Linkin Park to Headline Medal of Honor Soundtrack
About 5 minutes before I read this, I had an interest in Medal of Honor.
Linkin Park are set to headline the soundtrack for the game Medal of Honor, EA announced today. The Band’s new single, “The Catalyst,” will be featured in gameplay trailer directed by Joe Hahn. That trailer will release on August 1, but there’s a teaser below.
“Medal of Honor marks the beginning of an innovative new relationship between EA and Linkin Park,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive, Music and Music Marketing, EA. “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.
In other words, Linkin Park and EA have decided that they’ll both make money off of each others’ markets, so they are collaborating. If that teaser is anything to go by, it’ll be the worst game trailer ever made. There might be some entertainment value in that- but obviously you’ll need to endue a few minutes of ear bleeding for that. If the song is in the game itself that’s a sure-fire way to alienate fans of good music.
