NickRad Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Link to the article In Real LifeCall Of Duty Giant Suing Rival Over Modern Warfare Meltdown, Paints Uglier PictureretweetBy Stephen Totilo on December 22, 2010 at 1:00 PMThe nasty lawsuits between Call of Duty publisher Activision and the ousted lead creators of that hit series franchise just got uglier with accusations that the makers of Modern Warfare gleefully sabotage the sister studio behind this year?s Call of Duty: Black Ops ? and that the president of rival EA was instrumental in trying to ?hijack? the Call of Duty developers. Not really feeling sympathy for both parties but I do hope EA win Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/465726-activion-suing-ea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsuo2501 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 This has been going on for a while now, and yet nothing ever comes out of sh*t like this. All the developers end up doing is using stupid nonsense like this to get free publicity for their games. Look at Grand Theft Auto 3, and San Andreas. CNN, and Fox News practically sold millions of copies of those games just cause they wouldn't shut the f*ck up about them. Same thing is going to happen here; notice the name dropping in the titles? This kind of mess is a marketers wet dream. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/465726-activion-suing-ea/#findComment-1060258191 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder. Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 If there claims of what West and Zampella did are true then they kind of deserve what they get, what they did was a pretty dick move. This suing sh*t is getting ridiculous though. A contract is a contract, you have to honour it once signed even if you don't like it.

CryptReaperDorian Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I really hope EA wins despite them trying to take over Take-Two a while back. What games does Activision have? Call of Duty? That's lame. Atleast EA has Battlefield (yeah I just did it) which I can proudly call a game series.

Ash_735 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 EA are great these days, a lot of people hate on them for stuff they've done in the past but in recent years they've helped a lot of developers, even to the point where they rescued whole teams from Activision themselves, companies like Double Fine and of course most of those who left Infinity Ward. Tech wise EA are brilliant, always looking for ways to improve the engines they invest in, unlike Activision who STILL use their old game engines from 2007 to release games without any major improvements.

mystk Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I think the issue with Activision's engines is that they don't have the incentive to develop better engines. Take MW2 for example, the graphics are really inferior compared to some of the newer engines, and yet it has sold way more copies than it's nearest competitor (with a much better engine) BC2. So the issue is lack of competition. Other devs need to push harder, a lot harder. Oh and I wouldn't mind a game which has okay graphics if it had good gameplay, but MW2 doesn't have either .

Adam Jensen Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I think the issue with Activision's engines is that they don't have the incentive to develop better engines. The issue with Activision is the lack of vision. They focus on sequels and they don't give a f*ck about innovations. They stick with old sh*t as long as they can and when it becomes unprofitable they get rid of the entire studio. They are a virus on gaming industry.
