Humm...sounds pretty typical. Seems in the Computer market that companies start small, grow, and then kill them selves when they get big. Lets look at gaming
ID was a tiny company that came out with a great revolutionary game. They grew and grew. Q3 was the pinnacle. After that they fell on their face. I am sure some will argue that ID still has great engines and all..but what was their last mainstream game?
BF series. Came out with 1942. It was great and revolutionary. BF 2 was the pinnacle. 2142 it started going downhill and the kine is pretty much dead.
CoD is taking the same downward spiral..... Its actually VERY dissapointing because I was looking for a good place to step back in the scene. 
At the same time...you can almost compare console gamers to the music industry. You can toss a turd out there, and advertising/hype will get enough people to buy it that the developer makes money. Other than Halo...No console game has long Lifecycle. Its just not that involved.

In the end I guess IW will have to move with that as well and come back to the fold... My hope is by then EA bought them anyways... Wait, what....

And look, EA just acquired another company...http://www.gamefocus.ca/?nav=new&nid=7448 |

LOL love the banner.
This was headlines on MSN today saying it is expected to sell 500 million copies! Thats even more copies than Halo 3 one of the biggest launches in history..how sad. The worst thing is the game actually looks like it could be fun if they would just respect the line they created.

I'm hearing some info trickle out of the user who bought it. Most say SP is awesome. For MP some say it's not so bad. A little irritating but still playable. However I am seeing a lot of this popping up. LOL
It's a LAG fest. WTF it doesn't show ping it's like mobile bars?

That's because they don't want to show the numbers. They said average is around 100ms. Plus to make it more "accessible" they went with the bar scheme because morons can figure out their cell phones but don't understand a low ping vs a high ping.

hey - I gotta question...
Are these boneheads paying AT&T royalities for using the bar logo in game?
Maybe that's where our 36x36 maps went?!

Normally I don't look through comments on Kotaku or Joystiq because they are normally created by 8 year olds, but someone there mentioned pirating and of course the console guys jumped all over that but amidst all of that one person had a fairly intelligent input to the whole thing which kinda shocked me really.

Uh, no. I want to play the game, because I enjoyed its predecessor. It has nothing to do with how hard they worked on it. People work hard on shit games too. I'm not buying it, because they removed a bunch of features I actually used in MW1, and are charging $10 more for it. If not wanting to pay more money for less makes me a douche, so be it

Maybe somehow some good came out of this if someone out there now notices they have to listen even a little.

BC2 Video looks nice... I wonder if the beta will be public or closed.
I'm gonna try to keep an open mind ; no matter how much the grumpy old man in me says not to.

Dammit!! A few guys I know and have been playing it. Traitors!! The bad part is they are playing MP and say it's pretty much just like the L4D MP console. Which is just fine by them. Other than that they same it's just like COD4 but better. They are tempting me to buy this game with their tales of wonder! Damn them!
