EA Australia sends word, re-confirming an October 14th 2010 release date and detailing the contents of the expected "limited edition" release of their upcoming Medal of Honor first person shooter.
The Limited Edition version of Medal of Honor will grant players exclusive access to the MP7, a unique weapon utilized by Tier 1 Operators in the field. Limited Edition owners will also benefit from day-one access to the TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns, while others must rank up to secure these weapon unlocks. Gamers can pre-order the Limited Edition now at www.medalofhonor.com at no additional cost.
EA have been doing a lot of this kind of thing lately to encourage pre-orders and using single-redeem DLC codes in the retail box to discourage re-sale. What does everyone think, is giving pre-order customers a couple of extra weapons a reasonable strategy?
Check out the
limited edition trailer for a look at these weapons in action.
Medal of Honor hits Australian shelves for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 14 2010.

I had to put in the special edition disc of alan wake to unlock the extras that i got with the collectors edition. What a waste of my time.

Also, on the note of Medal of Honor itself, I'm not going to be buying such a s***** piece of fps bulls***. Playing the "beta" at the moment, and it's far from ready. It's actually worse then the BFBC2 beta, and that's very strange seen as how it's the same company. Ah well, might pirate for SP if it's worth it.

They've been doing it for a little while, I hope this approach will see DRM fade away, I'm allowed to dream :)
The only danger I can see is if they include parts that should be part of the game as one time DLC making buying second hand copies of the game useless. Knowing EA's history this will likely be within the year.
Still I think the best way to combat piracy is Steam's approach of making it both cheap and easy to purchase the latest and greatest games.

Try using EA store... that place is a total nightmare. (I know you were referring to Steam, I'm just saying... EA store should not even exist)

I want a BF1942 remake (a proper one with all the vehicles and awesomely huge maps - damn i miss that game so much)

Also, MoH has destructible terrain to an extent - you can break certain elements of maps - boxes, crates, whatever. It doesn't have the Destruction 2.0 that makes BC2 special. That said, it couldn't afford to. When you have maps as small as MoH, they'd be totally destroyed in... what... 10 minutes of play?
@Original topic - It's a pretty lame 'Special Edition'/pre-order bonus, but when it's the same price as the 'normal' version, I guess it makes sense that... you pay nothing extra, you get nothing extra. The only real thing here is that EA is punishing those who don't preorder. Whatever, we already knew EA is one of the various corporate incarnations of The Beast.
