The more they push this whole Linkin Park or realism aspect of the game the more I think it will be hot garbage.

The perfect band of choice for the demographic of teenage boys who play these games.

Man, this game's marketing has been so aggressively against everything I like that I'm starting to think I need to play it. Just to give myself some real challenge.

So, uh, what I'm saying is this is terrible, but so far everything has been so why is this a surprise?

But seriously, fuck this game. Your generic ass first person shooter isn't "showing respect to the troops." Get over yourself.

It's a good match, I feel, as both the game and the band are roller coasters:

I think we can now classify making a song for a video game as the "jump the shark" moment for bands. See: Incubus, Korn.

I still think that the first two albums are goddamn amazing in their own genre. Now they try to be all "grown up". They just should've gave up on Linkin Park and changed the name of the band or something.

Yep. FIrst two albums were awesome. Third album was ok but generic. Not what I wanted out of Linkin Park, but not bad in its own right. Definitely a warning sign though. Everything after that is garbage.

Was listening to an old Bombcast recently where they were talking about some obscure band who was being paid to promote Facebreaker in the form of stopping their concert to play the game with members of the audience. Shameless and dirty, as is this. Even moreso because Linkin Park's a much bigger band. As (I think) Jeff said on that episode "This is what happens when marketing people are allowed to make decisions." Way to make sure and drop EA's name in there, too.

What motivates artists (and I use that term loosely when it comes to Linkin Park) to burn credibility on stuff like this? Do they not have enough money already?

Yes, actually. Dubstep is totally the new nu-metal.

Fucking gay.

I know that is politicly incorrect to say now and it is not meant to be derogatory toward gays but really, that is the most apt way to describe this situation to me.

Watching this is like... I remember when Linkin Park used to be good, and I remember when Medal of Honor used to be good. Allied Assault is definitely one of my favorite games of all-time. Hundreds of hours poured into that online. So much goddamn fun.

Played the last Medal of Honor and it just wasn't Medal of Honor. Nothing about it even evoked a shadow of the feeling of playing the older ones. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't great. And the online really was just a weird hybrid of Battlefield and Call of Duty.

I don't think a grown man still rocking a chin beard has any right to make fun of Linkin Park.

Guess that Nickelback & Creed were also unavailable too for this. At least I know beforehand that I might have to mute the music in this if I ever play it as not a fan of LP.

I really want to hate on Linkin Park, but the angry 12 year old inside me has a soft spot for them. I can live free now. Feels good to get it off my chest.
