    Bandwagon or not, I remember the Medal of Honour games having great single player games in the early days so if they can recreate it well enough I will probably buy it

    This could go either way. Could be very very good or just as bad quite easily.

    Tier 1 operator idea sounds fun. the SAS missions in Modern Warfare(the obvious comparison) were great fun. If they follow a similar path and expand it into a full game, could be lots of fun.

    even though the SP was VERY short - MW2 has set the bar for me on Modern day type FPS, it would take something close to phenomenal for me to buy this.

    I wouldn't say that in all honesty, they turned the game in to a run and gun, spray and pray single player. Atleast with Modern Warfare 1 you had missions that differed to vehicle missions, sneaking and sniping missions etc. For me the MW2 single player story and mechanics was a step backwards.

    I'm more pointing out that MOH and CoD always stuck religiously to WW2. Then CoD changed the genre and was a massive success, so I think MOH has jumped on the "no more WW2" bandwagon - if MW hadn't been released, the next MOH would be WW2. For certain.

    Seems most of Hollywood and the games industry and has realised WW2's been done enough. The war in Europe especially.

    Plenty of new war's to make some money off.

    Re: News - Medal of Honor returns, but ditches World War II setting

    The setting doesn't mean a damn thing for me, just how good is the gameplay. And for that the first MW was far better than MW2. And they in turn were not a match for Cod2.
    We've gone from a wealth of WW2 games to hardly any at all, so a new WW2 shooter in the market would now be quite the novelty.
    Still if MoH turns out to be a good game then i'm sure i'll buy it, bandwagon or not. Who's gonna care if it's good fun?

    Didn't the original team making MoH split of from 2015 to form Infinity Ward anyway? So there is no bandwagon, just the same team making WW-Whatever games for the last decade.

    From memory I do believe the MoH devs did split which resulted in Infinity Ward. From memory the split was over EA pushing MoH to hard and game after game, so they started up, got taken in by Activision and the circle begins again

    At the end of the day it doesn't matter if its the one millionth game about WW2 or Modern Warfare. If it's good it's good. I don't buy into hype or flame wars. It could be the worlds most slagged game but if I like it then that is all that matters.

    Although saying this, I do hope there is a demo for the game before it launches. Far to many releases are out months before a demo to drum up sales again.

    If it also jumps on the 'customise your weapon with strobe lights, a ghettoblaster, a scope and a laser pointer' bandwagon I will be very disappointed. Modern Warfare was ruined by that excessive nonsense.

    Re: News - Medal of Honor returns, but ditches World War II setting

    I suspect this announcement comes on the back of not only MW2's success, but EA seeing an opportunity (possibly) to exploit MW2's perceived weakness and failures. Think how much they could learn...
