m0neY_EQ, who's talking about emulating Day of Defeat? The idea is not to do the exact same thing that DoD does, but for Medal of Honor modders (or official expansions) to learn from Day of Defeat's strengths and use them to Medal of Honor's advantage - within the context of MoH's gameplay.

Day of Defeat has a superior team game with a well-done class system. Its objective-based levels are superior to Medal of Honors in every way, from layout and design to variety and challenge. Both of the above positives in Day of Defeat are the polar opposite of, in my opinion, Medal of Honor's biggest multiplayer faults. MoH has a fairly weak, want-to-be-class-based-but-not-really system, and while the few objective maps are good, the variety lacks and the objectives *are all the same*.

Look, there is a reason why a fan-made game with dated graphics is so amazing popular with online shooter fans. There is a reason why so many people play Day of Defeat. And looking at some of the specifics behind those reasons and encouraging Medal of Honor to take advantage of them in its own way does not insult Medal of Honor in any way, shape, or form.
