Robert Bowling has all but revealed why he left Call of Duty, Infinity Ward and Activision following his sudden departure.
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
Guess he's tired of being limited to Call of Duty
Perhaps there was no innovations left for the franchise and he just got bored of regurgitating the same game in different clothing each time.
There's a genuine desire to be passionate about games again from what he said.
Take my hat off to the guy. Wanting to get further and create better things but the greedy companies want to keep pushing the same stuff out there! Good on you dude!
Bowling took years of bombardment from the world's most insanely rabid gaming fan-base. The job he did as community manager there, regardless of what you might think of the series, was gargantuan in helping Activision and Infinity Ward sell their product. He tirelessly replied and communicated to millions via twitter, taking the flak when Call of Duty was at its absolute worst despite not having directly developed the game in any way.
His outlook here is absolutely right. He must be more exhausted with Call of Duty than anyone on the planet, and that's saying a lot. It's indicative of the current player base for the game. Why limit yourself to just one experience?
Best of luck to Bowling in the future. The dude worked his ass off in a thankless role. He deserves a break.
It doesn't seem there are any hard feelings here, so it'll be nice to see where he goes from here.
