Hey everyone! We released a server update last night across all platforms to address a few things; this update should now be rolled out across all servers.

• Reduced Login times on Xbox 360
• Eliminated sporadic crash event on PC when using Unlocks in Front End
• Resolved minor issues unlock progress & player stat discrepancies
• Incorporated Custom Playlists into Quickmatch

Good hunting!

Attention all PC players!

You can quick match into custom playlist servers if you use the ‘Server Browser’ menu under the ‘Multiplayer’ tab. You may set up filters, including custom playlists, maps, game modes, and player counts. After your filters have been set, hit the ‘Quick Match’ button and you can successfully join custom servers.

Update 10/23 – The Xbox 360 Day 1 Patch is live!

Danger Close Games is working up to the launch of Medal of Honor Warfighter (and beyond!) to ensure that your experience when the game ships is outstanding. After buying MOH Warfighter, you will be able to download a Day 1 patch that incorporates Danger Close Games’ enhancements and improvements to the Multiplayer experience that came directly from real-time feedback we received during the beta. Thanks again to everyone in the Medal of Honor community who participated!

Because we wanted to be fair to our fans and replicate the day 1 consumer experience, members of the gaming press will also receive their review copies when the patch is ready on October 23rd.

Medal of Honor Warfighter is the most ambitious game in development in the Medal of Honor series – creating the biggest and best game in the storied franchise means the team is working hard to integrate as much feedback as possible into the game as it goes live.

The Day 1 patches for PC and PS3 are already staged and the Xbox 360 version is on its way!

Thanks again for your continuous support and we’ll see you online very, very soon!

We Hunt Terror.
