Analyst Predicts Warfighter Disaster

[AlwaysPractical]

I had already forgotten this game even existed... :3

So have I...

So have most people, I think...

It's one of those "oh yeah, that's being made" titles, everybody remembers it's being made when told so, but nobody remembers otherwise

 

[joeman098]

all these people wishing for the game to bomb are really fucked up.... I mean ok if you dont like it but jesus these are peoples jobs and lives that are on the line here have a little bit more humility. OK EA makes some shitty moves yea I get it but its not the people making the games fault.

I actually remember seeing when this was shown for the first time at some gameshow. My first thought was "Oh look, more Battlefield 3 DLC. Oh, wait. This is a different game?"

Two things about the vid:

1. Would it kill Linkin Park to write music that has any amount of complexity?

2. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S GOOD AND HOLY, PLEASE TELL ME THEY DIDN'T SPLICE GAME FOOTAGE IN THERE.

As for the game, uh... I didn't know there WAS another Medal of Honor coming out...

I guess no noticeable advertising campaign is a step up from "Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2".

Maybe this will be the thing that finally kills EA, or at least takes away most of it's power. We can only hope.

MOH isnt such a big franchise that it could impact EA evne if it collapsed.
In other news: Warfighter took the best of COD, BF, combined them together and is going to be a flop because humans are stupid.

To be fair, Black Ops 2 this time is doing a lot more changes and more innovations then MW3 ever did.

to be fair, COD hasnt innovated since COD4

Black Ops II has branching choices in the single-player campaign. A year ago, we would have thought that to be absurd.

I know people talk shit about the series, but give them just a bit of credit. They know how to keep the plot and storylines fresh, even if the gameplay tends to be the same most of the time.

And yet we already had branching choices in Singleplayer back in 1997. Sure for COD that is a new thing, for gaming - not even close. I can give them cradit for streamlining same machanism of fighting so well that many idiots cling to it and throw money at them every year.

That is true (and I know it was present in some games from the 90's), but it was never really a "thing" until the late 00's. Seeing it go SO:TL-style is still a bit weird to me, considering how much they wanted to keep the formula the same.

Medal of Honor as a franchise has never really drawn me in at any point really... BUT now that Linkin Park is trying to help promote this game, I still have like no interest at all in another brown shooter.

Just makes me wonder if Eminem was too busy doing something important than helping rap over some of their game-play or something. Shame really, I liked it when Eminem was brought in for the Call of Duty adverts, was my favorite part of those games. X3

Their tremendous talent is better served elsewhere. EA has a reputation for sacking and shifting around their employees when a project is done anyway.

Honestly, the damage being done by these "me-too" wannabe blockbuster military shooters is pretty immense. It's hurting the industry. Seriously, how many millions did they spend on this, when EA could have easily attempted something like... oh I don't know.. "Best Space-Sim of All-Time"??

Nop. When you're the largest, most prolific video game company on the planet.. you just throw everything away and make.. frankly embarrassing "me too shooters", right? It's also getting reeeeaallllyy creepy considering Real people are being killed in these real world locations. Soldiers, men, women and children. At least make up your own hokey scenario, Jesus.
