Activision brings in the Dead Space leaders to make more Call of Duty games.

So activision is turning the CoD series into Battlefield?

Here’s a protip: unlock the dedicated servers you already coded into the game and sales will instantly spike.

mw2 works?

 

that game has been the biggest disappointment since finding out santa isn’t real

Blasphemy.

I like the old school CoD personally … vCoD, UO, and 2

I know some people do, but I really don’t like the leveling.. it’s the only thing that made me keep playing mw and waw though.. until i found a leveling server on waw .. lol i got to level 65 will full prestige of 10 in about a week.. haven’t played it since

First of all, there was NOTHING wrong with World at War. Treyarch made a great game in world at war, and I have the authority to say that because I’ve been playing CoD games since they were Wolfenstein (Lets get real, RTCW is the same engine, models, look and feel of COD1). The single player was epic of CoD caliber, the multiplayer was balanced, it had dedicated servers, had all the WW2 weapons you could want, the graphics kicked *edited*, and it brought us nazi zombies. The main reason people say it was bad is because of the WW2 aspect and them getting tired of WW2. Lets also not forget, WaW brought the PC users Prestige mode for the first time. Your opinion, not fact. In reality, there was no real flaws in WaW (at least not enough to make people bash it like they do). Now, did it have the fun factor that CoD2 did for a WW2 game? No, but that’s like how GTA San Andreas didn’t have the feel of Vice City. COD2 was all about skill. No perks, everyone had to deal with set classes, and that was okay. *edited* has evolved. It got boring for some. (Although Bolt action rifles will never measure to how kickass they were in CoD2).

 

Secondly, MW2 is a fantastic game. It really is, and people need to give up comparing it to battlefield BC2. I own both, and they are a totally different style of game. The only thing holding MW2 back from being perfection (in my eyes) was the lack of dedicated servers, and the addition of Tactical Nuke. It turned alot of fun players into people who go for nukes and rage when they fail. Heartbeat sensors should have never been considered for multiplayer either…but what are you gonna do.

 

Again, don’t talk *edited* about Treyarch.

Perks and ww2 don’t mix… once they take the skill out of the game… it sucks. People played the WW2 for the competitive nature. Leagues, scrims etc. Once it’s dumbed down it sucks. That’s why WAW is a bad game. They took a good thing and nubbed it out. Same reason I didn’t like UO. Sure it made the game more interesting but it did it with a lot of bloat… artillery and things like that ruin the competitive nature of the game. vCoD and CoD2 are my two favorites. At least with UO you could decently remove some of the crap and it remained competitive .. plus it introduced CTF so I’d have to put that in the top 3 CoD as well.

All in all.. IMO Treyarch takes a good thing.. bloats it up.. makes it run worse and packages it as another CoD.. That’s why i don’t like treyarch

PS. I’ve been playing CoD just as long if not more than you have Raven

The MP40? Really? Give me an MP44, Thompson, or Sten and I’ll kick ANY MP40 *edited*s *edited*. Hell, give me a Kar98k and I’ll kick his *edited* from a mile away. I played CoD2 since its release (still do), and I have never seen any balance issues. It was the perfect WW2 experience.

in WaW?

Oh it just keeps getting better!

West & Zampella file lawsuit against Activision

Quote:

Modern Warfare 2 co-creators Jason West and Vince Zampella, fired for alleged insubordination on Tuesday in a surprise move that shocked the entire industry, filed a strongly worded lawsuit with a California court today.

 

The filing described Activision as demonstrating “astonishing arrogance and unbridled greed,” and accuses the company of terminating the pair in order to avoid paying them “substantial” royalties from last year’s Modern Warfare 2 release, heralded as the biggest launch in entertainment history.

 

“Instead of thinking, lauding, or just plain paying Messers. West and Zampella for giving Activision the most successful entertainment product ever offered to the public,” the filing says, “last month Activision hired lawyers to conduct a pretextual ‘investigation’ into unstated and unsubstantiated charges of ‘insubordination’ and ‘breach of fiduciary duty.'”

Ah yes. I heard of that event a while ago. I’m interested in how it plays out. I’m not a terribly big fan but i wouldn’t mind seeing someone sweat XD. I doubt anything will truly be accomplished. They will either get a little money or the situation will disappear.
