What we would like to know is, what happened to Infinity Ward’s Studio Head Grant Collier after the release of CoD4?

When you watch the video below there is an overwhelming sense of pride in what the development team has done with regard to dedicated servers and specifically the ability to create mods for your own servers. He discusses how they consulted the internet based communities for CoD1 & 2, clan based web sites but now they want to completely shut out the people who helped them make CoD4 one of the greatest game releases of all time.

What has gone wrong at Infinity Ward? are we about to witness another split between Infinity Ward and Activision similar to years back?….something has clearly gone wrong with the management at IW and or Activision.

Everyone needs to watch this entire video.

He mentions matchmaking as a good thing… How pathetic is that. If I wanted IW to choose who I’m going to play against I would buy the crappy console version of the game. Cheating and hacking??? Most of the dedicated servers I played on were already well equiped at dealing with cheaters. This is going to destroy the open community experience of the game. This is very disappointing and I’m not going to buy this game. COD was one of my favorite games for the pc, but now that IW has pulled this, they can kiss my ass!

No crap it won’t settle down the pc community. PC gamers have too much evidence on their side to keep on bashing bowling until the game is released. PC gamers want their dedicated servers, so why doesn’t he just tell IW to make it that way and silence the whiners…

Robert Bowling is a Xbox 360 fanboy, and he would say that as matchmaking is the only format he’s ever known. Anyway its just marketing BS from a company that knows its iw.net is a failed system.
