Holding Greg Goodrich to his word

[tgillespie]

Reading some of the interviews with Medal of Honor's executive producer, Greg Goodrich, I found quotes that needed highlighted for reference later. As you all may know, the next installment of Medal of Honor is being broken up into two seperate entities. The first is the singleplayer, being developed by EALA. The second is the multiplayer, being developed by EA DICE. I would only presume that as executive producer, Goodrich presides over both developments, speaking on behalf of EALA and EA DICE. And now for the quotes.

Can we expect any kind of multiplayer beta like we've seen with Battlefield?
Greg Goodrich: We've not decided on any specifics yet. But it would certainly make sense for us to repeat the things that have worked in the past.

Are you keeping the PC community in mind for this game? Please don’t do just a simple port!
Greg Goodrich: We take the PC version of our game as seriously as we do any other version.

Seeing how DICE just dropped the bomb that Battlefield Bad Company 2 will not ship with dedicated server support, one can only conclude that since the two titles share the same Frostbite engine, Medal of Honor will not as well? Correct me if I'm wrong, but until its confirmed or on the shelves, all we know is what we've seen. The last few installments of Medal of Honor have been nothing other than a PR office trying to sell an under-developed pile of crap. So Goodrich, don't allow us to deem you a hypocrite come fall. Do the right thing and make the PC version as serious as you do any other version. You've already done it once. Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Couldnt agree more Trent, and I would also like to highlight, that we have the exact same situation with modding tools. Battlefield bad comany 2 will have no modding tools. So, suddenly this doesnt look good...so im waiting for the right thing too.

What i don't get is the fact Battlefield 2 modding was a huge success, just take a look at Forgotten Hope 2, Project Reality etc.

Even long before that. Battlefield 2 was Desert Combat repackaged. DICE used & abused the mod community and now pays no dividends.

Werent they creator hired as consultors for bf2? And then they go separate ways with Frontlines and now with Homefront ?

Even so; IW does the same in CoD Franchise. CoD7 must be a very weak one since the last modable and creative contributors was CoD4(I dont get amazed if suddenly CoD goes Star Wars way, hehehehe).

World at War has the Vietnam mod by RGNs Zeroy, it's just MW2 does not have modding or server support.
