hmm, thread removed
Thats kinda weird, whats up with freedom of information? lol
hearing of that brought me back to this site, kinda forgot about it, been hangin out with NASCAR league buddies.
we need more Good people like the ones who stuck with MCO and the place for em to come together in the way they did with MCO.
Take care all!
i was not able to logon, but now i can, kinda a quirk with their site.
Laters!

Yep, I agree. He's one of many who would do anything to get MCO back. I just hope he didn't get into any serious trouble. It's not too often a corporate employee reaches out to the community. That guy's a saint in my book 8-)RadCap wrote:My guess is he got in some pretty deep trouble from his superiors. That guy was really devoted to the cause, and it seemed he would do anything to get MCO happening again.
Hopefully, he's working on it from the inside now.

I don't doubt the wisdom of your statement, Sir. I'm just amazed at how EA seems (at least IMHO) to keep and eye on us "ex-mcoer's". They picked that EAGUY so fast it was as if they monitor this board regularly....like we're a threat or something heheheh.Gigman wrote:Sometimes its not smart to let out corporate plans of upcomming projects or to open up fesstering wounds.texis wrote:So either EA execs read this board or someone "ratted" him out?

Ok, enough conspiracy theorizing from me, back to the day job working for the C.I.A. -Disinformation and Smear Campaign Department 8-)

From what I saw I think its more likely they simply followed it here. Didn't the guy actually start the post to get people to go the needforspeed forums and comment? someone probobly said something over there about our site and then the EA guys popped in like "OMFG Thier on to us!".
Who knows. The important thing is that we all learned something from this... Don't talk about EA or thier games or thier flying monkeys will descend on you and try to eat your brains.

I don't remember him saying this was in the plans. I kinda remember he was fishing for info that he could take and plead his case for an MCO type game.Gigman wrote:Sometimes its not smart to let out corporate plans of upcomming projects or to open up fesstering wounds.texis wrote:So either EA execs read this board or someone "ratted" him out?

BF2 looks good. Battlefield 3 (IRAQ?) might be good. I'm probably not going to buy most wanted. i'll play the demo and see how dumb it is then go back to bf42.67GP wrote:eh at this point im ready to wait and watch to see if ea is going to satisfy us. if not then U2 will most definatly be the last Ea game i will ever purchase

LT is right. An honest effort was put forth by the team over at route66online.net. This was the place where the community needed to step up with the skills needed to make it happen. Unfortunately, it was just a pipe dream.
There was also an effort to bring MCO back. A petition was started and ended up with over 2500 signatures. Unfortunatley, nothing came of it.
There were also serious offers to buy MCO, but EA held their ground.
So believe me when I say, the community tried.

I would imagine it hasn't gone unnoticed. In fact, I just had a peek over at the official forums for Most Wanted, and it seems that Smoothie has actually conceeded some ground. He actually said they were listening.
Whether or not anything is going to come of it - who knows. I'll remain optomistic though
