Game Scoop! TV: Activision vs. Infinity Ward

[xPr0Techz]

COD 5 is the best...... end of argueing

[numerosorte]

Best video game franchise in the world?

On god IGN couldn't suck more.

[RGCIronSkull]

lol i was like yay IGN ahhh creeper waitin in parkin lot O_O

[2MillionManArmy]

activision are cheap shits for kicking out the IW founders, COD will never get better again. sorry Cod fans.

[eftultimate]

its funny, the only time i hear anyone mention battlefield is only on the internet. no one mentions it any where else. CoD4 and MW2 are awsome. IW might have fixed MW2 had they not gotten fired. think about it

[TheItchyFetus]

0:01 to skip ad

[Nathdogwoof]

@TheItchyFetus THAT DOESN"T FUCKING WORK!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheItchyFetus]

@Nathdogwoof YEAH CAUSE THEY CHANGE THE SCRIPTS MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!

[twisterluvas]

activision is better

[D1D1P]

IW FTW

[StDiablo1]

@D1D1P hard to say that when they fucked up multiplayer in MWF2.......

[windson7]

Call of Duty is good for single player. Bad Company 2 is good for single player and helluva lot better than IW for multiplayer

[haymaker2352]

IW Sucks....Trayarch is better.

[DareDude914]

@haymaker2352 u don't even know how to spell there brand name dumb ass! Its Treyarch!!

[Jack4500i]

@haymaker2352 LoL IW Is Much Better Tomorrow I Gonna Sell BO

[xXRyuHaybusaXx]

halos better...

[sainathi34]

@xXRyuHaybusaXx balls to halo its a piece of shit

[MoArachanox]

Thumps up if you dont buy MW3

[fiandaca123]

They never got payd the rest of their money! And they have no right to the Modern Warfare franchise!

[Mredgarthetallone]

MW2 is my first cod game. i played waw , if IW leaves , Im out of cod

[TheSorrow1O1]

@Mredgarthetallone

Infinity Ward practically left months ago. Almost all the people left.

[UACmarine2O8]

@Mredgarthetallone "MW2 is my first cod game"

Wow, MW2 fag.

[Mredgarthetallone]

@UACmarine2O8 What? I like mw2 its a fun game, waw sucked more dick than a pornstar Im tired at work ,get home kill people, im happy :)

[PineConeKing]

@Mredgarthetallone They already did leave, faggot. IW got fired a long time ago. But still there will be a MW3 so don't worry

[zxcnjfrsfg]

@PineConeKing If they got fired then that IS a reason for ALARM!!!

DONT BUY SHIT GAMES FROM ACTIVISION!!! ACTIVISION IS GREEDY DICKHEADS WITH MONEY!!!

[PineConeKing]

@zxcnjfrsfg Who cares if they're greedy or not. I just like their games.

[zxcnjfrsfg]

@PineConeKing Well that is a matter of taste. I dont like games with overpowerd aim and no recoil. Games that has overpowerd killstreaks. Games that misses the feel of real warfare. ITS ARCADE SHOOTERS. This is just the 1st person shooters here. All of the games coming out of activision is rushed through the process of making a good game. Resulting in games with a shit load of mistakes and bugs. YOUR CHOICE!!!!!

[izodfresh]

@zxcnjfrsfg

except cod 4

[Mredgarthetallone]

@PineConeKing I dont understand why im faggot,but if thats what you want then no... but thanks for the update, faggot, is it a youtube thing? i see lots of people doing it

[HazeAlq]

Battle of duty 4: modern company 2, now thats a game ill adore, ( thumbs up to make it happen!) and pass it around

[GGGriggs]

Sorry if I sound stupid asking this...But what is this whole issue between Activison and Infinity Ward Exactly, because all I've been hearing is stuff about "unpaid royalties" and "insubordination", and I don't understand the EXACT reason why the two are suing each other and arguing...I hope Call Of Duty isn't gonna collapse due to Infinity Ward's troubles......

[HazeAlq]

@GGGriggs if infinity wards failed, or stopped, treyarch will be ready...

