It's all down hill from here Activition. It is crazy to imagine they topping themselves again after MW2.
2011 Call of Duty May Still Be Infinity Ward's Game

This really sounds confusing in every possible way, at least activision is living up to their new names as badguys in the new console world order. I wonder what the next step is, here's hoping that it involves some Lord Of The Rings style escapades for the various developers.
Another studio making another CoD? I think we might see a repeat of the whole Guitar Hero thing.
If IW doesn't work on a new CoD, it won't sell as well. While not knowing exactly what and how IW does/makes CoD:MW games, it does so to a polish that you can't keep yourself from the game.
I think that instead of trying to crap out a CoD:MW3, they should instead rely on heavy DLC, which would be A)cheaper for consumers, if they make it anywhere from $5-20 (American, dunno convertiting it...sorry) depending on size, and B)could save time by making it DLC rather than a whole new disc. Adding new levels to multi-player, new weapons (or something if possible) and even new story campaigns with the possibility of new protagonists would make the game even better, and again, would be cheaper, so anyone who doesn't own CoD:MW2 could pick the game up and the attachments as well. Hell, even make a CoD:MW2 Super pack that includes a set amount that players can use to download what they want. So multi-based and single-based players can each be happy, and people will stop saying that the story mode is so short

I am still a bit put off after a long day of this, waking up and rolling over to see one of the most influential game studios of this console generation in this situation was a bit of a shock to the senses. Glad it's all kinda simmered down to a gentle boil though. I am kinda interested to see what Sledghammer puts out, although I am worried about the future to the series. I am betting that Infinity Ward will at least lose a few employees over this and at most, crumble entirely. Even if Modern Warfare 3 is still in the hands of IW, it may not be following the same vision of the series.
Which has me torn. I have a Love-Hate Relationship with my copy of MW2. Some days I love the brutal multiplayer, and some days I hate the ridiculous storytelling and bland FPS-ness of it all. Who knows, it may improve, it may suck.
Activision still pisses me off though, the mantle of "Evil Empire" still sits comfortably on their shoulders and will remain there until such time that Bobby Kotick has a mighty revelation and pulls a full EA, turning the publisher from a faceless money-printing machine to an innovative and open publisher willing to fund new ideas. Then again maybe it will never happen but on the bright side then I won't have to find anyone new to hate!

Would be good if Activision kept the reins of CoD in the hands of IW... I mean, they let Harmonix go from the Guitar Hero franchise, and we all know what that led to, eh?
"I bet we'll see Hideo Kojima and Peter Molyneux swordfighting on top of a blimp by the end of the day on Friday."
Hilarious. Unfortunately, the battle would be kind of boring to watch, as Kojima would undoubtedly exposit his complexly plotted moves through the gratuitous use of cut scenes and Molyneux would just sit there waffling about the morality of the entire situation. All the while, the pilot of the blimp would be heading straight for a mountain to get the sound of their tremulous voices out of his head while chanting, "I am for the win! I am for the win!"

Hopefully Modern Warfare 3 will be the last IW developed Call of Duty game. It'd be refreshing to see them create their own brand new IP without Activision butting in.
Good job I wasn't wrong then...you on the other hand...HeyZeus_Ezekiel_Jesus said:
As for the whole "attack" idea, great job on acting the hypocrite as you attack me throughout this post...
First of all using IQ as an indicator of intelligence is moronic at best...
As for the idea it wasn't a good post...well it wasn't relevant, nor interesting, nor well documented in it's sarcastic nature, in fact the sheer fact the poster admitted it was sarcastic (after being called out on it by two different people and later admitting he should've made it clearer...kinda idiotic that you're arguing a point against the person you intended to defend) displays the fact that it's a bad post.
Now you're switching to your own, entirely fictional agenda. I never said anything along these lines and never have.
Judging by your idiotic replies throughout this thread I'd say so much is obvious...
To you maybe, but I guess it's a good job I honestly couldn't care even minutely about your opinion on anything...
You're correct regarding the site, I don't even use it regularly to post anymore...as for VG news, who cares - you should visit a host of different sites if you want VG news. As for your hilarious opinion on myself based on two or three internet forum posts...well all I can say to that is...meh, I posted it above and I'll repeat - I don't care what you think based on an internet personality...
Nice one, that's almost creative as Gears of War 2's superbly named "Grinder" for a monster that says the word "Grind" when he attacks...
Actually it's slightly worse because Dunderscore doesn't even make sense...
Dear God, at this point we can only hope they dont make it into a crappy 2d fighter or a sidescrolling platformer. They should stick to the formula that made some of the games fantastic sellers. While Vietnam is a refreshing change from the blood soaked beaches of WW2, (for the love of god put the idea of returning to that to bed), Call of Duty is a well established franchise and leases its name to a new developer for an "action-adventure game" isnt really a good move on their parT. We can only hope that despite the drain of people, Infinity Ward will be able to make a game to redeem the franchise after this game shits on the Call of Duty name.Distorted Stu said:
...Awww, man, now I'm gonna have to listen to my roommate ***** about shit he won't understand again. Understanding the quality of the games in relation to their dev, that is. Crap...and he goes into whiney ***** mode at the drop of a hat, too.
Wouldn't surprise me, since they did do the localization and dubbing for the series in Japan.Distorted Stu said:
