Not angry. Pissed at ppl who flood his inbox with statements like WaW and COD4 comparison rants while most likely still working on a build....

"Pissed" in this context means "angry", though. They are... they are synonymous.

Overall, it seems there are both having a IW vs Treyarch pissing contest which is why Activision should have left it at IW and not milked the IP. His blog is actually cool--check it out on the OP's link!

Microsoft: "So you're unhappy at Activision? How about we give you guys all a 20% pay rise and some plush offices you can pick out yourself and come work for us"

Infinity Ward: "Ok"

2 years later: "Heres the preview of the NEW HALO 4 game thats gonna rock your socks"

3 years later: "Halo 4 had the biggest opening in video game history, it sold 4,000,000 copies on opening day and is set to pass the 10,000,000 mark set by its predescessors"

Incidentally, this would be pretty awesome.

It would be! They are some of my Favourite developers. One of the few outside of Bungie I would trust with the series.

But alas I suspect Activision won't be speaking to Microsoft for a LONG LONG time if that happened. GHV might find itself "Delayed" on the 360 by 3-6 months for no reason.

I wouldn't expect so. That's only robbing themselves of money, not Microsoft.

No, I meant about CoD5 in relation to CoD4. What did Heller say that provoked this?

incidentally, you need to somewhat relate the game to previous installments in order to keep fans of the series interested.

Yeah, I thought that would be obvious. Infinity Ward is developing a diva mentality here. Actiblizzard might have to put these kiddies on time out if they don't grow up.
