Didn't they leave EA because Medal of Honour got ruined? Why go back to them now?

Respawn Entertainment? How original. Durrrrr.

I also wonder how will it effect the legal battle.

AFFECT. YOU MEAN AFFECT.

*breathes*

The difference? I looked it up once except it's very confusing.

On topic. Good luck to them. I hope they bring out the next COD that makes all others FPS games look like haze. Just to rub it in Activision's face and make them think "shit, we should have kept them".

Didn't they originally leave EA after being screwed on Medal of Honor Allied Assault....yeah the guys who first created Call of Duty were the main team from Medal of Honor AA (or I think so).
meh, that was way back in the day....and you know what I like EA now better than Activision......although I am still sad bout Pandemic getting the axe (I want my Mercenaries back)
Either way, cool name, new(ish) publisher (it's like coming back home to a home cooked meal and hugs after running away), I see good things (and hopefully AWESOME games)

It is quite confusing. In this context, 'effect' would mean something similar to 'start' or 'make happen' whereas 'affect' would mean 'make some difference to'.

I hate the English language sometimes. so many "there's" and "where's", I should know this stuff but comon, it's ludicrous.

Ill just stick with "to", "there" and "were", if I get it wrong I don't care, it's semantics in the end. The sentence isn't illegible, just grammatically incorrect.

Sorry for going off topic.

On the lawsuit between Activision and those two, EA stayed quiet. Jeff Brown said:-

"We don't have the time to comment on the many lawsuits Activision files against its employees and creative partners,"

Nice and impartial there.

Nice and impartial?! In other words it sounds to me as "Since they sue their employees so many times, we dont have enough time to comment on the lawsuits." So more on the bitter sarcasm side, that can also be translated as "We dont even care to comment, those guys at Activision are paranoic."

Yep. I was the one being sarcastic.

I used to dislike the monster that was EA, it now seems fairly benevolent compared to Activisions excesses (Bobby Kotick etc) and Ubisoft with their DRM. They also got some brownie points for suing Langdell.
