Repent: I agree with Activision! The end must be nigh!
2418 days
Before anyone gets too worried, I still loathe Activision, Bobby "Prince Douche" Kotick*, and all that they stand for. So what, you ask, could anyone from that money-grubbing, cash cow-milking, innovation-stifling, industry-stagnating, shovelware factory of a company have to say that I might agree with? It starts with this commercial for Call of Duty: Black ...
CoD: Black Ops gives us dedicated servers… with conditions.

As I was perusing Kotaku I came upon an article regarding the dedicated server situation for COD: Black Ops. Seeing that the article came from IGN originally, I jumped over there to take a look at the entire post. Now, it's no secret that The Angry Three are no fans of MW2's complete lack of ...

Apparently, 2.5 million people purchased that stupid map pack for MW2. That's right, Activision has made over $37 million already for 5 new maps that should probably have been free. At the very least, the two remakes should have been because I'm pretty sure the game engine used in Modern Warfare 2 is only an ...

DICE have taken every opportunity to capitalize on the mistakes made by Activision and Infinity Ward with regard to Modern Warfare 2. From their timely announcement that Bad Company 2 would be using dedicated servers right down to the language on the game's info page (emphasis mine): All of [Bad Company 2's] features combine to deliver ...
MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!
6694 days
This goes along with my article from last week. In that article, I discussed Modern Warfare 2's apparent failure to keep the player base occupied and coming back for more as time goes on. Well, Infinity Ward was concerned that such a thing was either going to happen or happening already, because they will soon ...
Modern Warfare 2: How many players?
2699 days
Tom's Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert. Tom's reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users. Yes folks, 25 million. The subtitle for this little gem of a mini-article is "Modern Warfare 2 is the major game for online gamers." First off, don't ...

Yesterday, it was reported that Infinity Ward's CEO and CTO (Vince Zampella and Jason West, respectively) left the company under fairly unclear circumstances. All we knew was the following: Activision's human resources department had concluded an investigation into claims of "breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward" and that the result ...

Rumors are flying about some serious drama going down between Activision and prized developer Infinity Ward. Beginning with a post from G4's news outlet The Feed, it appeared as though nobody at Infinity Ward had seen or heard from studio heads Vince Zampella (CEO) and Jason West (CTO) since a meeting with Activision that took place ...

“All my life, I’ve been the rebel in the X-wing fighter, and then one morning I woke up and I was on board the Death Star." -- Bobby Kotick, speaking at the DICE Summit 2010 in Las Vegas Excuse me? This douchebag took the stage at the DICE Summit and started spewing bullshit in an attempt, as Wired ...
Modern Warfare MMO?
1759 days
Over on Tom's Hardware I came across this article that Infinity Ward might (and I stress the "might" heavily) be making some sort of Modern Warfare MMO instead of Modern Warfare 3. Though the author, Marcus Yam, discounts the rumor mostly because he doesn't think they won't drop a potentially lucrative MW3, I have to disagree. We ...
