Hey All,

I purchased the MOH Deluxe (or whatever it was) edition some time ago on Steam and IIRC it stated purchasers will be recieving early beta status. However, now that BF3 will not be on Steam, how will this work? Am I no longer getting early Beta access?

Thanks!

Yep, you should get access soon. Info from the FAQ section of here:

http://www.battlefield.com/battlefield3/1/beta

I BOUGHT MEDAL OF HONOR ON STEAM. HOW DO I GET EARLY ACCESS?
IF YOU PURCHASED MEDAL OF HONOR THROUGH STEAM PRIOR TO JULY 26TH, 2011 CUT-OFF, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR EARLY ACCESS TO THE BATTLEFIELD 3 OPEN BETA.
TO VIEW YOUR KEY, GO TO MEDAL OF HONOR IN YOUR STEAM LIBRARY, AND CLICK THE "CD KEY" LINK. FIND THE "BATTLEFIELD 3 OPEN BETA EARLY ACCESS" KEY.
BATTLEFIELD 3 IS DELIVERED THROUGH ELECTRONIC ARTS' ORIGIN CLIENT. (DIRECT DOWNLOAD, 47MB: www.ORIGIN.COM/DOWNLOAD )
ONCE YOU HAVE ORIGIN INSTALLED, RUN IT AND LOG IN WITH YOUR ORIGIN ID. (THIS WILL BE THE SAME AS YOUR EA ACCOUNT ID USED IN METAL OF HONOR.). IN THE ORIGIN CLIENT, CLICK THE GEAR ICON IN THE TOP MENU BAR, AND THEN SELECT "REDEEM PRODUCT CODE".

I just checked in my Steam menu and I do not have a "CD KEY" link. Do I have to have MOH installed before I am able to view the CD Key? Or, is the CD Key link not visible yet since the Beta has not been released?

Thanks for the help!

*EDIT* Nevermind, found a link in the MOH forums with a user chat to an EA customer support person explaining things.

Can you expand on the 'explaining things'?

Are we likely to see the key via our MOH in our steam library when the beta goes live?

Sorry, all.

The CD Key shows up once you install the SP portion of MOH (I have the standard edition of MOH, btw. Thought I hads the Deluxe or Tier 1 version). Anyways, the Beta key showed up early in my CD KEY list in my MOH Steam menu (right-click the game title in the Steam Games menu).
