| I don't understand why Activision even cares about the old Infinity Ward anymore. They are only bothering EA about this because they don't want the old IW guys to work on Battlefield 3. Activison knows that Battlefield 3 is gonna shit all over the new CoD. |

Activision are really going for a sensational popularity status:
-Sueing the minds behind the most successfull game on xbox
-Sacking talented developers for trying new things
-Killing off 2 or 3 popular franchises

As if I couldn't scorn EA anymore. They have limited resources on what I still support for them. Their hockey games are becoming as redundant as their football games and Dead Space is the only surviving franchise I like of them. |

where the fuck did activision find that judge,
if theres no evidence of the meetings between EA, west & zampella, how the fuck did that not get thrown out of court
either this judge wants to humiliate activision in court, or he's been paid off to side with them. saying that, a lot of US law is bullshit, favouring corporate bullshit over anything else.
@21 don't be so sure, activision can still refuse to publish their games unless they are made as they say, which i'm sure will just consist of them handing the old modern warfare code and saying, make something like (or using) this
im pretty sick of hearing about activision now, if they were even vaguely in the right, i wouldn't get so annoyed, but what annoys me is the blatant bullshit of american law being abused by big companies, because they can afford it
i have more to this rant, but, i have to to go out, so i leave mid rant... |

Look at all the ppl hating on Activision and yet EA is the one that came up with online passes ans screwed users over on supposedly free content and disc locked content. I don't care either way or another, but someone has to stand up and point EA's money grabbing attempts. Not sure what Acti did that they are money hungry rather than suing them which is only reasonable seeing they probably spent millions on defense lawyers to begin with.
OT: Promised bonuses? Really you can base cases on that nowadays? If I promise a guy a millions dollars if he pulls his pants down and then don't pay will he sue me too? On what basis? Empty promises? Shit like this makes me giggle^^ |

On topic, I think it is clear, beside Call of Duty on consoles, Activision have nothing to offer us console gamers. Apart from Black Ops on the PS3 the other day, they had nothing else in the top 20.
EA to me are improving every year (whilst still not perfect) and have loads of great IPs that they own. |

Dead space 2, dragon age 2, bulletstorm,crysis 2, portal 2, mass effect 3 and battlefield 3. what has activision gave us in the last couple months? black ops? Then there coming out with probably another COD and a transformer movie game. I think EA def earning there money from us consumers. (yes the online pass is weak) |

Any other company could have published those games and it wouldn't have made a difference. It all depends on the developers in the end. You wanna praise ppl for those games, the praise Visceral games, people can fly and Bioware. |

Then there was the time that a stoner hid their pipe and stash in a happy meal bag, and it got served to a kid...sued McDonald's for that.
Now Activision is suing EA and Infinity Ward. I remember an episode of House where Dr. House said "CHA CHING! The American Dream!"
That pretty much sums it all up.

@ 5. Thats so sad that you need to Fanboy especially when B3 is basically MW3.
@ 45. Activision does make the CoD franchise especially when they own IW and the rights to every CoD game. EA did develope DS 1 & 2 especially when they own the rights to the DS franchise and they also own Visceral Studios. EA is developing ME3 because they own the ME franchise since they bought Bioware. Bulletstorm and People Who Can Fly is the exception because Epic owns both of them while EA just Published the game.
@ 60 and 64. EA was involved with this whole mess and I see no reason why EA shouldn't appear in this. Activision isn't doing anything Wrong especially when every Company milks their best selling products including EA. Its sad that you would rather let EA free after they released information to the media that they were involved with the this whole Zampella and West mess. Activision did nothing Wrong while Zempella and West are disgruntled ex employees that feel sue happy.
@ 62. That was the original reason for the VIP pass while EA is saying that it was a better way to secure their servers.
@ 66. ME3 would have been around without EA especially when MS was with Bioware on ME. |

