Yahoo! points out that online language is offensive
Apr 16th
Yahoo! Games has an article up today about the offensive language that many online gamers use when shooting one another and generally causing death and destruction. Lest you think that I’m going to tear the article apart, I will say up front that it actually presents opposing viewpoints and gives them proper weight, and seems [...]
How Modern Warfare 2 fanboys are going to ruin video games
Apr 8th
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 [...]
Bad Company 2 continues its not-so-covert war against Modern Warfare 2 with map pack announcement
Mar 16th
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 [...]
MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!
Mar 15th
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?
Mar 10th
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 [...]
Activision vs. Infinity Ward and the Future of Call of Duty
Mar 3rd
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 [...]
Trouble In Paradise: Activision Ousts At Least One Infinity Ward Boss, Tim Schafer Still Awesome [UPDATED]
Mar 2nd
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 [...]
Good Advice Wrapped in Some Healthy MW2 Hating
Feb 17th
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 [...]
Gamesradar editors don’t know their history…
Feb 12th
Once again, Gamesradar has displayed a complete disregard for gaming history. I find this problem to be very, very odd indeed. On the one hand, their retrospectives and articles on the early days of gaming are usually terrific, and a great throwback for those of us who can remember playing games in the ’90s (and [...]
Modern Warfare MMO?
Jan 9th
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 [...]
