The COD/MOH are great 1 player games but they are a bit too short for the money spent, I have never bothered with the multiplayer. BF2 and BF BC2 / Vietnam are definitely better MP, get Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Vietnam now they are on sale for Christmas you wont be sorry.
I definitely agree with the masses statement, there is a severe lack of intelligent television these days and I swear things are going backwards, look at the difference in what the UK HST is putting out for a documentary vs US HST which has had to mix entertainment w/ documentary to get you to actually watch something that you learn from which has degraded its content. Reminds me of when I was a 19 year old instructor in the military and used more swear words and jokes to keep peoples attention because I was not that experienced. I still like fun TV do not get me wrong, but I cant hack American Idol and Dancing with the Stars which may be akin to COD at this point.
The family gene tree and intelligence quotient from "Idiocracy" is looking like more of a reality these days.
Peace/Cheers |

These games are to sheeple what "Reality TV" is to sheeple...same shit, different pile. Man, I miss when gaming was about good games and gamers were real geeks where we had to hide our shame of our "hobby". Uh...when did we start calling the Super Bowl "Reality TV"?
I don't think the Superbowl is the best TV show out there, I'd say the showtime/HBO series are some of the best, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a rating Juggernaut that simply crushes everything including shows that are "better" than that one episode of the NFL.
But then it doesn't have the same bite when you compare it to the Superbowl...does it? Better than football? Huh, I didn't know you were gay. |

At least with those games, they were not trying to look real and show real modern war. Those game's stories and graphics were all futuristic or fantasy of some sort, so unrealistic gameplay makes sense and fits. But Quake style gameplay in a game that looks real with realistic style of combat is out of place and kind of weird. It just doesn't feel right. This is why Valve changed TF2 from the original realistic idea to the cartoony design that they ended up with and it works great. I have played CoD4 MP and MoH beta MP and it just wasn't fun to me. Something just wasn't quite right. But I love TF2 and have played it a lot.
Not only that, but those games had A LOT more value for the money. |

I've often thought that this would be a great model, but I realize now no one will ever do it. I might pay 10 bucks for a fun digital version of terrorist whack-a-mole like what Call of Duty has turned into.
If I had my ruthers, though, I'd take a revamped Call of Duty franchise made up mostly of emergent non-scripted tactical battles. |

and every single developer who worked on the game should have been given a bonus of a minimum of $100,000 with most of the heavy lifters getting $500,000 to a million or more,,,
but no instead the greedy suits at the top pocket the money, work the devs as slaves, pay them virtually nothing and then lay them all off. 1) It sold 1 billion. Figure a third of that is gone instantly as it goes to retail. Another third for distribution and marketing. You're left with $330,000,000 in profit for the publisher and developer. That's being very, very generous. From there you pay off your actors, your licensing fees, etc. I'm guessing every employee that contributed, other than testers, will get a bonus of a car. Maybe not a Lamborghini, but I'd guess (and it's a pure speculative guess) that everyone is getting something you can buy a car with. A lot of the money will go into Treyarch's "rainy day" fund, as well as helping them grow bigger. A lot of that money pays for rent, equipment, etc. A lot of money will go into subsidizing less profitable games.
2) Being a suit at the top is much, much harder than you think.
3) But I agree. As hard as it is, and many are certainly worthy of high six figure salaries, none are worth 8 figures. Our tax brackets messed things up. |

the game industry is pretty flipping screwed up. IF people got paid real money for really well done and successfull games there would be a lot more of them. instead of a bunch of fat pigs who did nothing at the top buying their 10th yacht while they laugh and fire everyone two days before Christmas.
Ahh the world, where priorities are completely upside down.