@67 @71 You really have no clue what the hell your talking about. How do you know Activision hasn't done anything wrong? There's over 40 people suing them for royalties. OBVIOUSLY you don't know everything about the case.
I don't know how you think BF3 is becoming COD when COD has unrealistic perks, simplistic gameplay, no destruction of any kind, BF has vehicles that you actually control, BF has larger maps that don't promote camping in a corner like every single COD map does by forcing you through hallways and doorways. And considering no MW3 info has been released stop acting like you know everything because you clearly don't. |

@ 75. This ius all about ex exployees suing Activision because of the whole Zampella/West firing and over the rights of MW2 since the CoD name isn't attached to it. I know more about the case then you because I've read a lot of articles in Gaming Magazines and News websites. The perks in CoD are all realistic while I guess you haven't heard on Full Metal Jackets, Bomb suits, Ghilli suits, Thermal blocking suits, and the ist can go on. I said that Battlefield is becoming CoD because of the weapon customization in BC, perks in BC2, and the look/gameplay in B3. You can directly and indirctly control vehicles in CoD while they're called Killstreaks. I know that nothing about MW3 has been releasesd while B3 with the whole look and gameplay looks a lot like MW2.
@ 81. Activision did make the CoD games because they own IW, Treyarch, Raven, and Sledgehammer plus the CoD rights. EA is developing ME3 because they own Bioware and the rights to ME. EA is also developing the DS series because they own Visceral and the rights to DS. I guess you haven't played any of those games has an Activision or EA logo while ME1 is an exception since MS was the Publisher at the time.
@ 82. That won't happened because EA admitted that they helped Zampella and West while EA didn't sabotage MW2 while thats what Zapella and West did. I'm sure that this will be settled out of court because EA can lose 400 million especially when Zampella and West is currently employeed under EA because of Respawn.
@ 87. I completely agree while most people don't understand that. |

I still have the first 2 MoH's on PS1 in mint condition! Hopefully the inevitable loss on Assivision will dent theri buisness so badly the company goes into liquidation! Not only is the shitty game destroying gaming but jobs, families couples because some fags are too occupied playing it then doing what matters! I hope those Cunts realise they are destroying society just to make a quick buck. Long time haters of Assivision... keep up the good work! |

| @ 92. Its funny how you're moaning about Activision and CoD while the creation of CoD has caused more shooters to be made including the reboot of MoH. Its also sad that you think CoD is horrible especially when most of the major FPSs are slowly going for the CoD direction, which that includes Battlefield. If Activision wanted to destroy society then they would release game that come out over year under 1 year Developement schedule and have a thing called a VIP pass. Btw you have no room to talk about Activision being "Assivison" because you can't successfully run a multi-million dollar company and create a multi-billion dollar game franchise. Haters are gonna hate while you're just another mindless Hater that doesn't know what they're talking about. |

| @89 You people obviously don't know the difference between publishing and developing the game, or publishing and making anything. J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter series but the books are published by Scholastic Books. Scholastic don't make the Epic Games developed the Gears Of War franchise but Microsoft Publishes them. When a company publishes and develops a game the only logo on the case would be that of the publishing company. Look at the Madden games EA sports, look at Army Of Two, EA Montreal. Now look at Mass Effect 1, Bioware and Microsoft, because it was developed by Bioware and published by Microsoft . Now look at ME2 Bioware and EA, Bioware develops and EA publishes. |

| #93Just cause theyve influenced more FPS games doesnt make it good! Serial Killers influence copy cats. Does that make them good? The company sees nothing past the dollar signs in their eyes. Each year a new CoD comes out stealing the spot light from the truly deserving games! The series prides its self on its MultiPlayer and not its story. If the games had a good story then I might enjoy them. The repackage the same game year in year out with no complaints and get billions for a copy paste job. Other games get slanderd for having a similar style to its preicesor yet CoD gets praised. I actually am that dis-satisfied with recent shooters that I still perfer to play the classic FPS games like GoldenEye, Quake, Doom even South Park. The recent HomeFront actually looks like a break from all the shite of recent as it actually seems to ahev a story. And from such a high-positioned writer of war dramas. Besides the new MoH is horrible, I'm glad I rented it but not that glad because I wasted valuable time playing it! I'm sorry but untill ASSivision actually try then I'm still a hater and proud of it. Now if you dont mind... Im going to play Medal of Honor 1! |

