Bad Company 2 continues its not-so-covert war against Modern Warfare 2 with map pack announcement

2

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!

6

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?

2

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 ...

Coming from a console player no less!  While I think the term "noob" gets thrown around too much by retards who think it's actually something that will offend someone, this is an excellent video on how not to be one in Bad Company 2.  Unfortunately it would appear that MW2 Syndrome has invaded the PC ...

Modern Warfare MMO?

1

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 ...

It is now one month after the release of the most popular polished turd in history.  Since Activision and Infinity Ward are interested in nothing other than numbers, let's take a moment to examine some as they pertain to MW2 on the PC.

Every now and again I'm going to pick apart some game reviews to show how reviewers today, more often than not, are hurting gaming. For this inaugural edition, I'll examine that elephant in the room crapped out by Bobby Kotick and Co. known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Rageometer: 5/5 The PS3 and 360 versions' ...

Rageometer:  (5/5) Ok, so a member of a gaming clan I'm involved in (no, I won't tell you which one) posted this on the clan site today.  For those of you who don't want to take the time to read it (even though it's really short, you lazy bastards), what basically has happened is that Infinity Ward ...
