For what appears to be an EA trick of screwing developers and taking the franchise in-house to save money and increase revenue.
Which would explain why the ever increasing Medal of Honour games decrease with quality each time.

To be honest I've never even heard "Spark" mentioned. Is it the new name of an existing company?

I always thought Frontline was the single worst MoH game ever... Stragely enough, the MoH games on consoles actually got BETTER each time. Although they're still complete pap. CoD games on the PC were amazingly good... I sincerely hope Spark win the case and keep the CoD franchise. Get it out with a decent publisher. MGS, maybe.

Skim, mainly because I couldn't give a rats ass.

I think the point Hedfix was trying to make was that Spark and Gearbox were the same company or division of the same company.

MoH has always been crap, although there were moments in Frontline which I enjoyed. CoD had a great multiplayer aspect for the PC which helped, the people that designed the maps for the online play are legends.

MOHAA was a good game, with some great set pieces and a fantastic Omaha Beach level. There were some weak moments, and it doesn't stand up too well to CoD, but it's certainly not a bad game by any means.
