EA lowers Medal of Honor Warfighter expectations, but will continue to 'support' game
EA admits that Medal of Honor: Warfighter will not meet financial expectations, and as such, has lowered expectations for the game.
It's not a sign of confidence when a publisher refuses to send review copies of their game until the day of its release. That's what EA did with Medal of Honor Warfighter, a game torn apart by critics.
EA admits that the game will not meet financial expectations, and as such, has lowered expectations for the game. EA's Frank Gibeau said that while the company "takes quality very seriously," he believes the reviews are not in line with the company's internal testing, adding "while we're disappointed in the critical response, we believe this is a good game."
"We will continue to support this game through the holidays," Gibeau added, noting that there will be one map pack in collaboration with the upcoming Bin Laden film, Zero Dark Thirty. However, given the tepid response to the latest Medal of Honor game, one has to wonder what the future for this franchise will be.

Surprise, game you didn't give early to reviewers is bad?
Nawwwww-
Did you see the live Quick Look on Giant Bomb last week? EA sent them a stack of pizzas, the game, and 4 pages of day-one patch notes. It makes me think that EA didn't want reviewers to play the original game code on the disc, which makes me wonder how bad it would be if someone played it on a non-connected console.

The DLC's done or almost done; any patches beyond the day one patch would take weeks or months of post-release dev work. It makes me wonder exactly how far under sales expectations Warfighter sold, and what the long-term plan is for Danger Close. I hope they stay open, but aren't stuck developing another Medal of Honor game to release in 2014, because they've proven that 2 years isn't long enough for them to make something better than Call of Duty, sales-wise or quality-wise.

With all respect to your opinon, I honestly don't think people would enjoy a moraly gray, super-realistic shooter, either.

well sometimes if you want a fair review you have to jerk the reviewers off a bit and if that means giving out review copies so they can have reviews out on time so they're not giving your game a rushed review ASAP after launch day with a sour demeanour and look on their face then that's what you gotta do.

We believe MOH:WF is a "good" game and we will continue to "support" it.

Doesn't matter. Just another EA game I will be adding to the 'didn't buy because it's not available on STEAM' list. Fuck you EA. So many titles I don't buy because your an idiot. Here is a thought, release your fucking games on both STEAM and Origin. Build your game distribution Cloud service while not fucking those of us that are already happy with the leader. Fucktarfs. I hate you EA.

I love MOH and I dont plan on getting BLOPS. I have it on 360 but EA give your head a shake, release it on steam. Stop making less with Origin and take it to the big leagues on steam. Steam makes it so easy to get games. I like everyone else has a huge back log on steam cause its on sale.

Why not, it is free if you buy the game new?

How about getting rid of Modern War shooters? Please GOD move to sci-fi, or the past, or alternate timelines.
WWII was fun, and they could have made TONS more MoH games set in WWII, and hopefully still can now that respawn is back under EA (see 2015 Studios, Im not going to explain).
Modern war just seems so generic. The guns are one of 3 types (basically), and sound relatively the same, and feel the same, and its all bland and desert-y, so it looks the same too. Boring. -
