Activision did not want Modern Warfare

March 5th, 2010 admin No comments

I am more than happy to hear that Infinity Ward fought for these titles to be released. I do not know what heads over at Activision think that such a title would be a risk. What type of people are they actually asking or who was doing the marketing research to think that no one would want such a title? These guys should be instantly fired from the company.

Why? The outcome was fucking crazy, ignore Modern Warfare 2 sells for a moment and just take a look at just Call of Duty 4. Yup, not much a risk anymore was it Activision and now you are rich. Not many people want games of the past anymore. Everybody is loving Modern this and that. Examples: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Medal of Honor, Battlefield Series and others.

Former Infinity Ward bosses Vince Zampella and Jason West said last year that Activision never wanted to create a Modern Warfare title – and the studio had to “fight” to convince the publisher to let them create CoD4.

Zampella and West were sensationally ousted from their positions yesterday – after Activision security ’stormed’ Infinity Ward HQ in California. The publisher accused some Infinity Ward staff – thought to be West and Zampella – of ‘insubordination’.

But it appears disagreement between the parties was nothing new. In October last year, Zampella and West discussed their differences of opinion with Activision to OPM. West even said Infinity Ward had to “fight for everything” with their owners.

Zampella added: “Activision also did not want Modern Warfare. They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], ‘oh my god you can’t do that, it’s crazy!’ They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time,” he said.

Typical Game Scenario for Modern Warfare 2

February 12th, 2010 admin No comments

Here is your typical game scenario after inserting a copy of Modern Warfare 2 and playing online.

Infinite Care Package Glitch Fix Coming Soon

January 25th, 2010 admin No comments

Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling tweeted 10 hours ago that the Care Package, Sentry Gun and Emergency Airdrop Glitch has been fixed on the PC version. It has already been fixed on Xbox 360 and PS3 but only when the patch arrives on the consoles. There is no time estimate as to when though, this is still going through Microsoft’s Approval and Certification process.

fourzerotwo tweeted the following:

@NFunmaker That’s already been patched on the PC version and will be included in the next patch for consoles.

when NFunmaker asked the following:

@fourzerotwo you guys looking into the new unlimited care package/emergency airdrop glitch?

Another MW2 Patch on it’s way, PC patch out already

January 19th, 2010 admin No comments

The following updates have been issued to the Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC version of MW2. The PC version updates have already been released. There is no time frame as to when the Xbox 360 or PS3 will get them, expect the PS3 to get them sooner than the 360 though.

  • Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
  • Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
  • Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
  • Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and ‘elevators’.
  • Fix to prevent various XP hacks, including the prevention of obtaining negative XP.
  • Mouse latency tweaks for more mouse movement consistency. (PC-ONLY)
  • Fixes to prevent various texture hacks (PC-ONLY)

MW2’s Model 1887’s downgrade in the works

December 15th, 2009 admin No comments

KnownAsMclovin tweeted this on Twitter today:

@fourzerotwo Still loving the game! I mean, its amazing right now, but fix the 1887’s and private match glitches and it’ll be Perfect!

and Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling replied with the following:

@KnownAsMclovin Thanks man. Expect to have both of those resolved as fast as we can.

This is good news! Now I already know the 1887’s have good range in real life, but in the game, in many people’s opinions the range is just too much. Those that you hear different from, most likely are the kids using this weapon and will soon not be able to get those easy kills, easily.

Infinity Ward working on Private Match “Hack”

December 13th, 2009 admin No comments

Just 5 minutes ago Robert Bowling “fourzerotwo” tweeted this:

Working with the @infinityward team for a solution to the Public “Private Match” hack going on in #MW2 at the moment. I’ll keep you posted.

Glad to see them actually working on something, especially this. Since lately it seems to be every few matches you will get put into these, it was very common last night.

Now if only they could work on matchmaking better. I don’t know how many times that it picks a host that should not be host, when I or others should be host, see below:

One more week, just one more week…

In just one week from right now, Modern Warfare 2 is going to be here! (Obviously) The longest wait ever has finally been depleted to just 1 week finally.

We, team bRos, will be streaming live in High Definition HD all night of release, multiplayer mode. This will be continued throughout the week as well as Spec Ops. Links will be given out here once that night once we go live even though mostly everyone will be playing themselves anyways.

Game Winning Kill Cam? Awesome! otherwise, nothing new in this video and just a funny public service announcement for fighting against grenade spam. :P

Less than 2 weeks till MW2

October 27th, 2009 admin No comments

In less than 2 weeks we can all finally play Modern Warfare 2. So what mode will you be playing right away? Single Player? Spec Ops? or Multiplayer?

This time around we will be playing Multiplayer right off the bat. Last year I played Single Player first and beat it on Veteran within its first week of release then went to multiplayer. Only took almost 2 months to get 10th prestige too within 99% TDM matches.

I wish I would of played multiplayer before single player but I am glad I jumped in on single player first that time around. This time around, I prefer multiplayer and with all my friends.
