And the only person out of the 250 seated on that fateful flight that cared happened to be a single podcaster from Achievement Junkies. Nelson, one of the podcasters of the site's show, revealed that a particularly flamboyant executive - or developer, publisher, marketer or whatnot - slammed a document sporting information that he wasn't supposed to see.

Call of Duty 5: Victory details leaked on airplane - Image 1 


Or was he? Whatever the reason behind the flabbergasting display of what is supposed to be treated as the most sensitive of information, this one (Activision? Treyarch?) guy who just so happened to sit right beside our aforementioned podcaster wasn't shy about revealing the document at all.

LOLcat has a secret to share, too - Image 1He was even mentioned to have walked up and down the aisles of the airplane, with document in hand, sporting what obviously was the Call of Duty logo. In bold letters, the document was titled Call of Duty 5: Victory. Hungry for details? Well, that's where we run short.

Apparently, Nelson doesn't want to sever relations with Activision or reveal sensitive information that might remove the edge of the title against the competition.

But we've got other ideas on our side. We're speculating that fate granted him this information leakage because he was wearing a Medal of Honor: Airborne hat from Electronic Arts while seated beside a guy who might just be from Activision.

So we guess this Activision guy wanted this Electronic Arts fan to switch over to the dark side and purposely flaunted the document, flipped through the pages in full view of his Electronic Arts seatmate and what appeared to be a new weapon that is highly anticipated in one other game, a controllable vehicle of dreamland proportions, a new multiplayer feature that was missing in the franchise, and a single player feature that will redefine the game experience.

I suggest you only invest in the CoD games that are dev'ed by spark unltd. There games come out at a decent rate(they dont pump em out like madden or tony hawk).

I can tell you that CoD5(by treyarch) will be using the same game engine(even tho fourzerotwo will deny it) that CoD4(by IW) is using.

.

Actually, I enjoy the cat pictures. Some of them are really funny. Plus they don't have any pictures of Call of Duty 5 and putting a picture of a previous Call of Duty game would lead to several idiots claiming that the pictures are old...

Dur?

If Nelson didn't want to say anything because he is still addicted to Activision's huge male sex organ, then he should have kept his mouth shut in the first place. "I know stuff but I can't tell you!! Tee Hee!!"

It's not that easy

To spill this stuff. I write for this site as well, and the stuff I heard about it doesn't seem like it would be as big of a deal as this article makes it out to be.
