So, a year on, and what’s happening with Respawn, the Phoenix comp created by Call of Duty creators and former Infinity Ward-proteges Jason West and Vince Zampella?
Precisely zip. They have a website, which still consists of just the above two lines, and no games, no news, no releases. And why is this important?
Because Black Ops is sucking my gamers. With the First Strike map pack just released for the lame-fest that is Treyarch’s abysmal imitation, the lobbies of Modern Warfare 2 have been draining fast – leaving only the hardcore who are continually whupping my ass… (not that it’s stopped me getting 1.17 ktd, eh lartens?!)
So unless West and Zampella get their act in gear and publish a non-Treyarch COD replacement pretty soon, we’re gonna have only two choices: carry on getting whupped just to play the beautiful MW2, or play Halo Reach.
And no one wants that.
haha, well mon frère, i doubt anything can be done until the West, Zampella and infinity ward vs activision law suit is over. My understanding is that activision bought most of infinity ward and so owns their code anyway. So even though a lot of infinity ward devs followed West and Zampella, and they created the call of duty franchise in the first place, who owns what and what belongs to whom is gonna screw everything up for the gamers in the end. innit
