Medal of Honor Sales Are Not Amazing

I hope other IPs don't suffer a knock on effect from this...

Oh well there's always next time EA.

On the contrary. I hope this is the wake up call to the industry that these generic war-shooters aren't a Golden Goose.

Somehow though, I doubt this will event put a dent in the monolith that is the FPS genre.

Seems like everyone who wanted Modern Warfare 2 already bought it already... I bet Bobby Kotick and his friends from Infinity Ward are laughing right now.

Kotick's got friends where now? It was pretty much a foregone conclusion considering it's selling point was how *real it would be. Well there's that and the fact it did nothing to distinguish itself as well as coming out close to CoD7 and Fallout:New Vegas.

Too many people trying to do the same thing. Everyone is bored with the middle east.

Afghanistan is technically not Middle East.
And to my knowledge there hasn't been a game set there until now.

Hey EA why not make up a war?

Like ArmA and ArmA 2?

Why not make a game based during the Cold War but a different timeline where Russia and the US actually fight?

Like Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis, or even Black Ops to some extent?

Or what about the future with a war between the US and China?

Like Battlefield 2? Or Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising?

maybe WWII ended differently

Like Turning Point: Fall of Liberty?

Just give us something new and exciting.

Everything has been done already.

Im sorry let me rephrase....How about someone make a GOOD game with those things. All those games you mentioned are lousy. There are no tiple A titles with those themes. And yes Afghanistan is roped into the middle east label

I'm sorry, did you just call BF2 "not triple A" and "lousy"?

OT: I remember a time when we learned Borderlands sold just one million after a month, and we all rejoiced! Calling it a great success, congrats to a new IP etc. Then MOH comes out a year later and in 5 days sells 1.5 million and we're scoffing? People, there's something wrong here. The game did quite fine.

EDIT: the article was actually "Borderlands sells 3 million worldwide" and it was about a month after its release, MOH may beat that.

As Mr. Butts says, MoH tries to do everything that Modern Warfare 2 did but it just falls short.

It boggles my mind how this is possible without MoH being flat-out broken.
