Default I want EA to give me my money back! (said reluctantly) - 11-14-2002, 05:13 PM

I think EA was on the right track with creating a team to upgrade MOH, making new weapons, additional gameplays and additional features but somewhere down the road the decision makers at EA lost focus just a bit. What went wrong? EA had plenty of time to organize an elite team to make this sucker great. Don't misunderstand me, I believe in EA and think they have brought us some great things to the computer gaming industry but I just got a bad feeling lastnight when I opened up the box and started to play Spearhead.

I was in shock to see the same maps that where used in the single player version of MOHAA in Spearhead now as multiplayer maps. We have all seen these maps too much already. Why would I want to pay money to see them again? Lets face it! They're boring after a while! Thats just the way this game is. It may be just my opinion but I have talked to many folks who feel the same way as I. Could it be EA, that your team of developers wasn't quite developed enough to pull off a full set of maps by the deadline? Or was there just not enough user made maps that were authentic enough looking to be choosen in the map contest? Thus resorting to less attractive, easy to convert maps already in the game.

Let me talk about the demo because I think it deserves talking about. I think EA is right on target to offer up a demo to a game or expansion pack.
This demo was great! Two enjoyable maps that were a refreshing break to the same old MOHAA maps. For me, it brought back the joy of playing MOH since I have outta the loop making custom maps and working on my own MOHAA website. These are what impressed me the most about the demo: The multi-textured walls,creative designs with playability in mind, excellent lighting, and one the TOW map I enjoyed the camera work when the allies capture and steal the sub. EXCELLENT!

One of the biggest problems and the reason I would like my money back is that the full version didnt deliver on what the demo was portraying. The weapons issue. I feel mislead about the new weapons in the game. I heard a number like 12 new weapons. Wrong! All you did was add 3 or 4 weapons and changed the weapon I liked the most. The KAR98 sniper. Additionally EA left out the Granategewehr rifle that was in the demo. I dont understnad that one? You took the time to create it but yet you dont let gamers enjoy it and make MOHAA a better game. Thats the wrong focus to have. We need more weapons to the game. Allow the players to decide what weapon that want to use. Dont limit it. In this game MORE IS BETTER!

I think $30 is about right for an expansion pack as long as it delivers what it says. This one feel below par to me and I think if they focused more attention the features listed below, they would have grabbed gamers for life on this title. Features that I think this game most benefits from include the following: more new weapon models to choose from, useable vehicles, new game engine features such as the ablility to take prisoners, voice communications between team members, ability to go prone, a more secure server console,

In the end, I'm surprised that EA has released something that is below par for an excellent and popular game as MOHAA is. We dont need single player maps ported over to multiplayer. Make something new and exciting for us to enjoy. And more useable items. If you need help call me, ill join the team and help create this great game we call MEDAL OF HONOR.
