Bottom Line: Call of Duty sells. If you think that Infinity Ward matters in this at all, I would seriously consider rethinking things.

Nobody buys Call of Duty because IW makes it. They buy it because it's Call of Duty. Even the pooty Treyarch ones. Nobody cares. There are at least two Call of Duty sequels in development right now.

And nobody's going to care when they don't make another Call of Duty. And nobody's going to care when they make a new game for EA and it's basically the same thing.

Because it's not Call of Duty, and by that time that namebrand will be synonymous with Guitar Hero and people will be ready for something new.

Infinity Ward is stupid and I have no idea why people feel like they need to fight the good fight and support them when they have no idea what the real situation was.

That's not Correct Mesmer, a lot of people who play IW games will jump ship to what ever they make next. They did it with Medal of Honor and now Call of Duty. They built it from scratch....got it popular and then the owner (EA & Activision) got greedy and wanted to keep making them over and over. To say that the next game they make at IW/respawn won't sell is incorrect. I'll go on a limb and say it will be one of the top 5 selling games the year it comes out.

Ok call of duty does not just sell because of name the games that IW has been making are actually pretty good, MW2 is the best Multiplayer FPS availabe on the consoles at the moment, and COD4 was before that.

I will agree that Treyarch's games are crap, WaW felt more like a mod then a real game.

And I probable have as good of an idea as anyone with reguard what is going on with the law suit

I beg to differ. Halo beats MW2 hands down, IMO.

My problem with MW2 is how easy it is, and how much bullpoo goes on in that game. I mean, it's one of the few games where I have a valid reason to get pissed off nearly every time I get killed. Halo 3 has been out for over 2 years I think, and it is much more balanced (most of the time) and more fun. *waits for Halo Reach*

COD4 I've never played online, but I hear it was a lot better than MW2.

COD4 was better than MW2, not as many flashy things but more balanced, not stupid air support and things that reward bad players. However, after MW2, people now trust Treyarch more than IW. From people I know, WaW got way better after a few months. They put out patches and decent map packs and got things going pretty well. MW2 has been out a while now and still has stupid issues, unbalanced perks, and cheats/exploits galore. They just don't care.

You can never convince me that WaW is better, I will say there is a lot of BS that happens in MW2, but I've also not lost a match in my last 3 days of playing moved my W/L up by .04 and kills up by .01 to 1.93.

And CoD 4 is still the best.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
