The Medal of Honor beta has been going since June -- after those three months of playtesting and feedback from gamers, multiplayer developer DICE has decided on the changes to be implemented into the final game.
As you'd expect, there's a long list of tweaks and improvements in multiple areas like performance and graphics, and then a load of balance changes pertaining to the weapons.
The big items are better hit detection and major text, menu and HUD overhauls (hopefully ones specifically for the PC version -- a complaint we voiced in our preview); the smaller changes then, coupled with the bigger ones, should add up to a significantly more polished experience.
Below is the changelog with the weapon notes excluded for length -- for those, head to the source.
