    Default Rumor: Infinity Ward developing an MMO

    So, what does everybody think of this rumour, after IW screwed over PC fans with CoD:MW2 by having no dedicated servers, will this be a console MMO or a PC MMO, or both:

    Following on from today's rumor that Infinity Ward is working on a secret project and can't commit to Modern Warfare 3, some more gossip has found its way into our ears that might shed a little more light on the situation. According to our industry sources, Infinity Ward's new game will be an MMO.

    We've gotten word that IW is hiring people from Sony Online Entertainment, one of which may be the lead designer of EverQuest II, and that a member of Blizzard employees may also be involved to help Infinity Ward get this new title off the ground. Our Intel seems to indicate that Call of Duty will continue as an annual franchise while IW runs this MMO alongside it.

    It's not yet known if this MMO is based in the Call of Duty universe, although word of a CoD MMO has been floating around for a very long time. In any case, this is nothing but speculation at the moment, thought it's very interesting speculation indeed.

    I think ASDA Story already has the covered.

    Why would Blizzard need Infinity Ward to make a Starcraft game? That's like Valve needing Ubisoft to make a Half-Life title.

    But getting on topic Infinity Ward can take all it's console money and just stuff it right up their asses. Right up their good and tight.

    If they don't want to support PC, this PC won't support them.

    Alan "Brenlo" Crosby, Executive Producer for EverQuest II contacted us to let us know that the rumor about the Lead Developer for EverQuest II going to Infinity Ward is absolutely false.

    He suggested that the rumor may have instead started since previous SOE Lead Developers Jon L. Davis and Rick Baker are working at Infinity Ward currently. So while it seems that current SOE people are off the table, it certainly doesn't stop the potential of a CoD MMO -- especially with talented ex-SOE employees already in-house over at Infinity Ward.

    They have some really talented folks working at IW, so I wouldn't be surprised if they could pull off a decent game, especially with the budget that they have now. But I honestly doubt that they are going to make a MMO.

    A modern warfare mmo would be pretty cool.

    Sure would beat the hell out of these millions of copy-paste korean mmos that this board gets flooded with everyday.

    What MW2 are you playing?

    On xbl the guns are evenly spread out and such, haven't seen any bandwagons.

    Well the ACR, SCAR,M4A1,AUG, and RPD are generally the best none sniper weapons.
    ACR is generally chosen because it has the accuracy of the gods, with long range, despite the actual gun having an oddly short range for being an AR

    Oh I don't know, maybe because Blizzard don't have any expertise in something that specializes in guns that isn't a RTS?

    I wasn't being totally serious anyways.
