Danger Close and EA have today released the long awaited news many eager shooter fans have been looking forward to, beta details for the upcoming Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The announcement this morning sees the reveal of an early October release for the beta, however in an odd turn the beta has been classed as only available for Xbox 360.

The Medal of Honor Warfighter 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. The Medal of Honor Warfighter multiplayer beta will be available for a limited time in early October exclusively for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.

The news will definitely come as a slight shock to many other platform players, though hopefully we will see a beta for PC and PS3 later on before release.

For those who are still interested in the band Linkin Park, a new song titled "Castle of Glass" will be released alongside the beta, with the chance to unlock it early if more than 3 million downloads occur, otherwise it will unlock five days after the beta releases. You can check out the latest behind the scenes trailer for the song below, which will feature some in-game footage of Medal of Honor: Warfighter in the song's video.
