Medal of Honor PS3 Beta Launches

EA has announced that the Medal of Honor beta is now available for the Playstation 3.  Developed by DICE, Medal of Honor multiplayer delivers world class action and dedicated server support.  The Medal of Honor multiplayer beta features two heart-pounding modes set across two maps inspired by real world locations: Helmand Valley and Kabul City Ruins.  In Team Assault mode, players must rely on their raw skill and map knowledge to stay alive in intense and close quarter combat.  In Combat Mission, a tactical and team-based mode, gamers fight through a series of objectives revealed through an engaging  narrative.  Both modes pit two teams of 12 players (totally 24 players) against one another with realistic destruction, tactical support actions, and a weapon customization system with modifications that generate hundreds of combinations.

“In selecting a studio to create our multiplayer, there was no clearer choice than DICE.  When it comes to online gameplay, they are world class,” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer on Medal of Honor.  ”We’re excited to be partnering with DICE to deliver a single-player/multiplayer experience that perfectly complement one another. Though the modes and maps are different, both sides of the game carry through the same authentic sentiment of today’s soldiers who are fighting today’s war.”

The Medal of Honor beta will be available for the XBox360 as well, probably next week.  It was supposed to launch today but it has been delayed.  No reason has been given for this delay but once the reason has been made public we will be sure to report on it here.  Until then though enjoy the Playstation 3 version of the beta and tell us what you think of it.
