Hey. Saw this on Gameinformer.com. Your Friendly Neighborhood Satanist is pleased.

From Gameinformer.com...

"Competition is of course a good thing. It keeps us all on our toes and ultimately makes the games better. It's healthy," said Hirshberg according to Eurogamer. "But it's one thing to want your game to succeed and another thing to actively, publicly say you want other games to fail." Activision and Electronic Arts â" particularly Activision's Bobby Kotick and EA CEO John Riccitiello â" have engaged in a public feud over which game will come out on top this holiday season.


Oddly enough, this was stated nearly right after many high-ups in the game-review industry (IGN.com, X-Play, Gameinformer, etc) revealed gameplay footage of Battlefield 3's epic Co-op mode and Jet gameplay.

Something tells me that Activision is sweating a little bit now. I've stated many times that they've gotten away with producing the same game with a new brown coat of paint and the occaisional undead for the past three years.

MW 1? Amazing. WaW? I don't feel as Treyarched as before... no idea why.... MW2? This is... anticlimactic. BO? I believe this is the first CoD since MW1 that deserves a grade in the "8.0-8.75" range. MW3? TBA

Activision's starting to see that copy-paste-cash is not the formula of quality games in the modern games industry. But, that's just an opinion. oh yea, here's the full story form Eurogamer

Oh uh ok. I have not heard about them fighting but I mean thats just what they do. I have seen videos attacking one of the two games. I know that these r made by fans but I think they might be fueling the fire a little

It doesn't help that the actual CEO's of Activision and EA actually engage in heated debacle over their games. Seriously. The two of them are children, and the real matches to this pyre of hate.

I love it!

Let them fight i ain't gona buy this games anyway.
The best CoD for me is Modern Warfare (1 of course).
And the best Battlefield will always stay 1942.
And since Black ops I don't enjoy fps games as much as in the past, I mean all my friends made a small little clan in btf free2play or play4free doesn't matter. But in 1942 we had the same clan to and it was fun but now it wasn't just because I didn't like running brainless trough a map and shooting and resurrecting again. So I installed from dust and I enjoy it.

The main reason I'm getting mw2 is so I can play with my friends online. I can play with....two of my friend on mw2, the rest have it for xbox. So on mw3 I can play with like 5 of my friends

Im going to agree with this because I have played most the battlefield games and the cod games after cod4 and I agree with the quote

And this activision publishing ceo wants a true will get bf fan boys saying "looks like mw3 isn't going to be good because mw3 wants a truce because they are scared of bf3 being awesome" but I guess activision have realised arguing about whos game is better will get them no where it has nothing to do with the games
