Acti/IW scandal
http://kotaku.com/5483492/scandal-hi...yline=true&s=i
What is going on?! And also, possible hints at a subscription route and an action-adventure CoD in 2011? It really seems like Activision want to milk the heck out of CoD... Anyways, less about that and more about what's happened with the two guys fired from IW... |
Wow.. Its all going on at the moment! I would much rather see them leave the Call of Duty series where it is than start subscriptions and ruin the game.
|
I hope they don't take IW off the COD series all together...that would be pure stupidity.
|
Whether IW is staying or not, I do have a feeling they're going to be a different company with those two individuals no longer working there...

Sounds to me like Activision just threw away a billion dollar brand.
|
If it's true then yeah, I've lost respect for Activision. It's a shame to see something like this happen after all of the great games they have released over the years.
|
There is a 3 page write up on GI that talks about the papers filed in the suit. There was a memorandum of understanding signed by activision and infinity ward.
While this document wasn't released, it is believed that in it Activision gave infinity ward full rights to any COD game that would take place after vietnam. My take is this does allows activsion to make COD titles through treyarch still as long as they do not run in to vietnam-modern era. Copyrights prevent infinity ward from using Call of Duty in their titles, but my take is that they can make a sequel to COD6 and just call it Modern Warfare 3. |
:*( thats really sad, i loved the Mechwarrior series, Cod Series, exc. but this???? This is a waist of Activisions time.
|
Any recent news Chris?

Analysts/professionals discuss what's happening:
http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/107/1074839p1.html Given Vince and Jason's track record for CoD, I reckon if they were to start their own company, it'd attract the attention of not only their former colleagues at IW but also lots of publishers. Anyways, from what I read in the lawsuit, IW seemed somewhat interested in doing new IPs. It makes me wonder... :) |
will thats sucks, i hear how much people love the game and them two gone!
have to wait and see how things turn out in the next line up when its release! will it be super great or will it fall on its face into history. players are the best judge of a game's, word goes faster then the adverts do |
Infinity Ward will definitely keep producing quality games - I don't know about the other companies though.

Lead engineer and lead MP designer leaves... I think in terms of poking the finger at Activision it's a good thing. I wonder if these guys will start a really kickass IP? And I think the lawsuit thing's happening in June... |
