    A bit premature maybe (should maybe even have a '?' in the title), given how little information we have (maybe Zampella and West were totally to blame). But I like every chance I can get at bashing Activision for their poor management...too bad that normally involves stories about people losing their jobs. :(

    I just had dinner with Jason at Dice last week.....

    He was unhappy with their royalty distribution, or rather LACK of royalty distribution.

    I smell lawsuits.

    Treyark makes the "crappy" ones.

    Infinity Ward makes the "good" ones.

    FIFY, and I think they are both good.

    And for you jealous types, Dave Anthony at TreyArch the exec producer was my lead programmer at Warthog.

    :p

    He has a very fancy car now......he did VERY well...

    Good. Maybe now they'll stop milking and start thinking.

    That is what Activision wanted to do.....milk it......IW wanted to do something more...

    And Activision was not exactly paying out for their efforts...

    The one thing that really pisses me off about IW is... Why the hell have they not added the other four maps to HC HQ (Terminal, Invasion, Skidrow, Highrise)? It doesn't make a damn lick of sense... I have tried ~tweeting~ 402 multiple times to no avail. I'm pretty sure these maps are included on regular HQ, and when maps range in size from Rust to Derail/Wasteland, what's the reasoning?

    Maybe DaDakota can use his ~hook-up~ to make something happen.
