I’m more expecting Tiberian Twilight since I’m not a shooter fan. They said the team is expected to be laid off after the release because said game closes the book on the series released in 1995

“Oh, after you finish it you can leave, we don’t want you back here.”

Yeah, who’s going to ACTUALLY put in effort after hearing that? Especially with the game being planned for release only next year.

I don’t play that many games, but afaik EA has been on a downhill run for the past few years. Many gmes published by EA are notorious to have bugs after bugs, which means patching is a constant thing to be faced. CD-Key and usage limitations (and the notorious SecuROM). It has been known that EA is on a huge deficit recently, so axeing a lot of jobs away is inevitable I suppose.

Will they get back on the feet with titles such as Battlefield Bad Company 2? Well we will see.

@GNdynames

Yes!!! I was really angry at that three usage limitation as well >=(.

Lol the only problem I have with Activision is all their “Hero” games, ESPECIALLY Guitar Hero. The game is not bad, but there are just way too many versions out there that a new Guitar Hero release probably won’t feel any special…

ea has always been a giant ripoff, with a few good apples. activision is following in it’s shadow, though it’s reaching the final climax

You’d think setting only three usages per CD-Key was meant for more than just pissing people off…
