Infinity Ward reckons that developers shouldn't compare Call of Duty 4 and 5 at all.
In a furious internet rant on his work blog Infinity Ward community manager Rob Bowling has called for sites to stop interviewing Treyarchs Noah Heller, who he feels is drawing nonsense comparisons between
Call of Duty 5 and
Call of Duty 4.
While
COD 5 is being developed by Treyarch,
COD4 was created by Infinity Ward and the two entirely separate teams have traditionally divided the franchise - with Infinity Ward creating the superior titles in the eyes of many fans and critics.
What's irked Infinity Ward lately though is that Treyarch has been comparing the its own
World at War with Infinity Wards
Call of Duty 4, and making some apparently bogus claims in the process. Speaking on his work blog, community manager Robert Bowling
expressed his frustration with
World at War senior producer Noah Heller directly.
"
You didn’t work on previous Call of Dutys, so don’t talk as if you’re down with how / why things were designed the way they were. Second, you’re completely f*****g wrong." posted Rob.
"
Can you guys please stop interviewing this guy, talk to someone who actually works on the Dev Team at Treyarch and knows what the f**k they’re talking about?" pleaded Rob after Noah made some bogus claims about weapon design in
Call of Duty 4. "
Not Senior Super Douche Noah Heller from Activision - who apparently has never played the game and doesn’t even work at the developer."

Surely people should be talking to the senior super douche, about his CoD4 Mod...
Back to the topic: if you're going to interview someone, you should at least do a background check to see if they are actually qualified to discuss the subject...I mean Rob's right, why interview a corporate manager who doesn't even play the game?
also treyarch CoD's dont exist in my universe, sorry
CoD4 runs and CoD:WaW doesnt :p
I'd want that job just to be a douche to people. And it will be safe to assume that your the only one with a title like that in the world. Where do I apply?
*sigh*
I dont like hyped up games... they always disappoint *cough* crysis *cough*.... just have to watch the field and wait for that diamond in the rough....
:)
as 'cool' as it might be to see a game developer say "**** off" to some douche, it still makes him look stupid and childish
however , I still believe, like everybody else, that IW > T
slightly misleading headline tbh
it doesnt look like its his work blog and its not infinity ward telling people to stop interviewing treyarch
its one guy, on his personal blog, ranting about interviews of one other guy
He will still have someone above him bitching though
