Not content with simply releasing a game that was kind of a close approximation of being a US Special Operations team member, Electronic Arts went right to the source for Medal of Honor. The developer worked closely with dudes whose faces have to be blurred out in videos to protect their identity, which is a bit unnerving. But hey, videogames.
While neither of these new videos released by EA have any game footage, they do a good job of giving us the sense that EA means serious business when it comes to authenticity.
"Success within a brotherhood is defined as taking care of your brothers, that's the bottom line," says one of the elite operators. "Everybody comes home."
He's talking about multiplayer, right?

I can't even believe they are going through with releasing it. That's how bad it is. It will do nothing but hurt their reputation.
Also the videos above are complete bullshit. I bet even they couldn't take themselves seriously enough that they had to fake a claim that they've met these operators and convinced them to talk random meaningless shit while they film them with expensive staged cameras and add some fake staged afghan footage in between.
Go home, EA.
Fucking EA.
GTFo EA!
....I'm not even going try dissuade any more people who think like that, seems to be WAY too common for me to make any difference in the spread of that thinking.
I mean I'm kinda miffed by the bugs in the beta too, but at least I'm willing to wait until the Beta is over before I make any judgements of what the quality of the retail version could be. And since I'm pretty sure they have professional QA testers, I'm not even sure why they decided to do a public beta in the first place. They would still get the same bugs caught and they don't have to deal with about a gazillion people whining their asses off.
