Infinity Ward just sank faster than the Titanic. Makes me wonder if they planned it that way - knock off the heads of the studio, let it die then streamline their budget by putting MWIII under two other studios?
I wouldn't put it past 'em. The corporate mindset is almost alien in its iniquity and ruthlessness.
You beat me to it!
Yup, we heard the man - we don't need some big fat gaming thing. I guess it's time to finally say goodbye to Gabe Newell, Aaron Greenberg and Steve Ballmer!
I'd Pokemon the floor
I'd Pokemon the table
I'd Poke 'em on a chair or spring
I'd Pokemon most anything!

EDIT: @ Heisenberg - that was hilarious. Bubble Power+++!
A fine, unbiased article...from Planet XBOX360. First off: at one time he owned a PS3? What happened to it? He never explains. And now, his reasons for staying away:
5. No B/C. I can understand that, I was kinda pissed when it got taken out of the new SKUs. But the PS3 library is much bigger now - I've more games than I know what to do with, so I'm not missing the PS2 era much.
4. PSN. A fanboy rant about how 'you get what you pay for' while extolling the virt...
Thought the game was genius, but had a WTF moment at the end; therefore it's "deeply flawed"?
Seems like pretty flawed reasoning to me.
Can't wait to see what they do with their experience on this next IP!
Because frankly, there's a difference - we have douches too, but they're different *kinds* of douches. Here's three that were missed:
1. The Chatfiend: "Hello? Can anyone hear me?" Will blather on until someone answers, then try to engage you in long and irrelevant conversation, oblivious to the fact that there's a game going on and you're trying to focus on not getting killed.
2. The Exclusionist: Refuses to play with anyone except their exclusive circle ...
Money, money, money. In order, this is: 1)The reason for everything; 2)What everyone wants; 3)Why the world is completely f^cked up.
Splitting online play into regions probably has something to do with it - license fees or something similar. It's also why Hitler started WWII; he needed to get people's minds off the economy.
Filthy lucre...
What absence?
I personally use several firewalls, antivirus software, encoded routers, port monitors, vulnerability scanners, browser cryptography, IP traceroute programs and a few other little surprises.
Macs have protective options, I assure you.
Any doofus can mess with a computer he's sitting in front of and logged into. How is that even considered hacking?
"Public opinion is turning against us! People are discovering what greedy blood-sucking corporate scumbags we are! Quick, send in the PR monkeys!"
Too late, Bobby. Too late.
LMAO; bubbles for that
I can't stand campers. I understand if you're sniping - that makes sense. But I think people who abuse the practice should be punished...so I make a point of going after campers and politely knifing them in the back of the head while they're carefully lining up a shot.
The problem with staying in one place: everyone knows where you are. So it's actually good to keep moving.
Yeah, I got that one. A quick scan with Norton killed it, though.
The first rule of connecting to the internet is the same as the first rule of sex. Always use protection.
I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm getting a wee bit tired of the FPS genre. The environments may be different, the graphics may be awesome, but it's generally still just "point and shoot" gameplay. Not terribly interesting. A previous article mentioned that we need to care about *why* we're shooting things, and I couldn't agree more.
Depth. It's something a lot of games are missing. There's nothing like a game that makes you think carefully about what you're d...
Silly Activision. You killed the golden goose!
I'd be embarrassed to have these trophies. Since trophies are worth f-all on PSN, it's about bragging rights - and there's no way in hell I'm going to brag about getting Platinum on a Hasbro game (or, God help us, Hannah Montana).
I only have a single platinum trophy, but it's for Dead Space; a game I can actually be proud to have fully completed.
Doesn't make sense to do it just to thumb their noses at us. For my 2 cents, I think they're drumming up demand for when they finally release a PS3 edition. Maybe they have a timed exclusive deal going on.
And if it doesn't happen...well, then they can lose out on the sales and rot; just like Gabe and the rest of those f@gs at Valve.
Can you tell I'm a little bitter? It really pisses me off when developers get caught up in the console wars. They should know bette...
Cut off the head, and the body will fall. IW's been decapitated, is spurting blood (talent) and it's only a matter of time before it hits the ground.
Till then I'll be munching popcorn and watching avidly.
First of all, if they're serious about dedication to their members - shorten the podcasts. I get impatient waiting 30 seconds for the microwave, never mind a 3 hour circle jerk. Summarize. Stay on point. Stick to the facts. Keep it brief.
Second, if N4G is a topic worthy of discussion alongside the hottest and latest games to hit the industry, and they all have N4G accounts themselves...then I guess it has greater significance than these guys are willing to admit. ;)
