Except World War II was sixty years ago and most of the painful memories are probably behind, versus a conflict that’s only six years old- though since most WWII vets didn’t give a shit about the games and films like Saving Private Ryan just like most Marines don’t give a shit about Six Days in Fallujah, I doubt there’s any sufficent reason to rally against this besides the family and the close friends of the ones who were killed in Fallujah. So why the hell not make the game? Most people don’t give a rat’s ass about games like Grand Theft Auto “trivializing” crime and banging hookers, or games like Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising where you kill Chinese soldiers that have a fully animated skeleton (i.e. you can kneecap them or make their head explode with a well-placed grenade)
all wargames trivialize war, I’m interested in 6 days because it actually has a purpose as a documentary.
Well. Either one seems a lot better than MW2.
Are you responding to me?If you are, You do realize I was annoyed with the fact that it was a big deal to them right?
It’s just as annoying when I read the story about the black girl calling RE5 (it was five right?) racist.
I think he was just commenting on the topic, not what you said.
And yes, it was RE5, since a decent amount of infected were black. Oh noes.
Yeah I wasn’t sure.
Used to love the RE series up too Veronica. Haven’t followed them that much anymore though.
I can assure you another brown and gray shooter is not going to be interesting.
Modern day shooters for the most part share the same problems as WWII shooters: They have limited interesting locales and are ultimately predictable, which is why we need more sci-fi.
scifi shooters all look the same too.
But they don’t have to. There is room for creativity. Modern war games pretty much do.
I wish “Darkest of Days” was actually good.
Hey, maybe they’ll make a sequel and do it right. It was their first game, and publishers aren’t all Valve.
They don’t kick bomb rigged corpses away in MW2… so it’s automatically better than CoD.
No really, i love the MOH series, this is a must buy for me, and it has dem tasty vehicles.
I wonder how well they will actually portray the war?
Brace for a mission involving 4 straight hours of slowly driving around a neighbourhood in a Humvee and waving at children.
I could see that as part of it. You have to avoid suspicious men who seem overweight and ice coolers.
Medal of Honor is still around? They must have been sucking this dry to the last buck aswell then…
Loved the old games though, oh the nostalgia.
Medal of Honor Airborne was alright until the last level, where it just threw armored Übersoldiers with miniguns at you and laughed in your face.
But I am interested in this one, even if just for the multiplayer part, which is being made by DICE.
BTW, this game will use two game engines. Unreal Engine 3 for the SP campaign and Frostbite (same engine as Bad Company 2) for multiplayer.
I predict QA and costumer support hell with this one.
The first couple of MoH games were good because at that time the call of duty team still hadn’t split to make call of duty.
Well it’s good that they are using better engines than what IW is using, which is basically a modified ID Tech 3 engine, which is what they’ve been using since the days of CoD1.
Why can’t the whole WW2 shooter series just die?
Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, they’re all the same. Even if they don’t use the WW2 setting they’re still the same thing we’ve seen a billion times before.
