I'd be an idiot to buy Infinite on PC no matter what they promise.

You'd be an idiot to buy it at all (on any platform) if you disagree with 2K's treatment of PC gamers. I cannot stress this enough: publishers don't care which platform you buy the game on. If you boycott the PC version but then go and buy the 360 version, your boycott means nothing at all. If you want anything to change, voice your opinions AND back them up by not supporting 2K.

Hear hear. Developers and publishers don't care since, unlike indies, a sale for them is just another sale regardless of platform. The best way to show you disapprove with these attitudes is, as Jerykk says, by not getting any 2K product for any platform whatsoever.

Or buy the console version used, get patches, don't get DLC or pay for free-to-new-owners features.

Rented this for a console, and it's awful. I was a big fan of the first one, but this is the biggest case of sequel-itis in years. It's like someone gave a dev team that was half out-sick an indie-game budget and said "rip off Modern Warfare 2, but IN THE AIR."

Pro-tip to game writers; if you insist on Russian villains, don't call them Ultranationalists for another ten years.

Jesus fucking christ do you people here have any shame? That's not something to joke about at all. Really, you sitting here on a game forum hoping someone to kill themselves just proves how worthless your life is and how kids today have no respect for anyone or anything but themselves. Your parents did a fine job of raising another punk who in this already disease ridden cespool of a society.


I was actually being sarcastic, since I don't think someone with an easy, high-paying job is very likely to be so ashamed they'd kill themselves just because the Internet says, "But she's a PR goon! That makes her BAD!"

2KElizabeth is quickly becoming the next Bowling. She was the same one who said that modding is stealing.


I think she's easily the most worthless person at 2K, even by PR standards. She's the epitome of a company drone, who simply parrots what those above her tell her to say.

What an exciting career path that must be, when your entire goal in life is to be the company toadie.


Considering how much marketing and PR pays, I'm sure she's ashamed of herself and will commit suicide any day now.

Prior to the change, Thompson has embarked on his usual mission to bring down the adult game, writing a letter to the US Secretary of Defense urging him to "do what is necessary, proper, and legal to stop the release of Medal of Honor", on the basis that it serves as a "demonstrable danger to our troops by providing a training tool for those who wish to kill them."

I see we're still enthralled by the fantasy that moving a mouse and clicking the left button (or nudging an analog stick and pressing R2) actually teaches you how to aim and fire a gun in real life, to say nothing of properly loading it, charging it, and maintaining it so that doing all of the above actually results in a bullet leaving the barrel. Meanwhile, the exceptional teammwork mechanics of first-person shooters teach you all you need to know about how it takes more than one man to win an engagement and how working together is essential to both getting the job done and not dying in the process.

News Comments > US Army on MoH Taliban Controversy
30. Re: US Army on MoH Taliban Controversy Oct 3, 2010, 01:44 Dr. D. Schreber
 
I'd be more inclined to believe that EA was some sort of troll mastermind when it comes to advertising if not for Activision consistently beating them out for five years now and their efforts to capitalize on the Wii falling flatter than non-casual devs who don't even bother with it.

There may not be such a thing as bad publicity, but publicity via controversy and "normal" viral marketing only goes so far. If they seriously have an executive in their marketing department saying "We need to play this entire thing viral instead of spending money on actual advertising which is proven to be the most important influence on sales," he and whoever hired him need to be fired.

And frankly, I find it far more likely that "We expected no controversy" is ignorance, not cover. Or are we still pretending that common sense is actually common?

Just hoping that I will be able to kill as many "taliban" as possible. I sincerly hope that I can enter a mosque and just slaughter as many of them as I can--after all what goes around comes around.
Hopefully I can kill as many muslems as I want in the game.

I doubt it, though there's suppose to be a UAV mission in MOH.

Supposedly Six Days in Fallujah is still going to be released, I doubt it has any mosque battles, even though it did happen in reality.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKxa6IPjL_U

shit hit the fan in Fallujah after those private security workers were killed and their burned bodies were hung from a bridge.

And then it hit the fan again because the first time didn't work out so well.

Appreasement only makes the aggressor stronger. Remember Munich.

Agreed.

At the very least, why not at least call them "terrorists" and not "opposing force"? Hell, even CounterStrike's been doing that without controversy for ages.

Because "Opposing Force" takes away the implication of Asymmetrical Warfare, and it's easier for people to accept that classical Army Vs Army warfare is Good and Just and Honorable and other happy things as well.

That comment probably just got you flagged by US Homeland Security and put on a watch list.

No, this is the Obama administration; they do that to Americans now.

Yeah, like we had to wait for the Obama Administration for that to start, hehe.

Axis forces included more armies than just the german one.

Right (and correct me if I'm wrong - I probably am in the case of a few titles) but in most WW2 shooters that I can recall, you don't ever play as 'Nazis', you play as 'Axis'.

Not that this actually means anything, because it's not like the Nazis were the only Axis Power that committed atrocities in World War II. Heaven forbid a History curriculum actually include Unit 371, though.

Pitching a realistic setting and then sanitizing proper nouns is nothing more than a quick and easy way to avoid self-appointed moral guardians. World War II is okay as long as there aren't actual Nazis, because if the Germans were just a bunch of dudes, it's a nice war. Likewise Afghanistan. It's like politically correct Revisionist History.

This needs to be resolved in a Steel Cage Strap match. Kotick Vs Schafer, no disqualification, ends in pinfall by accident like all of Hulk Hogan's strap matches. Special guest referee is Randy Pitchford (which is why everyone forgets the ending.)

Jesus christ, neither of them are good at this. Kotick is just blatantly lying (yes, Bobby, we actually remember when Activision stated that Brutal Legend was one of the titles that got dropped due to it's lack of yearly exploitability) and Schafer is just terrible at comebacks. "It's sad that he's dissing the American dream and my team's fulfillment of it!" C'mon, already. At least vaguely insult the man.
