Seems like not all is well in Activision, as a feud is developing between twin Call of Duty developers Infinity Ward and Treyarch.
Infinity Ward’s Community Manager Robert Bowling is whining openly on his official blog about Treyarch’s Noah Heller - first attacking him for his recent interview on CVG (”First of all, you didn’t work on “previous Call 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 f—ing wrong… I won’t compare it to World at War’s Bolt Actions, I can’t speak to that because I don’t work there. Just like you don’t work here, so please stop talking about our games.”) before exploding “A word of thumb I like to use is…. when promoting your game. Promote YOUR game. Don’t compare it to another game, or reference what OTHER games did in the past, pitch YOUR game. I mean, you have lots of cool things you could talk about… like Nazi Zombies… Can you guys please stop interviewing this guy, talk to someone who actually works on the Dev Team at Treyarch and knows what the f— they’re talking about. Not Senior Super Douche Noah Heller from Activision - who apparently has never played the game and doesn’t even work at the developer.”
Something tells me Bowling will find Activision frowns upon unprovoked infighting and will discover he needs a new job very soon.
