Treyarch is Officially COD's B-Team

If you haven’t heard by now, Treyarch and Activision stand accused of delivering a shoddy version of Black Ops for PS3 owners. Adding fuel to this controversy is the “Xbox Live Party Chat” error in the latest patch. With this, [we] think we should call it: Treyarch is Call of Duty’s B-Team.

Well i don't play COD alot but when i do. The game plays just fine. The problem is some people be playing the game for hours and i guess they get errors. Play 1-10 matches a day. I don't understand how people could play more than that. I usually get bored. Also Xbox party chat was disabled for a reason. If you played gears of war 2, you would know why.

[smoothdude]

I can't believe that we are still talking about this!

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

What people do not understand is that its obvious that black ops was rushed to meet its november deadline. If they had another month or two everything would've been good on the Ps3 Version.
You can blame activision for this

Also in my opinion World At War was the best Call of Duty. I just loved Ww2 :) But yeah im finished with Cod series, Black ops ruined it for me. Sold the game 1 week after release. (great storyline though)
For the next cod they better update the gameplay a bit or i will not buy it. Cods only a Run n Gun game and its gotten boring.

@above Look at Treyarchs other titles. If they were to make this game live up to MW2 then it wouldnt even be released this year, that studio would of needed a lot more time. They never built anything on their own, they always use other studios and build off that. Its a given fact and its a fact that proves they are a B team and not a leading team. When has COD ever changed with their title? Never its always IW.

That being said beinga B team and never building their own game from the ground up, its obvious why the issues cant be addressed. They simply dont know what to do. I blame Activision for wanting y early titles and making Treyarch look bad, but still both parties are to blame. Treyarch wanted the money just as bad.

[AndrewRyan]

I feel bad for developers getting forced by Activision to meet the deadline for every call of duty game.

[Sizzon]

Was Xbox Party Chat disabled in this 1.06 patch?

[malandra]

this might've been news like 2 years ago, but even then every gamer already knew it

[FishCake9T4]

Yep.
The reason Cod became so popular is because of IW.
COD 1
COD 2
COD 4 - The main reason it became so popular
MW2 - A Youtube culture of watching Call of Duty games went mainstream.

[Maximus Corruptor]

I want Infinity Ward back Activision!....nnnooowwww!!!!

[LoaMcLoa]

After MW2? Heeeeell no!

[R2D2]

AHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHA - Back of the bus for you TreyArch.

[PatchowPietro]

The game is still better than MW2 however. Shame PS3 owners get ****ed

[Pixelated_Army]

That's what I thought at first but after a couple of months of playing
BlOps yeah, no... MW2 still has the edge over BlOps. I sold my copy of BlOps already and like I said I don't miss playing it one bit.

And no the hacking issue hasn't affected me because I applied the hack to my copy of MW2 and only play in matches where I'm host.

Infinity Ward never had any of the issues we're currently experiencing with Treyarch. They truly are a second rate studio and they've proved this by not being able to fix these same damn issues for over three months now....fucking ridiculous.

[RedRedSuitSDF]

I don't know how it can be the B- team. Maybe just the PS3 and PC are the B- platforms to play COD BO on. I have had nothing but great times playing the newest COD on my 360, and for me and my friends, it's been the best COD since part 4.

Sucks for those of you with only a PS3, or play only on PC. Multi console ownership, FTW!

edit.. @venom... i said.. "maybe just the ps3 and pc.." Maybe being the key word. Funny how some dude with a site is saying his opinion is fact calling Tryarch the B- team. I'd like to see this guy create a video game who wrote his little article.

[VenomProject]

lol @ PS3 and PC being "B" platforms.

I lol'd so hard.

[DeathMetal1474]

actually have games in Hd unlike the xbox.

[Oldsnake007]

yes I loved GTa4, RDr, and MGS4 on my ps3 . awesome HD games.. ow wait....

[AllroundGamer]

C-team more likely...

[Simco876]

Just another example why CoD needs to take a year off. People are getting pissed.

Its easy... take a year off, come out with an amazing game since you have more time. Its not like Activision doesn't make money. They have WoW and Guitar Hero..

Come on... take a year off and make an amazing game

[theonlylolking]

If I was the CEO of activision I would be so embarrassed by treyarch that I would fire them all.

[Nicaragua]

The ceo of activision does that kind of thing for giggles anyway.

[Da_Evil_Monkey]

The CEO of Activision doesn't give a damn if Treyarch screws up, as long as he get his money.

[InTheLab]

Treyarch has always been a B-Team dev. Look at their library of games. All of them inherited from better devs.

I'm actually shocked they didn't ruin the 360 version as well.

[guigsy]

"That’s the equivalent of working at a waiter in a restaurant and bringing a bacon and fried-cheese burger to a lactose-intolerant vegan."

