It’s time for one of those “wow” moments that crop up in this industry so often these days. It would seem that Robert Bowling, community manager at Infinity Ward, is sick to death of Activision’s Noah Heller comparingCall of Duty: World at Warwith his own studio’sModern Warfare. So sick, in fact, that he has demanded Heller stopon his personal blog.
If I see one moreCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfaregoogle alert come through my inbox, that ends up being aCOD:WaWarticle that is only showing up because YOU referencedCall of Duty 4: Modern Warfaremore times than you mentionWorld At War…
Especially when you’re pulling shit out of your ass. Come on man, interview about your game.Not OURS!Call of Duty: World at Warcan stand on it’s own merits, leave ours out of it.
Bowling’s outrage has been tipped over the edge by Heller talking about bolt-action rifles in previousCall of Dutygames, suggesting that only inWorld at Warare they one-hit kills like they should be. Here was his answer to Noah’s claim:
WTF are you talking about?! “in previousCall of Dutys blah blah blah”. First of all, you didn’t work on “previousCall 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 fucking wrong.
Bolt Action rifles are one hit kills in everyCall of Dutywe (Infinity Ward) made!!
The IW community rep has suggested that “Senior Super Douche Noah Heller from Activision” needs to stop being given interviews, since he “has never played the game and doesn’t even work at the developer.” Very strong, very angry words. I’m all for crapping on Activision, butdamn… how long is he going to be keeping that job?
