    Back in the summer, Heller said that Gearbox Software, developer of competing World War Two game Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, "wasn't even in the same league" as Treyarch and Activision. "We don't even think about them. They're not even a game we even think about when we're playing," he said. "We want to look at the games that do great storytelling. We don't want to look at someone who's just making a crappy war game."

    1. Strange lack of professionalism.

    2. I feel sorry for Blizzard.

    3. Activision.

    that being said, the new "gore" system is and takes everything what feels natural about Hell highway and throws it out of a 100 story building.

    Lack of professionalism on both sides. Activision owns the rights on the CoD franchise. It seems just logical to me that they advertise CoD 5 with the success of CoD 4. Sure they are milking the franchise to death but this is sadly how it often works in this industry.

    Even if the guy is a Douche as described by 402. Don't bite the hand that feeds you... Could aswell cost him his job. I lost my last job for less. Lesson learned. What you write on your private blog isnt really private if you are a PR guy for a big company in your work life. Always be careful.

    This new Activision Blizzard generally seems quite retarded.

    This new Activision Blizzard generally seems quite retarded.

    In comparison to this EA looks genuinely open minded about new concepts.

    I think Infinity Ward is a bit mad on COD5:WAW becose it's a bit crappy and it might hurt the title... I hope that COD6 will be great (em, I just know that ) and there will be no more COD's form other developers...

    A rule of thumb I like to use is…. when promoting your game. Promote YOUR game. Don’t compare it to another game, or reference what OTHER games did in the past, pitch YOUR game. I mean, you have lots of cool things you could talk about… like Nazi Zombies….

    I laughed!
