Sweet! DLC down the road. I'll be playing this game till the Fall.

Wait a second, so Heller won't be able to transform to an armored form in Prototype 2?

Eiffel4759d ago (Edited 4759d ago )

I think it would have been a rather redundant choice to bring it back given the new shield covers most of your body.

fallacious4759d ago

Good point, but still I would've liked to have an armored option. Mercer looked so badass with the armor in Proto1.

Eiffel4759d ago

I won't argue, when I heard it wasn't gonna make a return I felt kinda sadden by it, the armor certainly made you feel like a freak of nature fighting the military.

There's always DLC, part of those Radnet challenges do evolve new skins, here's hoping.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince198167d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

Activision Donates One Million To The L.A. Fire Relief

Activision has announced a one million dollar donation to L.A. fire relief.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH106d ago

Nicely done Activision. Every penny counts. My family is in one of the areas that burned down so any and all donations are appreciated.

Garethvk106d ago

Exactly. Cynical people say; well their worth billions it is just a tax and p.r. move. Sure but how many major companies have not given a penny? Amazon, Meta, Musk and his ventures, etc.

blacktiger106d ago

Dude relax, it's all inflation money

Michiel1989106d ago

but they cant put out the dumpsterfire thats their company, ironic

Garethvk106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

They would hary be the first company with problems but at least they are willing to make a donation unlike ma y others.

goken106d ago

Donations during are much needed, and should be applauded. Every bit counts.
But for context… individuals like Beyonce donated $2.5m, Jamie Lee Curtis $1m

Also there was an interesting donation incident during the China Henan floods. Erke the Chinese sports brand was seeing RMB60m (about $8.5m) losses during the 1st quater of 2021. Despite that donated RMB50m (about $7m) for the henan floods that year. The Chinese public upon learning this, worrying about Erke’s survival and showing appreciation, started to purchase Erke products en masse. As a result Multiple Erke shops ran out of stock, the erke live stream sales in 2 days exceeded the company’s sales for the first half of 2021.
