Medal of Honor to Sell 3.5 Million, Won't See Impact from Taliban Controversy, says Pachter

EA's upcoming Medal of Honor has once again made headlines thanks to the controversy surrounding the ability to play as Taliban in the game's multiplayer mode. In a surprise move, retailer GameStop confirmed earlier today that it's pulling advertising and not selling the game at any of its stores located on military bases.

I fucking hate Patcher! Ban this fucker from our community.

Darkstorn5035d ago (Edited 5035d ago )

This whole Medal of Honor controversy is bogus, it all started because Fox News portrayed it as a valid issue instead of the bullshit that it is. That's bad journalism, and it started a fake dispute.

Of course sales won't be impacted, the only people who give a damn are suburban soccer moms!

EDIT: I do think 3.5 million units is a little high, Pachter.

sikbeta5035d ago

Hmmm.... controversy = sales

Coheno5035d ago

I think It'll do more... Preorders in the US are already pretty significant, plus us Europeans, and there's still over a month till release.

fcpthebest5035d ago

If you check the preorders you´ll see that they are ALMOST on par with Black Ops.

The game will probably sell more than BC2, although it is a mod... :)

M-Easy5035d ago

Pachter is an idiot but i pre-orderd MOH

bumnut5034d ago

Maybe, but how many of those people will buy it for the battlefield 3 beta?

Hmm, it's a busy holiday season, and shooters are plentiful. 3.5 million might be a bit much

OhReginald5035d ago (Edited 5035d ago )

pachter gets it wrong...AGAIN.

JohnApocalypse5035d ago

I don't see that happening. How many copies did Bad Company 2 sell anyway?

gtsentry5035d ago

bad company 2 sold over 5 million

gtsentry5035d ago

may i ask why someone disagreed

dkgshiz5035d ago

So...Yeah, it did sell over 5 million. MOH is going to stink really badly though.

Urmomlol5035d ago

I love how Patcher just states the obvious and makes shit up and people actually pay him to do so.

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."

banger8855d 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_D3TH54d 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

PrecursorOrb54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan54d 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.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus550d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled550d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_92551d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000550d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex550d ago (Edited 550d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH550d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad550d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.
