WHY BUY FRONTLINE?! (about EA's ***ness)

[Koopa]

Ive seen lots of people ask about frontline...now, if you dont have a decent PC and a decent internet connection (broadband!), just skip this rant...

....

....

*are they gone yet?*

okay good

now...honestly, why would ANYONE (minus the aforementioned people) buy frontline? its just a PORT of some nice little ps2 shooter that was better in its PC incarnation (allied assault). Now i have to admit, its nice of EA to include split screen, but honestly, how much time did it take to rehash some single player levels (i think, not sure) and make it so you can have a choppy-framerated deathmatch.with ps2ish graphics?! and NO LIVE SUPPORT? the PC version has online support, why settle for less?! i'd have bought it if it had live support, just for all the cool buddy list, voice chat goodness.

which brings me on to my next part of my rant.
IF EA DOESNT PUT BATTLEFIELD 1942 ON XBOX LIVE I WILL KILL THEM
my comp cant handle it, so im gonna get it on xbox anyway...so COME ON EA give us what we want, advertise it well, and i guarantee you you'll make a ****load of money. what normal heterosexual adolescent male wouldn't love shooting stuff on land, sea, and air, ON LINE, with voice chat? NONE! EA needs to get their heads out of the sony exec's money-filled undergarments and SEE THE LIGHT! the XBL service is infinitely better, IMO, than anything else out there..WHY CANT THEY SEE THIS?! we've got to get bill gates to shove a large wad of cash in their faces to "convince" them about the merits of xbox


yeah thats my rant...feel free to comment, flame, or whatever

Yeah I've had the same kinda rant with them. It is almost like they hope that console owners don't know that PC's exist. That way they can sucker you into the same game with a new name.

EA is such a huge publisher and a much needed supporter for any console. I just wish they would take their lips off of PS2's ass (not much room left since Rockstar's lips are planted firmly in the center) and try making the best game possible available on the best hardware out there.

I hate EA as well. They have some good games but they seem to absolutely hate xbox. I mean they put the least effort into making games for xbox as possible. I wish they would smarten up, becuase some of their games could be damn good on xbox.

[studepaber]

BF 1942 is an absolute blast online (except I hate elite fliers that do barrel rolls 3 feet from the ground and proceed to mow me down). If for some ungodly, unforgivable reason it doesn't come online I would still recommend for those who havent played it on the PC to buy it. If it IS online, I may still buy it even though I have it on the PC, because sometimes when I play online it's choopy and laggy (with lots of ppl anyway). But yea I have MOHAA so I don't intend to even rent Frontline.

yeah, if theyd develop the games on xbox and dumb them down for ps2/gc instead of making them for the worst system and porting them...i'd be happy

[beef747]

I hate EA however I cannot help but think of the old days with playing SKATE or DIE on the C64, great computer...

back then EA used to be good, but now they are just a ****ty as the next company, all in it for the almighty dollar, and could care less for anything else, even if it means betraying their own customers... this sounds kinda like Enron doesn't it.

MOHAA could have been even greater had they not gotten rid of the 2015 team, who could have made a very decent addon instead of this spearhead addon, which looks pretty much like crap, and a large portion of its multiplayer maps aren't even official, they are custom I believe. (from the contest)

I wont begin with what else is wrong with them because of how greedy they are, Global Operations anyone? how about that 007 game that was supposed to come to PC but was too ****ty? and the list goes on...

Lets play sometime msn, icq?

ummm. i agree. accoprding to A MICROSOFT COORPERATE EXECUTIVE OR SOMETHING, EA IS A GOOD PARTNER OF MICROSOFT, and that they make absolutely godd games for xbox.

Did anyone see the reviews for NEED FOR SPEED:HOT PERSUIT 2? On ps2 it was game of the month and held with high regard, but for the first time ever....EA actually dumbed down the game from ps2 to xbox!

What a cheap way to make money but still make a crappy game for xbox.

EA does not have a good reputation on xbox.Battlefield 1942 may do the trick with it being a killer app xbox live game and all, but im willing to bet that something, SOMETHING will keep it from being spectacular. Something small but yet literal.

Im willing to bet that the controls will be messed up or an unstable XBL infrastructure code. Something.

Also just to add a suspicios note......was anyone aware that as of now, EA is ps2's only online partner? why wouldnt ps2 pay them off to show poeple how crappy xbl really is?

ITS A CONSPIRACY MAN!

anyway i guess were just gonna have to wait and see what EA is up too, but i think battlefield 1942 really is their last chance to impress us...........

even so, that doesn't mean you have to ***** about it. nobody seems to care about them, but do you see them *****ing about it, no because they are still making money.

Of course it does, this is America. If no one *****es then nothing gets accomplished. They will continue to keep on with their **** poor practices and we the consumer will be the ones that it hurts. Constructive complaints work best of course.

yup, the constitution gives us the right to protest stuff, so we should DO IT! ITS OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY!

or ya know...i just wanna play bf1942 online without paying lots money to upgrade my pc

[hook-worm J]

Thats what I love about having a nice PC and an Xbox, you get the best of both worlds... Only one problem still though, no broadband

[Highlite23]

I wish i could remember where i read/heard this but, EA and MS are acctually inking some deal for future games with online support and some XBOX exclusives.

This actually may have already happened, i'm not sure.

As far as Frontline...I don't play games on my PC or own a PS2, so i gotta say i really am enjoying this game and the addition of multiplayer opens up the gameplay.

I'm loving the Xbox MOH: FL!


Koopa, are you the same person at Gaming Age boards?
