EA and MOH teams lacking in Ambition?

[Splaetos]

There is no doubt that MOH:AA helped(to say the least) create the WWII shooter surge. So how come everything they put out is such crap since?

sir, your poll question is in the present tense . it should be phrased to show the correct tense as in ''why has EA continued to allow medal of honor to suck so bad'' .

Its my opinion that after AA they tried to implement more and more into the game which just added to the confusion and created a sub enjoyable experience. I like the feel of being alone in a game, me against the baddies, creeping around a bombed out town at my own pace, come across a group of baddies, wipe em out, hit f5 smoke a cig and continue has been lost in the newer games.

I've said it before but if you love AA as much as I did your gonna like Iron Storm. Get past the difficult start and the game is great.

hog-o, that's the game that takes place in the 60s as if the world wars had never stopped, right ? i think when it first came out i tried the demo and it was really really dark . maybe i'll try again .

edit: yep it is . gonna download again and try .

It works on my amd dual 4400... I guess it could be using just one of them, but that wouldnt measure up to the specs.

Anyway, I really think its a mixture of most of the options, EA hasnt been innovative on anything in a long time, nor are they much interested in 'communities' except when it comes to the Sims. 2-12 players just screams 'console', wonder if it will change with dedicated servers.

weird thing hogleg; i downloaded the american version of the demo, ran it, it shows all the files extracting and in fact i do get a directory c:\program files\dreamcatcher\ironstorm, however it's empty . ran the install twice .

I don't know about the demo, never tried it. My buddy has the game and I borrowed it from him. If your a big SP fan its got some great levels.

saw it at target for around 8 bucks, i'll shell out the cash per your recommendation . did some reading at a forums devoted to IS, wow modding for this is a b**** . no sdk .
