what does microsoft have to do with it? The only thing they did was make the console and allow activision to make games for it

They do that for practically every game, of course it was quick because it was barely anything.

Did I see the exploding crossbow from Timeshift?
Anyways, I doubt I'm gonna buy it. I'm still sort of an Infinity Ward fanboy... Well, before the important people left

That's why I said before the important people left. Now I'm looking forward to what Respawn brings.

Your an idiot. Two of the staff from infinity ward worked with activision to make this. Group of five guys "designed" this game. When madern warfare 2 came out. Activision worked on that too with infinity ward and under that name.so ummm yea. Don't assume

Yeah, I'm not paying money for another Treyarch game. COD5 was only worth it for the zombie maps. I skipped the main game.

Destructable environments?

Probably only set piece situations that are destructible... I.E. "Mission Objective: Explode that hut with a rocket, but only that hut because the other 15 huts will not be affected nor will they show any damage if hit directly with said rocket"
Was it just me or did the graphics look.... not so good? Anyway. I don't think I can bring myself to pay $60 for another CoD game if it just going to play the exact same way as the last 5. A little tiring, to be honest. Please... please be something DIFFERENT.

Still seems sorta mysterious i guess, i cant quite tell if it's all actually modern or of it's bits of modern with flashbacks spruced in
Posted: May 18th 2010 10:56PM The Harbinger of Pie said
I assume it will be modern with flashbacks. Hadn't really thought of it till you mentioned it, but it makes sense, especially how the guy says "just because they write it in a history book doesn't make it the truth", so he (main character) obviously has lived from the time of the war that is displayed to some good years in the future.

Um...last I checked, Activision doesn't produce any games. They just publish them. They might help out financially, but that's it. Activision owns Call of Duty. They can do whatever they want. They'll probably keep IW producing CoD titles just for money and keep Treyarch producing CoD titles because all the people who visit sites like Joystiq will probably not buy another IW game seeing as how the lead people from the studio have left (oh, and Treyarch will make it for money, too)

All of a sudden, hate turned into love because of a trailer. That is sad.
