Well... my intro to FPS's (not counting Doom played decades ago!Kurokami said:MW2 and Battlefield are connected only in concept (sort of) as far as I know, don't really understand how you made that choice. (Unless of course you mean they're sort of the same and you're getting sick of playing the same game with different 12 year old bitches)
Actually it's been known about quite a while in the Infinity Wars vs. Activision they talk about it.Amphoteric said:Thats right before call of duty 7 is released another call of duty game is announced,but unexpectedly it will not be made by Infinity Ward the creators who made it globally renowned, with Call of Duty; Call of Duty 2 and call of duty Modern Warefare(2), as one of the greatest First person shooter franchises of all time but by a company that has never developed a game before, Sledgehammer games.
I don't know about anybody else but call of duty is 100% dead to me now, I used to love Call of Duty and Infinity ward, I thought they could do no wrong but it seems that they have fallen apart completely. Are we going to get to the stage where several subsidiaries of Activision are going to be queing up to develop the next call of duty. Without IW the next games are going to seem like a joke. If the series ended at Call of duty 4 then that would be acceptable and everyone could move on LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME FRANCHISE but Call of Duty is just to big of a money maker for Activision to let go of it.

I agree with you, If nothing else, this will encourage the evolution of call of duty, and as long as treyarchs there cod will always live.Simalacrum said:Ah yes, the infamous 3rd developer, they popped up a few months ago during the Activion vs. IW debacle and then disappeared again...
Should be interesting to see what they do - who knows? Maybe they'll give the series some much-needed new blood. Until I see what they're work results in, I aint going to write them off.
I mean, look at Rock Steady studios; nobody ever heard of them before Arkham Asylum, and now they're one of the most respected developers around!
What exactly was wrong with BFBC2?Lawyer105 said:I gave up before MW2. Having seen the wreckage that is BFBC2 (for PC anyway - I understand that the console is quite good), I'm starting to move away from Battlefield.
Currently, hope rests on Planetside 2. But it's SOE. So I'm fairly sure it's a vain hope. What to do, what to do...
Then it's not really the same studio is it? Chances are Activision will milk it as long as they can, relying on the popularity of the original to fuel its half-life.JackRyan64 said:Isn't Infinity Ward still technically kicking around though? I know they're dead in spirit since the huge exodus of workers, but isn't there still a different group of people going by the same name?
I agree that CoD 8 will probably be shit and Activision is milking it's franchise. I was simply pointing out that, as an entity, Infinity Ward still technically exists regardless of who's there.DeadlyYellow said:Then it's not really the same studio is it?

You can take a dead celebrity and attach it to strings, but sooner or later people will realize it's only a decaying puppet.
Actually I was trying to make the point that Activision is milking the Developer name. One of the things I see a lot when browsing on CoD topics is how IW is supposedly vastly superior to Treyarch. It's only natural the company would want to try and cash in on that popularity as well.JackRyan64 said:I agree that CoD 8 will probably be shit and Activision is milking it's franchise.
