Above is the rumour that Infinity ward (makers of the best-selling game MW2) are making an MMO with Blizzard (makers of WoW) and sony online...Two of the worlds biggest game makers are coming together. If the rumour is true this game could be epic beyond wonders... :thumb:

Yes, it has worked so well on MW2..... Except for hackers, cheaters, console users, xp glitches, xp hacks, etc.

And yes I understood that Doublesb was sarcastic.

Did you read the webpage?? They are not working with Blizzard or Sony. They are looking to hire people from Blizzard or Sony. That is a big difference.

Thought Infinity ward shot down the last rumor of them making an MMO?

Still be funny to see the first MMO with match making

Blizzard has a form of match making in World of Warcraft that they introduced with their last update.

Er...not really.

Obviously, people would assume that the games they love so much could only be hated by someone who sucks as them, but unfortunately for your argument, that is false :suspicious:

I used to play Runescape all the time for about 5 years..and got to the max level...although I quit about 3 years ago.

Now, I can't stand grinding.....because I think that it's absolutely boring, and a terrible thing to base a whole game on (seeing as in basically every RPG you have to grind quite a bit).

I only ever played Runescape because like 15 real life friends of mine played it.....so it was more the social interaction that made it fun....which of course works with most RPG's (except single player ones)...however there's much cheaper ways of socialising.

If it's a shooter MMO, I might be interested. We're long overdue for one(Tabula Rasa failed to make a splash in the ocean). I'm sick to death of seeing this fantasy swords and shields bullshit.

But stay away from SOE for the love of god. I don't think they have a single successful MMO under their belt, they've only destroyed MMOs.

Well, there was Huxley, which is supposedly past closed beta and open beta tests, you might find more info here (http://huxley.ijji.com/cbt.nhn) and here. (huxleygame.com) I've been waiting on this for years now, and no solid release date has been given. I just hope it doesn't turn into another Duke Nukem Forever.


Also, concerning an Infinity Ward MMO...

Not balanced for lean/fun/skill.

Not true

EQ2 is one of the most polished and best games for PVE on the market. It has a pretty strong following as well right now. (Yes i did just say that)

And IW ARE working on an MMO but the COD rumors are pretty much false. They only came up because its one of IW's biggest IP's.

Thats because SOE puts more time in their EQ games, but look at how many SOE MMOs failed out of all of em. ;)

Lets start with the most obvious one..SWG

The reason that failed shortly after it launched was because LucasArts was not happy with the game. They asked/demanded SOE make it more child/carebear friendly or they would pull the plug. So its not SOE's fault that failed.

Vanguard failed because the studio fired the original team in the parking lot and struggled to gather resources to continue working on the game which explains the recent content cuts.

Planet side is perfectly fine right now with quite alot of active players since they announced the second one.

EQ1/EQ2 are doing fine with the new expansions

MXO was shut down because it never got a high player count even when originally went like i would say it never got more than 100k players.


I could pretty much go on but overall SOE are not a bad company but they do lack in certain areas.

LucasArts never asked SOE to make SWG more carebear, it was EA and SOE that came in and pretty much fucked the pooch with NGE. Not to mention making Jedi playable by anyone, it wasnt till more down the road it started to come more carebear but by then SWG was already done for.

Also by that time LucasArts kinda turned their back on SWG and SOE.

Where the hell does EA come in to this?

LucasArts told SOE to change the game to something more child friendly. SOE under pressure cracked and change it. EA was only involved with some of the over seas launch of the game on the Japanese end...

Probably where I heard it, but I also have heard that EA had more a role in SWG then most believe. Really SOE could have told LucasArts they are changing back to the way it was but they wont so to me SOE failed not lucasarts.

If SOE doesnt stand up for their MMOs the way people want to see them, then they arent worth my time or money.

Try playing mmo's that come from japan and SK.
MMORPGs are my kinda mmo, but a mmo like planetside would be cool.

SOE did stand up to LucasArts who came back to them and said they were going to pull the plug if changes were not made.

Its a shame the changes happened but its still not SOE's fault.
