Call of Duty 7: Black Ops
- Thread starter Dark Sun
- Start date
It's developed by Treyarch therefore I'm interested - W@W and United Offensive were both awesome
Yes but they also made COD 3 & 5 the worst two games in the series. Therefore I predict it will be rubbish

MW2 wasn't *that* bad !
I never bought world at war and MW2 sucked, I will 100% not buy it on release, if the reviews are good, it has dedi servers, it has the embassy siege, other people rave about it here, then yeah I might buy it, I want them to update their engine though kinda getting dated but I guess Infinity Ward might do that next year
Activision will still be publishing it and they're the ones that really screwed the game, so it makes no difference whether it's IW or Treyarch developing it.
I beg to differ, managed to catch two people aimbotting on the weekend and no way to stop, kick ban etc.
Good side of things is that I was not the only one noticing.

ah man this sounds rubbish
really liked the idea of a nam game
this is the usual trearch rubbish of hopping about all over the place with no regard for storyline, characters or structure
seems like they just brainstormed cool ideas for levels and stuck it all in one game

I don't think that it will sell that well. MW1 was an awesome game, and resulted in a lot of hype for MW2. But MW2 just wasn't that good, and I think people's excitment about the series has waned considerably.
ofc being cod, it isn't exactly going to sell badly either. I just don't think that it will be anything like MW2.

Lol, i think you underestimate the power of hype on morons. It doesn't matter what is in CoD7, the sheep will buy it on release no matter what.
No proper multiplayer, IW.net, pathetic/Non existing matchmaking - LOL
Yes, definitely playing to a platforms strengths there.

lmao. They are in so much denial. They didn't just upset a small "army" of pc gamers, they upset pretty much every pc gamer.
Idiots.
Hopefully they add a mode in there that strips away all the stupid kill streaks/death streaks/helicopters/nukes and all that other bs that ruined mw2.
I'll wait for reviews - if Treyarch can pull off something special, give the SP a storyline that makes sense, support the PC community (this means both dedicated servers AND modding support with no lockouts) and provide updates and new maps for free instead of "high-margin content" that's actually old maps rehashed, then I could be tempted back.
IW are a subsidary of Activision so yes they can fire them
Big lawsuit over it so wont find out what happened until it goes to trial, only pure speculation as to what could have happend for now.
Most of the speculation is based around Call of Duty obvious, there was problems when Activision said they wanted one a year, IW said no so they gave the development of 3 to someone else. There is also some talk that IW were happy with this as long as they were only ones allowed to develop games based after the vietnam war.
Further problems flared up when World at War was released, IW didnt like the way it was marketed and how Modern Warfare was being used to sell it. Following on from this for Modern Warfare 2 IW dropped Call of Duty from the title, it was eventualy forced upon them to use it but its here where things get juicy.
IW wanted the Modern Warfare name, they understood the name was owned by them not activision along with all the IP that goes along with the games. Now this may not seem important as its thought Activision own IW, technically they do but then again they dont. Think of it the same as Microsoft and Bungie, MS owned them but they were still a company in their own right when the time was right Bungie decided they didnt need/want microsoft anymore and went their own way. It seems like IW were thinking of doing the same thing.
It is believed Zampella and West had been invovled with discussions with other publishers about a deal that would see them leave Activision and thats why they got fired. Now I know this doesnt make sense, if IW were planning to leave Activision how would they keep the name and IP? as IW are a subsidary of Activision they would have to buy themselves out of the deal to get their freedom, only after they bought themselves out would they be legally able to other publishers.
But looks like Activision knew this was coming, and have apparently not paid anyone at IW royalties for MW2. Now this money is believed to be what was going to be used for a management buyout. Its also the reason no one else from IW has walked out, they cant afford to.
And so we go to the courts, West and Zampella want their money and Modern Warfare, interestingly Activision are yet to counter sue which is normaly the done thing when something like this happens. Its going to drag out though, the case management conference is set for sometime in June, and in that they just talk about how when the trial is going to take place and how long to schedule it for. And then there could be appeals as well, so MW 3 for 2011 is very unlikely
Of course all the above could be ********, until it hits the courts only Activision, west and Zampella know for sure and none of them are likely to start talking anytime soon
