Stop the whining

[[SKC]Madman]

Im not a Ea fanboy at all, but im seeing alot of slamming torward the developers of MOHPA, and its wrong and misplaced frustration.
Be angry at EA not the development teams of MOHPA.

We all know that the team loves games as much as we do and and took a unprecedented step forward within the ea structure to gather real community feedback during the developmental phases of the game, even flying community members to get realtime feedback, to make the game what we wanted and needed for the next phase of the MOH franchise..

The developers in ea are under tremoundous pressure and cruchtime guidelines for releases. behind the scenes EALA have worked 60 -80 hours a week and alot of overtime is not compensated. for a little more background to to inner workings of being a Ea employee Read This.

Im personaly impressed with MOHPA it is very solid and very fun, we have more control options as server admins than ever seen in almost any title released to run the servers at individual tastes in every aspect rather than to be boxed in with preset options that would normaly need a modder to bust open.

We are on a threshold of a new gaming evolution with new technologies being developed and incorporated at pace not seen before in years past.
With these new technologies come new system requirements that must be met for optimum performance of gameplay, that alot of gamers refuse to upgrade to meet these requirements and agnolage that just becuase your rig runs fine on a game that is year old doesnt mean it meets the requirements for a new title.

Here are my system specs from my homebuilt rig and i have no problems at all on the client side with MOHPA.

CPU: AMD AthlonXP 3200+ 400Mkz Fsb (Barton Core)

Chipset: NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400

Mobo: EPoX EP-8RDA3i

OS: Windows XP Home Sp2 & Dx 9.0c

RAM: 1 Gig of PC3200 Geil Ultra X Dual Channel

Video: BFG 6800GT OC 256 DDR3

Audio: SoundBlaster 128

As with any title there are going to be unforseen bugs that pop up, this is not console gaming guys where all the specs are the same across the board. Pc gamers specs are so widespread and different we need to understand that this is part of the process. But we already know that the team is working on them and making sure the patch release is solid.

My only complaints are from the server admins side, the large upload of server files (which is ea's choice not the developers choice). A few nonworking cvars, the cpu resource lockdown and spawn hitching.

It just pisses me off to see all the whining and bitching from spoiled people pointing the finger at the EALA development team. For the minor problems that are seen with any release and cry this game sucks.

I say bravo to EALA for their communication and dedication to the title and the community. Everyone needs to learn to be patience and support the community and the game. and stop whining and acting like spoiled children.

Long Live MOHPA.............

I agree with you, there have been alot of whiners. I just havent seen them here. The EA message boards are certainly full of them though.

The whiners will always be there.

First they complain because they dont have the game when they want it. Then they complain because its not the game they were expecting. Then they complain about the patch they want. Its a vicious cycle.

Every gaming community should learn from the UBI Soft/Crytek FarCry patch fiasco.

Have you ever heard of a patch being recalled?

The masses whined so much that a much needed patch was released prematurely without full testing. Two days after its release the patch was recalled. All the public UBI servers ran the 1.1 version while most of the clan servers ran the 1.2 recalled patch which divided the community. Most of my clan mates had to install two versions of the game on their systems so they could play the version the matches were being held on. All gaming ladders were ceased and speculation ran high.

EA has done a great job with PA. Server side tools, MDK (soon), great SP game with fantastic soundtrack, i could go on and on.

First let me say that I appreciate the level of maturity here on MOHadmin.com and that goes for codadmin.com as well.

However, I will not silence anyone who complains, even when it get close to being a little overboard, Kevin357 ;) . EA and it's developers are very professional and can handle the criticism. I was very vocal when the MOHteam first started and was never criticized or blacklisted by EA for my comments, they welcomed them.

I do not want to turn MOHadmin into a fanboy site where people who paid for a game can not complain about reasonable issues.

Where here for the community!

Good points guys.

I was dissapointed when I played MP for the first time but I never whined up a storm about it. I think EA did a great job on getting the patch out to resolve some of the bigger issues with the game and also an even better job getting that patch out this week. I am looking forward to the usual one or two more that will follow with possibly new maps skins etc. I just hope the rest of the people feel the same way.

I dont think anyone should blame the developers for the bugs in the game or stuff that we feel wasnt completed simply because they dont call the shots, the corporate office bean counters do and with any company the head office people only see money as the objective not good gameplay. EA has however done a great job taking the mohteam and immersing them in the process and that I think will pay off big time when the mods start rolling out.

Theres a BIG difference between those that criticize yet take the effort to correct the problems and those that only criticize. I applaud the admins that come here and work to solve issues rather than simply bash and flame.
The steps EA took with PA were a beginning, though it was not perfect they did respond to the community and this should continue to improve as PA goes on.
