Why is it necessary to announce a filler for the void that Call of Duty will be leaving behind?
Also, Battlefield and Call of Duty are two VERY different game series which have little to nothing in common with one another. The only thing they do have in common is that they're both FPS' and they're set in the near future with modern day weapons and technology.
Aside from that, they play very differently.
Can't we all just ignore MW2 and be done with? There's no need to give free advertising to another game just to spite it.

QUOTE(Falk @ Nov 13 2009, 02:07 AM) I still maintain that was a giant publicity stunt. There very likely would have been a way to rip the console map files and convert them to the PC format, considering how similar the software is for both platforms. Stuff like rendering engine, controls, multiplayer capability (NOT ANYMORE THOUGH LOL!) etc would obviously be different in the two platforms but there's no reason for developers to make it harder on themselves by having huge differences in format/architecture on back-end stuff. You have to remember, they charged on the xbox and PS3. Just because they could easily port it the PC version, doesn't automatically mean that they should give it away for free. IINM, if nVidia hadn't stepped in, we probably would never have seen those maps at all since they believe that we're all stingy bastards who wouldn't pay for it, thus not worth the possible vitriol that would erupt if they charged for it. |

QUOTE(secondrate @ Jan 18 2010, 11:02 PM) Have you guys read the Jan 2010 issue of PCGamer? I think the international one also has this article. Basically a guy ranting about pc gamers being 'elitist' and how we are all stuck in the past for using a keyboard and mouse 'instead of a slick, new gamepad'. Then he goes on to say how he has a quad core pc with a backlighted keyboard among other things  If you're referring to our local one, the original article probably came out months ago (Y'know, when it was actually still relevant to the issue... Man I hate PCG Malaysia). Also based on that tone, it sounds like it came from the rather pariah PCG US instead of the highly esteemed PCG UK. |

Added on January 19, 2010, 3:38 pmI think that's the one. The one with the 'DEDICATED SUCKS' graph  Ah, I think I get it now... He was ranting about how PC gamers consider the gamepad to be inferior right? Makes sense now. |

QUOTE(MYNAMEISJASON @ Feb 1 2010, 07:53 PM) Check out the next reason why IW developers are all liars and cheaters » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The steam profile comparisons aren't exactly full proof since they only actually update once you exit the game and sometimes it takes awhile to update. Also, is this game still worth trolling against? Its been out for 3 months already. This thread itself feels a bit moot by now. |

QUOTE(MYNAMEISJASON @ Feb 2 2010, 11:06 AM) QUOTE Well Robert, the second one scenario seems the most plausible to me.. but hold on a second. Since when do you play MW2 on PC anyway !? So how is it possible to forget to close down MW2 in the first place anyway ? That's actually more plausible than they play it out to be. It is not uncommon to leave your work terminal running over the weekend (Especially so since it is a development studio). |

QUOTE(kianweic @ Mar 4 2010, 02:45 PM) http://kotaku.com/5485295/infinity-ward-fo...npaid-royaltiesFrom the above, looks like IW owns the rights to COD. Corporate structure usually quite complicated, just because you own a company (even at 100%), doesn't necessary mean you own the right to certain process /products / trademark. That's why there are royalty payments from subsidiary to holding company or vice versa. (Not just for gaming companies) Thing is, a lot of developers get paid by their publishers based on royalties... regardless of whether the developer is owned by the publisher or not. Plus, since IW was formed by former 2015 heads, royalties were probably part of the deal they made with Activision. |
