FPS Episode 2 (Treyarch vs Infinity Ward)

Welcome back to First Person Showdown, this week we decided to stay on the topic of Call of Duty seeing as it's the most popular FPS franchise. While the gameplay is in Black Ops yet again, we PROMISE that the next episode will be sporting a different game as we talk about its pros and cons. This week however we stuck to comparing the two Call of Duty dev teams, Infinity Ward and Treyarch. Both of them have their ups and downs, and unfortunately for us (and Activision for that matter), Infinity Ward will not be making new Call of Duty titles (as of now.) But can the next dev team to step into the Call of Duty franchise fill the shoes of the team that created this groundbreaking series? Only time will tell.

AND HOW ABOUT SOME NEWS!

Since this isn't just one of our weekly (or technically bi-weekly) commentaries, we didn't talk about what's been going on in the gaming world. Fear not, for I am including a link dump this week for anyone who's interested.

About First Person Showdown (FPS):

It was all Sirsim's idea, blame him. The premise for the show is great, I gotta hand it to him for coming up with it. Since we're pretty busy guys we can only put out an episode every other week, so they're essentially replacing our dual commentaries for now. Once we're done with FPS we'll continue to do weekly commentaries just like the old days.
