Analyst Casts Doubt On Medal Of Honor: Warfighter's Ability To Succeed

Posted on Monday, October 22 @ 11:53:56 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

Did you know a new Medal of Honor game is coming out this week? Trust me, you're not the only person surprised.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter is set to debut tomorrow and there's already serious doubt waiting to greet it when it arrives. Analyst Doug Creutz went as far as to say that Cowen and Company, the financial services firm he works for, has been skeptical of the game's ability to deliver for several months now.

Since late July we [Cowen and Company] have been cautious about EA's ability to reach management's FY13 guidance due to our view that Medal of Honor: Warfighter appears likely to be a major disappointment. 

He further explained:

With only a week before a murderer's row of AAA titles begins to come out (Assassin's Creed III on October 30; Halo 4 on November 6; Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on November 13), we think MoH:W has a very short window to capture sales, and a dearth of reviews is unlikely to help. The decision to make early review copies unavailable does not suggest to us that the company has a high degree of confidence in the quality of the game.

Battlefield 3 managed to release within proximity of a flurry of AAA releases and has sold over 10 million copies, so releasing during holiday season isn't necessarily a death sentence. That said, the other reasons for his—and their—doubt are completely valid. EA is usually proud to send out review copies and advertise a new release like it's the last day on Earth. But neither is the case, and that's extremely alarming for anyone with a pre-order.

    I can see this being worrisome. Then again they said the same stuff 2 years ago when MoH reboot came out, and it sold surprisingly well, so I don't think we should write it off yet.

    However, I am disappointing in the direction the game seems to be taking. I LOVED that the first game took place in Afghanistan and was based on realish missions and gave a totally different feel than CoD. I feel like they are trying to make it as over the top as possible.....which is what went wrong with CoD.

    True, CoD does make a bit of a show of itself, but i think thats what makes the franchise so likeable.

    Though i'm ashamed to say it, i havent played a single Medal of Honor game, so i cant really judge it. (i know, i know, preposterous.)

    My first MoH game was Frontline on PS2, and it was one of my first shooters, probably my first war themed shooter. I thought it was pretty damn good. Then I played Rising Sun, also on PS2, and my teenage brain couldn't comprehend what happened. Somehow it looked worse than the older Frontline, the controls were so bad that I'd try to aim slightly to the right, only to pass right over my target and now have to aim left, and the levels were all incredibly confusing and it was difficult to discern anything in them.

    That game was just such a failure. I still remember the Arnhem Knights mission in Frontline, where it starts you out with the BAR. All I remember from Rising Sun is that it was awful.