[GGGriggs]

@HazeAlq I agree...If Infinity Ward collapses, then I'm sure Treyarch will bring the series back to its feet and back on the train to even more success!

:-D

[HazeAlq]

@GGGriggs Hell yeah!

[09abdulsalam]

PODA PATTY

[peosisin88]

Lol

[pintend]

Im glad i picked the Battlefield franchise over CoD. Nearly 10 years on and still not obscured yet.

[kuldoogem]

i heard the whole thing was a dispute over who double dipped bobbie's salsa...?

[hastypasty]

@zombieguy3 Activison, ubisoft, Ea are GAME PUBLISHERS. Never stated in my comment that activison MADE call of duty they simply distribute it like books you know. a writer(IW) writes a book then sends it a publisher (activison) to have it printed and distributed. i see alot of kids are mixing this up.

[hastypasty]

Activison owns CoD ppl. IW just made the CoD's and works under Activison.

[FOsHo112x]

fucking stupid

[Unspokenjt2323]

How still plays sorry ass rock band the graphics suck and the music sucks on both there games and the chacters all look emo and gay

[Pentagon1311]

Hopefully the crooks at Activision get what's coming to them. Unfortunately they'll end up milking the Call of Duty franchise dry first like they've done with all their popular franchises. Anyone remember or even care about TOny Hawk or Guitar Hero anymore? Welcome to obscurity Call of Duty. You will be missed

[xG2N500]

It's all about money

[roker2121]

Activision is a publisher, IW is a game developer two different things you cant compare the two.

[cpmstudios98]

i know what happend

*they hierd another company sledgehammer and they are makin this years cod

*Treyarch makes next years

* then iw thats the punish ment

[TheVisualVapor]

Activision has more power and fam than IW look at all the games Activison makes IW only makes 1 in a blue moon and like mw2 they didnt make a beta and the games shit nothing like cod4 hell cod2 is bettter than mw2 but those ae like all of IWs games nothing compared to Activison

[cjohn137]

Activsion makes IW make a new game every 2 years not every blue moon. And activisions games arn't really that good, rockband beats out guitar hero and skate beats out tony hawk, and if activision feels like getting rid of infinity ward then they just lost the company that made them 1 billion dollars just off of mw2

[futas1991]

oh i think its all fake...activision just wants attention from community O_O BF was and will be the best Online modern warfare

[Usuck573]

@jesnigel

you are obviously a nub that probbably never played original games like cod1 or 2 so you probbably wouldnt know that activision has been getting greedy like EA over the years. :P

[hfjuice]

Not just treyarch... Just look what they are saying about bfbc2 sum people out there like it but most bash.. Cuz not made by iw

[hfjuice]

Anything not made by iw they bash...

[slickback123]

woo

way to start off the first few days of the BFBC2 release

MW2 is going to shit

and BFBC2 is rising to the top

FUCK CALL OF DUTY

[GamePlayUK]

COD4 alll the waayyy!!!

[XboxLiveKIngen]

InfintyWardz in my HEART! GOD BLESS PRESTIGE EDITIONS!

[jesnigel]

Activision did the right thing

[bitchhole64]

aparently activision fired infinity ward and i hope they did coz mw2 is no where near as good as waw in my opinion

[h1ghv0ltage]

REALLY???

[GxStyl3]

u got that right

[cwis01]

doesent activision own infinity ward and treyarch?

[sandj777]

Yes.

[bregget1]

not exactly. infinity and treyarch are there own companies that get hired to do games. activision just has been going between both companies for hiring to make the game

[cramernjen]

@cwis01 Yep

[coolfreaks911]

the truth is that IW had secret meetings with EA which is in breach of contract of having contact with another publisher

[Thelightblade1]

no that is just a rumor.

[FakeAccountize]

activision probably told infinity ward to f off and to stop making shit games

[cobaltblade12]

umm..,,, "wtf moment"

[Stainlessbull53]

who really gives a shit about this issue? i have bad company 2 now, cod doesnt even exist

[oakleyklj]

@Stainlessbull53 thumbs up.  wait...why aren't I playing now?

