It's funny, but I feel like that game is more or less responsible for the current military shooter craze. It was more or less like Call of Duty existed to show they could outdo what Metal of Honor pulled off with Allied Assault and then, well, the rest is history.
I agree. If it wasn't for all those studios West & Zampella were involved with, MOH and COD wouldn't be where it's at; and same goes for the entire military FPS genre and those COD/MOH copycats, as well.
This all - reminds me of the overdosage of Doom wannabes and Myst clones in the 90's.
You know, it's funny & circular how West & Zampella at 2015 made MOH:AA w/ EA;
West & Zampella took many of their employees w/ them to found Infinity Ward and created COD for Activision;
and again took many of their employees w/ them and founded Respawn to so do some still unknown shooter for EA again!
Really - I couldn't make that kind of shit up!
