Speechless. Activision says the new Call of Duty is coming out November. I can't really tell what the story is going to be, but it looks like vietnam. However, it also looks like a flashback so your guess is as good as mine. Check it.

It's supposedly going to span from Vietnam to Cuba as some of the weapons included in the game are from the late '70s.

38 Infinity Ward designers sue Activision over withheld bonuses Seeking up to $625 million in damages
If the 27 now ex-employees weren't enough for you, members of Infinity Ward have filed a lawsuit against Activision for those withheld bonuses we've mentioned before, among other matters. Accoring to previous reports and now the lawsuit, Activision is witholding a large portion of the bonuses the employees depend on once a game is released, the idea being to keep them around as other employees quit and the stakes get higher for any remaining.

this game is not being made by Activision. it is being done by the people who did Call of Duty world at War. and i still play the 1st call of duty 4. and i have not seen any hackers for a while because server admins use tools like AON PB bans GGC witch all Stream PB bans and bans are added every day.
-
I liked the first call of duty, the one that started in stalingrad...
-
As MrMeanie said Treyarch is making this one and I personally couldn't care less about activision and IW getting butthurt about anything.
-
Huh, the source must be wrong.
-
Which source?
-
Look at OP
-
ahhhhh gotcha :aok

I can't wait for MW3! This looks like it's going to be amazing, and keep us well entertainted until Infinity Ward finishes up there MW series. As a big fan of the CoD series (I have every CoD made so far :D ) I will be buying this the day ir comes out!
-
Ummm doesnt Activision own Treyarch and IW?
In all honestly Ive enjoyed the games when it was Call of Duty 2 and earlier. Each side had specific guns not this upgradeable garbage and each side can select any gun.
While Vietnam era will be interesting would like a WW1 era.
Looked Vietnam with the huts and hueys in that one scene, a SR71? Cant imagine how they will implement that into the game.
-
I love the CoD series...except never has a Treyarch product worked on any computer I have owned. Bought WaW, installed on old PC locked up during load. i followed all fixes...still locked up. Bought brand new rig this year with MW2 works great...installed WaW.....locked up. Treyarch spews crap with every release. Just wish IW was doing this version.....

I think it looked Vietnam, but what's with that futuristic room that it starts in? I think the game might be a flashback perhaps, or in an extreme case futuristic war fare, or perhaps aliens?
Just how would a WW1 game be played?
"Stands up"
"shoots"
"crouches down"
I don't think trench ware fare would be very fun. Perhaps a few take overs and defenses, but it can only go so far.
-
done with the COD series, last one was garbage
-
If its playable on Steam only I won't be buying it. Steam really screwed up the last one. Hackers EVERYWHERE.
-
People who say CoD is a disaster should just shut it... I understand it's not the most realistic thing ever as all you do is shoot at whatever moves, but you have to keep posting, "It's garbage."?
I'ts a game with its highs and lows. I find every CoD well made and fun, others may disagree, so be it. But please stop with the, "It's garbage.".

Actually it is made by Activision as Treyarch is fully owned studio of Activision and has been so for nearly 10 years. Don't kid yourself if you think Activision doesn't have any input during the development process.

thats why i like battlefield games, the Swedes at EA Dice dont care about any fancy American lawsuit, they just try to make a great game, which they do, and i respect them for that :aok

Yup. AGRcon was my friend when I ran a server. COD4 is genius.

same here, they had some release issues with the BFBC2 on the release, i didnt think they knew how big the sales were and the servers had a hard time carrying the load but they got it handled and fixed alot of the issues with an update patch, man i love that game its intense :aok

FYB i think it's garbage, that's my opinion think ton that hack filled game. don't like my opinion then just shut it and ignore me.

All of the CoD games for PC have had cheat hacks made for them within 24 hours of release...in a couple of instances within days after the demos were released...if you think otherwise, remove your head from the sandbox. With the exception of MW2 I have played them all and I still have insider info on what anti-cheat programs have been able to detect and what has yet to be found.
Since IW sold out (i.e. got money hungry) the CoD series has turned to junk...they and Activision used to have some principles (at least from what was presented to the public) but now, it's no better than the junk EA puts out.

Now that I have never had happen...I have the first four CoD games installed on 2 computers and never a single lock up. You probably had a driver conflict.

