Have you played Bad Company 2?Daveman said:
The sound in it is absolutely stunning and completely adds to your experience more than any other game I've ever played. Dice's sound department are the best in the biz IMO.
I already used my disposable income to pre-order it. Played the beta, and while it was rough, and not as good as MW2 or B:BC2, I thought it had potential. Still, Another competitor in the FPS market will bring nothing but competition and new ideas. Hopefully there's a new sequel.
Moh:AA was the only game in the franchise that i really really liked. Quite original and fun - played countless hours in MP.
These new games are just clones of whatever is selling best at the moment. No loss for me here if they never make another clone again.

Not sure if I'm going to buy it. I'll buy it over Black Ops but since I bought TF2 and found it to be infinitely more fun than MW2 I'm not sure if I'll even bother with this.
When did it become acceptable for game companies/producers to tell the consumers how much of the product they were required to buy?
This recalls an article where the producers of Chrono Trigger (<3) made mention that the reason why no further sequels were made, was directly based off of the sales of Chrono Cross, and the DS remake. Well, Im sorry, people arent going to give more than a passing nod of nostalgia to a game thats over 10 years old, and available on no less then 3 platforms.
If we, as gamers, accept statements like "10 million copies or no sequel" as "ok", then we can rest assured that our beloved franchises will become hostages to our wallet, and the producers greed.
(Disclaimer: Im not saying MoH is a beloved franchise.)
(Disclaimer 2: I dont need a lesson on econmics, 'voting with your wallet' or any other capitalistic notions. I understand how it works. Its still insulting to have game producers tell us how many copies we need to buy.)
Whiskey Echo!!

Doesn't surprise me acording to pachter the internl data sugested they expect about 3 million units sold
Why yes, O Almighty EA Overlords, I shall buy one of three million copies, so that I and my fellow peons can enjoy another brown sequel to a completely generic brown shooter where you shoot brown people (though admittedly, that's still better than vodka drenched russians). Speaking of brown, the latest Stolen Pixels covered it nicely...
I couldn't agree more with you!mythgraven said:

There are plenty of innovative games for you to play, and plenty of shooters for me. If you ever actually tried them, you'd discover they played differently. But, I suppose it is easier to tell people that they have to have fun the way you do, isn't it?
Because god damnit, I've never told anyone not to play innovative games, or that they mostly end up being made solely for the sake of innovation, rather than having a good idea. Because they know if the make a gimmick important enough, people will buy it to be different.
Because I'm not a member of the Fun Police, and I think people can have fun however they want as long as it isn't illegal or compromising someone else.
Hearing that from you is kinda weird. You don't have Xbox Live Gold, and haven't played ODST which means you most likely didn't get into the Reach Beta which which showed that it's a different game. Reach is quite different from halo 3 but still feels like Halo. I will agree with the statement when talking about Madden and COD but Reach does not apply in that statement. Also, don't rip on the other halo games either because those were different from each previous games as well. I mean they didn't completely overhaul the gameplay but if you completely change the gameplay it just doesn't fell right when you're playing it.

Portal 2 Originally lacked portals because the developers wanted to change Game play and it just didn't sit right with the players. Don't get me wrong, I love me some innovation (Backbreaker>Madden by far IMO) but just because a developer makes a sequel to their game using the elements that made their game good in the first place doesn't make it bad, but alot of innovation can stem from one small change within a game.
In all honesty, I'm probably going to buy it just to spite the controversy surrounding it.
But remember;
[HEADING=2]Don't use the "It's just a game" excuse! That completely undermines the entire point of the game and only further proves their point that the game is tasteless![/HEADING]
