The Tester's Notebook: Of Stuck Spots, Zone Popping and Freezes (1)

Luis Levy: "The Tester's Notebook will be a series of posts based on real-life notes taken during the development of Treyarch's Call of Duty 3. The title is "loosely based" on Ernest Adams' outstanding columns and website The Designer's Notebook.

I was in the Call of Duty 3 multiplayer team from May 2006 until November 2006 – from Alpha to Gold and beyond. We were 10 to 14 production testers at Treyarch's headquarters in Santa Monica, CA.

Although I currently work in tech and game PR, I'm proud of the work we did in COD3. The MP is still fairly popular in Xbox Live – even going against Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and COD5… And fun as hell :)

I'm sure these notes will be a great help to those interested in becoming game testers and anyone with an interest in game development."
