch to combat some of the biggest and most obvious.

As of today, the beta is closed. EA have listened heavily to the community and these are the changes they've listed they've made. I believe they've also put one or two issues to the side that they will be fixing as we speak.

[size=+1][b]Improved Hit Detection:[/b][/size]

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!

[size=+1][b]Weapon Pickups:[/b][/size]

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.

[size=+1][b]Support Actions Balanced:[/b][/size]

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.

[size=+1][b]Unlock Tree Expanded and Balanced:[/b][/size]

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.

[size=+1][b]Crash Fixes:[/b][/size]

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.

[size=+1][b]Major Graphic Overhaul:[/b][/size]

The graphics have been overhauled and upgraded. We are happy to report that the game looks even more spectacular than before.

[size=+1][b]Weapons:[/b][/size]

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.


These changes will be massively beneficial to the game, however, EA have caused huge damage to their game's reputation by releasing the beta before they should have. These updates are brilliant for Medal Of Honor, but token in other games. At least now it should have as smoothly working multiplayer as Battlefield Bad Company 2.

So, once again, are you going to buy Medal Of Honor? I'm unsure myself but I somehow know I'll end up buying it (as long as it's not banned in the UK!).

This is pure evidence as to why Black Ops needs a beta also..
That aside, thanks for the heads-up Knight.

Still needs a Killcam of some sort.

Aww well i deleted the beta ages ago.

Finally some fixes in a game after a beta. Many games have a beta, but don't chance the final product at all.

black ops needs a beta to!

I hope there a 2nd beta with this new huge improvement,

if it has a killcam system its just goin to look like CoD! from the online trailers iv seen it does basically look like a more defined/real lookin game though

I still think its gonna be just like bfbc2...

thank god. im not buying right away though. im gonna wait til i read reviews and stuff