I'm talking in general. I just think it's a bit annoying hearing the, "It's garbage." from people like yourself.
Then you come in and tell me to shut it? Hell it's my opinion that people who say it's garbage should shut it, I'm even asking if you guys could stop repeating it, nothing more...
Any reason you pointed me out as if i had even been talking about you? I can assure you you're not worth my time in anyway possible.
Oh, and... It's my opinion that you're not worth my time, so shut it and ignore me.
-
Im going wait on getting it to know whether or not they actually change the PC version to make it an actual PC game. This last one was huge hurt on the PC version and imo its not worth getting if its going to be almost identical to the consoles.
The servers need to go back to its original size and put back the PC version's particulars back such as leaning.

Can tell you now, if activision makes it i'm not spending a penny on it. They destroyed call of duty.

Activision is no better than EA, it's one of the worst developers/studio/publishers to work for and never had any 'principles'.
"We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games." - Robert Kotick, President/CEO of Activision
At a conference in Germany, Robert Kotick stated he tries to promote an atmosphere of "skepticism, pessimism, and fear" in his company and, "We are very good at keeping people focused on the deep depression."
Personally, if I had a choice of working at either EA or Activision, I would pick EA without batting an eyelash.

It's Activision-Blizzard now. They also made a 10 year deal with Bungie, the developers of Halo. They're taking over the world.
I would rather work for HTC. :aok
-
I will not be buying it I just got BFBC2 and its a good multiplayer game. Been playing it without any issues recently unlike the whole COD games after COD 1-3...COD:MW was good for a while but became unplayable for me in a short term because of all the twitchy's and bunny hoppers.

I have to agree with you on that one. I've heard from some people over the years that EA is a good place to work, even though they use the Microsoft business model for PC game releases..."release it now, we can patch it later".
If Infinity Ward had maintained some autonomy and control over the development of CoD...it would be a better product.

I used to play the BF games (1942, Vietnam, BF2), but I quit a while ago after never finding any servers with people working together, and just gaming the game to new levels. EA, I gotta hand it to them, they know how to make fun games, but they have 2 major flaws that show in every game I ever played by them. 1 being the legendary EA Lag, that they can't seem to fix on their servers, and 2 being they have yet to seem to understand that AI intelligence is more important than how nice the game looks. Most of the time I'm fighting the enemy they're just standing in the open, all shooting at me, and not trying to flank. A good example of their AI is the first Bad Company. Haggard, Sweetwater, and Red never followed you, they just stood around until you got far enough ahead that they would warp to your current spot. Then when you're trying to sneak up on some enemies for stealth kills, one of your men just have to shoot at them.

I think Hidden and Dangerous 2 was the best FPS game for AI squad control. If you haven't played it, you can get it for free...single player is tough but fun.

Everyone else who dislikes the game is basically saying the same thing, the fact that i summarized it is a convenience. Nothing more and nothing less.

I loved COD4, I even still play COD1...MW2 just drew the line for us PC gamers. no dedi servers meant no being able to moderate our own servers. COD7 is going back to dedi servers meaning us who own/run our own servers can ban/kick hackers as they come in. I am 50/50 on this right now...going to wait to see how everything plays out.

I wont deny I am VERY good at COD, including CODMW2. I always have been. But CODMW2 was done horribly, you got one man army noob tubers, noob tubers, campers, sniper dweebs, commando runners. I mean its just stupid. I have not played CODMW2 in over 2 months, I have been playing BFBC2 semi often. And in my opinion EA took more time and put more effort into BFBC2 then Activision put in COD. As you can see Activision tries to get a COD out every year, when EA takes the time to make sure there are no glitches, hacks, bugs. Yet COD has a butt load of them, and they still haven't been fixed. Instead they worried more about getting their map packs out.
And HALO is one of worst games ever made, I dont want it on PS3.

I wish EA wuold fix the SP crashing. I enjoy SP. BB, I agree...in COD you have guys running around behind the spawn and they do it successfully...one man army. BC2 promotes squad tactics (even out of squad rush mode) and it is very hard to get ahead of the 'line' alone.
I mainly don't like the being able to hide yourself in MW2 as well as COD5. In COD4 it was nice because the only thing you could have was a silencer on your gun. You still showed up on radar when you had UAV...

