The longer it is since I played BiA, the more I come to consider it as a contrived pile of toss 
It's like that old joke - what do you get if you cross a badly scripted RPG with a linear FPS? A contrived pile of toss.

Geez - I feel like I'm at a wake! Isn't anybody upbeat about anything any more? Yeah.... bits of BiA were excellent. Bits were awful. And unfortunately in a game that strives to be realistic, it's the awful bits that stick out. I really wanted to like this game, and I wanted it to be a success. But I'm with Ray - I'm slightly suspicious of a "full" sequel in such a short timeframe.

Never playing the game not too sure what the Moulin Rouge dancers had to do with it, but it definatly wanted me to play the game now, lol.
What would have been a little more on target was them do a party in the style of the old USO Shows, that would have been funny.

I got stung by BiA's mediocre-ness so I think i'll wait for it to drop to £19.99, just like BiA did 2-3 weeks after I bought it

For crying out loud - a few sequels and some console ports are not the end of the world, guys.

I was shocked about ready the BiA2 release news a few weeks back. I agree, wasn't BiA1 just released this year? They are going after Tombraider's glory of producing a boring piece of yearly crap.

I was hard on Gearbox after the 007 fiasco so I am mostly biting my tongue for now.
My main concerns are such:
There were some gameplay/AI issues in BiA that made it a bit of a chore to play. It was a good product, but I got annoyed with the...quirks and ended up taking breaks just to get away from them.
Given the burnout I just described, I am incredibly hesitant about EiB. To be honest, it has always screamed out "Overpriced expansion" to me. I mean, what, the came came out just six months ago? And here we are being asked to pay $50 again? That just seems really wrong, especially if this game is not a drastic revolution of the previous one.
Please, developers/publishers, do not announce the next game before your current game is even out. In cojunction with the six-month release window, it really gives you the feeling of episodic content (that you are paying full price for,) that this is just an annual/bi-annual rehash series, etc.
Anybody remember Tomb Raider?
Looking back at some of the BiA screens, things do look good and I do miss the game a little bit. Perhaps it has been long enough and perhaps the demo will be good enough for me to fall in digital love  all over again...
Thinking "full" games should be released a year apart (minimum,)

Geez, the second one isn't even out yet and they're announcing a third one?! I don't know, I don't like the idea of paying full price multiple times a year for episodic content. I think I would have enjoyed the first one a lot more if the PC version wasn't clearly a console port with broken surround sound and if the gameplay mechanics weren't so repetitive. If they put out a demo for Earned In Blood, I'll try it and see if things have improved I suppose.

I don't think the number of sequels is indicative of the success of the series - it's more to do with the episodic nature of the series Gearbox have decided upon. The first one was good, and the squad control was awkward but still a nice feature. It's something I would like to see in more military FPS's. The main distinction from other WW2 shooters was in the authenticity. You'll have to make your own mind up as to whether that matters to you. If it doesn't, there's better games.

Wow, I must be really out of touch, I remember seeing stuff for the first one before it came out and I thought that was last month, it was already released, then a sequal to have a 3rd one coming?
That would mean it was successful, yet I totally missed it, no one I knows has even touched it. Weird.

I played CoD and the original MoH but when BiA I was bored of WW2 FPS, and ultimately skipped it. BiA any good?

I remeber a lot of hype about this game, the first one, before it came out. Then when it finally hit shelves I just didn't care. I downloaded the demo and never installed it.
Anyone else just have their interest in this game fall off the face of the earth for no real reason?
