Activision happy with Infinity Ward “reconstruction”

Activision chairman and CEO Jean-Bernard Levy has said the firm has put any concerns it had after the Infinity Ward departures in the past thanks to the grand success of Black Ops.Speaking at the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference this morning, Levy said he believes the company can replicate this success with Call of Duty titles every year, reports IGN.“The Treyarch studio, which made this year’s game, has done better than what the Infinity Ward studio could achieve a year ago,” said Levy. “We have reconstructed Infinity Ward. We have been very happy with the way we have been able to reconstruct it.“We also have a third studio which was created about a year-and-a-half ago called Sledgehammer, which is working on Call of Duty properties. We believe this set up of studios working on Call of Duty has demonstrated it can do very well.”Black Ops broke the re

I'm Curious to see how Respawn's first game for EA turns out. Furthermore, MW2 was a disappointment for me, felt like it needed at least another 6 months of Dev. time. At this point Activision could sell Sh1t in a box, as long as it says COD on the cover. There gonna sell a few million copies. Though like Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk, its just a matter of time till...

I blame Acti for all the MW2 bugs/glitches etc IW was forced to have the game ready by a specific date, which meant no time to properly test the game.

Don't believe me? Check the court documents in the case between West & Zampella V Activision

Argh. Just thinking of them rehashing the same shit every year gives me a migraine. At this point I have thoroughly lost interest in COD. Very low on my list of potential purchases.

Still pretty angry with how Activision basically stole the creator's franchise and made them seem like the enemy. Bit the hand you fed from. But nobodies going to notice the lack of new engine and the same one from 3 years ago made by IW, are they?

You'll probably find that it'll be told in the future that the reason that both heads were escorted out is because they were being asked for the name to be milked by a mix up of developers in such a way and they wanted to hold onto the name.

"“The Treyarch studio, which made this year’s game, has done better than what the Infinity Ward studio could achieve a year ago,” said Levy."
