I was rather skeptical in purchasing MOH: Airborne for PS3, so I decided to wait for a review from here.

It really made me mad to see this: "Airborne isn't a great-looking game, but except for a frequently terrible frame rate, the visuals don't hamper the experience. The frame rate wasn't an issue on the PC or Xbox 360, but the PS3 version will often come to a near standstill when the action gets hectic."

Why can't EA just get it right? Other developers have shown that they can make a solid game for PS3, but time after time - EA screws up PS3 ports. Everything is delayed by them, and they release unfinished garbage. It seems like they are going to do this with their port of the Orange Box too. Make a sketchy frame rate.

It just makes me mad, especially since MOH started on Playstation. The MOH series has turned to garbage.

Just a rant...

I knew Moh was gonna be trash anyway but I'm still getting Orange Box bc it isn't unplayable and too good of a deal to pass up for FPS fans. Anyone who passes orange box up should be ashamed of themselves as gamers bc it is still a great collection and the previews noted that the framerate issues aren't as bad as 1up made them seem with their "unplayable" and "slideshow" comments. 1up even retracted that with their last preview. Go read ign, destroids, or kotuku's preview to see. the main reason ppl are passing on orange box is bc gabe is a fat d0ucheb@g who hates the ps3. If it doesn't sell on ps3 bc it is slighty inferior then Valve won't care in the future for ps3 games or development. A gamer who won't pick up orange box for ps3 if they have no other options is an arrogant fool bc minor issues. Who cares about slight framerate issues that don't hinder the gameplay? you owe it to yourself to pick this game up. It won't detrach from the fun factor if the 360 version gets 5fps better.

EA is a great big fat average... everything they touch turns to slightly above mediocre.. everything have you seen the new screenies of race-driver.. why the heck couldn't n4s prostreet look like that. don't tell me they lack the resources or manpower. ps3 development will always suffer not lead platforms never get the "A" teams .. heck even the "A" teams aren't set up to produce anything of real consequence .. in short they've sucked since ps1 get enough games out there some are due not to be dire turds such as ssx which then went downhill and turned ...average

CoD4 and Dirt actually are both really good on the PS3, maybe even better.

If you want to play EA games then get an Xbox.

If you have a PS3 then it's best to stay away from EA.

Because EA and some other devs don't take the time to learn PS3 programming. It is different from PC and 360 and most devs are too lazy. All they have to do is distribute the game over the 7 SPEs instead of 3 cores.

Calling devs lazy is really, rather silly to say unwilling to devote resources.. yeah sure, but lazy, of course. saying "all you have to do is distribute the game over 7 spes " well don't you think thats a lazy statement, you've obviously not read up on you geekieness. compartmentalization ... is killing EA not laziness.

not speaking for the other guy but when he mentioned multiport titles, I think he was mainly refering to EA's titles..smarty pants.

that's why I never buy anything from EA unless it's developed specifically on the PS3. EA is grabage. If other companies can get perfect running games on the PS3 then they should too. I think they should buy their engine from Naughty Dog or Insomniac. they probably have the worst developers, but they are the biggest gaming publishers though, so it hurts to see them do that.

The only EA games that I have an interest in are: Rock Band, Army of Two, and Burnout Paradise.

It's pretty hard to screw up a rhythm game. Army of Two and Burnout Paradise are being developed on the PS3 first and then being ported over to 360.

So I mean things could be worse...

Has ne1 here actually played the PS3 version of Airborne? IGN's review said there was hardly any slowdown at all especially during gunfights. They said it was most noticeable while parachuting into the level. So if that's true i think its still worth a purchase. So can ne1 say who's right Gamespot or IGN? Who's actually played this game for PS3?

The PS3 still had slowdown on some parts no matter what. The 360 version did not. The PC version did not.

I am just commenting about EA shipping out an unfinished game. If I am gonna pay for a game, I want to have 0 problems like that. Especially since it's called airborne, and the framerate slows down on all the 'airborne' parts.

Well that stinks and it does suck to see what happened to a series which had such great games like the original MOH on the PS1 and Frontline

Instead of you guys whining about how EA is bad company, why dont you guys actually do something about it and report them to Better Business Bureu (BBB) seriously u guys have to take action if you want them to improve. They already have complaints, the more complaints they get the more they will actually listen and make the company look bad.

umm... gee lemmie think.... how would one word said complaint to the bbb... EA doesn't port titles over to my console of choice to my liking.. sure they still work and technically there's nothing really wrong with them. I mean they boot up!! No, my house hasn't burnt down.. and they're not made with massive doses of lead... oh but they are notoriously horrible to work for... yeah, that might be the ticket I'll call and tell them they hurt my feelings and they stink when they've been outside for more than 20 minutes.. YEAH brilliant.

EA just doesn't think that the ps3 has enough players to justify the investment for doing a good complete port. If nobody bought these crap ports EA would start to lose money and would do either of the following: impove the quality of their ports or don't make any ports for the ps3 at all. It's simple capitalism, if a product is worse than other and the company that makes said product keeps making products of the same bad quality such company doesn't deserve to have their products bought.

WOW. Congratulations you completely missed the point of my post. If you look properlythe person I quoted was saying that there wheren't any good non-exclusive games on the PS3. The games I listed are considored (by most) to be good non-exclusive games available for the PS3!!

Medal of Honor came out already? I thought it was coming out next year. :P

I was highly anticipating this game, but I guess it sucked.

I just hope the reason why they delayed ARMY OF TWO is to improve the game:D

I also wish they spend more time on polishing things rather then throwing outlots ofnot finished games.:evil:

Why take fight night out of the list, I happen to really enjoy that game. One of the only real EA ports that I like on both systems and thing they look way too close to notice a difference. Both run well too.

I've essentially given up on EA. The only EA games that I like anymore are the NHL ones. The Medal of Honor series went downhill as soon as (if not before) Heroes was released.

The only upcoming EA games I care about are Orange Box (how can any one f*** this awesome collection, not even ea can screw it up that bad can they?) and Dead Space (looks cool now and I'm a fan of the event horizon influence and space horror, but this is EA so they could f* it up). All EA sports games outside of Nhl are utter crap and a waste of money. Anyone wanna bet on EA porting Mass Effect and making the issues worse?

Why can't all of the companies come up with a solid port for their games...I mean, Bethesda for exmaple, did an excellent job with Oblivion. In fact, they even made use of the PS3's power -- making the game perform much better.

EA is going to keep releasing half-assed titles, Why? Because people keep ****ing buying their crap. Why bother improving if people consistenly buy their products. Saves EA money and generates money all in one sadistic business approach. I take my own action towards them, its called boycott. haven't purchased an EA title for four years. I just don't buy garbage.