[BlackKnightSkye]

@Stainlessbull53 Yeah dude. Any game I can parachute out of a blackhawk and drop down on top of a dude with my knife.... with 22 other players looking on... is awesome.

[nunezhit]

@Stainlessbull53 OKAY??? so you like to sit around and camp is what your saying.... YOU CANT EVEN GO PRONE POSITION! mulitplayer is bogus. the only thing that is cool about that game is the vehicles, kind of...

[RegenerateV2]

@nunezhit WTF are you talking about kid??? sitting around camping? look at mw2, everyone camps! bfbc2 is a run and gun game that takes a lot more skill then mw2 does.

[nunezhit]

@RegenerateV2 LOL. kid...

[KirbyPownsYou]

@Stainlessbull53 Yes but you must admit that Black Ops looks amazing

[lichlame]

since when does activision care about danger close?

[Herimia]

activision owns the call of duty franchise so they can do what ever they want with it.

[mastersniper13]

after playing bad company 2 i say fuck call of duty

[bayman510]

@mastersniper13 i sencond that motion

[SoSolidPlaya]

@mastersniper13 you are a fucking faggot

[SALVATl0N]

Plus Zipper got Socom back....

[MobiusCoin]

Good luck Activision, maybe you can keep the franchise afloat with Treyarch at the helm. Hahahahaha! You're doomed without Infinity Ward.

[Zanxion]

Infinity ward suck.

[randygandy]

@Zanxion i believe that its activision forcing them to give head...

[garuto101]

They give good head

[Abyssal9kFunOrb]

How could you do this Activision? HOW???

This is bullshit, I hope IW and Treyarch both leave and go to another good publishing company, I vote EA.

[antihitler372]

I don't really care who's right or wrong, but Infinity Ward needs to be put back in charge of Call of Duty. The franchise will die without them, and everyone knows it.

[miltbottleboy]

The whole storming the office with "bouncers" type people is really really freaking strange.

It mite take awhile but either someone did something very very wrong or Activision are modern day Nazis.

Hopefully what happened will become cleaner soon.

But I still dont understand how Activison can sack someone at Infinity Ward.

I though Infinity Ward were not owned by anyone.

Can someone fill me in?

[Confuzledify]

@miltbottleboy

Infinity Ward was bought out by Activision back in 2003. So basically Activision "owns" Infinity Ward. They can do whatever they want I guess.

[miltbottleboy]

cheers.

Now I know why people are worried about the franchises.

[redcultist]

@miltbottleboy i agree with the "activision are modern day nazis" part...

[Venezu3la99]

im sure Infinity Ward would win, they can predict everything Activision would do, since they copy everything form IW anyways....

[XeanFury]

That guy looks lego head

[Voidic]

I don't really get the Treyarch bashing. They did a great job with COD5

[smithjustinn]

COD5 was okay it just wasn't as good as cod4, it was definitely was better than MW2. I think you could tell that the developers didn't really want to make MW2 by the lack of effort that is apparent in it (total lack of balance and glitches that should of been found before the game released).

[fadence]

Yeah, because all of the developers realise that pressing multiple buttons when climbing things get's you another care package etc...

[johnnymccony]

what do u mean?

[xStaTiiicZz]

exactly great game patches fixed quick ect :)

[Unl3oRn]

they should fire treyarch there shit sucks

[listonian7j]

@Unl3oRn nazi zombies was pro

[KomochiChan]

Vietnam would be a waste of a game cuz it was just a suckish war and the weapons were basically modern..

[fader55555]

The Vietnam War was just a suckish war?You know thats very respectful for those who gave their lives in that war and to those who endured the horrific experiences there..

[KomochiChan]

Watever.. ^_^

[fader55555]

@KomochiChan

Be respectful kid...my grandfather was in the Vietnam War and he serve a 9 years in a concentration camp so don't say whatever to me with a dumbass grin.

