Call of Duty: Black Ops II is "tired" says EA product manager

Translation: we're jealous of Black Ops' sales and would actually like to sell some copies of Medal of Honor this fall.

Personally, I love that Electronic Arts is saying Call of Duty is tired. EA! Kings of the yearly sequel!

Granted, I think he's right. But if this guy told me the sky was blue, I'd look outside to verify.

Interesting commentary. Looks like fun and games

I have been thinking the same thing in regards to every EA sequential release for the last 5-10 years. EA are just angry that there isn't a license for FPS games that they can buy that prevents other games developers from developing that genre of game (look what they have done to sports games).

Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood? Or failing that, one of the Scary/Date/Epic Movie types? Definitely sounds like a Wayans bros. comment though.

Anyway, EA man tries to belittle the latest Call of Duty release. I'm getting deja vu...

Full Translation: Wait, no!!! Not Yet!!!! We're not ready!!!

I think it's funny when rival publishers come out and make comments like this. Who do they think they're fooling? I mean really... Do something original.

Publisher to publisher rivalries are good for the consumer, don't get me wrong. But at what point do consumers actually take marketing gimmicks like this seriously?

"Poor [Black Ops II], you look tired, you should take a year off and rest,"

I guess they're implying the series has been overused after one release a couple years ago? Hmm, okay lets look at the EA track record on sequals. Mass Effect 1-3, Battlefield 1-3, then you have Battlefield: Bad Company, Then Bad Company 2. Am I missing anything else as of late?

Here's my take on an EA to Activision phonecall

EA: Hey, is this Kettle?
Activision: Yes. To whom am I speaking with?
EA: This is pot.
Activision: Oh hey pot, how's it going.
EA: You're black.

Ah, rivalries. I say just let them fight it out at retail and see what happens. I expect daily brag posts based on everything from pre-orders, who has the most celebs at the midnight launch parties and which reviews get posted first that have the highest score for each title.

*Sigh* What's that Rodney King quote again?
