[quote]The studio that started the Call of Duty phenomenon fell to pieces earlier this year with the [URL="http://kotaku.com/5513756/the-biggest-break-up-in-video-game-history"]firing of its co-founders[/URL] and the following [URL="http://kotaku.com/5525152/eight-more-leave-modern-warfare-developers-bringing-total-to-26"]mass exodus[/URL] of pissed off [URL="http://kotaku.com/tag/infinityward"]Infinity Ward[/URL] employees. With enough money, you can recover from that.
And when you're Activision Blizzard, you can put Infinity Ward back together again. You can get over it. And Activision's owner claims it has, according to the [URL="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/2b4555c8-f3d3-11df-901e-00144feab49a.html#axzz15mrgTp52"]Financial Times[/URL]. "We have reconstructed Infinity Ward," said chairman and CEO Jean-Bernard Lévy of Vivendi, the majority owner of the mega-publisher. "We have been very happy with the way we have been able to reconstruct it."
Not that Vivendi and ActiBlizz need them! Lévy boasts that Black Ops developer Treyarch has outperformed the old Infinity Ward with its latest game. And they have Sledgehammer!
Activision did promise "[URL="http://kotaku.com/5609705/activision-call-of-duty-creator-infinity-ward-will-rise-from-the-ashes"]Ultimately, Infinity Ward will rise from the ashes[/URL]" not long after [URL="http://kotaku.com/5569937/modern-warfare-2-studio-looking-for-fresh-blood-lots-of-fresh-blood"]aggressively hiring new talent[/URL] for the embattled studio. We're sure they'll be wrapping up Modern Warfare 3 any day now.[/quote]

Guys have you ever built something professional with legos, then hired a team of professional designers to out build it, then it turns out better?
This is one of those business models.

You forgot the part where your asshole brother comes along and throws it against the wall and then you just leave
Then he gets someone else to build it for you
"Where is Call of Duty?"
"Is it safe? Is it alright?"

Reminds me of how I spent a long time building this one lego thing up, then my fucking sisters broke it a day after I finished. I got so fucking mad.
They really do have no fucking shame, bastards!
Hopefully the "new talent" actually has some talent, unlike most of the IW devs apparently.

You can't completely blame IW for MW2, Activision probably rushed them. CoD4 was great in both terms of multiplayer and the campaign compared to the games that came after it.

That's the short version?
I remember when they were the awesome blokes who made Call of Duty 2 an amazing game, sigh those were the days.

Sup guys, I'm going to push you crap products till I blow up from money explosion.
I don't get what the big deal is. They have a notable game studio understaffed, so they filled it out with new employees. It's standard business.
I'm also tired with all the stupid bullshit about Kotick in every thread related to gaming. Everyone always has to have a person to collectively hate, just like Jack Thompson, a shitty lawyer who had no real influence because the courts didn't take him seriously, but he was always heralded as some "scourge" to video games. Just stop it. Kotick is no different from any other CEO of a large publisher. They're all producing shovelware, because it [i]sells[/i].

And how. Bobby Kotick may be greedy, but almost every business is like that.

It isn't even shovelware, it very well delivers to the market that they are delivering to.

you know...people that like fun with friends
"Rise from the ashes", more like "Rise from the sky-high pile of gold bricks".
If they release a modern warfare 3 I swear I am going to be sick, I'm so tired of that series it's just became fucking unbearable.
How about some originality.

It will never work, the thrusters vector will be in the entirely incorrect position for take off.
