(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Following the mass exodus of staff after the dismissal of former bosses Jason West and Vince Zampella, the media have dismissed Activision as on the downfall, but Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg still believes Infinity Ward are 'the real deal'.

I will say that the Infinity Ward that I'm meeting with today is one of the most talented developers in the world. There's still a lot of talent and a lot of vision inside that studio, and if I had just woken up from a coma and never read a press release about Infinity Ward and just gone to my meetings with them, I would have walked out and said, 'those guys are the real deal'.

He then went on to praise Treyarch for their work on Black Ops:

Treyarch is of course going to remain a centrepiece of our efforts on Call of Duty, and they have been. From the beginning, they've been contributing. I think that they've broke through to another level with this game, I think that they really just put their head down, tuned out the noise, and got to a pretty elite level in terms of the game that they've delivered here. They will, of course, figure prominently into our future plans and management of the franchise.

Hisberg then added the following regarding Sledgehammer, who are set to make the next Call of Duty:

With Glen Schofield and their performance in Dead Space and what they've done in the past, I've nothing but high hopes for their contributions.

I bought the prestige edition of Black Ops and also the normal edition. Two weeks later I sold both and bought Assassins Creed: Brotherhood instead. I don't hate the game but I just think it could have been better. I love how they added the feature where you can decide your search settings, I always hated ending up in American lobbies on MW2. Zombies was a let down, the maps were absolute crap, but the game mode was great. Combat training is fantastic, speaking from a non-hacker/glitcher point of view. I think the multiplayer maps were an absolute let down (let's face it, they were/are shit). The currency feature was very frustrating, I would've preferred the normal rank-up and unlock this feature. being able to edit your clan tag and put it onto your gun, and change the reticle was pretty cool. Frame rates were one of the worst tings about the game. Wager matches were FANTASTIC. I loved being able to dominate my friends in an equal environment, because your rank was unimportant. By the way, I absolutely loved the single player! By far the second best Claps

(Cod4 is unbeatable lol). I didn't actually touch spec-ops or single player for mw2 until 2 months ago, and that was only because i wanted some trophies (also the time I joined the site and discovered the hacks and whatnot) . Killstreaks were great in Black ops though, I was in awe of some players, I never went for the higher streaks because of the lag I was dealt, but I had my fair share of RC kills.

I guess what I'm trying to say is Black Ops is 2nd best in my books :dingding: And I kinda want it back now :mad: Hopefully we will have a blend of Cod4/MW2 multiplayer and Black Ops extra features/single player experience.

Sorry for dragging on lol, kinda bored, cbf with holiday homework.
