Kotick: Infinity Ward's remaining staff is amazingly capable, Treyarch deservers credit for MW2 too

infinity_ward_logoDespite the massive exodus of Infinity Ward staff upon Jason West and Vince Zampella's termination, Activision president Bobby Kotick still believes the developing firm is still "amazingly capable", thanks to the remaining staff.




"We're in the video game business. If we can't replace 25 people that would say something pretty disappointing about us as a company, said Kotick. "Well there's at least 60 or 70, super-talented, amazingly capable people who are [still] there. They shouldn't have to suffer for the bad actions of a copule of guys."

 

 

 

He continued to praise those who remained loyal to Infinity Ward despite the controversies that rocked their ranks. "They have a great culture, they're really good independent thinkers; incredible technology base. They can get support like they did from Treyarch, from Demonware and other places."

 

 

 

Funny that he'd mention Treyarch, too, because apparently, Treyarch is not the superior team compared to Infinity Ward. In fact, he claims that Treyarch actually helped out in shaping Modern Warfare 2 to be the blockbuster that it is, particularly in the multiplayer bit.

 

 

 

"That's an unfair view of Treyarch. You know it's not really an objective view. Treyarch contributed so significantly to the multiplayer technology that's in Modern Warfare 2 and they didn't really get the credit for that."

Did you mean inferior? Or am I reading it wrong?

LOLz yeah very talented people - at releasing a game before it was tested and figured they'd work out all the bugs later. Nice job faggots.

There is a distinct difference between loyalty and being able to up and leave a job for fear that you may not find another one very fast in this unstable economy. More people may have left if they knew they could find another job immediately.

They should've followed the other two guys into Respawn. Don't know why what's holding them back now

I don't remember Treyarch getting any credit on MW2's time of success neither should they get now.

Well that's a matter of opinion.

i wouldn't say block ops is the worst multiplayer i've ever seen. but, i'd rather see some of these new things treyarch did in a modern warfare game.

So, in what way would he explain why Treyarch games all pale in comparison to Infinity Ward? They have always come up wanting, like Raven and ID software, always the bridesmade, never the bride!

Yes. Let's boycott their awesome games because we all totally give a shit about their internal affairs.

Because we do. Right? And a few internet nerds boycotting a company for an outcome that has no relevance to them whatsoever is BOUND to put a dent in their many millions of sales!

I think that Treyarch and Infinity Ward are both great developing companies, but I believe that Activision is holding them back and causing them to release games early to keep up with the whole "best of this year" thing, making the games bad. Also the only thing bad about Black Ops' multi-player is the fact that every time you search with a party it says "party is no longer active".

if treyarch contributed significantly to MW2's online, than WHY in the hell is the matchmaking system broken to hell and back in black ops?

Obviously people don't give a crap who makes CoD and who did what for who, because the franchise has become like Apple and people just buy it anyway whatever the problems are.

I would have to concur with the above statement.

MW2 still the best multiplayer out there. Black Ops is the wors;it's like playing CoD world at war with PoS weapons.