@ 94. You clearly don't know that most of the games that are published by Publishing companies own the rights to those games. Epic does own all of the rights to Gears except for the Publishing rights, which is owned by MS. EA developes the ME games because they own all of the rights to ME and they also own Bioware.
@ 95. I guess you haven't read any of my comments then because I didn't comment on Realism. The closest Shooters to Real life is Operation Flashpoint, Rainbow 6, Swat, and Socom. I know that CoD isn't 100% Realistic while Battlefield isn't 100% Realistic either.
@ 96. Most of the FPS gennre are making similar or adapting their games to the CoD formula just like how Halo did that with console games for a number of years. Every company is the world sees nothing past the dollar signs because you need to make money to spend money especially when it costs thousands to millions of dollars to Develope games. Most of the FPSs aren't better then CoD because the US game market is flooded with FPSs since thats the most popular genre over here. Repackaging a game would be having a 1 year developement time like Need for Speed, Madden, and every sport related game while CoD doesn't fall under that because each installment has a 2 year developement peroid from a different Developer. The only thing that each CoD installment shares is the Core gameplay and CoD name. The classics like Doom, GoldenEye, Quake, and Duke Nukem are good while the times have changed especially when Graphics is a big thing these days. The Campaign of Homefront looks different while the Multiplayer is an updated Frontlines, which thats a bad thing. MoH was horrible while EA blamed the sales because of the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars. You still you have no room to talk about Activision being "Assivison" because you can't successfully run a multi-million dollar company and create a multi-billion dollar game franchise. Haters are gonna hate while you're just another mindless Hater that doesn't know what they're talking about. |

| @ 99. CoD and Battlefield are on the same level of Realism while they're Arcade FPSs compared to Operation Flashpoint, which is one of the most Realistic Shooters without being in the Military. That quote of mine was taken out of context because I was just saying that the perks in CoD are based on Reality while I was just proving someone Wrong with that quote.

Are you on crack? On cod you can run around drop to the floor in half a second and shoot someone and no one runs around jumping about shooting people in the military and in battlefield that doesn't happen and on cod you can put a 7.62 NATO into someone and they won't die whereas in battlefield they will die but not just that cod has quickscoping - unrealistic, battlefield doesn't and on battlefield there's frostbite 2.0 which allows enviromental destruction and cod has no bullet wind, drop or distance effect. On black ops you can shoot someone with a Mil Mi-24 S-24 240mm rocket and they won't die so stop contradicting what everyone is saying all the time and don't talk about realism with me thinking your right because my knowledge of military stamps on yours. |

You seemed to mention battlefield becoming like cod well that's bullshit, do you really think cod is the only game for weapons customization, take a look a army of two for instance, the weapons modifications on that exceed cod and battlefield is a vehicular based combat game so the two are not the same thing are they really? |

@ 101. You can run around drop to the floor in half a second and shoot someone in any most of the FPSs that allow you to go prone while that will be happening in B3. No one runs around jumping about shooting people in the military while that happens in most shooting games like Halo, Battlefield, Conterstrike, Unreal Tournament, and CoD. I guess you haven't played that many Shooters to complain about one 7.62 NATO round not killing a person while you forget that it usually takes more then one 50 Cal round to kill a person in a game, which that includes CoD and Battlefield. Battefield and CoD are both Arcade Shooters that have some Realism while they still aren't Real because they're Video Games. If you want a Realistic Shooter then join the Military or play Operation Flashpoint as your sole FPS game then. Haters are gonna hate while you're just another Hater that doesn't know what you're talking about.
@ 102. Battlefield is becoming because every installment from Bad Company had features from the CoD franchise. The features were Class Customization in BC, perk system in BC2, MW2 look/gameplay in B3. CoD is a vehicular based combat game while the vehicles in CoD are called Killstreaks. Again Haters are gonna hate while you're just another Hater that doesn't know what you're talking about. |

