The amount of hardisk it wants does not bother me either - but do me a favour the damn thing should be on one DVD, or rather buying a DVD version should have been a option. Another thing that annoys me about MOH is having to be connected to the net simply to get the single player game up and running; if not then the instant you do your pc dials out and leaves you with a windowed view of the game ... well thats pantz, or was it ghay, as my nephew Jamie opinioned when he came round to see it.
Unfortunatly with games like Quake/Unreal/Half-Life/Deus-Ex etc, the developers are faced with satisfying what the games community asks for. Ever bigger levels, more accurate AI, scripted scenes that push along a story line, with animations made realistic to the nth degree, all of which isn't going to come from nothing and all of which, bar AI routines, means more and bigger graphics - go tell a Windowblinds skinner that they can only use 2 bitmaps using 2 out of 16 colors and they wouldn't exactly create anything interesting to look at would they (someone will create something that proves me wrong), or be able to do the things that they want to do.
Got to admit that MOH is probably the most highly developed 3D FPS that I have bought - the AI is at times astonishingly realistic and true to the way real soldiers act in the battlefield. There are details about the level designs that I could argue over, points and areas in them when I was left thinking that a little more time spent tweaking them would have made a difference, but not so much that they detract from the game itself and the game is one that I found sucks you in and takes you along for a hell of a fun time.
So far as bringing together games that have been in series into one DVD goes, well I think that all comes down to complaining to Activision, EA etc because they do the marketing and not the developers. The only developer with enough clout to swing something like that is id and if id said jump I reckon Activision would do it so quickly.
