| Quote | Raven is the development team: the creative genius.
Activision is the publisher: holds the purse strings (also owns Raven).
Activision is a corporation suffering from a stock slide (not making its profit projections during the big holiday season).
Go to their site and look at the games they are pushing. They are way over-franchised with Tony Hawk in all platforms.
My opinion: Activision should have better managed SOF2. They could have spent money introducing an add-on bonus pack for SOF2 multiplayer. Instead they invested in PunkBuster which (so far) has had the primary objective of checking for single cd keys behind a router (driving that crowd off of SOF2 servers and back to Counter Strike). Yes, it is beginning to have a positive punch against in-game cheaters. A marginal community is also the result: you be the judge as to which was better. We could have had PunkBuster without the airport pat-down cd key check. PunkBuster has been around for a while and could have targeted just the in-game cheating. Not my call. What is done is done.
In short: Raven created two great games: SOF2 single player and SOF2 multiplayer. Both show absolute genius in damage and weapon feel... They could have had a huge community with profitable add-ons... Multiplayer could have sold a package this Christmas equal to the total sales of SOF2 todate (my opinion). However, single player was released too soon and suffered slow fps. Multiplayer was (obviously) attached to single player and suffered un-addressed cheating then PunkBuster. Since Activision's stock is dropping like a rock, I would not be shocked to learn that any planned patches or follow-ups to the game will be cancelled. Activision has to see the handwriting on the wall concerning the size of this community. It does not matter that they caused the problem by sticking it to these great creations by Raven.

good thoughts. i too have gotten more than my money's worth for this game. i thought pb was gonna be the great panacea for the game, but it's not. a work-in-project, like my undergraduate thesis that was never finished. why would activision create another cost center (pb integration) if larger motives were not at play. they wanna stop the router-sharing that is affecting the sales of the title. like a multi-national corp, centered on making every last dollar it can, is gonna implement an expensive option to curb cheating. no dice IMHO, even if they are a gaming company.
I am counting on the Iraq add-on, 29.95. |

this game has a laser sight for the socom in single player, but to use it it removes ur crosshair puts a red dot on what evers infront of u, and has a small almost visible red line.
but i agree in mp there would be no point, to give people a good reason to use it they would really have to cause it to make the weapon really acurate |
