Call of Duty: Black Ops – Who Needs Infinity Ward?

IGN: We know what you're thinking: seems like a pretty sensationalistic headline, right? After all, Infinity Ward has always stayed several steps ahead of stablemate Treyarch when it comes to creating Call of Duty games that both play better, and sell better. So how are things going to change?

yes it is a very sensationalist title, ign's gone down the shitter and back

Blaze9295070d ago

yeah I don't know what new editors IGN hired or of the old ones have just lost it but it's been apparent not for quite a few months how sloppy they have gotten.

NewNameNow5070d ago

Their teams is getting payed too much to do too little thats what

cLiCK_sLiCK95070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

Call of Duty did this, did that....who cares. I just want zombies.

Colonel-Killzone5070d ago

Call of duty will always be Call of duty doesn't matter if you change the developers. Only thing that makes this special I guess is zombies and thats it. Thats the only reason I hear a lot of people gonna purchase this game is because of zombies.

rezzah5070d ago

Its the only reason why so many people loved 5. Which wasnt even an original. And they know this so its why they are adding it (like you say, I really dont know).

The only origanl Cod games are 1,2,4,6. Everything else that you have seen or will see in the future will lack something only IW could do.

Johandevries5070d ago

You miss UO which was far more original than 2 and 6

Digitaldude5070d ago

x2.
Black Ops won't be that different to warrant a full price tag.
I'm sticking to BC2.

N2NOther5069d ago

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. You obviously have absolutely no idea what goes into making a game. The cost alone warrants a full price tag. It will have an all-new story, which involves development, voice talent, writing and so on. Then you have a new MP component that in case you're forgetting, cost nothing extra for gamers to play. These servers and such have to be maintained. The list goes on and on. Stick with BC2. No one will miss you. At all.

DeathProof5070d ago

I haven't heard anything about zombies, but the game does looks sweet, no doubt.

RXL5070d ago

and ill still be buying this game..because i still like having fun when playing video games

but that's just me

That day when Activision fired Jason and Vince

“Jason and Vince just got fired!” A lead artist shouted, as he rode in on one of the many small kick-push scooters that would typically lay around the studio. He quickly scooted away to some other part of the office space to spread that shocking message.

Activision would say that to all their victims. Here’s money now get over it.

RhinoGamer8870d ago

A friend worked there in production and was miserable due to working with IW and with ATVI. When he complained to his VP about it, he was told...be glad you have a job and are making games.

mastershredder70d ago

Sounds about right, but is also sounds like something Infinity Ward would say. They made their own bed and cashed in hard to do it. F em.

franwex70d ago

That sucks, but that’s corporate America. I mean, they could’ve turned down the money and leave to Respawn too. At least they got something, my corporation would’ve probably expected everyone to go back to normal.

"oh we're running ur life? pff get over it, like honestly"

scum

theindiearmy70d ago

I mean, if my company wants to give me a bonus and raise my salary by 50%, I'd get over whatever the hell they wanted me to. 🤷‍♂️

Another dev team for call of duty, like there isn't enough currently........ yayyyy

Well this atleast partly confirms yearly releases are definitely remaining, doubling down if anything.

Rynxie148d ago

That's what we need, two call of duties every year. I'm calling it.

Brazz148d ago

Hopefully, with more studios they can make better COD, 4h campaings are unacceptable.

Killer2020UK148d ago

🎉 Call of Duty Q1, Call of Duty Q2, Call of Duty Q3, Call of Duty Q4 🎉
