I read this from here:

That has to be bogus, this is crazy news. I don't think the military would make a mistake by only allowing one company to use their likeness as a marketing tool when everyone can use it and they get more kids interested.

Ya it does seem a bit unlikely to be true. Though when I read statements like: "We're kind of glad about the deal, now we don't have to worry about pumping out these games every year. We just want to go home and see our familes."
Then I think it is even more of a fake. So what? IW is going to stop making video games because of this news? That quote also makes it sound like the IW devs are locked at work for years at a time....when we all know - they have not been there long. If it is true then IW (and they forgot to mention Treyarch....why?) can still crank out games just as before. They will just have to rename some of the military factions is all. I just did a search around the inter-webs to see if there was another source to back this article up and nope, nadda, nothing. I call this a bogus article. UNTRUE! Also Chief you did not copy the entire article. This word and definition was at the bottom: Quote:

Fake.
Read the comments on the linky. Also, didn't see anything similar to this on IGN. |
