People blamed the quality of COD5 on Treyarch, but it seems WAW was just an omen of what was to come.

It seems like they did go the way of Michael Bay movie, then again I haven't played it yet.

MW2 seemed like the perfect catalyst to initiate such a change: the production would be top-notch; the series had always carried with it a sense of 'realism'; the fan-base is immense; the media were bound to report on every aspect of the game, sparking a cultural discussion of the role games play, and the place they take, in our culture. ha! pipedreams...but it will happen some day. i may just have to wait until my (presently non-existent) kids are my age before i start to see it. i was hoping for something sudden, but it looks like its back to the slow crawl forward...ah well. next big hope up: bioshock 2...lol and valve keeps promising that they will indeed finish HL2:e3 someday, and move on to HL3...=p would it be too much to ask them to write a revolutionary plot into it as well? what a shame…like you, i had built my hopes up perhaps a little too high regarding this game. originally i had simply hoped they would approach the plot and theme with the same goals in mind as with MW1. then i saw the airport teaser. my hopes, i dare say even my dreams for games in general, seemed suddenly within reach. with this single release, i really believed that games could become elevated to a new cultural status; games could be regarded as more than just for kids within the general population.

next big hope up: bioshock 2…lol and valve keeps promising that they will indeed finish HL2:e3 someday, and move on to HL3…=p would it be too much to ask them to write a revolutionary plot into it as well?