@104
Do you even know what a 7.62 is? Cod is not a vehicular based combat game because if anything it's a run and gun shooter, yeah perhaps your right in the fact that it has vehicles as killstreaks but you can only control either M2 Brownings and you don't actually fly the Hind you control it and with all the other vehicles you only place co-ordinates and as with modern warefare 2 it is the same thing so it is not a vehicular based combat game because with the exception of a few parts in the campaign, you don't really fly or drive anything whereas battlefield is because driving vehicles is a very common aspect in both campaign and online and the fact that I do play flashpoint and other shooters and a wide variety of games but you went off subject and dragged them in while I was talking about the realism of cod compared to battlefield, I don't give a fuck if you can do it in other games, I did not involve them. |

@ 105. Its the standard round for our Assault rifles like the M16 while that round is shared by every country in NATO. CoD is a vehicular based combat game while the vehicles in CoD are called Killstreaks. You have complete control with most of the Killstreaks for BO like the Gunship, RC-XD, Grim Reaper, Valkyrie missle, Care package, and etc while the Chopper gunner you can control the gun and you can't control the Attack helicopter. Again you have complete control with most of the Killstreaks in MW2 as well because half of the BO kilstreaks came from MW2. I guess you haven't plaeyd BO or MW2 because of you saying that, "you don't really fly or drive anything whereas battlefield is because driving vehicles is a very common aspect in both campaign and online". Again Battlefield and CoD are both Arcade Shooters that have some Realism while they still aren't Real especially when Battlefield is becoming another CoDesque FPS. People always involve other Shooters while you shouldn't be moaning about Arcade playstyle of B and COD because you supposedly played Operation Flashpoint, which is the closest you'll be in the Military by playing a video game. Haters are gonna hate while you're just another Hater that still doesn't know what you're talking about.
@ 106. You do know that Bungie is Independent while the only thing that Activision can do is Published their games for 10 years. Most of the Developers out there are owned by their Publishers like EA with Bioware, MS with Lionhead, and Activision with IW to name a few examples. |

First of all what the fuck is a hater, I'm expressing my opinion and secondly, when it comes down to military I know a lot more than you for a start, a 7.62 is not assault rifle round with the exceptions of the kalashnikov and scar-h, it's a sniper round (.308 Winchester) and an M16 cartridge is a 5.56 so your wrong there and you may know about games but you know fuck all about real war terms so come on Mr.Expert is you know all, tell

@ 109. If you were expressing your Opinion then you wouldn't be arguing with me while you're a Hater because you bash CoD while Battlefield is very similar to CoD. The 7.62 is an Assault rifle round because they can be altered to use those rounds like changing the barrel and reciever is an example. Btw you do know that the M16 can be altered to use the 7.62 especially whe Navy Seals do that in countries that use AKs. The .44 Magnum round can become a sniper rifle round because those rifles were altered to use that round. I don't know everything while I do know more things then you especially when I have friends and family in all of the Military branches.

You really don't know more than me and what makes you think I don't have relatives and friends in the military, the fact is the 7.62 is not standard for an assault rifle that's the point I made and when it comes to military I know what I'm talking about the fact is I never said 7.62's can't be used in M16's, i said it's not standard plus you obviously just looked that up on the Internet but anyway this argument has become too off topic, not saying you came off topic but the point I was trying to get across was that no matter whether they are both unrealistic arcade shooters, i was simply saying battlefield is the more realistic out of the two and you still never said was a hater is and you still don't know what NATO stands for so don't waste any more time arguing because the fact of the matter is, I really don't give a fuck. |

