We are not making a medically realistic wargame, and people will not do so for a while. In We are not going to model the bullet flying through internal organs, nor are we going to simulate the corresponding physical trauma eventually leading to death. I guess this means we have an unrealistic game...

In short, we have *NEVER* claimed to be making a completely realistic game. We are making a highly realistic game, and a highly fun game. Of course, fun is subjective; if you only find gory games fun, you probably won't enjoy Allied Assault. If you enjoy good FPS gameplay with a high level of historical accuracy, then you will enjoy Allied Assault.

And the fact remains that no amount of talking about the blood issue on this forum will cause EA to decide that the game vitally needs blood. I am sorry if it is a major sticking point for you, but you are going to have to accept that nobody is going to ship a game in the Medal of Honor universe that has blood. If you have a problem with that, you can take it up with Steven Spielberg (who originated the bloodless MoH universe), EA (who perpetuates it), ESRB (who mandates it for EA marketing's target rating), and the millions of people who think that videogames instead of parenting and other social factors cause violent behavior.
