They had to know they were committing studio suicide with Warfighter, besides weren't there warnings that when Warfighter failed that Danger Close would be closed?

In honesty, whilst I've defended EA on certain issues and certain games, I didn't mean my comment as well-intentioned towards them. I think their habit of creating brands out of developers names is a little bit scummy and whilst my first thought that Danger Close was still exactly the same studio and EA were trying to dodge the bad reputation that they'd built up by associating them with people who make much better shooters, isn't completely correct because it seems like they've done some slashing and burning at least, it's still true that DICE LA's senior management contains a lot of people who ran the studio that had a reputation for making poor games. So I do think there's an element of PR trickery here.shrekfan246 said:
Whatever the case, most of DICE LA were recruited in LA, so the naming has caused everyone to say 'at least DICE knows how to make good multiplayer' etc and none of that is true, because this is a new studio with completely different staff than the DICE people are making that assumption off.
If only the title had been written in pigeon English, indeed. EA dangerous close closure. Piss on customers many.GodzillaGuy92 said:
Well, a New Orleans one involves celebration, but it usually involves celebrating the life of the deceased, not the death... but we can always have a twist!FalloutJack said:
That was so funny! Realistic, too!Adam Jensen said:
OT: Very sad, but not as destructive considering all the reshuffling of the deck chairs on the E.A.C. Titanic.
BLOOD FOR THE EXECUTIVES!!!
To be honest though I believe these guys were capable of MUCH MUCH more, whatever you say about MOH it was a well programmed game with few bugs. Sure it was essentially a rail shooter but that has to do with EA mandate. "Create a COD clone that makes us money" not much they could do about that.

New Orleans i think, with a New HongKong Wake that EA itself will come to with any luck.FalloutJack said:

Well they didn't make anything good. Dunno if that's their fault or EA's but whatever, shit happens.
You forgot the cardinal rule of game development. If it's bad, it's the fault of the publisher. If it is good, it is thanks to the developer.Dark Knifer said:

EA CAN SUCK A DICK FUCKING SCUMBAGS KILLING INNOCENT DEVELOPERS AND MAKING THEM MAKE SHITTY GAMES!1!!!!!
Did I do good?
Not like it produced anything of worth, but the people will still be around in other places. Let's hope it was EA forcing them to make a shitty generic game and not the devs having no concept of what a good game is.
good that they won't make any more medel of honor games though.
What goodwill? As Danger Close they made two very bad Medal of Honor Games. As EA LA they made pretty damn good ones.MinionJoe said:
C&C Generals: Zero Hour.
LotR Battle for Middle Earth.
LotR Battle for Middle Earth 2 and it's xpack
C&C 3: Tiberium wars and it's xpack
And a few not bad Medal of Honor titles. There was jack all good will in the name Danger Close.
Kinda wasn't surprised though.
The 2010 reboot was like a bastard child of Battlefield Bad Company & COD. Warfighter was just pure basura with pretty graphics.
So these guys over at DICE may do something interesting if given some leeway, though knowing EA, I can't see that actually happening.

I knew that EA had shut down "the studio" that made Warfighter less than a month after the games release, I just didn't know its exact name, I honestly didn't care because the games were such poor sellers.
Aside from Mass Effect 3, that game had one of the highest return-on-day-one rates I had seen all last year.
