Joker961's HQ: Call of Duty and Gaming Links, 22 April 2010

The big news, of course, is that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been declared "The Most Successful Entertainment Launch Ever" by the Guinness Book of World Records. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of great things about Modern Warfare 2, but it's also loaded with flaws which Activision and Infinity Ward appear to be in no itching hurry to fix. By contrast, Battlefield: Bad Company has had a weapons tweak already, as well as throwing players a customization DLC bone with kit enhancements on Xbox Live. (Tho, of course, in North America, you have to find the Dr. Pepper promotional cans in order to secure the kit DLC codes. In Europe, you can just buy the frackin' kit upgrades on XBL.)
Today's featured vid shows that World at War is still being played and played well. captcool420 starts off the montage with a three - almost four - man spray. After that is a Sandy Ravage SPAS-12 montage from both Xbox Live and PSNet. That shotgun is like a death ray when he uses it! The video also includes some serious "Death from Above" AC-130 action! Some YouTubers commented that the SPAS-12 is overpowered. Xmetal503Z replied: "The SPAS isn't over powered, Sandy Ravage is." On to the links:

PCWorld: Guinness Book of World Records names Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 'Most Successful Launch Ever'. The game that launched a 1000 glitches. Maybe there's a Guinness record for that, too.

LA Times Facetime: Activision Blizzard executive Thomas Tippl discusses Call of Duty's future. Most lawsuits? Most employees to escape from under the barbed wire? Most glitches? Oh, we covered that one already.
