Interview with Eric Biessman, multiplayer creative director on Call Of Duty: Ghosts, reveals a fair few... surprises?
Former CEO describes lawsuit filed by Swedish pension fund as a "collateral attack" on Activision Blizzard.
Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."
In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.
To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7
Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite
Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.
But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.
The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:
Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.
They didn't.
Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.
Quality assurance workers at Raven Software, one of the developers of Call of Duty, have officially ratified their first union contract with Microsoft three years after they first unionized.
3 years? That's patience for making a billion dollar company pay you fairly for what you do.
Better than Amazon, which shut down an entire branch in my area because of the new union and their obligation to ratify a contract.
And even the cosmetics leave a lot to be desired when it comes to next-gen. I'm not jumping on the cod=hate bandwagon unecessarily; I've tried liking the game but it just feels so underwhelming. After the departure of West and Zampella, the quality and innovation just came crashing down.
BF4 is a good example of a game that, whilst still being cross-gen, taking advantage of the power of the new consoles by increasing the scale of the game. 64 players with all the vehicles and destruction plus commander mode etc will just be an amazing experience on consoles. It goes beyond mere cosmetic changes.
I hope devs can come up with different ways to play a game, different enemy ai, different genres. Next gen isn't just about better visuals.
Moral of the story - Same COD from the past 6-7 years with some bumpy rocks and N64 fish.
Just what everyone expected.
Ps4 version release date November 29th guess xboxone rumor release date November 28th might be true why would they make PS4 users wait that late :-/
That's because you're doing it wrong Infinity Ward.
