Justin Bieber…How you seem to keep popping up here on Geek Montage! So in our recently posted video of Justin — (Video: Justin Bieber Hit in Head With Water Bottle on Stage) — he was, as the title says, hit in the head with a water bottle. Someone on the internet end up getting a little bit creative, and decided to add him to Modern Warfare 2 in a pretty funny video (even if you haven’t played that game yet it’s still funny). Take a look at this game winning, Justin Bieber kill!
Found this Japanese CG series online, “Cat Shit One”. In a nutshell, Modern Warfare with anthropomorphic animals instead of people. This isn’t Saturday morning kid show crap though, this is actually pretty well done and funnily enough the opening presentation kinda resembles the beginning of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
“Cat Shit One” is based off of a three-volume manga series by Motofumi Kobayashi of the same name, although the manga was released in the United States under the name “Apocalypse Meow“. The setting of the manga was originally the Vietnam War, and the nationalities involved in the conflict were all given animal stand-ins (making for a uniquely Japanese form of hilariously innocent political incorrectness). That said, for the CG series, the creators updated the look with the modern-day parallel, the Middle Eastern conflicts. Read more »
The fallout from the Jason West and Vince Zampella firings continues, as Infinity Ward studios now sees an exodus of its senior developers from the company.
Up to this point, Infinity Ward, owned by Activision, has now seen thirteen of its senior staff leave the company including West and Zampella.
Whether this means Modern Warfare will still continue to be able to be produced under Activision remains to be seen; if necessary, the other Activision-owned development house, Treyarch, can take over for much of the functions lost with the recent departures of Infinity Ward employees. Treyarch has been known for producing the odd-numbered titles in the Call of Duty series still hearkening back to the series’ roots as a World War II-themed shooter.
Pretty damn well done for the grand total of $USD 209.42.
Yeah, pretty damn well done. Then again though, one has to wonder if they factored in the cost of those clothes and the airsoft guns they used, and if they did, what kind of quality did they get…
(I’m supposing for just filming purposes quality doesn’t really matter for airsoft guns )
UPDATE: New link for the video since the old one got taken down by copyright claim for some weird reason
So if I were to tell you that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been one of Activision’s greatest successes as the owner of the developer Infinity Ward, you would all thank me, Captain Obvious, and then proceed to denigrate my mother.
Well, it seems that someone else has missed the memo. Behold, as Activision does the unthinkable and fires two of Infinity Ward’s lead developers on the Modern Warfare series: Jason West and Vince Zampella.
This is, for any fans of Modern Warfare, even ones that were irked by the lack of dedicated server support for Modern Warfare 2, a bit of difficult news to swallow. What fortunes now for the Call of Duty series? Activision still has a new Call of Duty title developed by Treyarch set to follow the Second World War, but for the Modern Warfare series, indeed, the entire progenitors of the Call of Duty series, the future seems a bit uncertain.
The motivations for the firing are uncertain. The SEC brief filed earlier cites “insubordination” by the two senior developers, but lacking exact details, it is difficult to say what the case is all about.
