Medal Of Honor Beta you in?

Sign up guys, it should be live today.

gunclub.ea.com

I got my "in" I just can't figure out how to redeem it.

*requires a new copy of BFBC2 or VIP access.

So you have to pre-order the game to get it early, not just be a VIP member?

When I click on their link to preorder, i get redirected to www.medalofhonor.com which appears to be down at the moment. Not that I would pre-order from them anyway. I think I'll just stick with Amazon or whoever offers the better discount. Not worth paying more just to get BETA access a few days early.

Aren't betas a form of viral marketing, while testing the server load? Why couldn't anybody just sign up for it?

You need to pre order the game and have VIP status. So no, I am not in. EA should just let every person who bought BC2 on day one in. If I like the beta then I will pre-order.GrandJury

Wait, really? That's really lame considering they never said anything about preordering it before hand. I have VIP status in BC2 and I'm not going to preorder a game so I can get into a beta that I may or may not like. Not cool.

So if I want to go to GameStop and pre-order this game, they will give me a code? Because I want in.

Just waiting for my code from one of the 2 US or 2 UK stores i have ordered it from that all promise BETA access.

I don't really see the issue with pre-ordering for access. Pre-ordering usually gets you a decent deal and in the case of big releases it means that in general you get your game at the latest on release day and aint got to hunt through shops that have run out of stock!

And to be honest, it's DICE's latest multiplayer offering. Why wouldn't i do anything to get into the BETA?

....

See you all on the Afgan battlefield i guess.....eventually

Wow MASSIVE Epic fail for a beta. In order to play it today, you need to have Pre Ordered Bad Company 2, you need to have redeemed your VIP and played on line, you need to have registered and set up you gunclub crap and finally you need to have preordered MoH. WTF!!!!

That doesn't sound like VIP that sounds like a customer going WAY out of their way to buy EA games only for a rediculous run around to essentially work for EA free testing their "Beta". Freaking EA at it again.

I do have VIP. I'm going to the gun club website, I created the account. The box for "VIP" is already checked, but there is a 2nd box that says "redeem your beta key after pre-ordering medal of Honor". Then the link. Nowhere is it giving me a beta code just for being a BFBC2 VIP member, you have to BOTH be a VIP member AND pre-order through medalofhonor.com.

Apparantly medalofhonor.com link is still not working, I've got a "server is taking too long to respond" staring me in the face. So even if I wanted to follow their instructions I coulnd't becuase the link is down every time I try it (early today I got in just long enough to see the medalofhonor.com page, but half the stuff on the page wouldn't load so who knows how to actuall process an order or get the code).

In the end I think I'll just stick with my amazon.com pre-order. They send out codes on the 21st anyway, and I'm not even sure I want to spoil it playing a beta. I ended up getting bored of the Port Valdez map in BFBC2 because I had alredy played it so much during the beta..

too much trouble for 4 extra days/ earlier

The Gamestop here won't have the beta keys in until tomorrow. I chose to pre-order online, but with in-store pick up ... so I have to wait until tomorrow - No big deal

Hope that is the case! That is what I as seeing online and MedalofHonor.com is currently overloaded it appears! I should be able to confirm once Medalofhonor.com gets back online if it every does! Still fail!

so is anyone in the beta/anyone play yet? I'm thinking about pre-ordering now but their site's down so I dont wanna let that money go without being able to get into the game.

PreparationH123

Wait for sure. This whole thing is a disaster. Dice was claiming to be adding more servers... as of 4 hours ago. While good at game development evidently that are lacking in infrastructure. Someone needs to get them up to speed on VMWare and Ghosting. I mean seriously, what could possibly take so long? Are they having AT&T put more T1's in??? Good gosh its unreal.

Problem, servers are overload.

Solution, offsite the traffic, use a portal. Add more servers. Even building these it takes 15 minutes max to Ghost a real machine and they can create a virtual one from scratch in half that time. Maybe they are all just at E3??

so if i have BC can i get in, oh and im VIPxfactor19990

You still have to preorder.

Here is update, finally go through their website. Got my PSN code... go to enter the could per the instructions on PSN through account management... FAIL lol.

Yeah. This BS has made me lose interest in MOH completely. I'd much rather them fix the friggin' lag issues on BC2's online then expect this kind of commitment from us. They stop mickey mousing their online, I'll start committing. Until then, they can kiss my ass. That goes for Onslaught and the Vietnam expansion as well.

Indeed. I've beta tested several MMO's, and the fact that EA are treating this like a privelege is hilarious. While less inolved than an MMO, beta testers of a shooter will have to deal with a variety of problems. I really doubt they're going to go in there and have a smooth experience. Sure, some parts will be fun, but they're basically just testing the server load, maybe reporting on possible overpowered/underpowered weapons, map abnormalities, etc. But they treat it as a special, exclusive privelege. I'm damn near considering switching to COD.

Ironically enough you gotta preorder (too) to have access to the beta that will make you decide whether to get the game or not. --'

i guess i wasn't listening lol, i thought if you have bfbc2 vip or pre-ordered moh, you'll get access to beta earlier on 17th, but if not, you'll get access on the 21st regardless if your vip or pre-ordered.

Wow it gets better. After a mass of users are unable to authenticate with their legit PSN codes for who knows what reasons, they get this PSN Error 80023156. Thats a 24 hour ban! LMFAO!

I'm looking forward to playing it when it becomes available on the Playstation store

game is good but this beta is terrible. in one hour my ps3 froze 4 times from it.

Got my code today. I'll probably check it out somewhere over the weekend.

so far all it is is a run and gun bad company 2.

Why are people making a big deal about this? All you have to do to get access is preorder. This is a "beta" people, not a demo. Betas are for die hard fans that want to help find issues in the software. If you want something to help you to determine if you want to buy the game, wait for the demo.

BFBC2 VIPs get early access to the beta and believe me that was not a good thing since it is really buggy right now. By the time it opens to everyone else, it will probably go much smoother.

yea I am about to give up for now, the freezing is so bad you cant finish a full game, I've reset my ps3 over 6 times now. Fun though while it lasts :P

Honk if you think the term "Beta" should be changed to "Gamer-Funded Interest-Free Loan".

:lol:

I love how they're trying to get all of the knee-jerk MP addicts out there to hand over a substantial amount of the final game cost months and months in advance by preying on their "need" to be at the top of a leaderboard or other meaningless tripe like "exclusive" weapons. Brilliant.

No... I think I'll wait if I even buy into it at all. The game isn't going to be any better at the end of the day.

Servermaintenance right now. Hopefully it will fix some bugs up.

[QUOTE="Taijiquan"] It is SUPER frustrating. I work with complex networks daily. There is NO excuse for this. What is worse is advertising this the way they do. We have to go through all this crap and I mean this is the most process driven beta I have ever seen to get involved with and they have the nerve to even mention VIP is insulting. Not to mention realistically we are all working for them for FREE testing it!! hxczuner

Ah, my mistake then. Even so, it's a little screwy. I just want a company to be like "We are very proud of this product, we want y'all to get in on this. No BS, no pre-ordering, no having to sign up for yet another registered dealie, just come and play this awesome game." That is a company I'll throw money at.
