Medal of Honor series in trouble says Gearbox prez

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford recently told press that the once successful Medal of Honor franchise is now "in trouble."
Wow. Imagine that!
Pitchford began to criticize the franchise stating "I think they're confused right now. They're partially speaking not as a dedicated World War II game, but just as a game.
"I think if you're going to just make a shooter, there's other subject matter you can pick that give them more flexibility to do the kinds of things they've been wishing to do. Like upgrading weapons and things like that? That just doesn't belong in an authentic war game."
It's one of the risks you run for jumping on the World War II bandwagon. Medal of Honor is in no way trapped; look at the direction the Call of Duty franchise went. Anyone want to bet Medal of Honor will follow suit to stay alive?

i wont bet, i will guarantee, or maybe go to different wars. "MEdal Of honor: Custers' Last stand" lol.
well they have to branch out to compete with cod but its sorta a shame because i grew up on metal of honor
or maybe Medal of Honor: Star Wars. No wait, that's already been done...
I like the direction that COD has gone, I don't see a real problem with it.
MOH: Caesar anyone? Really though, change is good once in a while...and they still give Medals of Honor in modern wars.
As long as it doesn't get a second The Sims...
I enjoy the MOH games. Excpet Airborne! What the fuck are those guys who fire a FUCKING MG42 from the hip!! They also take around 20 rounds to the face to kill.
