Security Appears Unannounced At Infinity Ward
When your involved in Corporate America, the sight of large strangers showing up at your company can mean only one thing, somebody is getting the boot. And today at Infinity Ward it seems the boot went to Infinity Ward CTO Jason West, who along with studio head Vince Zampella, met with the brass from Activision this morning. And I don’t think it was to talk about the next installment in the Call of Duty series.
Can Infinity Ward Save MW2 with DLC?
We were all prepared for what was being called not the next big thing, but the thing. After Trey-Arch had finished up and brought out Call of Duty World at War, we all knew it was Infinity Ward’s turn again and the huge undertaking it would take to top Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare is one of the greatest shooters of all time and has sold millions of units since it’s launch. It was the defining game of the Call of Duty series. Question was, what was Infinity Ward going to do to top all of that? And could they?

MW2 Players Rejoice
That’s right Boosters and Hackers, your days are numbered and you may have to do the unthinkable soon. Actually be good at the game. Announced by Infinity Ward today, the Care Package Patch is up and running for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Gamers have been complaining that Infinity Ward and Activision were taking way too long with this update. Game play has become almost impossible in the last few weeks due to the Infinite Car Package Glitch. So Sandy Ravage, you can take a few days off until the next glitch is up and running. Here is the list of improvements and fixes made by Infinity Ward that was reported by Robert Bowling aka FOURZEROTWO:
Activision | Blizzard 4th Quarter Earnings Call Highlights
For those of you unaware, Activision and Blizzard merged and became one company. That company is called Activision | Blizzard.
With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 dubbed “the largest launch in entertainment history”, World of Warcraft maintaining its position as #1 subscription based MMORPG, and numerous franchises like Guitar Hero, Diablo, DJ Hero, and Starcraft all under one umbrella, it is no surprise that this company is sitting pretty. In fact they are the top third-party publisher in the United States and EU. What I really want to know, as a owner of Starcraft, Warcraft, Modern Warfare 2, Diablo 2, and perspective buyer of future Activision Blizzard titles, is what are their plans for the future? What will they do the same as usual and what will they do different?
Prepare yourself to go deep into the corporate mind of Activision | Blizzard as we sit in on their Fourth Quarter ‘09 Conference that was held today where it was revealed that not only has ‘09 been a great year for the company but many of their specific plans for 2010 solidify their successful position going forward as well. It should be noted that the statements made are not set in stone as they are referring to the future and may change at any time, however I still feel some perspective has been gained from this conference on the future of not only the Call of Duty and World of Warcraft franchises but also Guitar Hero, Starcraft, DJ Hero, and True Crime franchises.
It may seem a tad on the dry side at first glance. We probe deeper beyond the large numbers showing tons of money earned. We find more numbers breaking down 200 million estimated potential customers by December 31st 2010 in US and EU across PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and handhelds. Then we begin to find the voice of the company which praises Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s success and credits the “excellent game quality, retail and marketing execution, and favorable competitive environment” for that success. One thing gamers already know is that Activision plans to continue releasing 1 or 2 Call of Duty games a year. The conference echoes this sentiment once further but furthermore states a planned “selling in” to the largest franchise audience to date. Does this mean they will start putting Nazi zombies in every Call of Duty out there, and listen to many other fan recommendations soon? It seems likely, or did they simply commit a typo and mean to say “selling out”. Only time will tell. With a arguably fair sized chunk of Call of Duty fans are steamed the next two games in the franchise are already in progress, this could also be an opportunity for Activision to give those same fans the innovation they’ve been demanding.
In the world of Guitar Hero and DJ Hero games, it must feel good up there at top of the music genre in gaming. DJ Hero is the most successful new intellectual property of 2009, and it should be no surprise that there will be more Guitar Hero and DJ Hero games this year. Activision is taking the hint from fans by reducing the number of different music games they put out and instead broadening the audience to each one.
World of Warcraft, with an estimated 11..5 million subscribers, is being innovated in many ways this year. Innovations to the Battle.net communications capabilities that will allow cross-communications across World of Warcraft realms, as well as other current and future online games, will give Blizzard fans a way to get in touch even they don’t agree on which Blizzard game is the best! World of Warcarft: Cataclysm expansion is planned to innovate the game in many ways that will benefit veteran and new players alike. Activision | Blizzard is also planning to release the Wrath of Lich King expansion pack to World of Warcraft in China soon.
