Huge mistake on EA's part. This game is being rushed out the door and I don't blame DICE.
 
DICE is working on Bad Company 2, the Vietnam expansion, and quite possibly Mirrors Edge 2. This should have been handled by Respawn Entertainment instead. 
 
They must have a fucking huge team.

Hmm, Respawn would not want to work on this and you can't force them to since EA doesn't own them, and I think DICE agreed to work on it which makes it their problem.

Maybe, but personally, I would rather have it turn out like what I've played of the beta rather than MW3. "

Dude, if anyone was more eligible for making a Medal Of Honor reboot, it would be the staff members of Respawn Entertainment. Missed opportunity.

I don't have a problem with DICE dealing with this as well. DICE have proved themselves to be an extremely capable group of developers over time, and I feel that they can work with Bad Company 2's Vietnam expansion, as well as with the Medal of Honor multiplayer. I love DICE's online games, because they're almost always well balanced. Yeah, I'll admit there are some weapons I feel are overpowered online, but that's the case with almost every shooter I've played. If DICE are working on Mirror's Edge 2 as well I welcome that, because the franchise desperately needs a sequel. However, I imagine it's their lowest priority, as it's the least major release of the three things they're supposedly working with. 

Post-launch support for one game, an expansion for the same game, and copy-pasting the multiplayer side into an extremely similar game.  I'm sure they've got it covered.
 
Respawn?  Come on.

I think Konami should handle the multiplayer. Make the lead dev the guy who was all whacked out at the E3 conference to do it. 

Why would Respawn want to work on the medal of Honor reboot... when those guys, or some of those guys, worked on the original MoH games, you know the good ones.
 
But yeah it looks like a faster Battlefield game, which is cool and odd at the same time.

I think DICE has like 1000 or so employees.  I see no problem.

*Ehem* 
 
I feel quite comfortable positing that Respawn has not even finished the hiring process, and is nowhere near prepared to begin the full-fledged development of a title.

this Medal Of Honor game was in development long before Respawn Entertainment was even conceived, so it was not even possible to have them work on the game.

Man it's like some of you have dementia or something. Either that or you have 0 idea how games get made.

I think DICE is the right choice for making multiplayer to go along with a game like Medal of Honor (realisticish but fun modern shooter), but they just don't have enough time right now. Push the game back a year or clear DICE's schedule a bit, then things could be properly awesome.

Not even to mention that half the reason they got out of Activision's claw o' doom is because they didn't want to be stuck churning out MW games until the end of time.  I can't say I blame them.

It shouldn't come out this fall. Another stupid move by EA, putting this game out with Halo, Black Ops, and BF: Vietnam. I am confident in saying that MOH will not live up to EA's expectations. 
 
 Yeah, I know Respawn is still in the hiring process, but the multiplayer should have been handled by a different developer.

 
 like respawn would've wanted to work on what is technically a competing product.   
 would they want to help build up a game franchise that will most likely be competing with whatever future product they release?...

I wish DICE would fix the knife in Bad Company 2 before working on anything else because clearly they need all hands on deck to roll back the patch that screwed the knife up in the first place. 
 
EDIT: HALLELUJAH! After 2 months of waiting the patch is finally downloading! I just noticed after writing this post.

" @leftzero101: I should have mentioned that it was the PC version 
o haha ya they fixed it a while ago on 360 didnt no they waited so long for the pc version weird

whatever the case may be, the MP gave me the immediate sense of it being made by DICE and felt almost nothing like MW2, or MOH games. its fucking weird.  
 
it runs like shit right now. i hope they can make it good before it ships

 For me C&C was something of a sacred game and I desperately wanted to do the series justice with all the C&C games I worked on. Unfortunately although we had a very talented team of passionate gamers, EA simply would not give us the time we felt we needed to make a truly great C&C game. In the case of C&C:3 our development cycle was something like 11 months. Compare that to Blizzard or Relic who was spending 3-6 years on their RTS titles. Our longest development cycle was 18 months on RA3, but at that time the team was split in half and added another platform (PS3), so the extra dev time was kind of a wash. EA simply needed us to keep cranking out games to keep the LA studio afloat while many its other teams floundered. 

  I was however at the studio during much of C&C4's development and have played pre-release builds. The important thing to know is that C&C4 was never meant to be a true Tiberium universe canonical game, but rather an experiment in online play. It originally started as out an Asian market online-only version of C&C 3. At some point the company executives decided it made the most business sense to add a single player campaign, call it C&C4, and put it in a box. The team of course protested this change in direction but the decision stood. The team did what they could to make a good game given the realities inside EA, but ultimately it was the product of a dysfunctional corporate culture.
