I know, I said should. If they want to ruin a franchise that is already going downhill, which they will, let them. But if they want to just let it go and be praised for making one of most critically acclaimed FPS series ever, which they should, I'd like it better that way.

They just released Modern Warfare 2 which has sold for over a BILLION dollars and they're going downhill? Sure buddy, if that's a downhill, then that's one hill i'd love to ride down on.

I'm not talkin' sales, I'm talkin' quality of the games. Ever since COD4 the games haven't been that great.

Untrue. WAW was bland, but MW2 was pretty damn good. Not quite MW1 good, but what is?

I'm not saying that MW2 is a bad game, just not nearly as good as past games in the series. It doesn't suck, but it isn't great either.

Same here. Hopefully this will make more people realize that the people who make the games are more important than the publishers.

I just dont see how MW1 and MW2 arent great. I know personal taste are different but both are incredible. MW2 is so great online its not funny. If somebody isnt good at FPS, and Im not trowing stabs at anyone here I promise, i could see that it could be frustrating, but i do believe that anyone who puts the time in will get pretty good at it. My wife has proved this first hand, she started it and was horrible getting maybe 1 lucky kill to 20 plus death and withing two weeks she got her first Pavelow in a Care Package and called me at work cause she had a 15 kills and 4 death match and was estatic and now she averages around 10 kills a match. If you just try for nukes, then its annoying and frustrating though. I love both games!

I don't think I said anything about MW1 being "not great". If I did, I take it back, MW1 is fantastic. I'm just talkin about MW2.

Here is a really funny article that sums up perfectly how I feel about Activision, oh and NSFW: http://www.destructoid.com/how-activision-can-become-popular-...

Best article ever!! Starcraft vs Banjo Kazooie FTW!! I hope IW wins and Activision learns a lesson from this. Heck, I hope IW takes back the rights to the entire Call of Duty franchise.

I don't think that they are even fighting for the rights to the entire franchise. Just "Modern Warfare". So, I guess if they win, the games will just be called Modern Warfare _ instead of COD: MW_, that is, if they decide to continue with it if they win. If I were them, I'd just take the franchise away and never touch it again, just because it is a big money maker and Activision can't have it.

I dont know, maybe release a new one like every five years or so. I seriously dont want to not get MW3 in the future.

That's crap. If there were no publishers there would be no big-budget games. Yes, indie games would continue to exist, but no developer on its own could raise the money to produce a major release game.

This attitude annoys me. It's like the people that claim the film industry would be better without the production houses. Well, no, it wouldn't. No filmmaker has the money to create Avatar, or Transformers, or any number of other big budget movies that we all enjoy. The industry needs them.

Publishers aren't always the good guys (but then, neither are developers), but at the same time, they're absolutely vital for anyone who likes to play a game with a budget over a few thousand.

You've probably heard, but more of the leaders at IW left. IW is crumbling, I hope that Kotick has learned his lesson; You don't f*** with the people that make you money.

@WaltzElf I'm not completely ignoring that publishers take a role, but most people refer publishers as the sole reason why a game exists, which isn't true in any way. And besides, I prefer my indie titles, so HA!!!

Activision still owns the IP, and Treyarch is the one who does ports, so it isn't impossible, just unlikely. GameStop did leak something recently, though. Probably a mistake.

MW2 was terrible compared to the first MW so the world would be better without a hand-me-down version of MW2.
