Putting together what seems to me as a derivative, uninspired, cookie-cutter military shooter with Linkin Park sounds like a match made in heaven. Only makes sense that the band will be headlining the soundtrack for Medal of Honor.
To be fair, I haven't listened to anything the band produced save whatever tripe got pushed through to commercial radio. I mean, it all could have been crap but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt ever so briefly. The song used in this Medal of Honor teaser, "The Catalyst," isn't wretched. I'm not going to run out and buy Linkin Park's next album (A Thousand Suns, releasing September 14) on its basis but I've certainly heard worse from them.
This is actually a teaser for a full-length music video combining live-action elements with gameplay footage from Medal of Honor. The final cut is being directed by Linkin Park's very own Joe Hahn and will be released on August 1st.

Oh ya MOH looks good to.
that isn't a good thing
"all their albums are fucking platinum"
lots of people like bad music. breaking news
"Don't like LP, get off the fuckin comments"
conrad zimmerman clearly doesn't like them and he wrote the article you're commenting on why not bitch at him too???
But I for one am sick of every single anime/game/DAMN NEAR ANYTHING music video using their songs as the soundtrack. People act like Linkin Park is the sound track to fuckin' everything!
Also... to call Linkin Park amazing.... eh, that's a stretch.
I do recall liking Papercut ( i think that is what it is called).
i am a genius
brilliant*
Your beginning to piss me off because you act like the entire world likes what you like. Keep your opinions to yourself, pal. And to everyone else, the world doesn't use LP for everything. Omg they were in both transformers! And now this! 3 things! OMG the world is gonna explode!
no, i clearly acknowledged a lot of people like shitty music (linkin park)
"Keep your opinions to yourself, pal"
okay, i'll make sure not to post unless my opinion coincides with yours
good music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vyciQI5OqA
hhey man they GET IT okay they KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE to be out there in the shit and their parents dont FUCKIN UNDERSTAND THERE PAIN
Also, Mike Shinoda is a beast of a rapper.
Also also, Medal of Honor looks alright yeah whatever sure.
the rich hate the poor and geaorge bush talks funny
word up
Linkin Park fucking sucks, take that faux-angsty, emo shit and go DIAF.
hes a fuckin tortured soul man, u dont understand, no one understands........ except chester bennington.
herpderp
"But Don't come on here and dis them"
Blow off one more crunchy guitar riff in your mother's barren spunk-laced womb. The only reason people are disappointed when they hear that you slit your wrists in your bedroom while listening to Linkin Park is because you didn't finish the goddamn job.
But I guess that video games that glorify nationalism and false patriotism and desolate ineffectual unoriginal music DO go hand in hand.
NIUUUUURHGAHGHAHA FUCKING FUCK TRIED SO HARD FUCK FUCKING FUCK SO NUMB TO THE MILD DISCOMFORTS OF LIFE FUCK NIRUUGHANUGFHS
PASS.
*snickers*
To make the comments more interesting, pretend that everyone who is most adamant about hating Linkin Park is actually begging for ICP to replace them.
I enjoy delusions.
i don't wanna talk to an entitled white brat, y'all muthafuckas lyin' and gettin' me pissed
