EA and Danger Close are releasing a multiplayer beta for Medal of Honor Warfighter, exclusive to the Xbox 360. The beta features a new HotSpot mode, which has players attacking and defending randomly selected locations on the map.

The beta includes the Sarajevo Stadium map, and pits players against one another in teams of two.

Players who download and play the demo beta in early October also get a special bonus when the game launches on October 23: 60 minutes of double XP in the full game. If that's not enough, EA says it will release a special Linkin Park music video for their song "Castle of Glass" if 3 million people download the game. If that benchmark isn't hit, the publisher will release the video five days later.

While you wait for the beta to go up in a few weeks, take a look at our hands-on preview of the game's multiplayer.

"An hour of double XP and a Linkin Park music video? If that doesn't get people playing the beta, nothing will!" -- Hopelessly misguided PR agent

I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy, but... Why isn't it on Pc and Ps3 also? The games are coming out on those systems, so why not put a beta on those systems? I don't see their logic.

linkin park.......thats sad. no more transformers so they must make songs/videos for other things that are consistently better than them.
by Chris White Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:15 PM

And why couldn't this come to ps3 and PC?
by The Last Saiya-jin Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:15 PM

I would try the beta, even without the Linkin Park video releasing. Why only on the Xbox360 though? I'm sure some people on the other platforms would like a chance at playing the beta as well.

LINKIN PARK IS THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Linkin Park? oh woof.
by M3o5nster Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:22 PM

If they get a special bonus, they better release the beta for PS3 as well... This system exclusive ish is getting old. I'm looking forward to the game, but this ish needs to stop.

Nice, man!
by Andrew Marcos Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:22 PM

No PC or PS3 beta? Talk about lame, I thought EA had some big exclusive agreement with Sony for their games, like a big "eff u" to Call of Duty doing all the Xbox stuff?
by GSWarriorsFan Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:24 PM

Linkin Park: Irrelevant since 2003.
by Just_Rob Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:24 PM

I would have preferred Limp Bizkit, but Linkin Park is ok...
by VampireRobot Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:27 PM

meh. I'm more interested in the campaign. Only mp I play is CoD.
by Randall Fragg Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:30 PM

The game launches in a month. How is this a beta? Oh well I'll play it anyway. I'm really good at betas. Some might say I'm a master beta player.

LOL. *** the PC & PS3 elitists....
by Doctor Whovian Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:36 PM

After the exceptionally well done campaign of the 2010 reboot, I've really been looking forward to this sequel. I'll definitely be downloading the beta when it releases.
by siegeoflight Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:37 PM

A free beta... Now I have a reason to try this game. I always pass on MoH because it never looks like much fun. This is your chance to win a customer MoH. You better do it right!

They should have had Nonpoint be the music release rather than LP. LP sucks after album 2. Not that that album was even that good. Nonpoint FTW!
by Zero Friday, September 21, 2012 at 02:59 PM

I have never wanted anything more than this video. Not women, not wealth, not a sequel to any franchise I ever loved. Linkin Park! Why didn't I realize that was all I was ever missing in a game!?

Chyeah man, it's on the radio. It must be amazeballs or some other made up word added to the dictionary.

just saw something about this on lokisplanet... yet another reason why xboxlive is way better than psn. we gets our stuff before you's do's. :-)
