So, Preorder Medal of Honor, Get Access to Battlefield 3 Beta
By Joe Haygood on July 30, 2010 – 6:35 pm | View Comments

So, if there have not been enough incentives to pre-order the new Medal of Honor Limited Edition coming out this fall, with its weapons packs and on PS3 a whole extra game, there is now a new bonus being announced by Electronic Arts.  It seems that those that purchase will also score themselves an invite to the Battlefield 3 beta coming out next year.

Wait a sec, Battlefield 3?  I mean, I figured that a new, full feature Battlefield game would be coming, but is this the first true mention of the title?  I mean, I can’t say that I have heard anything about a Battlefield 3 game up until this point, but maybe it was an announcement that I missed.  Anyway, if you want early access to the beta, it looks like the Limited Edition of Medal of Honor is your ticket to access.
