Wasn’t it just a mash-up of the multiplayer from Battlefield 2 with the engine from Bad Company and the stilted follow-em-up Single Player from Call of Duty?
I guess Battlelog could be considered an innovation, but then it had sorta been done before in Gamespy/ASE.

Blizzard are just jumping on the popular bandwagon. Their products are sufficiently low spec and fairly hands off (or touch suitable in Diablo & the RTS-Craft games case) that you’d think they’d welcome any upswing in their potential userbase.

Maybe I was a bit too broad with my tarring. I see Pachter as the something of nothing – his advice (well, what’s publicised anyway) seems to be more about bigging up his ego and keeping his name in the news with sensationalist thoughts about where the market is heading. Has he honestly been bang [...]

Says the industry analyst, a something of nothing job that is the pure definition of greed.

And no doubt it would be Xbox 360-only, carry a subscription fee with DLC-escalator and the smallest male character would dwarf a roid-raging wrestler.

I think it’s got less to do with the device capabilities & more to do with the inability for anyone other than the developers of productivity apps to get people to pay for stuff on the Android Mark… sorry, Google Play. Even in-app purchases aren’t working, because the users just seem to prefer the ad-supported [...]

I thought it was also hurt by the early implementation DRM that intentionally broke an early quest, preventing the game from turning some of its pirates into paying customers. Oh, and then there was the whole Immortal Throne mess where the expansion radically modified the core gameplay, making it almost essential for multiplayer. It was [...]

Intel’s Core 2 line pretty much showed the benefits of multiple efficient cores running at slower speeds than single cores choking under the weigh of hyper-threading. It’s a balancing act, but definitely the way to go. Infact, it’s a shame that NVidia & AMD haven’t really pushed the same dual-core GPU format into the graphics [...]

I think the problem was GameSpy…
Obviously the game wasn’t going to feature Steamworks, but they could quite easily have roped in some networking know-how from DICE to write a proper backend rather than the broken system eventually implemented in C2.

It makes sense for a platform holder to hold exclusives for their platforms – it’s the simple ‘USP’ argument, but forcing people to use a specific service on a platform rather than their preferred one?
What a fucked up statement by a man who really doesn’t understand the PC at all!

Not ‘saddened’, but it’s a shame that they’re not maintaining the complete original cast.
Any official word on why Sorkin didn’t reprise the role? It’s a shame the cast is disintegrating, what with Mark Hamill stating this game will be his final ever ‘Joker’ performance.
