IW is merely laying the foundation for their speech of defeat cause they know they've been whipped by Dice's BF3. Once everyone finally sees and knows that for a fact, IW can gracefully bow out, without too much egg on their face.
Well, in fact. No, no and no.
See what matters to publishers is money and sales. not the Quality of game. They don't give a rat's ass. Even EA, if you look at the NFS series its just gone from bad to worse, except for the Excellent Shift series. About every game of their's is just rehash after rehash after rehash. They stopped producing the epic old Origin systems titles because "they don't see it to be profitable". Don't be fooled to much thinking that EA/ Dice really care. They don't. It's all marketing. It goes both ways though, Activision is doing the same as EA in promising all the bells and whistles, listening to the community and what not.
But its allllllllllll marketing trying to reel in players. To get back to my previous point. Mark my words today. BF3 might be the best game in the world, might be leaps and bounds better than MW3 on its own merits, but MW3 will still have a larger player base, and make more profit. This is a GUARANTEE. What does that mean, More Money into the pockets of Acti and IW / Sledgehammer, which inturn means that the egg is actually in EA's face no matter which way you spin it. MW3 may be a complete disaster, but it will outsell BF3 by leaps and bounds, so Activision win AGAIN.
I'm not taking sides though as I will be playing both games, so I won't banter the games, cause to me, while both of them Being FPS, they deliver a different experience, and I can get the best of both worlds by buying and playing both
