Activision Shoots Back at Ex-Infinity Ward Leads, calls them "self-serving schemers"

I, personally hope no more CoD games get made.
They follow the same over-dramitic and cheap storyline that makes the game seem like it's the fucking game of the year even though there's no intuition or creativity in it. It was fun the first few times, but now it's just getting stupid.
And word has it, they are going to make a Vietnam game, too. They'll take a big stinky chunky dump over one of the most controversial and dramatic military conflicts in modern history, and worse yet, no other company will be able to make a Vietnam game without it getting called a "Call of Duty: Vietnam" ripoff.

Why IW?

I've barely played the WWII ones, but the Modern Warfare games are actually pretty good.
By the way, guys, free weekend on MW2.

Every game about Vietnam has been terrible so far, I have yet to see one pulled off properly.

Agree x5000
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;21255606]Why IW?[/QUOTE]
Making IWnet and then trying to BS everyone about how it was going to make online play way better, and breaching their contract with Activision, which may well result in other developers being treated more poorly
[QUOTE=radioactive;21255644]Battlefield Vietnam.[/QUOTE]
Not much story there, but I really love the over-done cultural aspect of it. That game has a lot of style and good music.
[QUOTE=Reaver1991;21255675]Tunnel Rats.[/QUOTE]
Most of the reviews have said that game is horrible.

i will box every single one of them to prove them wrong
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;21255628]Every game about Vietnam has been terrible so far, I have yet to see one pulled off properly.[/QUOTE]
And CoD will butcher it. The reason no great Vietnam games have been made is because it was an awful war with a lot of cultural aspects involved. CoD will just make a bunch of over dramatic and mildy racist scenes portraying the Viet Cong as idiotic and barbaric soldiers, while the Americans are the big brauny heros of the story.
If the CoD storylines were turned into movies, they'd be B-movies with lots of criticism.

I guess if you're a PC player, it would be a pain, as I play it on console I've had no real problems with it, infact I quite enjoy the games.

Assuming this is the tunnel rats you're talking about.

I heard VietCong is pretty good.
One of those old nostalgia games.

IW basically said "fuck you pc community"
having to play the game like a console is embarrassing
Most Vietnam games tend to be boring to be honest. No offense to the people who fought in it but the war pretty much consisted of the US getting it's ass kicked by the vietcong as they would just use the jungles to their advantages, and just left US troops wandering through large expanses of jungle, which is not a very interesting setting for a game.

They could do a scene where you shoot at bystanders in a helicopter which is just slightly offensive but it will hit the news and gain even more publicity!

Well IW made No Russian so I see no reason why they wouldn't do this.
Er, people, you realize that part of the reason IW fucked off away from Activision is because Activision was making them do shit like IWNet, right?

IWNet isn't as bad as everyone says.
why is it good for anyone but them

That was IW's decision, if it was Activision making them do it then COD7 wouldn't have dedis either (they say they will have).

I easily remember moments of walking through the tunnels, vietcong hq's and so on, best stuff ever.

I hope they have a part where you kill lots of civilians.

VietCong is amazing.

Yeah, because look at how fucking insane everyone went over MW2 not having them. Activision figured out that taking shit like that out means that piracy goes up a retarded amount.
