If you're sick of hearing about the fuss surrounding Infinity Ward's fallout with Activision, spare a thought for the developers over at Treyarch. They've got to listen to it all too, and they have the added responsibility of making the next Call of Duty.
Infinity Ward's relationship with Activision imploded spectacularly earlier this year when the mega publisher sacked Vince Zampella and Jason West - the creators of Modern Warfare.
But studio head Mark Lamia maintains that the recent kerfuffle has had no major effect on the forthcoming Black Ops.
At Activision's showcase event this week, Lamia was asked if events at Infinity Ward has added to Treyarch's responsibilities.
"No, in short, because I think we already had that [pressure]," replied lamia. "Long before anything that's happened over there, our mindset was already at that level."
Modern Warfare 3 Ranked Play will be arriving sometime in the middle of Season 1. Treyarch is once again handling development of it.
I'll bite.
I don't min/max or alter controller schemes anymore because the default options suit me fine aside from aiming sensitivity, which was freakishly low on default.
But the matchmaking system still does that dissemble-reassemble which I hate and knew that my following games after my first overall score would increase In difficulty, i.e. drop shotters (many more examples)
You've got this ranked play but you have this spm scale that throws you against the sweatwall of hell (2 good games>1 bad game)

Just 24 hours following the Modern Warfare 3 reveal, former Treyarch Studio Design Director David Vonderhaar has announced he’s stepping away from both the Call of Duty studio and Activision.
Call of Duty development, what's that? They just make the same basic game and keep adding more and more MT's
He's a developer in one of the most successful franchises and works from Activision, do you know the benefits you get working there? Or the pay?
Half of the peasants on this site don't understand developers are humans and are working mostly for necessity like the rest of us
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
right
I'm surprised they haven't made a single remark about Infinity Ward or MW2 in any of the interviews I've seen..
It seems like they KNOW everyone likes MW2 and so are catering to them by sugarcoating the game with a cold war feeling to make it look like it's still a whole different game......
When it's not.
