The Xbox 360 exclusive Beta for Medal of Honor Warfighter has been dated to kick off this Friday, 5 October.

The beta will feature a brand new multiplayer mode called HotSpot.  In the mode, players must attack and defend randomly selected locations on the Sarajevo Stadium map in Bosnia.

As an added bonus, downloading the Beta will reward players with 60 minutes of Double XP when the full game launches on 23 October.
