"Activision's E3 2007 press conference was full of interesting announcements. There's a chance, however, that you don't remember many of those announcements. In fact, there's a huge chance that the only parts of Activision's conference you remember is the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare part and the host Jamie Kennedy intoxicated.
Kennedy was all over the place, literally. Stumbling around the stage looking for the teleprompter that was in-front of him the whole time, Kennedy's poor choice of jokes, awkward moments, being called out by the audience, and even made fun of by one of the developers on stage, Activision's E3 2007 event was one that even the publishing giant itself was trying not to look at -- presumably.
Four years later, it seems as though Kennedy hasn't gotten over the incident. Over on Twitter, the comedian lashed out at Michael Pachter and former Editor-in-Chief of PC Gamer Gary Whitta after they began discussing who out of Mr. Caffeine --from Ubisoft's E3 conference this year-- and Jamie Kennedy was the worst E3 host of all time (Jamie Kennedy's Tweets have been left unedited)."
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

@Oumba:”We’ve heard that story many times before 😂”
You know what we seen many times good franchises been run into the ground by bad management like h___o , f___a and most of the sports game oh I forgot the dynasty warriors

Happy thanksgiving to all the N4G members

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.
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members. Players who stream on the Xbox app on PC now have an additional streaming option with GeForce Now. Game Bar introduces quick settings, visual updates for Widgets in Compact Mode, and coming soon, Microsoft Edge Game Assist, an in-game browser that brings an immersive game-centric experience to Edge. And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
So those are the makers of COD. Good to know.
Wtf i thought they had monkeys working over at Activision since most of their games are crappy :D???
Nothing wrong with having to get drunk to build up some courage.......just not too drunk.
Mr Cocaine Was Worse. Doodly Doodly Doo
It was ages ago. I would have just been like
"lol Yeah that was me XDDD"
and move on. But I guess since he is famous and all... hm.
