IT's simply amazing to me how when a company like EA so PURELY driven by coporate greed without regard to End User meets up with End user that bends over takes it unlubed and says "thank you mam may I have another!".. (yes I am one) First off for those that say to not complain.. how bout if YOU don't spend countless hours to run/operate dedicated servers, websites maybee you don't have as much room to compain.. well I do run dedicated servers,forums, webhosting for MOH/Spearhead and support MOH so I DO have room to complain..

You know, we give wayyyyyy to much credit to EA.. they are just publishers responsible for ORGANIZING a product and seeing that product meets the customers needs.. This is what they do and this is what they are a joke at. As publishers it thier job to orgainzie the codding team/comapany. Ok lets recap .....

1) MOH1 riddled with bugs crappy online support server support.

2) It Does NOT take a year to get the basic no brainer things like BAN and SV PURE to work (no it dosent work) they are built in functions on a quake 3 engine ALREADY done years before MOH.. Wait till we get a patch????? Well yea I hope for this patch to but the idea of needing a patch is silly and I won't put to much faith based on EA's track record. Look at what Rockstar did with Vice city in a year and you look at what EA did with MOH in a year.. it'f fricken embarassing..

3) There is proporitionaly wayyyyy less actual single player content then original MOH.. IT was looked what could be dont with the least effort to make the most profits.. As an operator of MOH servers I can tell you What was done to "improve" multiplayer and servers is at best a JOKE.. So really your 34$ = a small single player ADDON .. compare that to the orginal 50$ for an original MOH concept and I don't see how you can say this is anything but a rip off.

4)Wait for a patch? You gota be kidding me.. Fool me once shame on me, fool me 20 times in a row I must be an EA cusotmer.

5)ONLINE play is what a lot of people care about and single player is just icing.. I believe EA thinks the opposite.. On line gaming is treated and glosed over as just some annoyance they gota throw in a few kibbles to make it sound good.. The "EXTA" features for online gameplay? Don't make me laugh they made a simple GUI to access built in commands in the Quake engine.

6)With so many things missing in Spearhead all we will see now is a split in the MOH online community.. This release just Cut our numbers.. those that will play MOH and those that will play spearhead.

The real frustration comes not from we didn't get this or they didn't fix that.. its from what we see MOH "COULD" be seems so close to being yet that vision gets FD to hell by EA..