As far as StarCraft II goes, it’s coming! It will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated PC exclusives of all time and deliver over head strategy junkies an everlasting fix as well as continue the religion that is StarCraft. Blizzard is expecting massive growth from this game and are releasing it on disc as well as digitally distributing it via download on the Battle.net site. There are a plethora of reasons this game will be immensely popular to gamers of all walks, but one of the unique features I’m personally interested in is the built-in capability to sell and buy user-created content. This means that making your own content to StarCraft II will not only reward you with potentially infinite replay value, but also might make you a little video game cash on the side! Definitely a title to look out for if you have any PC RTS (Real-Time Strategy) gaming skills whatsoever, or are a hardcore gamer interested in making some maps for cash with what will hoepfully be a legit, hassle-free system.
Last but not least Activision | Blizzard talks about its plans to release “new and exciting” downloadable content, especially for its popular Call of Duty franchise! With such a forward looking company strategy and the idea of selling in to fans ideas a major possibility, could we be on the verge of a rebirth for the Call of Duty franchise via unexpected original DLC and installments? Maybe we are in for something new from the top shooter on the market, instead of being fed more of the same old, same old. While we watch World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion pack, StarCraft II, and most likely new Guitar Hero and DJ Hero games release this year we should keep our eye out on how much has changed and how much has stayed the same for these intellectual properties. After all, we shouldn’t continue to buy the same games over and over with little innovation. That is why they invented updates and DLC for games. Hopefully this conference let us in on the idea that yes, they are thinking what you’re thinking. Time to step it up! Look out for this industry leader as this insanely packed year in gaming progresses. It will be nothing short of enormous by the time Activision | Blizzard has made their contribution to gaming in 2010.
More Justice For All (Against MW2 Boosters)
Once again, Sandy Ravage went booster hunting this past weekend. The results, as they were last time, are a mixture of sheer awe and hilarity. Duke Nukem and Unreal Tournament sound effects were present, as well as the Hammer of Justice falling swiftly upon boosters. He even ran into a fan of his work in a lobby and recorded the encounter. Scroll a little bit lower to watch the newest iteration of the quickly growing hobby of booster hunting.
Newest Modern Warfare 2 Glitch Drains Your XP?
I watch this video and it really disappoints me to see so many gamers resorting to this kind of cheating. And it is cheating. Really surprises me that Infinity Ward can not get a handle on all the tampering that is happening in this game. Seems like you can’t even turn on Modern Warfare 2 without someone changing the game to their favor and making it one of the most unfun experiences ever. This latest glitch is certainly a doozy. It was used by a player who wanted to drain XP from other gamers. Although he states he only used it one time to teach others a lesson, it is really pathetic that neither Infinity Ward nor Microsoft can get a handle on the situation. Sad is more like it. Why even buy a game if your experience is going to be ruined by people who have found an unfair advantage?
Gamers should take a stand against these cheaters, Infinity Ward, Microsoft, Sony, and Activision by not playing any of these games until the problem is fixed and a player can actually get online and not have to worry about wasting their time with a game that’s outcome will be decided by some hacker who wants to teach someone a lesson for a day. No matter what version your playing, console or PC, you have to deal with this sort of nonsense that quite frankly has no place in these games. If you suck enough to have to cheat, then here is a little advice, go play chess or cards and leave the gaming to people who actually love to play and not to piss off the world. Peace.
Modern Warfare 2 Expansion and Natal Hitting 360 in 2010
CES 2010, although primarily being an expo for upcoming consumer electronics and services has expanded it’s reach more and more into the land of video games. This year has been no different as both Microsoft and Sony have been using the show to not only boast about sales figures but also talk about future plans and ideas that are coming down the pipeline.
Microsoft’s keynote at E3 2009 may have not been as stellar as years passed but it did showcase much promise for the future. Two of the biggest standouts were Project Natal and the promise of (timed exclusive) Modern Warfare 2 DLC. Well it turns out after the announcement yesterday, Microsoft has made good on both the Modern Warfare 2 expansion as well as Natal hitting the Xbox 360 this year.
n exact date hasn’t been announced for either but what we do know is we can expect the motion-sensing natal add-on to hit store shelves this coming holiday. While Activision has released this statement regarding the MW2 Expansion.
“Modern Warfare 2 is a timed exclusive, available firston Xbox 360 this Spring”
While we don’t know all of the details regarding either, we do know more than we did a few weeks ago, and as we all know, that knowing is half the battle.
