These boards can not go away any faster (forum upgrade) just had a long reply but when adding a damn smilie, I lost my whole damn post........
The guy in the EA shirt is Matt from PMOH and is a great guy/friend. The guy with what appears to be a shiner but is not (I forgot the story) is Raymond from MOH:Central of Germany, another great guy.
The other kid (youngster - 18) is Kyle from Xbox 365 and is a new comer to our little MOH group - another great gu.. I mean kid
While we where there to talk about Vanguard for the Wii (yes it's for the PS2 as well but no one played it on the PS2 for more then 3 minutes) we tried to ask about Airborne and sneak up to the 4th floor (damn key card access) but no luck.
Like I said, we where all there for Vanguard and it was a great trip. I would like to point out that yes, EA flew us all out there but time and time again, they can take the good with the bad, meaning - Jim - (Rudedog) -me is going to bitch about something EA does and you know what, they listen every time. They don't black ball me they don't leave the room while I'm talking they listen and everyone should appreciate that. Now do I remember to bitch about every little thing the community hates about EA, probably not but I'm always on them for ..... lets say ... a game called ...... MOH:PA!!!!!!!
EA is trying and by the sounds of Airborne, while a little late, they are listening. I've had conference calls with the guy who is doing the MP side of things and he is cool, wants to try and get everything we need in there, and is working his ass off to do his best.
Still no release date from Airborne, but this time around they are working on getting it right - out of the box. Also I learned that after switching to the Unreal 3 engine, they had to reduce all their art assets as well as models to support the new engine in all it's glory. These things take time.
After all that, I still look like a goof and that will be on the top of the list next time out there
