EA Slings More Mud at Activision
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
Let's look at this in terms of their games' noteworthy features:
EA's BF3: Vehicles, destructible environments, new engine, huge multiplayer battles
Activision's CoD: 60fps
I think the assumption that Activision is more worried about their sales than fair play is a fairly safe one. Then again, I don't work for Activision, so I wouldn't know for sure, and I don't want to assume more than I already have.
All the same, I don't like that this is the image people get when they look at game developers.
...
So, when is Extra Credits gonna start releasing games?

Oh yeah, and EA totally doesn't do that like Activision does. Both these companies are pretty ridiculous.Dirand said:
I like how Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk was brought up, "try finding these titles in stores". Uh yeah, both those games have released 10? 12 games each, and not all that recently. 0 points awarded for that part of the argument.
Idk why people get worked up over this. 60 percent of people who buy games are going to buy COD because.. I'm not sure why anybody still buys those games. and another 60 percent of are going to buy BF3, (some people bought both) so what's the trash talking for? Attention I'm sure.
My urge to buy a copy of MW3 even though I don't particularly care about either MW3 or BF3 just to spite EA for being such massive dicks is rising at an alarming rate these days.
It's very simple: They aren't EA. EA is the bottom of the barrel, the most evil of all the evil. Even if Activision is the second most evil, they still look like a cute little kitten compared to EA.AzrealMaximillion said:
Yeah, I remember that they had Sims 3 and all the expansions on sale in a bundle during the Steam Summer Sale. It was still at some ridiculously insane price that I think was somewhere around $100 if not more despite the huge discount because of how many damned expansions there were.Blablahb said:
Battlefield 3= every other battlefield game with better graphics
COD MW3= every other COD game, but I am intreeged to find out what happens to soap.
Activision has my money/rent there.

Well this pretty much settles it for me. Im going to buy Modern Warfare 3 five times and then im going to pirate Battlefield 3 five times just to spite EA.
First of all these are the publishers not the developers. It's not like either of these guys are working on the games. All they care about are sales and marketing so I wouldn't consider either of them representatives of the game.
It's not like this Jeff Brown guy says this shit and then runs to office to punch up code or design more exciting game elements to make "his" game better than CoD. He says this shit and then gets a bonus for creating controversy that might sell more copies of the game.

Although I do like that Hirschberg took the more mature route, but... if the guys from EA went on stage, and just said "Hirschberg, we have on thing to say to you: YOUR MOTHER!" and then walked off, I would still probably stand behind them. Not because I love their games, god no, a lot of their games suck, but because I want to see Activision shot down as much as possible. They haven't made a good game in years, and will just keep making the same shit they make every year, which is another Call of Duty game that is exactly like the last one and some small game that they can say is "from the makers of Call of Duty" even though it's terrible. So, yeah, keep up the dick moves, EA.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! In your dreams maybe, EA.
Seriously though, if EA actually has a PR department it's well past time for them to get their shit together. These guys are starting to sound like the Enron chiefs just before the sky fell.
due to the Escapist magazine being in the recent forbs list of websites i think EA and activition will be patrolling the forums so
to EA:
i will be too mentally traumatized by Dark souls to give a damn about your game. also on release in the same month Arkham City, the darkness, and Rage
To Activition:
still mentally traumatized by Dark souls, and skyrim is coming out at the same month enough said, but to any one that requires more then that: Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception, Assassins Creed Revelations, Halo: Combat Evolved: Anniversary
how was that?

And yet Activision is trying to end the MW3 and BF3 war.
EA is looking more like a douche in my opinion though. And at this rate Battlefield 3 may turn into the next Call of Duty.
