i'm sure i'll be excited once it's a few weeks away..but right now i'm all modern warfared out. Halo's much more of a needed different pace this year.
Funny how EA can base a game on conflicts happening right now without so much as a fuss stired..yet that THQ game got totally raped by the media and "cancelled"

Guess the public is only ok with people making money out of tragedies if hollywood makes the money out of it ( I'm looking at you World Trade Center and Flight 93).
You mean six days in fallujah. It was never cancelled, Activision just decided not to publish it. The game is finished and they are waiting for a publisher to step in.
The reason why there was so much commotion about the game is because it tells the real story of an actual event that happened not too long ago. Medal of honor doesn't tell a true story of an actual event, but uses the background of the war in Afghanistan, which makes it less personal, and in Medal of Honor there will be 'a good ending', like a Hollywood movie.
Looking forward to it.
i know it was never truely cancelled.
It's funny how theres a line drawn between a real story of an actual event..and a game based on actual events going on right now. Whys one less sensitive than the other?

All the proceeds of United 93 went to the families of the lost and charities.

The publisher was Konami. As it was, it was the Japanese parent company at Konami, ordered that support for the game be pulled, once the 'controversy' over it started up. The American subsidiary has gone on record as saying they were behind Six Days, 100% of the way.
Chances are, if Activision or THQ had anything to do with Six Days, we'd be playing the game already. THQ needs the publicity (good or bad) of being attached to a high profile game, and Activision would have just redubbed it Call of Duty: Fellujah Warfare, ending any controversy and selling a bazillion copies all in one move.
As for Medal of Honor reboot, I hope this game rocks the socks off of everyone and goes on to sell a bazillion copies. I'm tired of giving Activision my hard earned money, if all they are going to do with it, is water down my favorite franchises and screw over my favorite developers with it. So fuck Activision in the nose. Long live Respawn. Long live DICE. And long live anyone else who is making AAA games, and are not associated with Activision.
I hope they don't make the same mistake as Activision/IW did on PC with MW2's crap restrictive online system.. If they do, this game is useless (to me) no matter how cool it looks or plays..

Nope, dedicated servers like in Bad Company 2 are confirmed.
Also confirmed in COD:Spec Ops.
I still don't think it's enough, though. Rented servers (with no user level access) are good, but we're still missing dev tools. If BC2 proves anything, it's that competition is still horrifically difficult without them.
