MP1st - "A few hours ago, we reported on the fact that PS3 paid Elite owners will have access to the DLC maps before regular 360 owners. While our report was based on the info provided by one of Activision’s own, Mikey Vega, it appears that he has pulled back his statement by deleting the tweet our report was based on."
Free for Playstation owners
Players are using hacks to gain an advantage in the game, such as aimbots and wall hacks. The first gives a player superhuman aiming abilities, while a wall hack lets you see through walls to gauge where other players are.
“These hacks are typically used by PC players, but those playing on PC via Xbox Game Pass are identified as Xbox players in multiplayer lobbies.”
This is pretty dumb to say the least.
Don't Gamepass online games have anti-cheat systems?
If not, that's pretty dumb. Microsoft need to fix that asap.
I mean, COD games was always filled with hackers, nothing new. I can’t blame MS on this. Activision had years to try and fix this. Might take MS some time to make some change.
The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report. Instead, Activision assured developers it was simply for internal concepts. That, of course, was not followed through. For what it's worth, per the PlayStation Store, 2,400 COD Points cost $19.99, meaning players potentially spent real-life money on a skin that was not created by an actual human.
As far as A.I. use goes across Activision, a source told Wired that 2D artists are utilizing A.I. to aid their work. That is a result of mass layoffs, in which many 2D artists were impacted. “A lot of 2D artists were laid off,” the source named Noah said. “Remaining concept artists were then forced to use A.I. to aid in their work.” Mandatory A.I. trainings have been implemented, according to Noah.
Activision. And MS. They will ruin console gaming forever.
Oh and where the FRIGGIN outrage people? When Sony makes a remaster of a masterpiece single player story driven game, they get roasted. But this, this, goes unnoticed? Then don’t complain that you aren’t getting enough single player story games.
"The Yokai's Wrath bundle was released despite previous guarantees by Activision that A.I. would not be used for final assets, per the report."
We're talking concept art? Because as of right now there's no way to generate a final 3D model with final textures. So the final assets don't use AI. That's not to say that it sucks for 2D artist that it's easier to generate visual ideas and build from them leading to less 2D artists needed (really sucks), but are they say the final concept art was completely AI generated and then 3D artists built from that? And yes, I'll pile on that Activision as a publisher and their developers I have experience with suck and they'll do whatever, ethics be damned.
Wow I can just imagine the likes of Activision, EA and Ubi etc having an army of AIs creating overpriced crap and the fanboys just lapping it up. I hope the AIs have a good union.
I understand why people think it’s good idea to Unionize to fight back against such things but it’s not. It’s a bad idea. It’s activisions wet dream to have these pumped out weekly by some AI. Protect your neck!
If I don't get DLC earlier than normal 360 users I swear I'm never buying a COD game ever again. I'll sell Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops and go buy Battlefield 3.
i hate this 1month crap with the dlc on 360 if i pay for elite on ps3 why should i have to wait!!!!!
i hate this 1month b4 everyone else crap with the dlc on 360 if i pay for elite on ps3 why should i have to wait!!!!!
big deal your getting the same garbage as always in the DLC. in the end your getting ripped off except only a month later
I suspect the DLC will come out on 3 days:
1st day 360 COD elite users
2nd day (1 month later) 360 regular/PS3 COD elite
3rd day (1 month later) PS3 regulars
meaning in total they PS3 guys without elite have to wait 2 months which really sucks.
I don't think any users 360 or PS3 should have to wait 2 months to get the same content.
Sure BF3 users on 360 had to wait a bit....2 WEEKS, as painful as that was for some, the COD-side looks like it will be far less fair.
Those like ZippyZapper above saying PS3 COD fans shouldn't complain because they got BF3 content early are just being dicks, total freaking dicks.
PS3 owners never asked for BF3 content early or extra Dead Space 2 content or whatever, but Sony thought they too should try to do some stuff like this because everybody's favorite gaming company Microsoft started this exclusive DLC shit in the first place and PS3 owners were only on the loosing end.
