Any confirmation on this? @Nepenthe: Your'e mean!

I was just musing about the differences between U.S. and local legal cultures at this point. Glad to see I was wrong. Looks like a pretty strong case to me, depends of course on the contract+memorandum and their contents... The only problem that I foresee is how much damage will IW sustain during the time of the trials. For a big company it is easy to sustain themselves during the proceedings, but I wonder how will a small studio like IW will hold out. What's worse is that they could be blacklisted among publishers for this, they come with the baggage of a trial. Although if they do win they could go independent. Let's hope the hiatus doesn't break their momentum. IW isn't involved in this. They are IW.

Brush up on criminal law, I'm going to need a lawyer after I storm Bioware HQ and kill the archdemons (Greg and Ray) after they release the next save the world game. Innocent for reason of insanity.

No

Besides, Americans are united in not wanting Obamacare. Even Massachussets. If you believe Fox.

Imagine the look on Kotick's face if the founders regained the Modern Warfare rights His shareholders would burn him at the stake. Less than he deserves

Why did people follow (insert conqueror or dictator of preference here). Price got Soap out of a lot hairy situations, most people to whom you trust with your life hadn't had the chance to prove it. Soap and Price did, that develops a lot of trust. BTW: I'm also of the opinion that nuking the satellites was the fastest and most effective way to end the invasion.

Yeah, that would be true. . . on an unified US! There is such a thing as mission sanctity among military men. The ACS was recovered and that was the end of that story, someone though that they didn't had time to crack it so information about it wouldn't be given to satellite operators. When they look the screen they go by protocol and try to check it; you can't deploy troops for every sunflare. They didn't decide that a rational person would decide a nuclear strike, Price is far from sane. The second point is valid. And to all of you that are going to keep doubting Modern Warfare 2's plot I say BRING IT ON!

I'm still not going

The only bad thing about it is how long it took for him to leave.

Being Ultranationalist is being an extremist, the cases in the past where extremism has been involved have been violent. Just think of them like LoF overcaffeinated and with a gun. I don't know if that's the only method, but hey it's a blockbuster plot. In the 60's the plot would have been the day after tomorrow.

Russia had been overtaken by the ultranationalists from the first game, the ACS module that Soap had to recover had been cracked. All things explainable, maybe lost on you.

And just what is wrong with that? I admit to their overuse of "epicness" or their attempts at it, yet as much as these moments took me out the story still made sense.

Yet as things stand they can't make another Modern Warfare without IW. IMO they are just trying to armstrong them into making it.

Hey, give Irma a break. She was doing those comics before the game release.

It's done

I would argue that GoW has more substance over style. The focus of the game is brutality not style, fights in it are meant to be an ordeal, an obstacle and not the center. Plus when it comes to side arms DM>GoW.

The same is true for the insane and the maimed.

After level 20 in ME 1, all the covers were the same. Looks like all the criminals in the universe use the same interior design decorator.

Only a Sith could see the world so black and white Here I go again. You need to understand that is more complicated than that, governments can't pull out dollars out of their magic ass and make it all well. Working for Apple; even if it's at low pay, is not the bottom of the barrel. If all companies decided not to use child labor because Americans are to sensitive about the issue, it will drag their public image down and do so without actually helping the children. Well then, how are those kids going to live without work? Consider that the case could be that they have no other source of income. But, whatever. I feel like i'm throwing pearls to the swine.

@Jaguars: @213374U: Remember the Japanese formula that controlled the video game RPG's market during the 90's. Worked for them so well for so long that they are now stuck in creative hell coming up with new ideas to match the western market which continued to change. Basically, comfort= less creativity.

Will it be canon? Only if there isn't a net. That's Cannon

Like I said before; differences in economy. Not all can afford leisure, most of the countries that this kind of labor is outsourced have a lot of cheap labor hands. Because of their poverty they can't afford to work for gaming or even going to school.
