The latest Medal of Honor game is just the most recent game to use contemporary combat as a backdrop for a first person shooter. But as developers have learned, setting shooters in ongoing conflicts is not without its share of controversy.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
can we move past the ridiculous "modern conflict" controversies please? These are GAMES (i.e. this is NOT REAL). Mckay.....geez!!
I agree, but I can sort of understand how families of dead soldiers might have gotten upset. Objectively, I don't see anything wrong with it - but if my brother or sister had been killed in Afghanistan, I can imagine reacting in a similar way. Grief is a powerful emotion.
The "Allied" forces have killed how many innocents in this "war on terror" yet they
bitch and moan about a game because of the name Taliban (the game is based on the Afghan war) with whom the "Allied" forces fight everyday. How come there has never been uproar about playing as the Nazi's, Maybe this is why we will never get a true game based on the Vietnam war maybe its every war the American's didn't or can't win where there will be this uproar.
