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.

MoH games = Kill the enemy!!!!!!!!!111111111111$$$$$$$$$$$

Yep, I finished Frontline and found it pretty enjoyable but Rising Sun was buggy with a stale engine, bad collision detection and terrible set pieces.

I got it for christmas and it's one of the few presents I've traded off (most have sentimental value) because it was so damn awful.

It was definitely a straight PS2 port though

Rising Sun was AWFUL.

Frontline was half-decent.

And the overlookable elements of a different setting and plotline?

Rising Sun and Frontline were the same game.
Just Japs instead of Germans.

Yeah because most people on this site WOULD agree that Frontline sucked compared to Rising Sun...

Were they? That was my guess.

And yes I read the whole article from top to bottom before any guesswork thankyou very much. :P

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.

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.
