Subject: Bungie's future is less secure then you would think

when i heard bungie was teaming up with activision, i was as suprised as everyone, but i wasnt really woried. i think it was terrible timing with the whole call of duty problem just a few weeks before it was announced. I thought activision learned its leason and wouldnt interfere with bungie like it did with infinity ward, and with them hireing 300 more people and teaming up with blizzard, i AM confident that this wont be a problem.

my problem is this, activision NEEDS bungie more then ever right now, but bungie may not need them. Activision has slowly lost nealy all of its major franchises. it is now almost fully dependent on 2 games, world of warcraft and the yearly call of duty.

now the real problem is EA and activisions overdependence on these 2 games. EA now has nearly every other, non independent game and developers with them. the problem with this is bungie made a 10 year contract and im not sure activision will be on top that long. these next few years will be the turning point, first is the explosive battle between battlefield and call of duty, i personally like battlefield much better. i hope battlefield will win this battle, although with the amount of little kids who know nothing other then cod, its doubtful. i believe it will though cod off balance though, and it will definitly draw fans of other lower popularity shooters like fans of homefront, crysis and (this is not lower popularity) halo. i think it will make battlefield strong enough to knock cod off its throne at its next release.

but lets say it does better then expected and pulls ahead of cod, ea and many others are creating alot more mmo's of all types. rift was released which weakend wow considerably, and with star wars the old republic coming soon as well as new types like mmofps's like planetside 2.what would hapan if both of activisions top games were no longer selling enough. which is why activision needs bungie to create another hit game, just to be sure they stay in buisness.

this is why im torn, on one hand most of my favorite games are EA like mass effect and battlefield, but my favorite developer is now activision, which meens if battlefield is sucksessful like i hope it is, bungie will suffer too. i hope for bungies sake that there next game is a huge hit, and will last for the next 10 years. good luck bungie, i just want you to know that activision needs you more then you need them. i may not have every detail, but based on what i see, there could be some hard times ahead. please give your opinion, im not an economist so if anyone sees this differently, let me know.

A tosser is the same as a wanker. To toss oneself off is to fondle the trouser weasel.

Bobcast is paid in MILF blind dates.

"Hard times ahead for Activision" Is this a joke? As long as their heavyweights keep bringing in cash (which they will) they will be the dominant publisher in the videogame industry.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

You have no idea OP of how much activison -blam!-s on video game developers and how much damage it's doing in the gaming industry for consumers.

"Wake me...when you need me."

It is hard to take anyone serious who can't even use the English language properly.

Lmao, if you think Activision is going to fail in the future, you clearly haven't seen their lineup for the next 10 years.

I think someone doesn't fully understand the difference between developer and publisher.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

Call of Duty has sold far more copies that Halo at this point, but that doesn't mean Halo sold badly.

I'm kind of tired of the whole "one game duels against another game" mentality. People can buy multiple games.

If Bungie creates a good enough game, I'm sure they will have no trouble finding an audience.

More call of duty? yea thats a good plan/ sarcasm


I don't see why people are so glad to give bungie head all the time. They have a trend of leaving games after a time and they will never stay with just 1 game. So get ready for a ton of 343 like companies.

I like all kinds of games:Halo,Cod,Uncharted,Battlefield,Starwars ,[come out battlefront 3 :],and many others!

i think i need to clear things up, im going to shorten this to the main point. activision at the moment is relying on 2 games, cod and wow. this is all just speculatory and is worse case senario. if something were to hapan to those 2 games very soon, activision would have next to nothing, bungie would no doubt be affected by this. im not saying that this will ever hapen, but in the 1 in a million chance it does, it could be bad for bungie.

just bear with me, it mostlikely will never hapen, but im just following that old saying, expect the best, but prepare for the worst. i really hope bungie does well no mater what. again recap, i just want to put it out there that at THIS moment, activision is vunurable.
