As you know, while parts of DICE are working on Battlefield: Bad Company 2 we have another team working on the Medal of Honor multiplayer. Bad Company 2 players are going to get early access to the M24 in Medal of Honor when it releases this holiday season.

The M24 access will be automatically awarded when Medal of Honor releases to all players who have bought Battlefield: Bad Company 2 new and claimed their VIP code (in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 box only) or played Battlefield: Bad Company 2 online (PC). The same EA account must be used in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor to make use of the M24.
