EA Chief Talks War: Battlefield, Medal Of Honor And Getting Ahead Of Activision

Did anyone else see this? I'm surprised nobody said anything.

"Frankly, once you get past, sort of, four people on a map, I think our gameplay is better," Riccitiello answered. "That is a legacy of DICE and where they came from. The original Battlefield PC was a 16-on-16 product and they've optimized. The other thing is, I think things like vehicles and destructible environments are a fresh innovation."

Are they trying to revise history so it doesn't look so obvious they've actually gone backwards in innovation?

Codename eagle was 16 players max, so no.

They should make FPS based on 9th company movie. Soviet conflict in Afghanistan. That would be more believable than any other story line out there.

Only problem is that Activision has tons of money to spend to advertise its games while EA does not.

Did you think about that statement all the way through before you posted it?

It does seem EA wants to use DICE as a tool to dominate. It's no surprise they'd try to pull out the big guns to make sure it doesn't flop. It does make you wonder how much DICE is being stretched though. They have BFBC2, Mirror's Edge 2, BF3, MoH MP, and possibly any unannounced titles. That's quite a handful if you ask me.

That is b/c the team that did COD worked on the MOH:AA team before they broke off and started working on COD.

Lol. I know that, which is why I said "Without MoH, there would be no CoD"
