Activision poops all over CoD franchise

[Mr. First Name Basis]

I hate games where the focus is so obviously on online play, period. people who play games online (especially shooters) are, mostly, a bunch of pre*****cent ****wits with shrill voices and no sense of wit, with no lives apart from improving their skill at their game of choice

Well that's a bit misdirected. Whenever I played games, I typically only played online. (In fact this site was founded on Online games; hence the name). Yes I played shooters, but I didn't have a shrill voice. I did have a life outside of video games though I was good at the style I played. As for the last comment, do you recommend people try to be really good at all types? Being a jack of many trades, master of none gets you nowhere.

it wasn't specifically directed at you, if you aren't like that, well, awesome :]

and I'm suggesting that grinding obsessively at one game till you're amazing at it is something that I, for one, have no time for.

Bah deathblow for another good online shooter and from the sounds of it since Activision is pushing for yearly releases the games quality will turn to that of other franchises that went for quantity over quality.

Am I the only one one who isn't overly fond of Infinity Ward? COD4 was great, but they basicly took a big shit on the community, considering all the unfixed glitches,elevators, and hacks. I loved WAW to death, maybe cause im a WW2 *****, but Treyarch made the better game, and I will always stand by that statement. MW2 was fun, but unbalnced, and glitchy. I hope IW devs meet much sucsess, but I think COD needs to drop the MW brand.

Activision is sure attracting the lawsuits lately; there's like four Guitar Hero suits against them atm and now this.

dunno man, WAW was eating man c*nts, it was definately a step back when you consider the sp campaign and mp online. i think mw2 had better sp and mp but overall it was like mw1... lacking the original cod spirit. sp was awesome but mp.. too much like the console... game over man, game over.

mw1 and 2 are better than waw simply because they deliver fun mp and fun sp. waw was a travesty of a game... but overall i think the series has lost alot owing to the console wars

anyone who thinks treyarch make a good game needs their sphincter examined with a hellfire

WaW was good to me. Of course it wasn't better than MW, but it was Treyarch's leap from CoD3 (which everyone disliked for some reason).

You have many valid points, but like I stated earlier, I just hate to see people harp on WW2 games in genral, and I have to agree with you in the end. If only IW would make a WW2 game for WW2 whores like me
