Worry not, dear friend.

Beta's are supposed to be glitchy.  If they weren't, they wouldn't have a purpose.

Linkin Park single debuting in MOH

EA has secured the worldwide debut of Linkin Park's new single "The Catalyst" for a Medal of Honor video.

The vid will be aired on 1st August - one day before its release on iTunes, radio, et al. - and contains a mixture of game and band footage. Linkin Park's Joe Hahn directed.

"The Catalyst" song will appear on the Medal of Honor soundtrack when the game is released on 15th October.

"I've personally known the band since 1999, and they have always been an intensely creative group who understand the power of videogames and have wanted to explore and expand the medium's possibilities," commented EA's music man Steve Schnur.

Linkin Park's Joe Hahn talked about a "new bond" between "EA, our fans and the band's overall vision for the new digital frontier".

Medal of Honor, like Call of Duty, has had enough of Nazis, and has traded World War II for the political hotbed of Afghanistan.

There's A Battlefield 3 Beta Invite In Your Medal Of Honor Limited Edition



EA sweetens the deal for players picking up the limited edition of the modern-day Medal of Honor reboot on October 12, with a beta invite for DICE's highly anticipated Battlefield 3 in every package.

We've heard nary a peep regarding Battlefield 3 since EA COO John Pleasants mentioned it back in June of 2009. All we've known since then is that the game is in development.

Now we know a sure-fire way to get into the beta.

Along with some extra weapons and a remastered version of Medal of Honor: Frontline (exclusive to the PlayStation 3 version), picking up the $59.99 limited edition of Medal of Honor ensures players a spot in the Battlefield 3 beta test, which should happen within twelve months of Medal of Honor's release, according to the EA beta website.

Medal of Honor goes on sale on October 12 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. I get the feeling sales numbers will be much higher now that this news has hit.

DICE defends playable Taliban in MOH

DICE, the developer behind the multiplayer portion of upcoming Afghanistan shooter Medal of Honor, has defended the decision to allow gamers to play as Taliban soldiers, saying: "It's a game."

Dan Whitehead picked up on the playable Taliban in Eurogamer's recent hands-on preview.

"The hardcore online FPS crowd is not known for its tact, and I can't help but wonder just what sort of epithets will be flying across PSN and Xbox Live when armchair Andy McNabs are shooting at players openly identified as Taliban.

"Watching virtual Coalition troops gunned down by insurgents in the ruins of Kabul, I felt more than a little weird, especially since a friend lost his brother in Afghanistan only a few weeks ago.

"This is a real war that is happening right now, real blood is being shed, and simulating that for fragfest fun while being rewarded for kill streaks... Well, there's just something a bit icky about that. In single-player, there can be a story that adds context and meaning to the carnage. In multiplayer, it's all just for fun. At least the World War II games have the distance of history, and the fact that their conflict has been absorbed into popular entertainment for over 60 years."

"I think it is a fair point," said producer Patrick Liu when asked whether statements saying that gamers will feel uneasy playing as Taliban soldiers are fair, in the latest issue of PSM3 magazine.

"We do stir up some feelings, although it's not about the war, it's about the soldiers.

"We can't get away from what the setting is and who the factions are, but in the end, it's a game, so we're not pushing or provoking too hard."

Medal of Honor will be released on 15th October for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

We wonder what Linkin Park think?

wow, i'm unsure on this. I think it's too early, they should wait the obligatory 22.3 years .... like Aides jokes

Medal of Honor 'more plausible' that MW2
Realism a priority in MoH reboot

Medal of Honor's exec producer Greg Goodrich says the key differentiator between his game and Modern Warfare is greater realism and plausibility.

Speaking to GTTV, Goodrich said: "Modern Warfare - we're going to get those comparisons and I welcome them. I'm a consumer of those products. They're very good at what they do. Our Medal of Honor, I think it's just a little bit of a different tone. Our intent is a bit different."

Pressed further, he added: "It's more... it's authentic, it's plausible, it's realistic. Meaning that there's a difference between authenticity and realism. So you can be authentic, you have authentic weapons, sounds, locations and tactics, and all the things that you do to achieve authenticity, but sometimes realism goes out the door when you have three or four weapons strapped on your back and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. So we try to remain authentic."
