Yes, let's stop developing a somewhat original idea in favour of another sandy, muddy generic army shooter.

It's not like EA doesn't have billions of dollars. They could easily afford to finish Mirrors Edge 2, even if it just became a download only title.

I really wish this army shooter bubble would just burst already. How many times can you pay $60/£40 for a "new" game about being a US soldier running through the middle east, shooting people before you realise "Hang on...I've played a game just like this before. 16 times in the last 5 years!" ?

If it's not a US army man running through the middle east, it's a US space marine running through another world that looks like ours but painted a greeny-blue. If the developers are feeling really wild they'll throw a jungle style area in the game.

I couldn't even look at Red Faction Guerilla after finishing the story because the sight of the bland browny red world had gotten so face-cuttingly dull. The gameplay and story was good but an eviroment like that just put me off eventually. No idea how anyone can play brown/grey shooters over and over and over again and not get sick of the sight of them.