[acesonfire]

@KomochiChan suckish war??? how about you go running into a jungle with bullets whizzing by your head, people dying all around you, and children running at you with guns......faggot

[londonilford]

probably a 11 year old kid typed that

[KomochiChan]

Maybe not.. ^_^

[MaxDorval]

@acesonfire and the agent orange who gave most ppl cancer and make the children infirm. it was an useless war lead by fear...

[KomochiChan]

Exactly why it was a suckish war..tganks for proving my point!! ^_^

[MrJackLMAO]

i work there

we aint allowed to talk about what happened tho sorry everyone - Jack. B

[torhagen]

activision is evil

[Jamiesuitor]

Is that Ryan Clements? jesus, did he find his balls?

[deonred]

i think that's him and if ya look close you can see the scooter he drove into work in the back .

[daedley]

I love how they showed a G4 page from their website. G4 got the news first, and IGN trailed. IGN is slow, G4 is a much better company and site.

[IGNentertainment]

Patrick at G4 did a great job getting the news. Of course we'd credit them with getting the scoop.

[topdinero]

thanks ign .....

[daedley]

holy crap IGN commented back to me, Never thought this would ever happen. Just joking you guys are awesome too great vid and IGN is a great site.

[ulisesfoundation]

@IGNentertainment

lol ign

bring out jessica

[MinimalPhoenix]

Im just not gonna play call of duty anymore if they make us pay for it

[x2PUx]

I swear, If IW doesn't make MW3, I'm offically DONE with CoD. Especially with shitty Trey Arch.

[Hizigkru]

Sorry to tell you that COD 7 will be made by Treyarch...

[3diot]

he said MW3 not CoD 7.

[TheVislo]

i thought it was being made by sledgehammer games

[Jason54270]

are you for real...

[TheXboxgamer4life]

Activision should just fuck off like WTF the best selling game in history making them so much money and they dont want mw games man that's pretty fucked up like world war two games have been done way to many time although i am eager to try out Vietnam but FUCK ACTIVISION

[Team7one8]

wth

[dranze111]

Am going to activsion forums to make a poll to get back IW if you wanna help go and comment on the poll!

[crashfan123]

internet forums fa1l

[crashfan123]

i take it back not forums i meant to say polls

[MrAristotle007]

Its time for gamers to start treating Activision with the disrespect they deserve.

[DeathM3TaL]

@MrAristotle007 Indeed Activision doesn't deserve a penny and Infinity Ward should sue them for every penny they got

[ceafexftw]

Activision are just simply put, bullies.

[MojowidanAK]

loool

[LiableShepherd]

0:41 - 1:05 whats the name of the song that Ign using? It sounds familiar?

[GrappyFlappy]

Ativision are a bunch of shit heads

[Thelightblade1]

i am with you.i heard that activision fired IW because MW2 was separated a little from them(you know the title says infinity ward and doesn't mention activision)

[Drummingwizkid]

They fired them just before they were about receive royalty checks for mw2. If you google it, you can read the filed document that was made by the lawyers for the two fired...It's pretty lengthy but it only shows one side of the story...but I wouldnt put it past Activision to be greedy and just not want the two to profit so they could make an extra buck.

[Scykei]

lol?

[smileWertom12]

thats what happens when you make multyplayer fucking retarded

[YouTommmy]

WEl thats hapen when u dont give PC users a deticate servers! :/ :lol:

[breddan96]

Activision wants to milk the COD franchise but IW dident want to do that... they were fighting over that too

[rickiex]

whats the BIG mystery? people just gotten greedy with tons and TONS and BILLIONS of dollars.

why is that such a mystery?

[Drummingwizkid]

exactly my thoughts.

[C4RPETFR3SH]

THE STIFFMEISTER!!!

[TheMrCamo]

Yo IW still needs a publisher even if they split, every game does

[xbox360pwnsall]

im sure theres LOTS of publishers who whould like to publish the cod franshise

[darknessincarnate56]

lol @ mw2 selling 1 billion copies...it sold about 15 million on all platforms combined by the end of the year which means it made about 1 billion in dollars

[homasexualbatman]

LOL infinityward got rich then everyone took their money and ran.

