Linkin Park has teamed up with Medal of Honor. Yes, the video game. Linkin Park is leaping out of the 8-bit world to the latest technology. The first track, “The Catalyst”, off their upcoming album “A Thousand Suns” will be in the first person shooter. (You’ll recall that Linkin Park collaborated with fans for the track.) Joe Hahn directed the the video to premiere on August 1, 2010 (That’s the day before the single The Catalyst is released). Medal of Honor won’t be available until October 12, 2010.
