Three Million Copies or No Sequel for Medal of Honor

[Charli]

Ah damn, I guess I'll just have to go ahead and not buy it as planned.

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

So they're bribing us? With a sequel?

How about instead of all your arabic and russian terrorists, you set it against australia?
- Nope, the aussie merc thing has bee done

Canada?
- Nope, game would be over in one level and Canada would win XD

Random areas of africa?
- Let's not become Bigots now (I'm looking at you RE5 flamers)

China?
- enough games about the vietnam war already

Any other ideas? No? THen maybe it's time to cut the shit with all the WW2/terrorist games.

 

[Notthatbright]

Because what the industry needs right now in addition to more shooters is more sequels to shooters. Because Its hard to think of stuff that's new.

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

No, because if it sells well, it means that they'll just keep making sequels that don't add anything new to the gameplay and is completely carried by the online multiplayer.

Halo, Madden and Call of Duty get away with it, and they're horrible enough as it is. I don't want to see more game franchises get away with re-hashing their first games with next to no additions.

If it sells well then and gets a sequel, then Activison will demand some inventive new feature on the new CoD to make it more interesting, and then EA does the same for the next MoH. If it does not sell well then CoD can keep being the same game because it doesn't need to outsell anything else.

Honestly though, why in fucks name would you buy it?

Because your coocoo for coco puffs...

 

[Jonny49]

I'm not holding my breath. It just looks so...bleh. Not to mention the far better looking Black Ops comes out soon after.

I'll be surprised if it passes the 1.5 mark.

 

[Autofaux]

No one buy it! Send a message to these jerks and tell them "no more repetitive shooters! We demand innovation and imagination!"

I have an idea. You do that, and everyone who wants the support a Call of Duty competitor, won't.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

I don't get this. They know that COD is a juggernaught and will wipe the floors with MOH in terms of sales. FPS' are games that live and die by their online multiplayer and most people that play them will wait and get what is the sure thing in the new COD since they know there will be plenty of people playing it.

EA should've either put it out six months ago or wait until the hype dies down from COD before giving ultimatums about the series. It's just bad business to put out what is considered a weaker version of something around the same time that the industry leader puts out their version.

I don't play many if any FPS, but if I did it would be Medal of Honor since the original PS1 game is the only FPS I ever played to completion and actually replayed after that. It just kind of sucks that they are pretty much signing it's death warrant by releasing it at the same time as COD.

Hopefully all the bad press its getting and the fact it's trying to be banned will spur the public to buy it because it's 'Taboo'

I always kinda like this series. I'm not really a FPS guy either.

Worked for Dogma. Free publicity does wonders. Medal of Honor is getting bad press, however, its no No Russian..

Innovation is irrelevent to me. All I care about is if it's fun to play. If you have something new that is is fun then by all means make a game out of it, but don't innovate just for the sake of doing something different. Just look at the Wii.

explained one consultant, who went by the name of Coop.

Am I the only one who thought Arma 2?

 

[latenightapplepie]

For me, EA going the 'authentic and plausible' route sounds better. The recent Call of Duty single player campaigns have always felt a little too silly and 'action movie'-y to me. Tone it down, with less snowmobile chases (and jumps) and less frantic running to deactivate the nukes before they hit the eastern seaboard of the USA, and I'm much more likely to consider buying your game.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Depends on if Black Ops can fix what MW2 screwed up. And seeing how that's not likely to happen, if I have money and time between my paythroughs of Dead Rising 2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and if MoH doesn't end up just a CoD clone and is more like BFBC2 (as in tactical, more team-based, vehicles optional), then I will get it.
Either thatm or wait for a reveiw from my cousin, who is a massive online shooter fan, and hear from him if the game is good compared to others. He ususally has the same taste in shooters that I do.
Also:

'We' don't demand innovation and imagination, what people who play video games demand from developers now a days is 'fun'.

If you want innovation and imagination you should probably demand it from technology as a whole.

AMEN!

 

[WanderingFool]

Well, dont worry, ill buy a copy... wait, yeah you should still worry...

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Well I'm gonna buy a copy. I don't know if they'll hit 3 million though. That's a bit much consider they have to compete with COD during the same holiday season.
