Ex Call of Duty and Dead Space boss Michael Condrey said that representation and inclusivity are a priority for his new studio at 2K Games. Telling stories of people from other backgrounds and point of views is important.
Michael Condrey has made violent games in the past, from Dead Space to Call of Duty: WWII, but he said he is torn about the latest Modern Warfare.
Coming from the person who got fired from his own studio not long before releasing their game due to it being a broken mess.
I’d take anything he says with a grain of salt.
Call of duty was/is a broken mess even before this guy. Haven't played cod since blops 1, got 4, and it's still the same crap. Imbalanced weapons, player lag, no consequences for playing poorly. You can litterally just spray nonstop until your ammo runs out, no recoil, no jamming, no overheating. You can jump, cartwheel, summersault and still hit opponents because of the crazy amount of autoaim and aim assist. The fact that cod is an esport game, is laughable.
And before you say, "maybe you just suck."
I have a 1.86 k/d and 18,000 more kills than deaths. The only reason my k/d is not as high as my k/d in other fps games, is due to the constant bullcrap deaths I experience. Like shooting someone seconds before they see me, and they kill me. Hitting someone directly in them 10+ hits, and they kill me with less hits. Or my favorite, shooting someone a million times, and they just run away, pop out, and kill me. A lot of the weapons don't even have to hit you directly, as long as you are within their radius, you'll die, one hit. I also love emptying my entire magazine multiple times on an opponent, just for him to run away each time, and finally kill me, when I'm out of ammo, or caught me while reloading.
Cod = garbage. Finally got tired of the bs today, and deleted it off my ps4 pro.
I regret reading the article, he sounds like the typical virtue signalling fruitcake bringing up mass shootings like they are even comparable to this game and obsessed with pushing his racist ideologies and goals against his own race.
"Activision owned studio SledgeHammer Games was in free-fall after two of their co-founders, Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield, left in early 2018."
Ive seen restaurants fall apart after a good GM or Manager leave, so its no surprise the leadership was lacking after their resignation. Sad, there was a lot of potential there.
Wow that sucks, now all we have is Treyarch and IW which are a shell of their former selves. Call of Duty is truly dying.
It's about time though. CoD went on much longer than I think anyone thought it would haha
With its sales and popularity in decline for years now. I didnt say it was dead, I said it was dying.
"With its sales and popularity in decline for years now. I didnt say it was dead, I said it was dying."
With that logic all planes that descend in altitude are "Crashing" People like you have been saying this for over a decade and it's still a billion dollar IP.
@blvdnights
Damn didn’t know there was actual people who still defend this terrible franchise.
@Sunny_D
I don't think that counts as "defending", just straight out facts. for example, BO4 reached new heights for Activision last year despite being online only. only GTAV and RDR2 have sold more units a year than any CoD game in the past 10 to 12 years. the franchise is not going to the ground (sales-wise) just because they fired Sledgehammer. IW and Treyatch are still the main devs for the series and I can't see CoD giving up the sales crown anytime soon.
I'm not a fan per say. last CoD I bought was CoD4 in 2007
@blvdnights1414
You didn't understand the logic yourself, or you just made a bad analogy. A plane in descent certainly is in danger of crashing *if the descent was not initiated by the pilots.* As with Call of Duty, Activision has no control over how many units it actually sells. If a plane is descending because it's preparing for a landing, then it's not "crashing".
IW hired back most of those who left for Respawn in the last 2 years. So other than Zampella and West, IW is basically back.
They have a long way to go down, they still haven’t been skipping a year ever. There comes a point where many customers will skip a year. There’s also fortnite now, huge game changer for shooters like it or not.
He keeps saying early 2020. But cod games always come out in oct/nov. and with the rumored MW4 coming this October, a early 2020 releases makes zero sense. I’m assuming he means October 2020. Which isn’t early 2020.
I think he's implying that by releasing in 2020 it's early as their release year would be 2021 because CoD developers release every 3 years with Treyarch, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer all developing games. That kind of threw me off too though. Definitely should have been worded better if that was his meaning.
I don't think the Kotaku report mentioned anything about Activision firing them, just replacing them next year since they couldn't get their shit together in time
Lol get rekt
LOL -burn
Lag Hammer worst COD devs ever.
If only he put as much effort into his games like that turd AW then he does going through trolls private pictures
belter lol