[adog262]

Boring really, and it looked fake.

[gimmecookie17]

@adog262 nim with u

[coldheartedpunk]

@BenyGold

"TONIGHT! ON UNSOLVED MYSTERIES! FIND OUT, WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ACTIVISION! UPDATE! APPARENTLY NOBODY GIVES A SHIT SO, FUCK 'EM!"

[kevinzki21]

greed, selfish, corrupt. . . and lots more that i could say about activision.. . .. but business is business i guess.....

[Mr1Marshy93]

Infinityward wanted to make a more futuristic game (no laser beam bs) but their contract said they were only allowed to make modernwarfare, so both activision and IW got into a big dispute, Now IW FIRED or Quit which ever it is InfinityWard is out. Now they fight for Modernwarfare. Most likely Activision might get it because its a Call of Duty franchise

[3diot]

@Mr1Marshy93

Activision had lawyers on standby for a while now ready to tackle IW. They're sueing activision because guess what - they didn't get their royalties! It only sold over 1 billion copies! xD

Sledgehammer is replacing IW.

[seiketsu85]

1 billion copies?! I think this number is away too big to be true.

[mitttyz]

they made 1 billion PROFIT. not 1billion copies.

[BlackVirusxz]

1 billion revenue, not profit

[seiketsu85]

Why do I get thombs Down?? I didn't say anything!!lol...very nice XD. So It wasn't copies or profit, was it revenue?!

XD Anyway that game is a hit!! Copies, profit or revenue anyway it's a big number!!

[bigrock123]

u get a thumbs down for ur new comment too.

[breddan96]

It should be IW that gets the license for MW games, cuz they made the Mw games... Activision published it,.... Call of duty series belongs to Activision...but hey.. Dident they just name Modern Warfare 2?...Not call of duty ..right?

[foomojive]

@breddan96 no mw2 is actually called call of duty modern warfare 2. and activision owns the rights to the francise. they bought iw for everything. all the people there belong to activision. activision made sure that iw wouldnt leave so they bought EVERYTHING

[suprempuk]

@breddan96 IW made the game but Activision owns the franchise

[billionaireboys11]

@suprempuk no, IW owns MW franchize but activision owns COD franchize.

[breddan96]

No they own the COD franchise :)

[lonebuttafish]

i hope that IW will split from Activision and be a indipendent company. THis will allow them to expand their ideas without their publishers makeing the release it by a certain time or forcing them to make the game a certain way

[CHEVINATOR1]

LOL

[popoma09]

LOL. wtf

[iEras3di]

WTF they hug?

ROFL!

[thisscreensucks]

Unsolved Mystery's FTW

[BenyGold]

AHAHAH this totaly reminded me of tourettes guy...WHOS WITH ME???

[tyman528]

Heres what should happne.....activison make good games dont get me wrong about that! But! They need to listen to the people not themselfs! Becuase they when they do get it(if they do) They are going to realeas that noone wants to see the same shit over and over THATS the great thing about iw every cod is different exept for 1,2,3 and when activion make a freaking mw2 or waw2 they are going to make it the same as the others becuase they dont have to brains and the balls to make better thean first

[tyman528]

mw2 is supose to be mw3

[TheBrutusMaximus]

activision do not make the games they the publishers the hire developers to design the game.

[tyman528]

still dont you get my point?

[TheBrutusMaximus]

they did listen to people and that is why we got MW2. most stuff people dont like in MW2 are what people said they wanted in it.but to the point Activision are the publishers of the COD series so IW only designs the game but they dont come up with the idea for it.

[Syn0203]

there is no idea, just shoot, kill, die lol

[Intrdmnsion]

The only thing we can hope for now is:

1. Jason West and Vince Vampella wins the lawsuit.

2. The rest of the Infinity Ward members follow suit and quit as well, leaving CoD under Activision (which will suck BIG TIME).

And there is absolutely no way they will join EA again. IW quit EA cause they didn't like them, you think they'd join now? The most probable thing that'll happen is that they'll create their own independent company again, and hopefully make another great franchise.
