A Conspiracy

Has anyone ever considered the ridiculous possibility that (Modern Warfare 2) was actually a premeditated "silent rebellion" type of thing by Infinity Ward since the very beginning?

Anyone who's played MW2 can agree, there's a ton of imbalance in it. Tactical insertions that lead to boosting, unlimited grenade launchers that were too strong and some near-godlike killstreaks. It was just too much. Did IW really give that much attention to the balance of these weapons? Oh, did I mention how outclassed handguns are in comparison to other secondaries?

Intentional???!!!

There's also all the weirdness going on with MW2's storyline. So many plot holes and questions come up when you actually sit down for a few minutes and examine the plotline. Russia's suddenly awe-powerful again. Nikolai is a self-appointed chauffeur. Price survived? How did he get captured? (Why is his hat always perfectly poised on his head?) What the fuck is up with Shepherd? He was in cahoots with Makarov, then he backstabbed Makarov? How did he manage all that without being caught?

There's so many things that have been clouded by oversight to just dismiss it as simple mistakes. Did IW really care as much as they did for this game? Or were they fed up with Kotick and Activision that they decided to put less work into MW2 than they should have?


It could be possible.

FPS FTW

Bungie, developers of the god-like Halo series have begun work on a new multiplatform(that means PS3! too) franchise to be published by Activision.

They have started making some progress with the new game and are going to develop a game engine more powerful that is going to put Halo : Reach's to shame. Or so I hope.

It will definitely be a FPS of some sort and I hope it's still within the sci-fi genre because Call Of Duty is already set in present day/ historical war times.


All this hype over shooters a bit too much? Action games, particularly shooters have been linked to sound decision making.

A study has shown that first person shooter gamers excel at probabilistic inference, making fast and accurate decisions based on any evidence from surroundings.

Strategy and RPG gamers however, are found to be lacking in that expect. In your face, saying that FPS are just point and shoot.
