I'm sorry, was one of EA's punchlines about the realism of Warfighter being too high? Is this the same game that I played a few months ago where you will shoot a preset enemy in the foot, watch him fall from his high ledge, die and replay the level, shoot the same guy in the head, and watch him fall from the same high ledge with the same exact animation? That's not called realism, or a shooter at all for that matter. EA made a point and click adventure.

i'm really curious to see what the corporate apologists have to say about this, they usually come ramping into these threads right about now, not offering much in their own opinion or anything, but just striking down everything as "sheeple" comments for not liking something EA did.
Back in 2007, Call of Duty 4 started the wave of modern military shooters that saved us from Yet Another World War 2 Game.
I wonder what the next thing will be that saves us from modern military shooters?
My guess is open-world shooters, and a few years from now we'll consider Far Cry 3 as the game that made the trend change.

If killing Medal of Honor means I get to play Battlefield: Bad Company 3, then I am all for this. I just want to see Bad Company fighting in the sprawling rice paddies of Asia, before clearing out a skyscraper in some incredibly beautiful Asian city, after which they have an intense helicopter combat section that takes them all the way to Moscow, where they end the Russian threat once and for all. Is that too much to ask?
I have always loved, geeked over Medal of Honor as a series. I can honestly say that I am a fangirl of the franchise beyond any other game franchise that I have played. It was not because it was good or great looking. It was because I had fun.
The music was beautiful, the main theme still makes me well up with pride in the original games.
The gameplay was simple yet captivating, even if I was only a child when playing Frontline and Allied Assault.
Rising Sun exposed me to a whole new level of Split Screen shenanigans. My friends and I rallied for hours just playing eachother.
While my love for the originals is high, I also enjoyed MoH2010. Even if it was a different take on the series, it was nice to see a fresh face in the franchise (albeit a dirty-brown face that is seen in almost every other game.)
I still had fun. The mission of being ambushed on the side of the mountain, the feeling of hopelessness; I was truely immersed in that scene. Those helicopters saving me really did make me thank every form of deity I could think of.
Moh2012 did not "wow" me, but everyone has that one family member that is a little strange. Sure it was not the greatest, it was not the most well polished, but it branded the title of Medal of Honor, and with open arms I added it to the collection on my shelf.
It pains me to have to say goodbye, but the memories that came from their experiences will resonate in me forever.

This actually makes me sad, given the hours I spent playing the original, Allied Assault (and it's expansions) and even Pacific Assault. EA could at the very least give us the courtesy of admitting they fucked up a perfectly good franchise.
just because people might entertain a veiw that goes against the popular thing right now (for example saying they will still buy Dead space 3) does not make them "corproate apologists"gmaverick019 said:
of coarse theres no defending this show of EA logic
oh i have no problem with someone buying a game they think/will thoroughly enjoy, by all means, enjoy (I did enjoy and agreee with quite a few of your points on your AAA game thread, just failed to post in it), i just find it hilarious to read comments of the "white knights" that feel the need to aggressively attack anyone who isn't a corporate apologist.Vault101 said:
which, as you pointed out, defending this EA logic is ...hard pressed to say the least, which is why i'm curious to see what they would say in turn to many of the comments on this thread.
Wow EA..."It's not *our* fault Medal of Honor failed, it's *your* fault!"
No one had any faith in this EA! Surely you must have heard the laughter even from your ivory tower when you told us it was going to be called 'Warfighter'. Surely you must us heard us collectively sigh in frustration when you included the bin Laden compound map but -inexplicably- DID NOT include the bin Laden mission. Surely you must have read the lukewarm reviews of MoH 2010. DO NOT sit there and tell us that you were blind-sided by this reaction and DO NOT act like you weren't FULLY AWARE that you crapped out an uninspired, useless pile of garbage.
You can ax Pandemic, EA, you can ax this property, but you can't ax your consumers. Grow. Up.

Are EA ever going to pull themselves out of this fantasy land? Honestly for the life of me, I cannot understand how you can have a company controlled by people who have so little clue about the actual industry and their consumers.
Even worse, they can't just be stupid in silence like Activision. They have to actively come out of their little bubble and make statements about things that they haven't a single clue about. It's almost like they're trying to copy the Republican party.
It wouldn't be so bad if they were just damaging their own stock price either. But they aren't. They are actively killing off pieces of gaming history with their incompetence. Franchises that were actually icons once, that have been run into the ground. (See also Command and Conquer)
The worst part is they will now sit on this IP for eternity, never letting someone else even have a crack at restoring the series to its former glory.
Never have I wanted to see a company implode so badly.
That right there is the reason EA is on the way down. If you have CEO's and operating officers and team leads that don't even sample their own stock, what possible hope could you have to grow and improve as a company? They have a work culture akin to that of a bank not a game publisher/developer.

I hate any and all developers/publishers/whoever (EA is especially the biggest offender) who cry about their works having lower scores than they "deserved".
When the fuck are people gonna wake up and stop accepting that not a single work in any industry deserves 10/10 on Metacritic? Goddamn dirty corrupt publishers bribing the critics to give perfect scores then crying foul when the critics refuse to obey their fascist schemes.
This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.rhizhim said:
goodbye, ol chap.
you were great but lost the fight against mediocrity and dullness at the end.
Medal Of Honor has been put to rest. My Nostalgia has been avenged.
