Where is everybody heading? Options

[XYZ Factor]

I am sad to see so many people leaving MOHAA (and OGL) and It irritates when I see the words "MOHAA is dying" in every other post that I read (or at least it seems). But we cannot stop the inevitable. Servers are disappearing and I see fewer and fewer people in xfire playing MOHAA.

I'm going to be looking for a new game and was just curious as to what the majority of our viewers are heading off towards.

Reminder..if COD is your game, MOB has some great COD servers!

The thing about MOH:AA that makes it so great is that it is such an up close and personal game. Small maps, quick spawn times, easy controls, and not necessarily requiring a lot of computer to get involved. It's especially fun when you are playing against your friends and other known players. It's fun to shoot "Stockguy," or "Real Deal," or whomever and see it displayed on your screen, you know, taking some personal satisfaction at their agony. The hacking part is the huge downer about the game. New games are much better protected. I think we all wish they (EA) would just fix MOH, but it doesn't seem they ever will.

I like B2 a lot. That's what I want to play right now. Although it doesn't have the intimacy of the MOH:AA, but it does have small Squads and built in in-game communication assets that could make it really fun and more intimate if we used them right. Right now I'm playing against 32, 40, or 64 people I don't know at all. Therefore, it doesn't have that fun part of shooting someone you know and gloating over it or working with your buds to capture a base. I liked Battlefield Vietnam a lot so I bought a copy for my whole family so I could have some friends to play with. That worked for a short while until everyone stopped playing it.

I think if MOB were to get into B2 then it would make it alot more personal -- then all of our friends would me allies or enemies or fellow squad members and it would be a gas-- like when all of us started playing COD:UO on Casino or Barb -- all of a sudden that made it very cool. Certainly the emergence of Xfire as an acceptable hub for all gamers to meet is helping to cultivate acquaintances into friends on a universal level and giving us a central meeting place to play games with each other instead of strangers.
