PC users are set to be the lucky recipients of a Medal of Honor patch, developer Danger Close has announced.

The studio made the announcement on its blog, stating, "We have been working on the feedback from the forums that you posted during the PC beta. We are listening to your major concerns and are pleased to show you the change/fix list."

The list, which you can see in full below, includes a number of weapon and control tweaks, as well as various bug fixes.

No announcement has yet been made regarding updates for the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions of the game.

However, publisher EA did recently reveal that free multiplayer DLC was incoming, off the back of impressive sales of the shooter. The franchise reboot apparently shifted 1.5 million copies in its first week on shelves.

Danger Close's patch hasn't been dated yet, but the multiplayer DLC goes live on 2nd November.
