As for patches and Treyarch, my sources (pretty reliable) tell me the total budget Activision has allocated to patch COD5 post release is less than one quarter that COD4 had allocated to it. COD4 got 7 patches, so divide that by 4 and you get 1.75 - so that's 2 patches. We've had 1.1. That leaves 1.2 and then that's it!

With COD6 MW2 by IW slated to hit the shelves in November 2009, I can see the logic in that. However, if something isnt fixed in 1.2, it will never get fixed. And with the state the mods/mapping directory setup is in, I dont hold out much hope of even half the problems being addressed.

They say its not over till the Fat Lady sings. I dont know about you, but I hear her warming up right now.

Actually, Sherlock, what I said was I had heard he would be leaving in Easter 2009. As far as my reckoning takes me, we are not at Easter yet. So, the fact that he is still there is nothing in and of itself.

IW have recruited a PR Manager. I dont know if the job is still advertised on the IW site, but it was. Seems to me, that if they are advertising a PR's job, that corroberates what I had heard.
