It's just fcuking cynical. EA are more interested in selling new games, than actually supporting existing ones. I used to work in the Games industry, and any fool can tell you, that if you build a community and support it, they'll buy anything you release. However, you need to talk to your community, to find out what they want to see. Don't pretend you're talking to them, then ignore everything they say. Spearhead, could have been a great add on, instead, it had the feel, especially on certain levels, of being a Port from PS2, as opposed to having been written specifically for the PC. Tweaking the difficulty level, is a cheap trick by lazy programmers. The value for money of Spearhead, is pantz.

Now we hear the SDK is yest another EA half finished job. Incredible. Look at European Air War. The game architecture is such, that people can reskin and design new elements, very easily. The game got it's life extended by nearly 3 years.

Also, if there is penty of support and Mods for a game, it just keeps selling. Do EA realise that? Or have the sales of CS and UT totally escaped their notice?

MOHAA is dying on it's feet, and that's sad, it could have had a long and varied life, but instead, we'll just have to keep putting up with half arsed , no value for money addons, to keep the EA money machine turning
