Infinity Ward’s departed employee count reaches 12

April 16th, 2010 Posted in PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

infinitywardlogo

What was once a beloved company is seemingly becoming a shell of what it what was. Infinity Ward’s (of Modern Warfare 2 fame) number of lost employees since the founders got laid off is now 12. The 2 newest employees to depart from the studio are Mark Grigsby, lead animator, and Paul Messerly, lead character animator. Both of whom worked over 5 years at the studio.

It seems like only a matter of time before all of Infinity Ward’s greatest talents leave the studio.

Analyst: Activision could have charged more for MW2 map pack

April 14th, 2010 Posted in DLC, FPS, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

mw2stimulus

Despite the $15 price tag, Modern Warfare 2’s Stimulus Package managed to sell a riduclous (and we mean very ridiculous) amount of virtual copies. Pretty much everyone agrees that for 5 maps (2 of which are old) $15 is way too high. Well, to one analyst by the name of Jesse Divinch, that price is too low.

Yes, Divinch has actually said that Activision could have charged $20 for the pack and people still would have bought it. He explains below:

“It is evident that 2.5 million Xbox Live players felt that $15 was either just right or a good bargain and given the enormous quantity sold (2.5 million), I’d argue that Activision could have charged more and still obtain the same results.”

I refuse to buy the maps at $15. I can afford them, I just don’t like how Activision priced them (Blizzard, don’t worry, I still love you). But $20? Hellllll no.

Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer glitches out, again

April 12th, 2010 Posted in FPS, Microsoft, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

harrier

Well it seems that glitchers have managed to find another exploit in Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer. No, you don’t get unlimited noob tube ammo or the ability to run super fast, but you can call in unlimited harriers. That’s right, a new glitch has been found that allows players to call in up to 9 harriers. Just imagine the havoc you could cause will 9 harrieres in the sky.

Let’s hope Infinity Ward is quick with patching this one as by the time they do, players are sure to find another.

Oh by the way, a little bird told us that you can figure out how to do this glitch here.

2 additional Infinity Ward employees say goodbye

April 12th, 2010 Posted in FPS, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

infinitywardlogo

It seems that Infinity Ward is on on a slow decline as it was just announced that 2 additional longtime employees have departed the studio. First up is Jon Shiring, a programmer over at Infinity Ward who has been with them for almost 6 years. Additionally, Mackey McCandlish, a designer who has been with Infinity Ward for 8 years has left.

There’s no telling why they left but I’d say it has something to do with Activision being, well, Activision. I wonder if they will join Respawn Entertainment? Let’s hope so.

If you’re one of the few PC FPS players who have yet to try out Modern Warfare 2 you’ll be glad to hear that Steam is offering the multiplayer component of the game free of charge for an entire weekend. The promotion will begin this Thursday, April 8th and you can pre-load the content right now.

Of course Modern Warfare 2 still doesn’t have dedicated servers which may be a deal breaker for a lot of PC gamers.

Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package now live

March 30th, 2010 Posted in DLC, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

Call-of-Duty-Modern-Warfare-2

If you weren’t aware, today is March 30th, the day that Modern Warfare 2 is set to get 5 brand new maps in the form of the Stimulus Package. Well, earlier in the day there were some hiccups when Infinity Ward attempted to launch the pack but everything has been squared away and works perfectly now.

I’m still against spending $15 for 3 new maps (and 2 old) but I really want to play Crash. Dammit, I guess I’ll do it.

Activision, not Infinity Ward, set the price for the Modern Warfare 2 map pack

March 26th, 2010 Posted in PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

mw2

The Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package was announced not too long ago but gamers everywhere have been raising their eyebrows at the $15 price tag. Has Activision rubbed off onto Infinity Ward? Are they really extorting their fans?

According to Infinity Ward’s community manager Robert Bowling, no, it was in fact Activision that set the price for the map pack.

Will you be buying the pack? I’m a bit iffy but I was to play Crash really badly.

If you’ve been playing Modern Warfare 2 online you’ve most likely run into the “super-speed” glitch at least once. You know, the one that makes everyone in the party run extremely fast. Well, love it or hate it, the gitch is no more.

Robert Bowling has just let us know that the Xbox 360 playlist update that includes a fix for the hack has just been released for Modern Warfare 2.

I liked the infinite ammo glitch better, anyways.

Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package gets dated

March 15th, 2010 Posted in FPS, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker
modernwarfare2

Last week we let you know that Modern Warfare 2 would be getting its first map pack entitled the Stimulus Package on March 30th. However, at the time it was not announced what the pack will contain or at what price point it will drop at.

Well, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has just announced that the pack will be an astounding 1200 Microsoft Points or $15 on other platforms. Additionally, he let us know that the following 5 packs will be in the pack:

  • Bailout – a multi-level apartment complex
  • Storm – an open industrial park littery with heavy machinery
  • Salvage – a snowy junkyard fortified with debris and crushed cars
  • Crash – Call of Duty 4 remake
  • Overgrown – Call of Duty 4 remake

As you’ll see, 3 of these maps are brand new while 2 are remakes of popular Call of Duty 4 maps. But wait, $15 bucks? What the f%#$?

Infinity Ward employees discouraged, not getting paid

March 12th, 2010 Posted in FPS, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

mw2logo

Some new information regarding the Activision vs. Infinity Ward ordeal has just emerged — It seems that the morale of the remaining Infinity Ward employees is quite low due to their bosses being laid off. And, to add to that, Activision is withholding the royalties they owe these employees for Modern Warfare 2. This has led to speculation that Activision is withholding these royalties so the rest of the team stays on board.

Sounds a bit fishy, don’t it? Let’s hope Infinity Ward comes out on top of this one.
