Rumour


Recommended Posts

According to a rumour report from D'Toid, Infinity Ward is hiring staff to develop an MMO. The studio is apparently hiring from Sony Online Entertainment and Blizzard to help out on the game, with one such hiring apparently the lead designer of EverQuest II, Ryan Barker.

The site claims the MMO will run alongside the main cannon CoD series as normal.

Yesterday, several sources told VG247 that the studio won't be working on Modern Warfare 3.

Rumour suggests that Acti upstart Sledgehammer Games, led by ex-Visceral alumni Glen Schofield and Michael Condrey, will be handling its development.

It's just a rumour. I can't say I buy it.

Are you being serious? All Activision have been talking about is finding a way to monetize COD and also, convienent this dropped around the same time? ;)

This could be Acitivsion making a MMO type CoD like MAG though? In which case, it should work out just fine I think.

You mean Activision making a 256 player online experience that is totally free?

Yeah but it still costs money to buy but yes, Activision will surely charge for both the game and monthly play.

And I'd love some help. Haven't played much since I've been re-arranging the room and trying to sort my dead secondary HDD but if you are up for it, we could do a few group quests and perhaps a few Stockade runs :wub:

Yeah man sure, does rested XP cap? I don't mind helping you out just now then just raping my way to 60 with help of rested XP after each time I help you by hearthing to an inn. It was back down at 111% last night anyway, dunno what it's jumped back up to now, maybe not just as high as 170% yet.

I got some stuff to do today starting now, but I'll hop on later (Y)

I suspect they'll release this abortion, expect a fee THEN charge for DLC. Followed by a swift exit from the MMO market. :p

I'm kind of excited to maybe finally see an FPS MMO. If Borderlands is the prelude to those types of games, I think they could be really fun. Then again, it's Activision publishing it, so I'll take this news with a giant bag of salt.

You do know "MMO" doesn't mean "fantasy" right?...right?

If you go back and look, I called this a long time ago when Activision and Blizzard merged. I knew they would be trying to make a Call of Duty MMO, although I thought they would be smart enough to save the name World at War for just that title.

yeah id imagine with Blizzard's experience in the genre they might actually make it decent. I know blizzards working on some secret MMO(of a totally new lore and universe) that hasnt been announced yet, just that theyve said its being worked on.

Im always open to new MMO's, ive had an empty spot in gaming since i quit WoW, and there hasnt been anything as polished and complete.

i think after mw2 mess they seem to be killing the series integrity somewhat imo. Hopefully better alternatives comes around eventually and is better and more popular.
