I know that. My post was in response to Mr. Brit saying that Treyarch is the B team and COD players are smart enough to know that and wouldn't buy the game because of it. I was saying that if that was the case, after World at War, people wouldn't buy Black Ops, because it is Treyarch developed. Which is far from reality seeing as how Black Ops was the biggest selling game last year. Meaning COD players don't give a shit as long as it has COD on the box.Deadly Cyclone said:
Treyarch > IW based on the zombies mode alone.

Such a squandering of Raven software.

The thought of a Modern Warfare game that isn't 100% IW makes me sad.
Zzzzz. Skip. Eagerly await Respawn's first game.

I'll keep renting the games for the single player because I enjoy the mindless balls-to-the-wall action with scripted set pieces once a year, but I've never cared about the multiplayer (except for MW2's spec ops mode which I enjoyed and played through multiple times).heringer said:

Oh man I was really hoping Sledgehammer was going to be working on some kind of Space Call of Duty. =(
That would be a huge waste of talent to have them make a straight up MW game, as far as I'm concerned.

Also Activision needs to man the fuck up and have Raven work on Singularity 2 instead, and then properly market it.

Looking forward to it. Sorry uptight GAF.
I bought every Call of Duty until Black Ops. I get the appeal of the series, I loved Modern Warfare 1, but it hit it's saturation point for me at World of War and it was all downhill from there. From now on, I'll just rent.
Anyways, it's pretty shocking to see a studio as successful as Infinity Ward fall apart so abruptly. The sad truth is that it doesn't really matter, we've seen plenty of proof that the series can still be a hit with or without them. It's like they never existed.

You mean rename Raven to something like Infinity Ward West or actually just close the Raven studio and send anyone over that would go?Grecco said:

It's really not a matter of being uptight. Why would I be happy that two devs that I like (well I'm giving Sledgehammer the benefit of the doubt for now, due to Glen "Dead Space" Schofield) have to work on a 3rd game in a series I don't like? Or is everyone uptight who doesn't agree with you?CitizenCope said:

Uhh, will there even be a Respawn game? Because it sounds like the guys committed sabotage at Activision which damaged the company and the shareholders and may lead to some bad situations in court.

This. I haven't played Black Ops in maybe 2-3 weeks. Disappointed in how the PS3 version turned out.SolidSnakex said:
I'm going with a wait and see approach to MW3. When it was the full IW team, I could count on the PS3 version being technically sound. With half the team gone, and with many chefs in the kitchen I'm not full of hope.

Hmm this will be interesting to see. How many games with 3 cooks in the kitchen have been worth a crap? More so when two fo them are working on the single player. Not many that i can think of. Hell most that have more then two end up not so good.
Why are we excited that a gutted IW needs help to make their game? MW3 will come out in November, and I, like 8 million others, will buy it unless the multiplayer looks really, really shitty. How hard can it honestly be at this point to make a decent COD? All we basically want is new levels for multiplayer and maybe some tweaks.

So Raven are solely responsible for the multiplayer then? I thought they were making map packs for Black Ops?
Just as long as they don't fuck the multiplayer up. That is the lifeblood of the franchise and all I care about.

this will be fun to quote when it sells more copies than black ops or at least the same amount.

Raven putting bots into the MP is the only way I'd buy this. Black Ops bots are so much fun to play.

Yea he was short sighted. Of course it will sell well. There are too many idiots out there who just buy it just based off older games. Where it will hurt them is future games in the series. People burned by it will be less inclined to buy other Call of Duty games after that.

Nope, pretty sure CoD players are every bit as braindead as Activision assumes them to be. They don't give a shit about A studios or B studios, or the game being actually good, or bringing something new to the table. They're happy if it's a small update that's not complete shit.Mr_Brit said:

It's pretty amazing when you look at the list of people that left for Respawn. IW is really a shell of what they once were, so it's not surprising that they'd need a lot of help getting their next game out.

It's difficult to say at this point, because Black Ops is the best-selling game in the series so far, no? If this is the peak, the following game sells less but it is still very successful and then the series tends to fall off a cliff after that. Anecdotally, I sense some fatigue with the whole franchise, so I might guess we've seen the peak of its popularity, but that doesn't mean Activision is going to take a bath with MW3 by any stretch. But the returns will start diminishing rapidly if it doesn't equal or best the previous games.
