Corp. Warfare: Activision Calls Lawsuit 'Meritless'

[captaincharisma]

well here's hoping the new COD programmers know how to make a game for the PS3 better than IW. man what a mess that game was on the PS3

Darn, this is messed up. Looks like we won't be getting MW3 any time soon. On the other hand, the trailer for the new Metal of Honor looks promising.

"Disappointed" is the typical term used by the large companies when in court and wanting to express how much disagree with something but in nice language. AFACT (Australia's MPAA, with many of the same member corporations) used the same term when responding to the court ruling against them when they sued an ISP over copyright rubbish. They were "disappointed" with the courts decision to "jeopardise the jobs of thousands of film industry workers" (paraphrased).

On the topic of this article

[citation][nom]Activision[/nom]Activision remains committed to the Call of Duty franchise, which it owns, and will continue to produce exciting and innovative games for its millions of fans.[/citation]

Innovative? Call of Duty hasn't changed since the second instalment, and even then it was only the unlimited health that was truly different to the first. It's basically the same gameplay-wise throughout the entire franchise.

[citation][nom]edilee01[/nom]Sounds like they were fired to get them out of the way so another studio can produce MW3. MW2 is the first COD game I have played and even though lots of long time COD players don't like the absence of dedicated servers I know no different and it seems fine to me. This way it also bans cheaters/hackers from the game instead of just from a single private server. It also eliminated random kicking of people from private servers for invalid reasons. In the MoH series I would watch people get booted for absolutely no reason and it seems they just felt the need to kick one person per round just to get their rocks off.[/citation]
yea um dedicated servers have better banning software for one.
2 you get the 12 year old kids that use racism and inappropriate language kicked or banned
3MUCH better pings.
and a system that is designed to run servers not some 6 year old pos that cant hardly run the game hosting it... if i have a fps crack my pc can run that game at over 250 fps... yet im stuck at 60 and because of that we have knife glitchers and all sorts of other stuff going on that wouldnt happen with that bs

I tried MW2 the other day, and can't say it's a game I fancy buying!
Even on the i7-920 @ 3.8ghz the game seemed to lag, dipping frmo 60fps (vsync max) to 0-1 for brief periodes of time.

Work the algebraic equation along with me, my friends.
Activision + Blizzard + DLC Agenda + IWNET + Developer Firings + No Modding Community = Me Done with COD. You can't even vote kick in IWNET or vote for a new host... I've owned them all, now I'm done. I wish Bad Company 2 was better...

While the company showed enormous patience, it firmly believes that its decision was justified based on their course of conduct and actions.

hhmm...they just made one of the most popular and best selling games of the decade, the game was released a few months ago...I wonder what 'conduct and action' they could be talking about?
perhaps MW3 or another COD?
