Yeah, and MW2 only sold well since COD4 sold well which was because of COD3 which was because of COD2 which was because of COD1 which was because of Medal of Honor Allied Assault which was because of Medal of Honor 1 which was because of Goldeneye.....I forgot what my point was but it is somewhere....How about Goldeneye was awesome.duchaked said:
It -was- quite awesome, yes, and it was called "BLACK OPS". Infinity Ward did a decent job with the MW singleplayer story I'll admit, and I was an especially big fan of the first Modern Warfare (COD4) - but they can't make compelling multiplayer worth jack shit, pardon my language.Greg Tito said:
Treyarch should be given control of the entire franchise in my opinion. Opinions differ from player to player obviously, but so far I've enjoyed Treyarch's Call of Duty games far more than IW's and so have the other guys in my FPS-game circle (All whom are currently playing Black Ops, shockingly). The zombiemod in particular was such an amazing and clever addition in World at War and now in Black Ops that Treyarch is gonna have to hire Kotick for their PR department before I seriously start questioning their methods or doubting whether or not I should buy the next release.
TLDR version:
When half of Infinity Ward walked out on you earlier, Activision, your claims of "things being fine" now are hard to take seriously.
I don't even know why i clicked on this article. X-P
There are goodm studios making good games, somewhere inside the whole Activision Mess (i really like BLUR) the thing is that everyhing else is just bullshit.
BLUR was barely out then there already existed hearsay (i know i know) that they would let BLUR 2 get made by another studio.
And then this: They keep on supporting The Tony Hawk Games, a Gameseries that had been dragging in the Dirt FOR AGES, he same dirt that is the last games quality.
But they are gutting the BLUR guys, an awesome game in quality and execution with mediocre salesnumbers, a absoluely good and compelling game experience.
And Tony Hawk sold only in the thousands, a FUCKING DISASTER!
WHAT THE FUCK?!

"This year's game"
Urgh, that really just makes it sound worse... You don't have to advertise that we're paying for new guns and maps on a yearly basis....

I never knew "restructuring" was a synonym for "lobotomy", Activision has some really good spin doctors on hand.
Agreed. When the controversy first appeared, I just thought to myself, "Those poor bastards..." at the time, MW2 had sold something like over a million copies in the first week. And they don't get a cent of the bonus? Now that everything's good, I just hope that West and Zampella have a scheme for revenge.EcksTeaSea said:
Am I the only one who is done with the Call of Duty series? Pretty sure Black Ops is gonna be my last.
