Medal of Honor beta extended to July 31, Xbox version still offline

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 20th 2010 7:00PM

Curious as to why you're still able to hop onto the online battlefields of Medal of Honor, when the beta was scheduled to end last Sunday? The game's official blog recently updated with the announcement that the multiplayer beta test had been extended to July 31 for the PS3 and PC versions of the game.

This extension could possibly be due to the ever-lengthening delay of the 360 version of the beta test, which the blog post also referenced, stating, "we are continuing to work with Microsoft on the Xbox 360 beta and are dedicated to delivering it as soon as possible." We suggest trying to get it in before October 12, at which point a beta test would be fairly redundant.

if its better than MW2 than i wont mind waiting

@Special Agent Bob
hell anythings etter than MW2 at this point

Better than MW2? Eh, I dont like MW2 at all. But I also hated the MoH beta, it's hard to choose which one is worse.

@Special Agent Bob

Somehow MoH manages to be worse.

@Nadril
is...is...that even possible

@Special Agent Bob Dude it's nothing like MW2. It's just a rehashed of BC2 Multiplayer. The PC beta has a ton of bugs that they never even bothered to fix. Such as remapping keys not remapping and crashing the game, toggled crouch not working, turning off toggled crouch so then you're not even able to crouch at all and Super sensitive movement if you try to use a controller. So at this point I believe it's a waste.

@Auxois
Didn't play BF:BC 2 beta... most of those things were like that in beta as well. The most frustrating is the mouse sensitivity defaulting every time even though it shows where it should be.

Oh DICE, please stop failing.

They could be focusing on Mirrors Edge 2 right now. Oh, how I really, really desire to have that game.

Or maybe focusing on some real DLC for BC2. BC1 map pack plz.

@Shadowbender Yes Mirror's Edge 2. Man that would be awesome!

Not really seeing as how millions of matches are still played on it daily . . .

Meh. I honestly don't know who in their right mind would buy this instead of all the other options this holiday (Fallout: New Vegas, Fable 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Halo: Reach, etc.).

@Shadowbender

The same people who buy Call of Duty every year?

@Shadowbender I was talking about our audience.

@Shadowbender

I'm pretty sure most of "our audience" still bought MW2...

@Shadowbender
I'll pick this up day one but I'm more excited to see what EA does with the single player than what Dice does with the MP.

@Shadowbender

@Faenix

Fail, suppose to say Fallout New Vegas and SOCOM 4 are my main interests this holiday

Come on, Microsoft.

Let them get the Beta up there! :)

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze
I honestly think that MS is holding this as part of the exclusive DLC deal with black ops to get people to buy black ops for activision

I wouldn't hold your breath on this one xbox users.

most FPS games are a beta test until the first patch after release. it seems that way anyway.

Not impressed with the beta.

I have an idea:

MAKE SOME REAL MAPS FOR BAD COMPANY 2 YOU ASSHATS

I have an idea:

MAKE SOME REAL BAD COMPANY 2 MAPS INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR TIME TRYING TO CLONE CALL OF DUTY ALL THE FRICKIN TIME

@Osnaz
Comment system fail, please downrank.

To Joystiq: Hire the guys who made the gizmodo comment system

I'm sorry but the beta put me off quite badly.

I did not enjoy the 2 hours I spent playing it, the shooting is too stiff, the movement is poor, I hate hearing the same stupid song every time I died.

A very lousy and crap beta, glad I got in through Steam for having BC2 because I was at one point considering a pre-order just for the beta.

It feels more like an alpha rather than a beta build.

@BoBsS
and they've only got 2 months to polish it up....
I highly doubt this will turn out good.

Bad beta is better than no beta at this point...Let's get a move on!!

Why so much hate?

I didn't have many problems with the game... The only gripes I really had were with the menus and not being able to exit the game when a round ends.

The long range battles got a little annoying when I started dying lots but it wasn't too bad, just changed the class and the problem was solved!

The levels alone make me like this game way more enjoyable than MW2 for me. having an actual "world" instead of a square battle arena made all the difference for me.

What a short public beta.

It stinks when betas are used as a marketing tool rather than to actually play test the game.

@Deschain

Oh and it stinks even worse considering all the issues with the game.

Atrocious hit detection
Stiff movement (Hey DICE Let me use my "a" and "d" keys when sprinting!)
Horrible UI for everything especially the main menu and server list.
NO PRONE
Unlimited sprint + intanta kill melee (what happened to the days of CS style knifing?)

More to boot but these are my main issues.

@Deschain
+1

And also to force people to pre-order your game

Of course ending a beta with so many problems with the game still isn't really a good idea either. I would like to play the game at least once with a patch to fix at least some of the bugs.

I actually had a great time with the game. While it's certainly not original, the gameplay mechanics were very solid and the maps were well designed. But I think one of the best features that no game I've seen had, are games with players of the same skill ranking. It makes it easy for newcomers to jump in and pros to have fun, that's a really under appreciated feature.

it honestly seems they are not even trying to get this beta out at all for the 360. Pretty much it's like they're saying "Oh you want the beta do ya? You really want to play it? Well screw you, you're not getting it. Play our broken PS3/PC beta. No beta for you 360 people."

I'm not really excited that they're extending the beta. It was a very bland game and reminded me of Modern Warfare 2 to much. I don't think this will pull the Modern Warfare 2 fans away.

Frontline and the story seem to be only reason of me getting this...

I have yet to play Medal of Honor but from what I've seen, it looks a lot like Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Medal of Honor seems rushed to me.

What the hell is delaying the 360 beta? They must be trying to tie it in with some product to increase sales cause I don't see any other reason for the delay.

It's available for the 360 now...

What is this article talking about, the beta is out now, I saw 2 of my friends playing it like a few minutes ago :/

I barely ever even get on this beta. Shooters are pretty blah, overall, to me. Some can be fun for a moment, though, but they end up getting shelved pretty quickly after the single player campaign is over and online isn't something I can't really get into, although I've tried many a time. It just never takes with me. Someone can have my beta. Lol.

I was fairly excited to get invited in this beta..I was hoping it got me away from MW2.... The shit got weak after bout an hr n a half. They could have done a lot better...just boring..targeting sucks.. repetitive.. wonka wonka!
