Last month, EA announced that they would be incentivizing gamers to play more of their titles by offering in-game content and other bonuses through their Gun Club, but this week they just want to get more buyers pre-ordering "Medal of Honor," so they've rolled out a "Medal of Honor" Limited Edition package with exclusive access to the MP7 and launch-day access to the TOZ-194 and 870MC2 shotguns, which otherwise need to be unlocked by leveling up.
"Access to a weapon like the MP7 will allow players to experience a tool developed with the Special Operations Community in mind," 'Medal of Honor' executive producer Greg Goodrich said in a press release. "With its light weight, high rate of fire and its ability to penetrate body armor, the MP7 handles like a pistol yet allows targets to be engaged like a rifle."
Priced at $59.99, it looks like the Limited Edition will come priced the same as its non-limited counterpart. If that's the case, this move seems to be aimed primarily at getting your orders in before the game ships on October 12.
Personally, I'm a much bigger fan of companies using extra content incentives in this way, rather than leveraging in-game content for extra dollars. If you're interested, there's a list of retailers accepting pre-orders over at MedalofHonor.com.
Does the "Medal of Honor" Limited Edition look like it's worth pre-ordering to you? What are your expectations for the game right now? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