Is it really? Is a message that has no effect on gameplay whatsoever really the equivalent of this? And then he complains that an apple, a minute part of the scenery that's barely even noticeable, gets stuck in mid-air!

This article officially takes nit-picking to a new level.

[HINDERIZATION]

treyarch is the tue defenition of "copy + paste"

[AllroundGamer]

sorry, but they can't even copy+paste :D

[HINDERIZATION]

ill agree with you on that. they just end up eating all the paste anyways lol

[jpod]

Black Ops does some things better than MW2 but too many issues. Killstreaks not counting towards killstreaks is a good thing, making the harder killstreaks makes it more worth while, is one example. Tho getting the good killstreaks in a care package is not fun at times ;P
Just gotta fix snipers! It's getting there.

[EVO-OM3GA]

I like them getting good killstreaks in care packages, I remember stealing an enemies care package he got attack dogs he must of been pissed cause I used them on him lol.

Treyarch did alot of things well, but:

*They made the Maps alot smaller than that of World at War

*Spawn points were random and often found you directly behind the guy who killed you or infront

*The hit markers in the game at times didnt make sense and sometimes it would take an entire clip to kill an enemy and for them a few shots

*They didnt fix the whole connecting to players thing that trouble World at War, I'm always getting disconnected from the party I'm in.

*Why did they ruin the SPAS *cries*

P.S I love the sniping in MW2

[jpod]

I love sniping in MW2 too. Only reason I go back to MW2 is to snipe.

[EVO-OM3GA]

Hey dude if you on Live send me your addy, we can play some games its always good to have another sniper on my team :)

[jpod]

I don't have a 360. My last two have died on me, so I'm on PS3 only now.

[Zinc]

F Troop.

[Buho]

I miss IW, they made the BEST Call Of Duty games.

[ironcreed]

"Treyarch and Activision stand accused of delivering a shoddy version of Black Ops for PS3 owners."

Yeah... guilty as fucking charged.

[--------]

Yeah, I've always known this. Let's face it, Treyarch just don't make good games. If you're a Treyarch fan-boy then fine, But Call Of Duty 3 was appalling, WAW was mediocre at best, and Black Ops...well, don't even get me started on Black Ops. I'm far from an Infinity Ward fan-boy, but Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is greatly accepted as the best game in the series, and I'm inclined to agree. If I ever see their name on another game title again, I'll just point and laugh, and feel sorry in advance for anyone who plays their games. Of course, I'm sure Treyarch will make any future title an Xbox exclusive, you know...to save themselves 5 minutes (probably how long it took to port Black Ops to PS3)

[x800]

TreyArch one of my last devs i will buy a game from!

[montavious]

Or more accurately the PS3 is the B console to begin with...keep denying it all you want haters doesn't make it any less of a fact.

[MeNoRasta]

There is no such thing as a "B" console.People who say that i dont say they are gamers just someone who worship plastic.

EDIT: Let me get this right, TreyArch is now classed as a cod B team because they messed up on one system so does that mean i can call squaresoft a B class developer because they kinda messed up on there latest ff game on the xbox?
Fan boys to the next level dont you think?

[earbus]

i love treyarch bond was wicked whinge on .

[rlm41]

PS3 owners are the biggest whingers on the planet..

[DFresh]

No we demand quality.

I don't think there's nothing wrong with that.

PC/Wii hardcore gamers do the same thing.

I'm surprised gamers on the Xbox 360 aren't demanding quality from Microsoft.

Instead of bragging about XBL maybe you guys should demand more exclusives.

Just saying.

:D

More gamers need to stand up and make developers progress more by asking for quality games and voting with their money.

[DFresh]

Call of Duty was fun for a while but now it's like those developers don't even try anymore to make good games.

Greed is just another downfall to a fun franchise.

COD1/COD2/COD4 = Epic!

COD: MW2/COD: WAW/COD: BO = Epic Fail!
(Come now the balancing in these games are just horrible. Let's not forget the crappy spawns in Black Ops.)

Screw it Infinity Ward went from being a B developers to now being a C developer.

Treyarch went from being a C developer to now being a D developer.

[BI0RAPTOR]

I play on the Xbox360 as this is the only console I own.
I wish I could afford a PS3 although bill`s need to be pay`d and little mouths to be fed.
Anyhow my point is I feel for the PS3 & PC gamers who bought BOP`s.
I feel that Activison or Treyarch should be hold responsible for producing such a shabby almost Beta game for these gamers who fill there pockets.
Like someone mentioned 3 months on and still the same problems are accruing for the gamer`(s).
Both party`s show little perfectionism.
Also while the 360 may not suffer the bigger problems as the other`s it does have it`s share.
Going into games with pore latency & hit detection,and occasional frame rate drop.
It gives the impression that we are going backwards rather then forwards with the COD series.
(Opinion)

[megamold]

you guys just figured this out now? seriously?
i knew this the moment i played cod:wow

i just laughed when they announced cod:bo
