history, my friend. history.

The last Medal of Honor wasn't even that bad. It was fun. I only played the single player, and although it was short I liked the theme of "fight todays war"

The single player was good but multiplayer not so much

 

[MxPhenom 216]

who cares. Not every game needs to have a multiplayer that is good or at all.

 

[brandonwh64]

You are right, I do miss the days when multiplayer was not the focal point.

 

[dude12564]

I suppose you can still find some ... but rarely D:

Anno 2070 is mostly SP, with limited MP.

 

[MxPhenom 216]

I have a friend who says that games are pointless without multiplayer. Which is so wrong because there are so many games out there that are so good, that don't have multiplayer and don't need it. For instance Half Life 2

hey, that list, Brandon, is unbearable, have another beer! entering into detail is way offtopic, but a beer is ok and spot on! Just one thing....other countries also do international/UN missions

 

[DannibusX]

Hey, that's cool. Any time a huge corporation like EA volunteers to give some of their profits away to charity is a good thing. Who cares how good or how shitty the game is? Who really give a fuck about this being purely a PR move on their part? They are breaking north with what will likely be a large chunk of money for a good cause. Sure, it's a combination PR/tax write off move, but the money is going to help deployed, injured or returning troops.

They are and were fighting a war in another country, whether they wanted to be there or not. For that they have my eternal respect.

You can bash my nation all you want to, I don't care. For all the bad that you perceive my nation as doing, my nation is by far the most charitable country on this very planet. Hell, we're the most charitable nation in the solar system.

I think your full of shit personally. You sit here and bash a country and the people that defend it as if you know everything that goes on. You sir need to learn some history.