Why would I lie especially when I have family that went into the Marines, Army, and Air Force while also having friends that went into the Navy, Air Force, and Army. You still don't know what you're talking about especially when you started out saying that the 7.62 isn't used in Assault rifles then switching your story saying that AKs and Scar-H uses that round, which they're still Assault rifles. Again the 7.62 is also an Assault rifle round because the M16 can be altered to use the 7.62 especially whe Navy Seals do that in countries that use AKs. Don't forget the .44 Magnum round can become a sniper rifle round because those rifles were altered to use that round. The 7.62 is a standard option for some Assault rifles especially when our Military is looking at that round for our Combat rifles while that same round is a standard for every Country that uses any type of AK. Both of them are "unrealistic arcade shooters" especially when Battlefield has been turned into CoD since BC. If you want to play a Realistic Shooter then play Operation Flashpoint. If you want a similar game then plat Rainbow 6. I know what NATO is especially when we lead that aliance while it was a counter to Communism in the Cold War.

You said that the 7.62 round isn't used in Assault rifles then you say that AKs and Scar-H uses them while you say that round isn't standard in Assualt rifles. Again the 7.62 is also an Assault rifle round because the M16 can be altered to use the 7.62 especially whe Navy Seals do that in countries that use AKs. Don't forget the .44 Magnum round can become a sniper rifle round because those rifles were altered to use that round. The 7.62 round is in standard manufacturing especially when the Military is involved whiile I guees you forgot about the AKs and Scars. Battlfield and CoD being "unrealistic arcade shooters" is Fact especially when Battlefield has been turned into CoD since BC. You're a Hater because you are blinded by Ignorance.

@67 Are you serious? Activision may own the rights but they don't actually make the COD games. The publish the games, they pay Infinity Ward and Treyarch, and now slegdehammer games and raven to make these games. EA is not developing Mass Effect 3 or Dead Space 2. Bioware and Visceral Games are the developers. If EA or Activision had developed those games then the game cases would only have the logo for EA or Ac on them.

@ 81. Activision did make the CoD games because they own IW, Treyarch, Raven, and Sledgehammer plus the CoD rights. EA is developing ME3 because they own Bioware and the rights to ME. EA is also developing the DS series because they own Visceral and the rights to DS. I guess you haven't played any of those games has an Activision or EA logo while ME1 is an exception since MS was the Publisher at the time.
I realize this is old.. but i have to say something... lol
Developers... are teams of programmers/designers/artists/renderers/etc.. that actually make/build/program games.. They are the ones that MAKE the games...
Publishers... are the companies that massproduce, advertise, market, and sell the games. they are the ones that SELL the games.
You see the difference???? And yes Activision and EA may own those developers... But they're not MAKING the games. It's like any product..
Heres an example...
Guitar Hero 3
Developer(s)
Neversoft (Xbox 360 & PS3)
Aspyr Media (PC & Mac)
Vicarious Visions (Wii)
Budcat Creations (PS2)
RedOctane (PS2)
Publisher(s)
Activision
Guitar Hero 2
Developer(s) Harmonix Music Systems
Publisher(s) RedOctane, Activision
The Guitar Hero series was MADE by Harmonix... they moved on to MAKE The Rockband series... while Activision continued on to procede to milk every penny out of a dying franchise, Guitar Hero... IMO
Same thing happened to CoD
Morale of the story is... Support the Developers.. the ORIGINAL Developers... not the Publishers... And know the difference between Developers and Publishers... |

theres alot of off topic bitching in these threads about these guys, the law suits aint anything to do with the games, it's the staff. the ex-IW guys are accusing activision of stiffing them on payment. and activision are accusing EA of corperate espionage. despite the fact i feel neither here nor there for either publisher, i can understand activisions point.
those employees have signed a contract tieing them to activision and to maintain the secrets of the game, having secret meeting with a company producing a rival game is obviously gonna hinder the progress and quality. EA are commiting corperate espionage, and the IW guys are in breach of contract.
this being said i dont agree with wat activion did to the 42 IW guys, if they are telling the truth that is. |
