Only around 50 per cent of Medal of Honor players played Battlefield 3, EA has revealed, with the firm putting the gap down to brand loyalty and the Medal of Honor community enjoying "more authentic shooters".

Only 99.9% of all people who bought Medal of Error stopped playing it after 3 months and completely after 6

Campy da Camper4319d ago

One day. That game blew so hard. Hands down the dumbest AI I have ever seen.

2pacalypsenow4319d ago

i bought it used and enjoy it

Soldierone4320d ago

Not going to lie, looking forward to the new Medal of Honor. If DICE didn't abandon the last one for BF3 then I'd still be playing. Now that DICE is out of the picture, I have a little more confidence that won't happen again.

WeskerChildReborned4319d ago

Yea and i'm also looking forward to Bad Company 3 cause 2 was awesome and i kinda liked it better than Battlefield 3.

thorstein4319d ago

Couldn't agree more. I loved Medal of Honor. They nailed spawning to make it feel like it was an actual battle. I have to admit that I liked BFBC2 Story and Multi better than BF3. I will keep trying the BF3 MP but the story (though good) has some silly glitches on the PS3 (ie my squad leaving enemies alive and running past them; too many scripted events not allowing me to fight where I want to).

Soldierone4319d ago

Bad Company 2 story was way better. Visually BF3 was amazing, but beyond that the story was lacking....it took the stereotypical EA Shooter route where a guy is getting interrogated just so they can move the story along.

I agree with both of you, I still enjoy Bad Company 2 more than BF3 to this day.

Sucitta4320d ago

Medal of Honor was crap.

The reason most don't play battlefield is that it requires thought, above a 7 yr olds level.

Adexus4320d ago

Battlefield requires thought?

Megaton4320d ago

Battlefield requires about as much thought as CoD, or any of its other cookie cutter military FPS brethren.

BakedGoods4319d ago

You've obviously never played BF.

Megaton4319d ago

You've obviously never played an FPS that requires thought. Go try ARMA or Red Orchestra instead of giving Battlefield the credit it isn't due. It's just as casual run-n-gun as CoD, only with over-sized maps and not enough vehicles.

2pacalypsenow4319d ago

@Megaton in other words those games are boring .If you want a simulation join the army games are meant to be fun not confusing and technical especially Online multiplayer shooters theres a reason why people play BF3 and COd and Not Arma and red orchestra (i played Red Orchestra on steam , it sucks)

yoyo121214317d ago

Bf3 requires teamwork!
Something COD doesn't have

Alot of thought must go into aiming and shooting people then

BaSeBaLlKiD7214320d ago

I actually thought Medal of Honor was fun to play online. It was something different than CoD.

Straightupbeastly4319d ago

It was the same crap as cod. Bad spawns, cramped maps, op killstreaks. It was a mess

thorstein4319d ago

"bad spawns" MOH specifically had many spawns that were unreachable by the opposing team.

Soldierone4319d ago

Did you actually play the game? Or did you rent it or base this off the beta?

Straightupbeastly4319d ago

I played the actual game. On ps3 too, it was terrible. Freezing, bad frame rate. It was the sloppiest multiplat shooter this gen. But that moh multiplayer has nothing to do with warfighter because warfighter is completely made by danger close

GaryOak4320d ago

43.7% of all stats are made up on the spot.

thorstein4319d ago

17% of all people could tell you that.

Campy da Camper4319d ago

99% sure I want a bowl of Lucky Charms right now.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

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."

banger8820d ago

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.

FPS_D3TH19d ago

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

PrecursorOrb19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan19d ago

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.

Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga65d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo64d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken65d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN65d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199264d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

Stuart575665d ago

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies65d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde64d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai65d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken65d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay64d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
