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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
