Medal of Honor: Warfighter ... more like sales fighter ... oh god I need better jokes.

After about four months of miserable sales EA has finally admitted that Warfighter was a complete flop. The Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore had publicly announced that EA will be taking the "Medal of Honor franchise off the shelves" for their development team. So basically what that means is one less modern shooter that does the same boring thing all modern shooters have been doing for the passed few years.

Now instead of admitting that trying to milk along another modern shooter franchise was simply a bad idea, EA's Chief Creative Director John Hillman told gaming website Rock, Paper, Shotgun this.

"We don’t think it’s a genre problem. It's an execution problem," Hilleman said. "We don’t think Medal of Honor’s performance speaks to any particular bias in that space against modern settings or World War II or any of that. It's much more that we had some things we should've done better. I think a key part of this is having the right amount of high-quality production talent,” he added. “And we didn’t have the quality of leadership we needed to make Medal of Honor great. We just have to get the leadership aligned.”

Now here's where I call bullshit. For one, the only modern shooter that I have recently played was Spec Ops: The Line. It took what people like about shooters and gave it an amazing narrative not usual "America is great kill the people who aren't white." But besides that lets look at some other titles that the EA dev teams have/where working on: Plants Versus Zombies for the Windows Phones, Mirrors Edge for the Windows Phone, Sims 3 expansions, Scrabble for the iPhone, Battlefield 3: Close Quarters, Battlefield 3: Armored Kill, Battlefield 3: Aftermath, Battlefield 3: End game, Need for Speed for every tablet and phone along with some more phone and ipad games.

Now EA can blame this game doing horrible on whatever they want. But when they have a modern shooter series that is already doing well, sort of, and they are going to try to compete with it AND have the same people work on the DLC for the other game too, things may get a bit hectic and bad. 

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go practice for when EA releases Bejeweled 3 ... or are they working on 4 now? I don't know, but I know they aren't working on Medal of Honor.
