    Kotick shoots himself in the foot - GG CoD

    Infinity Ward lead designer now Respawn lead designer [update] -- Joystiq

    Interview: Vince Zampella and Jason West talk Respawn Entertainment -- Joystiq

    Pachter: EA, DICE and Respawn will impact future Call of Duty sales -- Joystiq

    Infinity Ward holdouts to receive extra helping of bonuses, says Activision's Amrich -- Joystiq



    Well, it's official now. The top guys from Infinity Ward are gradually moving (of their own accord due to legal issues) to Respawn, which is currently supported by EA. Game set & match Kotick, you jack ass. My guess? Maybe one more good CoD game before the series implodes in his fat face and EA laughs it's ass off as Activision is kicked out of the FPS market.

    I wonder then, if we'll see a collaborated effort between Respawn & DICE... that would be bitching. Oh and the most important point in this, Respawn learned their lesson. Their new IP will be their property, not EA's so they can't get scrubbed again.


    Gah can't find the article but Activision just licensed a new Goldeneye Game... lol. Yeah good luck with that.

    Re: Kotick shoots himself in the foot - GG CoD

    Why would they run to EA? It's not going to be any better, there. They'll be forced into this VIP trend, by EA, who, even though they came up with it, can't get it right.

    Still, it's whatever. Modern Warfare sucks, and I doubt whatever game they make next will be any better. I hope they stay far, far away from DICE, because we don't need any more MW-clone Battlefield games, we just need Battlefield games.

      EA already tried the Goldeneye scam, no one fell for it.

      No one will fall for it unless it is the actual Goldeneye for N64, and even so, all the levels for that were incorporated into Perfect Dark on XBL arcade, so why even bother. Just because a name seems marketable doesn't mean it still is.

        MW2 isn't all bad. I'm sure Respawn could make a truly epic shooter given time.

        The BF series is better without question, especially BC2, but I still think the two studios could do a joint project that would absolutely kick ass. I found MW2 did a better job capturing the realism of the weapons than BC2 did quite franky (save for a few) while BC2's game mechanics are superior. (Most importantly, no bullcrap kill streaks that feed into further kill streaks)

            EA is only publishing Respawns' games. They'll be able to operate the studio how the choose.

              Still finding as many ways possible to hate on Kotick eh?

              I find it funny how EA was so quick to comment on the situation, and then be the ones who pick up Respawn Entertainment. It seems to have come to fruition curiously quickly, as if EA and the two IW guys had already discussed a departure and what the future plans would be and how to go about meeting that plan.

              It all seems a bit fishy to me.

                  It's not hard when you're poking at the devil, a mantle he has magnificently stolen from EA. If only Blizzard had stayed solo... but then as BBQ has pointed out, apparently their best talent has left them as well.

                    From what I've read, most of the people who've left Blizzard had left before the Activision merger took place. I believe 4 higher ups at Blizzard left about 7 years ago.

                        You mean other than the excessive camping, glitch abuse, n00b tubers, absurd killstreaks and the kill cam?

                          Well camping is a problem with most FPS and the same goes for n00b tubers(aka the weapon of that game that gives 1 shot kills without a direct hit...rocket launchers come to mind). I never had a problem with n00b tubers they are one dimensional and can be countered with flashbangs/stun grenades.

                          Killstreaks well that could be because of excessive camping or/and n00b tubers. If you are talking about the reward for killstreaks then you might not have the right load out. Every reward can be easily countered, except the nuke, if you have the right load out. A good example is the mounted-mini gun, if you dont know that the perk cold-blooded makes you invisable to it, I think the perks Marathron + Lightfoot can make you fast enough to strafe it, or flashbangs/stun grenades temporarly disable it so you can destory them without harm.

                          Any game breaking glitches should be dealt with promptly but seeing how most of IW left because of bonus/management issues, I can see why the glitches havent been patch yet. The fact that they are still a problem is inexcusable, they should have gotten someone to at least patch the game breaking ones.

                          I dont see what is wrong with the kill cam, it just show who had the game winning kill. Some of those kills are funny/awesome. Like the one where a guy was climbing through a window and was knife in his butt crack. Everyone one with a mic was laughing.

                          The only real problem is glitches and everything else is opinion/lack of knowledge.

                            I'm glad they're escaping from the iron fist of Activision... although to be honest I've never really cared about CoD. Lol. Cod. Sounds funny if you say it out loud.

                              I think Malacite is talking about the one that shows up every time somebody dies, not the one that shows up at the end of the game showing the last kill.