Yes, BFBC2 is a lot more squad tactics. CODMW2 I run around alone all round and go 53-1 in a TDM...Also in BFBC2 you dont see people with a 53 K/S like me in COD lol. Cause you cant just run around, no health regen unless near a medic pack, and WAY more realistic damage from guns. And to tell you the truth, in BFBC2, I DO NOT consider using a 203 as a noob tube. Its not like with COD when you can shoot it like 500 yards and kill other team at spawn lol. Oh and Heart beat sensors... omg that was a mistake to put in the game.
PS: You got poo X-box or PS3 spike? ie: PS3 is mans system :)

No consoles suck ;)
I've noticed in normal rush BC2 many guys don't usually have more than 25 kills in a round, and it seems everyone gets a piece of the action...I only get about 10-15 kills a round.
In COD4 I liked Deathmatch on Crossfire and Creek and even with my lack of 'skill' in the game I still could get 100+ kills in a round once in a while.
I also agree with the noob tube in BC2...it seems less deadly and way less accurate...especially in HC since you don't have the markers on screen. I still will always stand by my statement that COD4 was the best COD (with COD1 in close second, of course) because it was very balanced. Sure, there was dweeby tactics such as dolphin divers and 203 spamming, martyrdom, last stand, but overall it was a genius base design and fun for all, when played on a server with admins.
Admining is a whole different story as well...I almost always left AGrcon up...the server of the community I was in was pretty relaxed...the thing that we hated most besides hacking was wall spamming through a wall in Broadcast with the LMG's.
-
Sniping also takes like 100x more skill. Its not like in COD with the little auto-trace crud. When your sniping like a mile away you have to know what your doing. In COD a 100 year old grandmother with one arm could snipe. Although thats the same as flying the spitfire :D

No offense Bob, but put down the crack pipe...EA does nothing to stop people from making hacks on their games, and they are as bad as any company for releasing games that are buggy.
Also, when you can snipe from across the map without a scope...then tell me how good you are at CoD.

In COD4 I loved taking the R700 with an ACOG and running around no-scoping with it. :) I got two for one a couple times. I also agree, EA takes just as long as Activision on patches and what not...their SP has been broken since the first patch and has yet to be fixed after 2 more.
BC2 sniping is pretty much the same...there are no ballistics involved just like COD4. Aim at the head from a mile away, you'll get a headshot.

LOL...EA takes time to make sure there are no glitches, hacks or bugs? Tell that to all of us that have been waiting for EA to fix the Medal of Honor series..Airborne is 6 months or so old and you can get it for $10 bucks in the discount bin. EA and most of their games have always been trash.

well at least they have some drop on rounds albeit it's generic for all, it's better than the Star Wars lasers in COD. I agree also on the commando that's about the stupidest thing I've seen along with the ridicules kills streak rewards, and the Heart Beat Sensor. When i did play I always used the cold blooded and ninja to avoid all that BS. Only been playing BC2 for 2 weeks but like it much better.

I am talking about bfbc2. Not moh.
And spike, bfbc2 has bullet drop. Idk how u havent noiced. If I fire about 3\4 of mile it does drop.

I don't snipe much TBH...but I can 'snipe' guys with the XM8 from across the map with a red dot...can't be too much bullet drop.

apparently the only weapons class where bullet drop comes into effect is recon.
but i ussually just "snipe" across the map w/ the M60 machine gun and the 4-power scope :t
but going back to the issue at hand, im actually glad that this game is activision/treyarch and not activison/IW because infinite wads (and thats not a typo :D) are just spending too much time crying about their money issues, while Treyarch is hard at work making a game that people are gonna love. like i said earlier, companies like EA Dice and Treyarch want to produce a game that the people are gonna love (i.e., on xbox live, COD WaW has i think 4 map packs, BFBC2 has 3 map packs- that are totaly free- while MW2 says they were gonna release new DLC's for Spec ops, but i dont think they are gonna do it.
who wants to bet that sometime in the next few months, Infinity Ward is gonna be out of buissness?
-
I really don't like Treyarch...but I'm gonna give em one last shot with this game...I loved IW before MW2...they really screwed up.
I don't think they will go out of business, but I bet they'll be hurting. They made a lot of money still off IW.

i agree. i used to hate Treyarch for completely screwing up COD 3, but i think they listened to all the criticism and put that into WaW, because we can all agree that it was a huge improvement over 3, and i thought that the Nazi zombie mode (while very gruesome) was pretty fun. id love to see them bring that back, if this is a Vietnam game, i think "commie-zombies" would be a blast! :aok

Or a hajji-zombies mode in MW2, one match team, as TF141, Rangers, or SEAL's, battles endless waves of zombies. Maybe even a little twist with a way to get out of the madness, like taking a series of objectives that exponentially increase in difficulty from Recruit to Hardcore (as in the match mode, along with no killstreaks).
Killstreaks should also be x10, so 30 for a UAV recon, 40 for a carepackage (nothing but predator missles, UAV's, and emergency airdrops)
I'm rambling here, so take it away and chew on the ideas.
