Depending on how succesful Bad Company 2 is(Which, in my opinion, deserves to sell more than Modern Warfare 2 due to the fact that the developers haven't been making fun of the PC community) this game will be overshadowed. Bad Company 2 will probably be the big boy when it comes to multiplayer and if this new Medal of Honor doesn't add something interesting to the multiplayer aspect it will probably, has I said before, be overshadowed by BC2.
Then again, there's the Single Player aspect to think of. Still, most people tend to buy FPS's for the multiplayer aspect.
Why does everyone seem to forget about this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_2], arguably one of the greatest games ever, with one of the most refined squad play experiences, when they discuss war games set in the modern era?
CoD4 wasn't the first, you know.

Oh, I remember that game now. They also made a Modern-era game to go with the film Black Hawk Down. I recall it being really rather hard.Furburt said:
This is not a game concept, this is a company's history. Slightly different. That's like saying Gearbox copied Take Two because they went the way of the dodo.Furburt said:
Activision and Infinity Ward were also hardly the first to start in WWII and see potential in modern conflict [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Battlefield_games] (and the battlefield series did it two years earlier).
MOHAA was the Modern Warfare of it's time... so much so the Call of Duty franchise started by bloodily ripping it off, making your entire point that much more nonsensical.Furburt said:
So the company that practically defined the genre as we know it today (along Wolfenstein) has no hopes of making something original, but the company that started off by cloning them is totally cool?
Because it would come down to:Furburt said:
A) Sit in trenches for days. Die from mustard gas, bombings, malnutrition, etc...
B) Sit in trenches for days. Charge across barren, battle torn fields. Die in under 5 minutes.
c) Sit in trenches for days. Charge across barren, battle torn fields. Kill the enemy in under 5 minutes. Spend 20 minutes looting their shit. Sit in your new trenches for a few more days.
Ah yes, I can feel the excitement now...
(Note: That could actually work as an RTS... Not as an FPS.)
Bit of a shame, quite a predictable move. I would've liked it if they would've gone to Vietnam, but maybe a "Hurray go America!" series like Medal of Honor (name says it all) doesn't really fit with the Vietnam war.
Gotta say by the way, the guy on the picture has one helluva rugged beard.

I never cared about the MoH series, and I doubt this is going to change my mind.
It's obvious they're just ripping off of CoD.
EDIT: Either you play as a different character ("the enemy's" side, for instance) or I will continue to not care.
