Electronic Arts and Danger Close have today announced that on the 5th October 2012, gamers will be able to represent their nation on the battlefield through the Medal of Honor Warfighter open beta coming exclusively to the XBox360.
The beta will feature a brand new multiplayer mode called Hotspot, where players attack and defend randomly-selected locations on the Sarajevo Stadium map in Bosnia. Inspired by real life operations, players team-up in pairs using the game’s unique co-op Fireteam system for a competitive advantage on the battlefield. Gamers can choose from among 12 Tier 1 units including the British SAS, German KSK, Russian Spetsnaz Alfa Group, Korean UDT and U.S. Navy SEAL as they represent their elite Special Forces online. But, it doesn’t end there. Gamers can also select from over 193 nations through the built-in metagame, Warfighter Nations, powered by Battlelog, to see who really is top dog.
Fans who join the battle can help unlock the new Linkin Park “CASTLE OF GLASS” music video. EA will release the video five days after the beta launches but gamers can unlock it earlier by downloading the beta and hitting the three million download mark.
The game is set for release on the PC, Playstation 3 and XBox360 entertainment consoles later this month.
